Lights, Camera, Dancin'!, February 8, 2005
I got this for my daughter because I had a coupon for it, and Angelina Ballerina is one of the few kids shows I actually like to watch.
There are 3 episodes of Angelina Ballerina, and a surprising number of bonus features.
Two of the three episodes show Angelina not on her best behavior. Sometimes she can be a little prima donna (some might say 'spoiled rotten brat') and this might be a off-putting for people who are used to mild mannered cartoon characters. But she usually gets over it. Also, Sammy, the bully, is pure evil. My guess is he'll grow up to be Mouseland's first serial killer. I think he says a mild swear word in the one episode he's in. Some people might be offended by this. The Halloween episode is really adorable, though The 'stinky cheese' myth is kind of funny. Overall, the cartoon is cute, and I like the characters' voices. It has a really quaint homey feel. The Little Stars segments are really excellent. You learn a lot about the world of ballet. The real life dancers are very good, even the little kids.
The bonus features are good, especially if you're into ballet. There's little games and they show you all the ballet moves. Overall, I would recommend this DVD for kids, especially if they like ballet or Angelina Ballerina. Adults won't mind watching it either.

SO disappointed, October 28, 2004
As the mother of 2 young girls, I am a HUGE fan of the Angelina Ballerina videos (I own 5)...they are polite, refined and teach exemplary behavior lessons. However, I was SO upset to see that one of the characters on this video cursed...one of the characters actually said "damn"....I rewound it 4 times to be sure I heard correctly. Perhaps not a big deal to you...and yes, these are manufactured in England where the word has less import...but there is SO little in the world that is still wholesome enough for young girls to enjoy...did they really have to ruin it for me? So, while I am a huge believer in Angelina generally, I take a pass on this one.

Perfect for aspiring ballerinas, April 30, 2009
"Angelina Ballerina - Lights, Camera, Action!" features the lovable yet flawed mouseling, Angelina teaming up with her friends to give us 4 entertaining episodes. In "Lights, Camera, Action!", Angelina enters a movie-making contest and ropes in her best friend Alice, cousin Henry and friend William to assist, but goes overboard with her high expectations, until she is finally brought back down to earth, literally.
In "Anya's Visit", Angelina's old friend Anya comes to visit from Dachovia, but Angelina's initial enthusiasm gives way to resentment and jealousy, causing Anya to be hurt by her friend's attitude. In the end however, Angelina realises her faults and makes amends.
In "Henry's Halloween",Angelina's cousin Henry thinks he's seen the Chipping Cheddar Witch, much to the amusement of Angelina and friends. But a surprising turn of events has Angelina and Alice very thankful to him.
"Sammy's Club" has troublemaker Sammy and his friends leaving William out of their downhill racer club, until their racer breaks and only William's dad can help them fix it.
Besides the 4 episodes, there are bonus features such as a Matching DVD Game, a dress-up with Angelina game, and Angelina's dance class. The total running time is abt 52 mins.
