Today's review is of the film, Ballerina.

This film is about a poor, young orphan girl called Felicie who decides to set her dreams on becoming a ballerina, but the orphanage is no dancing school so Felicie escapes with her clumsy friend Victor.

Then they finally arrive at beautiful Paris, what adventures await them?

Lets talk about the graphics first, this was an animated film with stunning graphics which have made me hope to go to Paris someday.

Next up is the music, which was also really good and made me want to get up and dance.

My favourite character was Felicie because of her determination and energetic personality and she never gave up.

My least favourite character was Regine le haut because she was stuck up and snobby.

Now for the clips.

My favourite part was when Felicie leaped and amazed everyone because it even makes your jaw drop and you don't even notice!

My least favorite part was when Camile smashed Felicie's music box because Felicie didn't have a lot and that was her only valued possesion.

The betchdel test is also a key to a review so here's the betchdel test.

This film is a great representation of both genders because is shows the best and worst of female and male.

There is also no favoritism towards any of genders included in this film.

I would watch this film a thousand times again because it spreads lot's of positive energy.

I would recommend this film for all ages because there's nothing wrong with this film, just pure humor!

This is a five star film for me, I would also recommend it to after school film clubs all across the country, this would probably be a fan favorite!
