Leap! (2016)
6/10
For very young audience only
15 January 2022
Good enough for a very basic American audience that knows nothing about what ballet is and (more important) what ballet WAS at that time.

This is not a minor issue both as for what ballerinas of that age (11yo) can/could technically handle and the real dynamics inside a ballet school as Opera or ROH.

The director went even further choosing a totally inappropriate soundtrack and something equivalent to the "challenges" in TV shows or movies as Step-up (see Félicie vs Camille challenge).

Last but not least, historical nonsense as the motorbike in a epoch that is supposedly anterior to 1875 (see Statue of Liberty construction). I hate historical nonsense because facts cannot (should not) be reinvented especially when the audience lack the knowledge to understand what's wrong.

The animation is good (not Pixar but good enough) and the "acting" (as facial expression, jokes, etc) ok for young audience.

Sufficient but I definitely prefer movies as Bolshoi (2017)
