Ballerina:
The Show Must Go On
(
2003)
producers:

for HIT Entertainment
animation: 2D
animation
run time: 50mins
Christmas is coming to Chipping Chedar, and once
again Mr Operatski is putting
together the cast of dancers for the annual musical.
Angelina mouse is desperate
to play the lead role in "Cinderella
Mouse and the Ugly Whiskers". But what's this?
Mr Operatski has given Priscilla the plum
role instead. And what's more, Angelina
has been saddled with the part of Wicked Stepmouse!
Sensitive Angelina isn't one to hold her temper
and she complains loudly about
the casting to all and sundry. But the foolish
girl lets her temper get the better of
her and she quickly finds herself dismissed
from the production altogether. Miss
Lilly helpfully steps into to Angelina's shoes,
but she in turn is unintentionally
injured by the girl during a winter toboggan
race and that puts the entire school
production in jeopardy. What on earth is to de
done? Will Angelina learn some
humility and rectify her wrongdoings, or will she
become the outcast of the school?
What ever happens, the show must go on!
Angelina gets the feature-length treatment
here in her first video-special.
There's not much one can add except to say
that, if you love the series, then
you'll no doubt love this production too. Both
the series and film remain
remarkably faithful to the original, with Helen
Craig's artwork leaping,
pirouetting, and even tobogganing, off the
page and in to animated life
thanks to the folks at HIT, Grand Slamm, and
Varga Studios...
