Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaProduction of the dance sequences was actually quite a pain-staking process, as it was all choreographed and filmed in live-action format first, then animated over to match the cartoon environment that it's set in.
- GoofsBefore beginning her ballet lesson, the queen used magic to transform both Odette's and her dress into tutu-style dresses. After Rothbart kidnaps Erasmus, the queen loses her powers before she could save him. Later on as they approach Rothbart's castle, the Queen's dress had become full length again despite unable to use magic to change it back to normal.
- Quotes
Fairy Queen: Alone they are two, but together they are one. That kind of selfless love has awesome power.
Lila: Ah! Two for one.

Good ballet stuff for kids
The story and characterizations are packed with instant-recognition cliches for the kids, but that way the kids will appreciate the dancing because it's done in character. Though the dancing takes only a small fraction of the screen time, it's well animated (computerized from the dancers of the New York City Ballet) and the medium is used well as a way of eliminating distractions and directing attention.
Thanks to animation, the film shows us little children who dance like trained professionals. There seems to be a problem with the way they come down from jumps-- they seem to take as long as if they were bigger and had jumped higher-- but it's no big deal. I think the film could give a kid a helpful push toward appreciating ballet in particular and serious music in general. Sure the story is awful, but one movie can't have everything...
