    • Trivia
      The Statue of Liberty is shown light green- it's current oxidized state. During construction and for a few years after it would have been a shiny copperish bronze color.
    • Goofs
      The Statue of Liberty is shown as being already green when it should be brown. The bronze didn't deteriorate to green until around 1900.
    • Quotes

      Odette: [places a bell on a tree branch] Jump and ring the bell.

      Felicie: Why?

      Odette: Just do it.

      Felicie: You don't want me to dance?

      Odette: No talking. Jump and ring the bell.

      [Felicie obeys]

      Odette: Again.

      Felicie: You said we were going to train.

      Odette: This is it. Again.

      [Felicie shrugs, then jumps and rings the bell again]

      Odette: Felicie, you lack precision and finesse. You have little or no sense of rhythm. You're without balance, grace, and charm.

      [as she says this, she pours water around Felicie, creating a puddle]

      Felicie: [lightheartedly] Come on! You can't tell all that from one jump! Can you?

      [Odette doesn't answer; Felicie hangs her head in shame]

      Felicie: You can.

      Odette: On the good side, you have the energy of a bullet. But you also have the lightness of a depressed elephant.

      Felicie: [surprised] Hey! Mérante used exactly the same phrase!

      Odette: After ten years of cleaning, you pick stuff up. Okay, now jump up, ring this bell, land, and do not splash the water.

      Felicie: [looking down at her reflection in the puddle] That's impossible.

      Odette: [whispers] I thought it was your dream to dance.

    Ballerina is a great animation film
    Ballerina is a great french-Canadian animation film about 2 waifs who escape their orphanage and go to Paris to reach their dreams & never give up, Félicie (Elle Fanning) with a passion a natural talent for dance & Victor (Dane Dehaan) an inventor. Beautiful music, landscapes & sceneries, a Belle Époque tale that involves the construction of the Eiffel Tower & the Statue of Liberty. A kindly maid & a distinguished professor manage her to succeed. A movie for the whole family.
