I really like this DVD. I have it on VHS. In Ballerina Rag Doll, Angelina mistakenly gives away her rag doll that her grampa had given her. In Angelina's Surprise, Priscilla and Penelope Pinkpaws get a new baby brother. Angelina gets very jealous and mistakenly tells a lie. In Artur the Butterfly, Angelina finds an injured butterfly and looks after it. When Arthur feels better, Angelina refuses to let him go. When Angelina searches for Artur, she and Henry get trapped in a big hole. In Alice's Present, Alice gives Angelina a homemade gym bag. When Angelina leaves her gym bag outside her front door, the Pinkpaws twins take the bag, which causes a big fight between Angelina and Alice. Alice vows not to do ballet. Angelina vows not to do gymnastics. When Angelina gets her bag back, she and Alice get back together. I love happy endings. At first, I didn't like it because it has my least favorite episode in it. But now, I like the DVD.

Another Rip Off 3 out of 5 stars.
52 of 52 people found this review helpful.
With four Angelina videos I was eager for more to be released. When this came out I though my wait was over. But when I received my order I realized what had happened. This video contains two stories (not four like the others) and both are in earlier collections.
First is The Ballet Tickets from ROSE FAIRY PRINCESS. Angelina will do anything to see her ballet heroes perform. If only she had tickets to the performance.
Second is Two Mice in a Boat from ANGELINA IN THE WINGS. Here Angelina must learn how to cooperate with the tough guy Sammy as they are teamed together in the annual boat decoration competition.
These are good stories but if you have ROSE FAIRY PRINCESS and ANGELINA IN THE WINGS, you will already have these stories.
Angelina Ballerina - Meet Angelina Ballerina 5 out of 5 stars.

If you like the books, you might want to avoid the cartoons 2 out of 5 stars.
9 of 10 people found this review helpful.
Our daughter loves the "Angelina Ballerina" books by Katherine Holbird and Helen Craig, and when we decided to start letting her watch TV, this was one of the first titles I thought would be good for her to watch... Unfortunately, the cartoons are *very* different from the books, in an entirely negative way.
Most alarming of all is how whiny, self-centered and deceitful Angelina is -- almost every episode involves her telling a fib and then having to make up for it. This is horrible role modeling for younger children, particularly since she KEEPS LYING from episode to episode -- there's no character growth, just Angelina being dishonest over and over again, until she gets caught or her conscience catches up with her. I'm also not fond of the ultra-competitiveness shown between Angelina and the other characters. In the books, Angelina always gets the lead role, but she is considerate of others, and shares the spotlight genrously. By contrast, these cartoons show a never-ending series of backstabbing and manipulation... The supporting characters, including Angelina's friends, are made more flawed and unlikable than they are in the books. Alice, for example, is transformed from a perfectly nice little girl into a clumsy, fat, self-pitying hanger-on who is embarassed and envious of Angelina's success. The Pinkpaw twins are new characters who seem to have been invented just to be bad guys -- they try to undercut Angelina at every turn -- and Angelina herself is far less likeable here than in the original books. Frankly, I'm amazed that the book's author, Ms. Holabird, allowed such terrible, distorted versions of her stories to be produced.
The books are magical, but the TV shows left a bad taste in our mouths. They are not on our "safe to watch" list anymore. Parents who were charmed by the books might want to preview these cartoons first, before letting your kid soak them up... It would be a shame to let them ruin the books for your mouse-loving little ones.

The whole family loves Angelina 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.
Four stories from the PBS television series. In each tale Angelina faces difficult challenges. The stories are:The Lucky Penny - Angelina may not get the part she wants until she finds a lucky penny. But can a penny really help or is practice the answer?
The Legend of Big Paw - Angelina, Henry, her father and grandfather go camping and must face the scary tale of a giant cat and a lost war medal.
Angelina and Anya - Angelina learns that is not good to prejudge people.
The Gymnastics Competition - Alice has a chance to be in a major gymnastics competition. But she will have to overcome her fear of the balance beam is she is to have a chance of winning.
Two segments of Little Stars (live footage of children practicing ballet) show the importance of practice.
We love the stories, the music and the voice characterizations. A fun video for young girls, and some boys, with lessons for everyone.
Editorial Review:
Based on the Angelina books (written by Katharine Holabird with illustrations by Helen Craig), these four episodes tout the power of practice, common sense, an open mind, and perseverance. In "The Lucky Penny," Angelina decides there's no need to practice for an important audition after finding a lucky penny--unfortunately, she loses the penny the night before the big audition. Angelina and Henry get lost looking for Grandpa's lost war medal and fear the attack of a mythical cat in "The Legend of Big Paw," and Angelina learns the folly of prejudging a fellow mouse in "Angelina and Anya." Finally, Alice must overcome her fear of the balance beam to win an important gymnastics competition in "The Gymnastics Championship." Two "Little Stars" segments stress the importance of practice and feature real-life girls and boys studying ballet and folk dancing. (Ages 3 to 7) --Tami Horiuchi

