Ive never seen the ballet. never read the original story that was changed greatly for the ballet, so ive read.
i enjoyed what i saw, it was fun even if not completely original. a hint of battle droids and a somewhat cliched hidden betrayal story.
my only complaint, it should have been longer. about 30 minutes longer. it felt a over edited, maybe to keep the kids from getting bored. this isnt just a kids movie. it kept me from really getting into it more than i did.
it looks great and is acted great. i enjoyed everything i saw, just wish there was more to see.
