Angelina Ballerina - Angelina in the Wings
Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Fair play can be a difficult concept to grasp--especially when you're as headstrong as Angelina Ballerina is. Based on the popular Angelina Ballerina books by Katharine Holabird and Helen Craig, this animated series (seen on PBS) features a spirited mouse named Angelina who dreams of becoming a prima ballerina. Angelina's propensity toward passion and competition often leads to trouble, but her innate sense of compassion and fair play always triumphs. "In the Wings" finds a jealous Angelina grudgingly helping her young cousin Henry as he prepares for an important dance performance. "Treasure Tandems" celebrates fair play and persistence and "Two Mice in a Boat" proves just how much teamwork can accomplish--even between two very unlikely partners. Peer pressure threatens to deny success in "The Cheese Ball Cup," but perseverance and belief in oneself ultimately prove victorious. Dream big and play fair with Angelina Ballerina. (Ages 3 to 8) Tami Horiuchi

Angelina can't believe that Henry is chosen for the part she had set her heart on. To make matters worse, Angelina is Henry's understudy assigned to help him with his part!Customer Reviews:
The whole family loves Angelina.......2003-07-29
Angelina in the Wings - Angelina wants to be the new Sunbeam but the part goes to little Henry. Angelina must overcome jealousy and Help Henry or he will lose the part.
Treasure Tandems - Angelina and Alice are in a tandem-cycle race. But is winning the race more important than helping others in trouble (even if it IS the Twins)?
Two Mice on a Boat - Angelina and troublesome Sammy need to learn how to work together in the boat decorating contest or all of their hopes will be washed downstream.
The Cheese Ball Cup - Troublesome Sammy teases William about Ballet, so William quits and takes up cheese ball (really rugby). But everyone learns an important lesson.
Four fun stories. The last three are quite appropriate for boys as well as girls as they involve strong male characters (as opposed to the babyish Henry in the first story).
Angelina takes center stage!.......2002-05-24
The animation is crisp and clear, almost seeming three dimensional at times. Two of the main characters, Miss Lilli and Angelina are voiced by Dame Judi Dench and her daughter Finty Williams. There could not have been better casting for these voices as they are soft, smooth, and very calm sounding even when Angelina is in crisis.
The video consists of four 12-minute vignettes that deal with Angelina and her friends learning important lessons as they follow their dreams of becoming ballerinas. I think that both this one and Rose Fairy Princess will become staples in every little girl's video collection! Hopefully they will be releasing more in the future. Highly recommended.