sweet, quiet video 5 out of 5 stars.
13 of 13 people found this review helpful.
My 3- and 2-yr-old absolutely LOVE Angelina Ballerina, so I wanted to get a few of her DVDs since it doesn't come on PBS very often. They adore this video, and they'll sit and watch it over and over--although I try to limit that b/c it only has four episodes on it, and I don't want them to get tired of it. It's also not over-stimulating, so it's a great way to wind down before naps or bed.
I think other reviewers have complained about having to watch commercials to get to the episodes, but I just hit the skip forward button on my DVD player, and it passes right over them--even the FBI warnings, which is very unusual.
No complaints here! And it's a great way to start talking about social interactions and siblings. The episode about Angelina's new baby sister is a special favorite, especially since we have two sisters very close in age. I think it never occurred to them that it was OK to be frustrated with having a sister before!

Fun Holiday/Ballet Story for Kids 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.
It's Christmastime in Mouseland, and everyone's favorite little ballerina, Angelina, is auditioning for the role of Cinderella in the ballet Cinderella Mouse and the Ugly Whiskers. Angelina is absolutely positive that she will get the coveted role, as she is the best dancer, but when horrible Priscilla Pinkpaws is chosen to play Cinderella, thanks to Angelina's fear of singing in public, and Angelina gets the less-important role of the Wicked Stepmouse, and storms off in a fit of temper, much to Miss Lily's disapproval. But when a toboggan race between Angelina and Priscilla turns bad, she realizes that thanks to her bad additude, the show will be cancelled, and knows that it's her who has to save the day, because, as we all know, the show must go on!Fans of the ANGELINA BALLERINA book series, written by Katharine Holabird, and illustrated by Helen Craig, will relish in the screen version of the world's favorite little ballerina. Angelina is a fun, spunky character, and her friends, including Alice, and her little cousin, Henry, make the movie much better. While THE SHOW MUST GO ON is a fun holiday/ballet movie for children of all ages, it also teaches a lesson: you don't always get what you want, but you need to make the best of it. Parents will love the great message that THE SHOW MUST GO ON delivers, and children will love the animation, and storyline. A must-have this holiday season.

Editorial Review:
Angelina is a promising young ballerina with a sensitive ego and an unruly temper. It's not surprising, then, that Angelina's excitement over the upcoming Christmas dance production of Cinderella Mouse and the Ugly Whiskers quickly turns to fury when visiting composer and musical director Mr. Operatski casts Priscilla in the starring role of Cinderella, leaving Angelina to dance the role of Wicked Stepmouse. Taking Miss Lilly's advice, Angelina tries to "think horrid," but ends up acting so selfishly that Mr. Operatski dismisses Angelina all together and re-casts Miss Lilly as the Wicked Stepmouse. When Angelina unwittingly injures Miss Lilly, the entire performance is threatened. Can Angelina's newfound humility and good intentions save the production? (Ages 3-8) --Tami Horiuchi

Angelina Ballerina is great! 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.
I really like Angelina Ballerina. My dream is to become a prima ballerina, just likeAngelina. In Angelina and Grandma, Angelina was really excited about wearing a tutu worn by Miss Lilly when she was young. And she accidently rips it. Grandma blames Angelina for leaving the birthday cake out in the rain by mistake. In William the Conjoror, William thinks he's really made Angelina disappear. Henry was sad that he'd never see his cousin again. In Miss Lilly Comes to Dinner, Angelina tried very hard to make her dinner like the Moussky Restraunt. But things got from bad to worse when Angelina tried to impress Miss Lilly. But Miss Lilly thinks Angelina's spoiled nothing. In Angelina's Valentine, Angelina thinks her Valentine gifts are from Sammy. Sammy tried to trick William into making him give her the gifts and take her yo-yo. William has a crush on Angelina, but Angelina doesn't know. Sammy thinks he's the Romeo of Mouseland because he knows William has a major crush on her.
