What's the Story?
Angelina is getting frustrated in one way or another with little sister Polly in these four episodes. In "Superstar Sisters," she breaks her sister's music box and then must learn how to help fix the mess. In "Angelina's Nature Dance," she must learn to incorporate her little sister in an outing to the park to look for inspiration in nature for a dance routine. In "Angelina Jumps the River," Polly plays a central role in helping Angelina solve a problem for a school project, but first Angelina must be receptive to it. In "The Mini Mouseling," Polly again plays a central role in a dance routine once Angelina realizes how she can be an asset.
Is It Any Good?
Charming and entertaining, ANGELINA BALLERINA: SUPERSTAR SISTERS is chock-full of lessons in dance and life. Here Angelina and friends work hard to create original dance routines and solve problems in stage productions while Angelina also faces frustrations at home. Preschoolers who love dance and art will enjoy learning how to waltz and improvise, while siblings with tagalong little brothers or sisters will find relatable problems as they watch Angelina work through her frustrations with Polly. There are some sweet moments, too, when Angelina realizes she's been a bit hard on Polly and tries harder to appreciate her, and later, when she takes her out for a big day. With the added reinforcement that practice makes perfect with dance, this is a winning combination of realistic lessons that nurture an interest in fine art.
