The Tales of Beatrix Potter (with Dancers of the Royal Ballet).......2007-05-25
Joyous! For ballet lovers and children of all ages. Even the littlest ones will enjoy the antics of Potter's characters. Filmed in the English countryside as well as in the studio, this is a delight for the eye. Never tire of watching this one.
A charming and joyful film.......2007-03-29
This film is a wonderful production that engages the viewer and brings across the charm and wit of Beatrix Potter's beloved characters. Everytime you view it,you appreciate the effort made by the dancers to convey the spirit of her stories. I think this film is a good introduction for children (and their parents) to the world of ballet.
Enjoyed by the Whole Family.......2007-03-26
Tales of Beatrix Potter by the Royal Ballet is exceptional. It has been a delight for my granddaughter who asks for it to be played whenever she visits. One of my best buys. The whole family have been amazed by it.
English Elegance and Virtuosity.......2007-03-09
I was a child when I was first taken to the movie theater to see this film and I was very happy to have been able to find it here on DVD.
It is a genuine pleasure to see the Royal Academy Ballet celebrating one of their greatest artists in such a wonderfully robust fashion. I'm sure we have all been graced and beguiled by at least one of the beloved stories of Miss Peatrix Potter at some time or other in our childhood. This collection of her stories told in the form of ballet brings to the screen all the richness of English tradition along with the sweetness and charm of the old English countryside. Sir Frederick Ashton, himself an English treasure, brilliantly captures the physicality of each of the animals in these classic tales with waddling Pigs on pointe shoes and a frog with leaps that could rival the great Nijinsky himself. All performed in the most amazingly detailed costumes ever imagined without the use of CGI. One ocassionally wonders how in the world these dancers are able to see well enough to perfrom as well as they do. This speculation only last but a brief moment as the over all quality of this artistic triumph quickly whisks you away into the serene and wonderful world of the Tales of Peatrix Potter.
The Royal Ballet Beatrix Potter.......2007-03-08
Really delightful and has stood the test of time. My recording had a few hic-cups with the lighting in one of the acts. Music lovely, as were the costumes and scenery Can recommend.

Wonderfully Done.......2006-11-22
My Katie who is 3 years of age, loves this DVD. It's done so simply, no flash or loud noises. When ever she needs some down time this is what I reach for her. The illustrations are done as Beatrix Potter herself would have intended, and the narrator does such a good job. The music is very pleasant, and compliments the pictures perfectly.
A Surprise Hit with 5 and 3 year olds.......2005-01-26
We were given this DVD as a gift, and on first glance I thought it was no good. Many of the stories are told with a sort of film-strip of illustrations. But on watching, my kids are ENTRANCED. The readers are fantastic, they are reading the full (and literary, compared to most children's fare) text, there is charming background music, and some of the pieces are actually animated, but very gently. While the stories are gentle compared to all the bad guys, action and mother-losing in other kids movies, they're actually quite subversive, silly and real for young kids. It's their favorite and I'm DYING for Family Home Entertainment to produce a similar piece with Rudyard Kipling stories.
