appendix. "But in the middle of the night, Miss Clavel said, 'Something is not right!' (from the book "Madeline")." Poor Madeline had a bad appendix. Luckily, it was removed quickly and she was left with a great scar. While at the hospital, she was also able to visit Lady Covington.
Leopold. Leopold was actually trying to kidnap Pepito so he could hold him for ransom. His partners in crime were the clowns from the circus, Les Idiots.

Vicki. Pepito was riding his Vespa in the courtyard. Vicki also said he was "perfectly Elvis!". Aggie said Pepito was "sort of handsome". Madeline was convinced the Pepito was a 'bad hat' (a direct reference to Caldecott Award winning book "Madeline and the Bad Hat"). Madeline then tells Vicki, "Nobody wants a chance but you, Vicki. You're all googly-eyed!"
Idiots. Leopold always called them idiots and they would get mad because that was just their stage name. Their job was to distract Pepito's parents at the circus so Leopold could nab Pepito.
saved her from the river. Genevieve is a dog. After she saved Madeline, the girls wanted to keep her, but pets were not allowed at the school. Miss Clavel relented, but Lord Cucuface (Covington) threw Genevieve out when he found her in the garden shed.
Lord Cucuface. Madeline accidentally called him Cucuface to his face when he came late at night to give Miss Clavel letters to the girls' parents, telling them the school was closing. Even Helene called him Cucuface.

Fred. Madeline made friends with the chicken in the car. That night at dinner, she did not want to eat "Fred" so she decided to become a vegetarian. About half the girls followed her lead. Vicki was not one of them and proceeded to eat the chicken to the chorus of girls clucking at her.
| At the museum, Pepito found Madeline's sketchbook. What did he write in her book? | Mad About "Madeline"

Beware. "Beware! Beware of what?" was Aggie's question. The girls were discussing this when Miss Clavel came in with an invitation to Pepito's birthday party. Many of the girls were afraid to go because of the message in Madeline's notebook, but Madeline was not going to be frightened by Pepito and insisted they were going.
motorcycle. The clowns left the knives from their act in the back of the truck so Pepito and Madeline were able to cut their ropes. Then Madeline found the motorcycle, Pepito started it with Madeline's hairpin and they burst out when Les Idiots opened the back doors. They led Leopold and the clowns on a merry chase and escaped when Miss Clavel forced the truck into a pond with her car.
Hatty Jones. Hatty Jones, born on July 21st, 1988, got the role of red-haired Madeline at ten-years-old. A London, England native, the young actress had to tint her blonde tresses red before filming, and took three months off of school to film.
"In the film, Hatty is like a Fifties Spice Girl, with Fifties girl power." said Hatty's drama teacher, Fiona Mogridge, on a website for Muswell Hill (a community in North London, where Hatty's drama school is located), "It's her first film, but she is a natural. The studio wanted someone brave, inquisitive, but cute and small for her age. She went to four auditions and a screen test. When it came down to the screen test it was between her and an American girl. I thought the American would get the part. Studios usually prefer them because America is the main market. But we were delighted when Hatty beat 4,000 other girls to the role."
Fred. "Fred the Chicken" was a rooster. He wound up on the table the night Madeline got home from the hospital. Madeline refused to eat Fred, deciding to be a vegetarian, causing nine other girls to decide to be vegetarians with her. The incident caused quite a bit of craziness at the table, and ended with Miss Clavel sending the newly turned vegetarians to bed with no supper.
Marie Gilbert. Lady Covington's mother ran the boarding school back when she was a child, so Lady Covington, of course, attended. She carved her name, which was Marie Gilbert at the time, on the baseboards in the girls' room. Madeline found this out during a secret late-night hospital visit, while Madeline was in the hospital recovering from getting her appendix removed.
Dresses. The girls' uniform by day consisted of bright blue dresses, red and blue striped ties, white socks, patented Mary-Jane shoes, plus bright blue coats and straw hats when they went outside. When it rained, they also sported bright yellow umbrellas. The only time you ever saw them wear anything different was at Pepito's birthday party.
Frances McDormand. Frances McDormand played Miss Clavel, a nun who managed the twelve girls. Miss Clavel loved all of the girls a lot, but seemed to have a special fondness for Madeline.
Born on June 27th, 1957, McDormand was a Pennsylvania native. She was in the films, "Burn After Reading" (2008) and "Something's Gotta Give" (2003), and in 1994, McDormand adopted a son, Pedro, from Paraguay.
9 P.M.. Lord Covington called the students "little brats", after Madeline accidentally addressed him as "Lord CooCoo-Face" in front of him. Miss Clavel responded, quite defensively "They are not brats, Lord Covington - they are young ladies. They respect their elders from seven AM when they wake up until nine PM in the evening when they go to sleep."
At the river Seine. Madeline stood on the edge of a bridge, to be seen amongst the other girls while making a speech to them, about how Pepito was "a bad hat". In her excitement, she fell off the bridge and nearly drowned, but was rescued by the white lab she named Genevieve (played by Nanny the Dog). She kept Genevieve hidden at the school before showing Miss Clavel, who made Madeline keep it in a shed out back, since there was a strict rule in the school of "no pets allowed".
Pepito's tutor. Leopold, Pepito's tutor, kidnapped Pepito with intent of getting ransom money. Madeline saw him and began yelling at Leopold to stop, so in order to get away with his plan, Leopold had to kidnap her too. Soon though, Madeline and Pepito were able to escape on a motorcycle, hidden in the trailer that they were tied up in. Pepito had his doubts about riding the motorcycle, since he had never ridden one before, only his Vespa, but he eventually found the courage to.
What a Wonderful World. At the end of the film, Lord Covington decided not to sell the school. Everything at the school was happy and rosy again, making it a "happily ever after".
Louis Armstrong recorded the song in 1958. Whilst it wasn't such a hit in the United States, it was in the United Kingdom, becoming the biggest-selling hit of 1968 in that country. That made Louis Armstrong the oldest man to top the billboard charts, at 66 years and 10 months old.
