There's plenty of visual whimsy in the late-19th-century setting - the animators render a gorgeous Paris - while enthusiastic dance sequences and comic beats balance out melodrama.
At one point, Félicie's ballet teacher tells her that she has "the energy of a bullet" but no technique or focus; the same is true of Ballerina itself.
Even if it never quite takes the risks implied by its exclamatory title ... "Leap!" follows the established steps with general grace and good humor.
Cheesy Euro ballerina-porn cartoon is full of dated animation, cringeworthy attempts at humor, bizarre anachronisms, and a terrible message for little kids.
The ballet sequences remain curiously earthbound in an animated film untethered from physical reality that can't compete with the dazzling, gravity-defying dance-offs of live-action fare like the Step Up movies.
Even though it seeks to fit in trying to look like an American animation, its scent of illustrated European children's story is perceived. [Full review in Spanish]
