I truly enjoy fantasy films and was expecting such. BUT, this was so much more! I was TOTALLY mesmerized by the costumes, lighting and performance. I have seen a bit of ballet in my 70+ years, but this was AMAZING! The story started as a WWII air raid and ended in, literally, a blaze of light. I strongly encourage parents to insure their children see this movie. The fantasy evolves into an extremely enjoyable ballet performance that is very easy to follow because of the narration. What a wonderful introduction to this genre of dance. I am so glad i watched it!!!
