      Leap!--The Cliche Story of a Girl's Dancing Dream

      This movie can be summed up in one sentence. A poor girl's dream came true. Felicity grew up in an orphanage with the dream of becoming a ballet dancer. One day, she escaped with another boy, went to Paris, and was taken in by a maid. Because the rich girl broke her music box, she used the rich girl's quota to enter the opera house to study ballet. Her foundation is too poor, and she is about to be...

      There's nothing great about Felicity and misplaced fairy tales

      Sitting alone in the middle of a group of children following their parents, surrounded by garishly arranged seats and walls, I felt a chill in my heart: Wan Duzi, this movie viewing experience is already predictable - after all, it's not like meeting a bear child while watching a movie or watching a movie. Once or twice. Once I went to see Tennessee's "Glass Menagerie", there was a kid in the back screaming and asking his parents if this was true, and I was convinced that Tennessee dared to...

      Third-rate plot, first-rate music, first-rate dance, first-rate picture

      It's really lively poisonous chicken soup, but I still feel moved when I see Felicity dancing at the end. She certainly has potential, but she is really super lucky. There is a "mother" who used to be the best ballet dancer, adopted her, helped her lie, taught her to dance, and made her from no foundation to the best in class; there is a teacher who cherishes talents, and this teacher happens to be Love "Mom", so forgive her for her impostor mistakes, forgive her for being late to the...

      Inspire the heart of love and hard work

      Don't judge children's movies from the perspective of adults. A child who learns ballet will fall in love with ballet through this movie. It is enough! Children with uncomplicated plots are more likely to accept uncomplicated emotions and children are more likely to understand! Don't judge children's movies from the perspective of adults.

      Dreams don't come into reality——After watching "The Great Felicity"2017-2-11

      "The Great Felicity", a fairy tale about a girl at the bottom of society who changed her destiny because of her dreams.
      Felicity, a girl in an orphanage, loves dancing since childhood, full of dreams and full of energy. Dreaming of performing at the Paris Cabaret and becoming an amazing dancer. Because of the dream, I started a series of dream-chasing actions, and finally successfully danced with the best dancers on the best stage.
      On the bright side, this is a chicken soup drama full...

      It is indeed poisonous chicken soup. This is the scriptwriter's pot. There are many film and television dramas about impostors. The first task is to give the protagonist a reasonable reason. If this is not handled properly, the whole story will collapse. For example, the female lead can be set to hate ballet but be forced to study, or she can let the female lead pretend to be herself because she accidentally breaks her leg but does not want to lose the opportunity to apply for the exam. There...

      OST is so good! Love You Know It's About You. I don’t talk about three views or three views. The main problem is disrespect. I won the ascetic school by shouting a few words of love so lightly. I feel wronged for Camille. A similar good setting is that of "Dancing Out of My Life". Boss Qian has been a hip-hop master for many years, and all he needs is to cross the border, so it is reasonable to be on par with ballet...

      Although the plot and structure are not very good, it should be one of the few ballet-themed animations, and I still need to give one more star for the topic selection. I especially like the slightly exaggerated ballet movements in the film, especially when the little girl is still dancing wildly on the roof of an orphanage in the French countryside. It is also a pity that the English name of the original film is Leap, which means jumping high and...

    Evaluation action

    The anachronistic pop songs in the film are paired with classic dances. In fact, the effect is quite good, and it can also help attract the attention of children. (Reviewed by the Chicago Sun-Times)
    "Ballerina" has too many random things, all kinds of jumps, that can't form a whole. ("Los Angeles Times" review)
    The film is full of half-formed ideas, too many meaningless pursuit of dreams. (Review of "Entertainment...)
