This is the BEST Angelina Ballerina DVD EVER!.......2007-03-05

This is the best. In "Angelina's Princess Dance", Miss Lilly's ballet class in performing a ballet called Sleeping Beauty at Queen Seraphina's palace. And Angelina is chosen to direct the show. Angelina gives the queen's eldest daughters the starring roles. But things are still out of control, and the show seems doomed. Will Henry make his curtain call? Will the naughty princesses spoil everything? The performance will be cancelled when things aren't going very well. Angelina has had enough of Princesses Valentine and Sophie when she realizes that they are horrible dancers and demanding. Angelina will make the best production ever!

Our daughter loves the "Angelina Ballerina" books by Katherine Holbird and Helen Craig, and when we decided to start letting her watch TV, this was one of the first titles I thought would be good for her to watch... Unfortunately, the cartoons are *very* different from the books, in an entirely negative way.

Most alarming of all is how whiny, self-centered and deceitful Angelina is -- almost every episode involves her telling a fib and then having to make up for it. This is horrible role modeling for younger children, particularly since she KEEPS LYING from episode to episode -- there's no character growth, just Angelina being dishonest over and over again, until she gets caught or her conscience catches up with her. I'm also not fond of the ultra-competitiveness shown between Angelina and the other characters. In the books, Angelina always gets the lead role, but she is considerate of others, and shares the spotlight generously. By contrast, these cartoons show a never-ending series of backstabbing and manipulation... The supporting characters, including Angelina's friends, are made more flawed and unlikable than they are in the books. Alice, for example, is transformed from a perfectly nice little girl into a clumsy, fat, self-pitying hanger-on who is embarassed and envious of Angelina's success. The Pinkpaw twins are new characters who seem to have been invented just to be bad guys -- they try to sabotage Angelina at every turn -- and Angelina herself is far less likeable here than in the original books. Frankly, I'm amazed that the book's author, Ms. Holabird, allowed such terrible, distorted versions of her stories to be produced.

The books are magical, but the TV shows left a bad taste in our mouths. They are not on our "safe to watch" list anymore. Parents who were charmed by the books might want to preview these cartoons first, before letting your kid soak them up... It would be a shame to let them ruin the books for your mouse-loving little ones.

True to the Angelina stories, this focuses on the role of a leader and how to treat others. Angelina models effective problem solving techniques while providing children with an engaging story. The range of age groups represented (Henry, Angelina and Miss Lily) also allows children to view the situation from a variety of perspectives. The story is a great conversation starter for 5-6 year olds: "What would you try next?" "Why do you think she reacted that way?" "Why are they upset?" My [...] daughter and [...] son can both enjoy this video.
