Angelina Ballerina: Rose Fairy Princess

The aspirations of a petite young rodent named Angelina come to animated life in Angelina Ballerina: Rose Fairy Princess, a compilation of four amusing tales about growing up in Mouseland. In the title opener, Angelina wins the leading role in an upcoming recital but has overwhelming anxiety about the heights (literally soaring on a wire) she must reach for the finale. In "Angelina at the Fair," Angelina is stuck babysitting her cousin Henry, who tags along with her on an outing with friends and then gets lost. Angelina is devastated when she learns that a highly anticipated ballet performance is sold out in "The Ballet Tickets," and in "Midnight Muddle" Angelina and sidekick Alice are involved in the accidental destruction of a neighbor's prized cauliflower plant. Voiced primarily by British actors (including Dame Judi Dench), Angelina Ballerina is based on the popular children's books written by Katharine Holabird and illustrated by Helen Craig. Recommended.
