I love the Angelina Ballerina video series. They are very inspirational to young dancers.
4 year old adores these DVDS!!!
My other review about a different Angelina movie still stands...she LOVES these inexpensive DVDs and has gone from a die-hard princess to a ballerina wanna-be!!! Don't hesitate if you child likes animated girly shows and itty bitty mice that talk and dance!!
Despite annoying DVD set-up, the stories are still captivating
Yes, I have to agree with other reviewers that the DVD set-up is annoying. It doesn't allow viewers to pick the episode they want to watch, or skip the commercials. But, we haven't any other choice, and hopefully future releases of the show will take customers views into consideration.
As for the show itself, this DVD contains 4 episodes:In the first, Angelina learns to overcome her fear, in the second Angelina is forced to take her young cousin Henry to the fair and behaves in a beastly manner towards him until she loses him and then learns a valuable lesson, i.e. to be considerate of others' feelings. In the third episode, Angelina manages to get scarce tickets to a famous show, and in the last episode,Angelina's friend is blamed for something Angelina did, and Angelina learns the value of taking responsibility for one's actions.
The animated stories remain faithful to the source material by Katharine Holabird, and retain the original illustrations by Helen Craig. The quality of the animation is above average, lending an almost real-life quality to the little mice, and the language is clear [British accent is used here]. In between the animated episodes, there are scenes of actual dance lessons, either ballet, folk or others.
I'd highly recommend the Angelina Ballerina series of DVDs to aspiring young dancers, those who love immersing themselves in a world inhabited by adorable little mice and this is probably suited to preschoolers and up.
adorable
This video is a must have for your little princess.My granddaughter watches it over and over..
It was unbearable for me, but my daughter loved it.
Angelina ballerina is so cute, and she dances, all good, and the voice acting is lovely.
I have to warn the parents about the middle story, though, Angelina at the Fair. The main character bullies and then abandons her little cousin Henry because she doesn't want to look after him, and the poor kid is sobbing as he wanders the haunted house, where adults notice but do nothing. She refuses to buy him a blue balloon even after denying him the merry go round because she only has enough money for one thing, and she wants cotton candy ("candyfloss"). Yes, I am aware this is a cartoon, but I was teared up over it and just about sobbing when Angelina says she hates him.
My almost 4 year old daughter, however, loves anything with Angelina and didn't notice either the distressing situation or my distress. So this warning is only for the parents: It might upset YOU.
