Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Irishchatter I swear to god, this is meant to be a family film but we see babies in bags,not buggies or even baby appropriate to carry the child! Seriously I am god smacked and extremely annoyed that they let this be filmed, this is considered child abuse!Also, the acting wasn't the best at all. It may not have been a Hollywood sort movie but they should've at least given this movie a bit of a kick! It just looks so depressing and fake, it doesn't give you enough enlightenment to know that's it's a good movie! Emma Watson and Richard Griffiths(RIP) shouldn't have gotten involved in the film, it would probably be better off if they just stuck with Harry Potter that time.I wouldn't recommend this to kids especially the younger ones!

annevejb Notice Emma Hermione in the first two Harry Potter features and I found that she stood out. The first four novels underlined that. Princess, could there be any other like that one of the railway carriage of HP 1? Music. Dance. I now rate Emma for the Hermione of the novels? Here she is, as Emma Pauline, and in part, for me, this continues in those footsteps. Later episodes of HP features mostly made Emma's role unrecognisable, I am grateful to this Ballet Shoes for re-kindling a spark. Two special bits when she has to perform. Her acting changing from a low key natural style to overdrive, showing raw power. So truly awesome. And it helps me to appreciate the low key more. I have to rate this feature higher than HP 4, 5, 6 and 8, though she does carry over some of the gritty persona that she learned for 4 and 5 and to me that is overdoing the grit that Pauline of the novel has. * Look at the DVD box cover pics and there was something recognisable there that did not click, but when it did this feature became extra special. There was Yasmin tooth fairy by Emma's side. Here my first two versions of the comment go askew. Tooth is no stranger to machines or flying, and here she is in what would otherwise be a standard nerd role. But it is on stage she is prone to appear to be a nerd. She is expected to act. The biggest low is when she is expected to pretend that she is a fairy. The biggest low for me is when she is scripted to have a geographer / developer motivation rather than a mech. engineering motivation. Tooth even manages to share a bath with Emma. Dream of dreams. So much better than the novel. True there will have been a film crew there, too high a price. True, they were both in tears. My biggest flaw in commenting on this feature related to this part. In the 30's some would have considered a cuddle bath to be mandatory, given the tears, but not as many as today? I had been hoping to start looking for DVDs of mid teens Drew Barrymore. Ballet Shoes told me that I needed to hold off from that for a while, concentrate on Tooth, and there were some Tooth around that I still did not have. All I got around to with Drew was a naughty girl Drew, Ivy, which is not fun sort of naughty. * Lucy Posy Boy n Ton as a problem for me. In this role she needs to be highs and lows and the highs are way more magnificent than the others, for me she does those well, but the lows are way more the opposite of magnificent and as with Emma in later HP she does that way too well. Her reaction to Madame's illness compares to UK problems with situational ethics over the past thirty years. The highs include her dance. I accept that she does not dance as an expert in ballet might, but there is still something special about her approach. The biggest flaw in this feature is how the stunt double linked in, it was the only part of this feature that was visually false, looking like Posy at the very end of the story. Elizabeth Bernard's 1987 novel, Satin Slippers 3: Stars In Her Eyes. This centres on the question of how should a dancer chose if needing to chose between her child and her dance. I did need this novel for that aspect in Ballet Shoes to be clear. * For these to stand out, it helped that the other performances were so okay. Except this is a BBC television adaptation that was made for them by the ITV? Has the world really gone so weird? Something about this story makes one cuckoo?

lflower29 At first I just wanna watch this movie because I love Emma and she is my favorite as Hermione on Harry Potter movies. But I decided to read the book, not so famous in my country among the children and with no translation, and I love it. My favorite character was Petrova, a girl really talented but misunderstood in a society that thought cars and machines where not made for girls. When I saw the movie I love it too, despite the changes that the story suffer in comparison with book (for example, the lung problems of Garnie, her romance with Mr Simpson and the triangle that involves Theo). I love Emilia Fox as Garnie: you can see her pain and suffering about the girl's future with Gum's disappearing, and still, her sweet personality. Even if the girls (Emma, Lucy and Yasmin) are bigger than her characters on the book, they were fantastic, never silly and the story for them had sense. I loved Emma as Pauline, think she can do it better as actress, but is really talented and her story on the showbiz is far from being over. Lucy as Posy was excellent: this kid is really gifted and I guess a successful career is waiting for her. And my favorite, Petrova, could no find a better performer than Yasmin Paige. For me, Yasmin was the best of all, with a lot of passion and feeling. Thanks to BBC and to all this casting for honoring like this to a master as Noel Streatfeild.
