5.0 out of 5 stars sweet, quiet video, March 2, 2006

By

This review is from: Angelina Ballerina: The Big Performance (DVD)

My 3- and 2-yr-old absolutely LOVE Angelina Ballerina, so I wanted to get a few of her DVDs since it doesn't come on PBS very often. They adore this video, and they'll sit and watch it over and over--although I try to limit that b/c it only has four episodes on it, and I don't want them to get tired of it. It's also not over-stimulating, so it's a great way to wind down before naps or bed.

I think other reviewers have complained about having to watch commercials to get to the episodes, but I just hit the skip forward button on my DVD player, and it passes right over them--even the FBI warnings, which is very unusual.

No complaints here! And it's a great way to start talking about social interactions and siblings. The episode about Angelina's new baby sister is a special favorite, especially since we have two sisters very close in age. I think it never occurred to them that it was OK to be frustrated with having a sister before!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great series for preschoolers and up, April 27, 2009

This review is from: Angelina Ballerina: The Big Performance (DVD)

My 4-year-old is just beginning to get interested in ballet and dance and the Angelina Ballerina stories and DVDs provide loads of inspiration whilst serving to entertain at the same time.

There are 4 episodes altogether [12 mins each] - "The Royal Banquet", "Angelina The Mouse Detective", "Angelina's Baby Sister", and "The Costume Ball"

The animated stories remain faithful to the source material by Katharine Holabird, and retain the original illustrations by Helen Craig. The quality of the animation is above average, lending an almost real-life quality to the little mice, and the language is clear [British accent is used here]. In between the animated episodes, there are scenes of actual dance lessons, either ballet, folk or others.

I'd highly recommend the Angelina Ballerina series of DVDs to aspiring young dancers, those who love immersing themselves in a world inhabited by adorable little mice and this is probably suited to preschoolers and up.

This review is from: Angelina Ballerina: The Big Performance (DVD)

Love the stories on this DVD. Angelina is a sweet, soothing show that is good for calming and entertaining little ones at the end of the day. My 2-year-old twins enjoy seeing Angelina dance. I like hearing the British accents as well.
