Look at what a great track!
You had a great idea to take us skiing.
I am so glad you are enjoying yourself.
Thing? Would this be fun?
I shiver up to the bottom of my tail.
- I'm dizzy at this height. - We're not that high.
I have no idea, my eyes are closed.
Do you know that you are really a hoot?
It seems that Geronimo is an ace of acrobatic skiing.
Aaah!
Go hard Geronimo!
Good boy!
Uncle you made a descent on your back, great feat.
Listen to me next time I'll decide where to go.
He will choose a quiet, calm, safe place and not too high up.
Like a theater.
This is a relaxing evening at the theater.
Ratteo and Grovietta. What is that?
One of William Cheddarspeare's most famous tragedies.
How boring, they use words like "lady", "come on".
They go around the stage walking like that.
O my bridesmaid, do you wish to admire me,
while I strut in my leotard for two hours?
Do you prefer that we go bowling and eat a hotdog?
I said we were going to have a quiet evening,
but actually every night there is a monstrous giant rooster,
Which spoils the show every night by scaring people off.
I want to find out what's behind this story.
I'll do a mustache scoop.
- Did he say a giant rooster? - Always better than the theater.
Not that there is a large audience.
They are so frightened of this story
that hardly anyone comes to the theater anymore.
As far as I'm concerned, it's better this way.
There is more space to get comfortable.
- Things? Is the show over? - It hasn't even started.
Sit composed and pay attention. It is not polite to put your paws on chairs.
My master is better than yours.
Improve? How dare you.
Great! Watch your back, they attack!
It is a phenomenal sight.
Stop citizens, stop fighting. I beg you.
My handmaid will these fights ever cease?
Yes, my lady, because love always triumphs over everything.
Calm down gentlemen.
- Geronimo is everything okay? - Yes, yes all right.
But where is that rooster?
- Seems gone. - Like the public.
And unfortunately almost all of my actors.
What a pleasure, you are Olivier Cheesburger the famous director.
- Your name my sweet girl? - Emma.
Would you like to come and have a pizza with me?
No thank you.
Mr. Cheesburger, I'm Geronimo Stilton
I'd love to help you unmask that fake monster.
I would be thrilled. That made my actors flee,
like rats from a sinking ship.
I haven't left.
My name is Patric Parmisano, I am the manager of Miss Emma.
I have no objection to my actress staying here,
as long as you can guarantee her safety.
Yes sure, thank you very much.
I just wish the other actors had the same courage too.
Please don't abandon me, you are the star, I need you.
No.
At least open and look at the flowers.
No.
Where will I find another artist like you?
You are the most beautiful, the most expressive, the most intense actress
in the whole history of theater.
Okay Olivier I will not abandon you for the moment,
but if that creature interrupts the show again I will leave.
After all, I am the great Anne Rattaway.
We need to find clues, search everywhere.
I look in the boxes.
You know there are stairs too, right?
Are you sure you don't want a burger, I know a pretty good place.
Sorry but I don't really like a burger.
Now I need to speak to my manager.
This feather is our only clue.
There are other feathers up here, red feathers.
I compared it to the feather database.
But it doesn't turn out to come from any rooster,
I was sure that monster was fake.
Yes, I know the stairs, but this is faster.
They would look like lures could come from a costume.
Many have written about that little bird.
The newspapers gave him a nickname,
the crested monster of the stage.
"Crustacean"?
"Crested" because the rooster has a comb.
The question is:
who is the crested monster of the stage? What he wants?
Who knows, I'll tell you what he's doing, he's ruining us.
The public demands the money back.
Cheesburger.
No, here is the master of the theater.
I know that monster has stopped the show again.
That's true, Mr. Grovierer.
If we keep losing spectators, I'll
turn this place into a shopping mall!
Don't worry, I will solve this mystery and prove that there is no monster.
- What you are doing? - I'm looking for clues. You?
Leave me alone, I'm so sad.
- Emma doesn't want to go out with me. - It's not your fault Trap.
The fact is, you don't have much in common.
You're right. You are a genius!
Emma is an actress and loves theater, and I love theater.
- And since when? - Since I met her.
I want to act too. I will audition for this show.
Hey you, marrano. Now I'll try my fake sword on you.
You hit me right in the heart, disgrace, I'm badly hurt.
Very seriously,
- So? Can I consider myself hired? - Of course,
my actors are all gone.
I would even hire a monkey if it got into the costume.
I'm in danger.
My spearmen, protect me.
Hey spearman number three.
It's your turn. Where is spearman number three?
Excuse me sir, I was looking for my helmet.
Hey Emma, ​​I'm acting too.
Sorry!
It's all OK. What I have to say?
More red feathers.
They remind me of something but I can't figure out what!
What are we looking for besides feathers?
This is the place where the alleged monster appeared,
there must be a secret door, a panel.
My intuition is not wrong in these things, let's try to move the curtains.
Or the armchairs, or the candlesticks.
Benjamin.
Benjamin, are you all right?
Yes everything okay, I found something. Other feathers.
- What do you say let's go down? - Of course, I'll go first.
Sewers, yuck!
These tunnels must pass under the city.
I guess the so-called monster uses them to get to the theater.
Now we have to find out where it came from.
Here we go!
Watch out, my father's spearmen are on their way.
