And now off to Paris!
Eleven-year-old orphan Félicie (Fanning) has one dream — to go to Paris and become a dancer. Her best friend, Victor (Wolff), an imaginative, exuberant boy with a passion for creating, has a dream of his own — to become a famous inventor. In a leap of faith, Victor and Félicie leave their orphanage in pursuit of their passions. But there’s a catch: Félicie must pretend to be the child of a wealthy family in order to gain admittance to the prestigious and competitive Opera Ballet School in Paris. And with no professional dance training, she quickly learns that talent alone is not enough to overcome the ruthless, conniving attitudes of her fellow classmates, led by the devious Camille Le Haut (Ziegler). Determined to succeed, Félicie finds her mentor in the tough and mysterious school custodian, Odette (Jepsen), who, along with Victor’s encouraging friendship, help her reach for the stars.

Review:
We actually saw this movie at the theatre right before it left and Miss Grace was excited to see it, and even more so when the DVD arrived! I thinks girls who are dancers will be the more entranced with it, as they understand the hard work needed to gain a special position within a company, and how you might not like another dancer, but you can respect her artistry. Then there are the ones who are bratty and have the eternal 'dance mom', even back in early Paris they had them apparently! LOL. It;s a fun movie and Miss Grace enjoyed the behind the scenes specials almost as much. if you;re looking for a positive movie for younger kids and tweens, this would be a great family night movie!