Everything is collapsing!
I tell you I forgot my line, I'm sorry.
Dear Donna Grovietta, could you persuade your handmaid to go out with me?
Maybe for a couple of burgers.
You act like a rat with a stomach ache.
Thank you. You're not bad either.
This is an outrage, that flying monster is trying to destroy me.
Hey it's not a flying monster.
That's a mouse like all of us. Now I understand everything.
It gives the impression of flying thanks to these thin steel cables.
It's funny to be honest,
however that monster is just someone in a rooster costume,
hanging from a cord.
I don't care so much I'll leave the company now.
No, we need you, and you need us. The world needs theater.
Thanks to the theater you can learn everything about love, friendship and life.
Will we be intimidated by a rat disguised as a feather?
No, because we are actors, right guys?
Okay, I'll stay with the company.
You can also put me down now.
Well, now: would you like a hotdog?
But it's kind of a labyrinth.
The crested monster could be anywhere.
Look over there uncle!
A monster with a cell phone! Come on.
Where did it go?
There he is.
Benjamin wait!
Help!
Aaah! I can't stop. Help!
A sewer bath is worse than rancid cheese.
As we thought. He is a mouse in a rooster disguise, not a monster.
He manages to get into the theater by going underground.
He does not fly and is carried by the cables above the stage.
Okay, but we don't know who he is yet.
Nor why he wants to ruin the show.
Maybe he is the owner of the theater,
he wanted to turn the theater into a shopping mall.
Sure, it's a possibility.
What do you think Trap?
- Trap! - What's up?
Sorry I was studying the script, tonight is the show.
My master is better than yours.
Better than mine? How dare you say it, Rinaldo?
I mean Ubaldo? Or something like that.
On guard. Take this, and this.
This and this.
I want my spearmen. Poor me.
Where are my spearmen.
I'm late, sorry so much,
but my lower back is stuck in this barrel.
For all the robiola cheese of this court how could this happen?
Believe me, you don't really want to know.
Well, you are hired as a jester.
Thank you.
Now, make a big smile.
Gone.
I don't know about you, but I'd like to spare me another chase in these sewers.
Okay let's try to watch the video.
If that's a rooster, I'm a cat. Stop!
I don't recognize his face, but he's definitely bald.
Of course, the master of the theater is bald.
- What if it really was him? - Perhaps.
However it was we who frightened him.
Come on, let's go back to the theater.
I'm pretty worried about Trap's acting test.
Statopico Trap.
You have talent, and I know it!
Great news, tickets sell like cheeses.
But this is not a comedy show.
Would you like a kebab with the new big star?
Leave her alone Trap.
She's just a little shy, she'll change her mind.
As Cheddarspeare says:
good cheese must be given time to mature.
Or something like that.
Sorry gentlemen it's sold out.
Aaah!
Emma, ​​have you seen Anne?
No, no one has seen it. Where could it be?
What happen? Why doesn't the show start?
Anne is gone.
A moment ago she was here, and suddenly she disappeared.
- Don't worry, we'll find her. - For real? As?
Don't worry, I have an idea, come with me.
We can't wait. Emma, ​​I know you know Anne's part.
You, you'll be grovietta tonight.
How are we going to find her? We don't even know where to look for it.
Tea, those red feathers, don't they remind you of something?
- Do you have a suggestion? - The Camembert Rouge show?
Of course, "rouge" means red in French.
The actors wore costumes with red feathers.
Do you think it has to do with that place?
It closed many years ago.
True, but the palace is still there.
If I think about you, my heart gets so tight.
Does it hold your heart dear?
You don't know how tight the tights are.
My father is waiting for you, on courage follow me.
It's a word, I can't even walk on it.
Stop being a clown and follow the script.
Well here we are, it looks abandoned.
- But what ... - Maybe yes, maybe not.
- Well done Benjamin. - Get me out you ugly bird.
Otherwise I'll turn you off and eat for breakfast.
This is Anne.
Release me now, yes I'm Anne.
I am a movie star!
- Backards. - Is fine?
- No, I'm furious. - Someone is coming.
You locked me in a closet and ruined the show.
You will pay dearly.
No, you won't get away from me that easily.
No, not down there again.
- Come on, up the ladder. - Don't let him get away.
My dear, I am here for you.
Get out! Go away.
Thing? But how dare you?
I am the star of the show and you can't treat me like that.
Now stop it, you're ruining my big break.
I didn't think I was that high!
You are all envious because I am the protagonist
and you are just a bunch of amateurs.
Look Emma, ​​I'm starting to think it was a mistake to propose you a date.
Tah dah!
You were supposed to scare Anne, so I would take her place.
Feathered, good-for-nothing sucker.
Well, it's time to find out who's hiding under the mask.
Emma's manager. Who would have thought that!
I had to figure it out.
One moment, in our video, the monster was bald.
Amateurs.
Well, it looks like our rooster is destined to return to the chicken coop.
Am I right?
Emma's manager,
he had to scare Anne into leaving the theater
so that Emma could take her place.
For quite some time, our dishonest actress
will only be able to perform in prison.
Do you mind how it ended with Emma?
- Oh no, I have an appointment. - And with whom?
Good morning big star, ready for a pizza?
Maybe you prefer a burger?
