Summary: DVD content just dumped in a single track :-(
Review: DVD buyers should note that they seem to have just dumped the content into a single "title" without a menu or even "chapter" marks to let you access the different stories. If your player allows direct time access, you can skip to 4:43 to bypass the numerous ads for other HITEntertainment properties...P>The video quality is fine; the audio is not great, but I've heard worse. It's probably as good as ever was made. And my daughter loves it as much as the other reviewers' did, so that's what counts, despite my annoyance with the slap-dash formatting for DVD.

Review: Four stories from the PBS television series. In each tale Angelina faces difficult challenges. First Angelina get the lead in the new ballet but must overcome her fear of flying "on a single wire" if she is to keep the part. Next Angelina must face the responsibilities of taking care of her younger cousin when they all go to the fair. Then Angelina and Alice face disappointment when, despite all of their efforts, they are unable to get tickets to a great ballet (or do they?). Finally Angelina faces guilt when troublesome Sammy is blamed for an accident of Angelina's. We love the stories, the music and the voice characterizations. A fun video for young girls, and some boys, with lessons for everyone.

Summary: My soon to be three year old daughter's favorite video.
Review: I purchased this video because my daughter loves ballerina's and mice (Maisy is another favorite of hers). She has watched this video non stop for three weeks straight. It has gotten to the point that she is repeating whole lines of dialogue with a British accent. Between Kipper and Angelina I'm afraid my daughter is going to want to move to England. My daughter Kaylie falls asleep to this video and she asks for her mice first thing when she wakes up in the morning. I keep waiting for her to get sick of it but it hasn't happened yet. I know I've had enough of it. I had to buy the other video in this series to keep from going insane. This video teaches life lessons such as how to get along with others and how to conquer your fears. After viewing it I thought it was a little mature for a three year old but my daughter seems to follow the stories just fine. I am going to purchase some of the Angelina books in an effort to wean Kaylie from the video. Any video that holds my daughter's attention long enough for me to get some house cleaning down or a bit of peace and quiet is great in my book. Thank heavens for Angelina.

Summary: A charming video for ballerinas of all ages!
Review: If your child is a fan of Katherine Holabird's Angelina Ballerina books, then this video of four Angelina vignettes will be right up her alley! The animation is very crisp and in places, seems three dimensional, while the voices provided in part by Dame Judi Dench (Miss Lilli) and her daughter Finty Williams (Angelina) are exactly as I have imagined them sounding. Each of the four vignettes has a little lesson to be learned in the end...in the first, Angelina learns that she must overcome her fear of falling so that the show can go on. The second, which is based on one of my daughter's favorite books, Angelina at the Fair, shows Angelina learning that she must think of others' feelings even when she really wants to be selfish. In the third, a famous ballet comes to town and Angelina can't get tickets. She's upset until a surprise comes through at the end. In the last one, Angelina must muster up the courage to confess to an accident that has been blamed on her friend. I highly recommend this pretty video to anyone who's little girl likes Angelina or even just loves ballet.

Summary: infuriating forced commercials
Review: The incompetent DVD developers really screwed this one up bad. While the feature is just fine, it contains just one track and NO chapters - this means that you are forced to watch nearly 5 minutes of commercials every time you pop in the DVD. Accidentally hit the back button on the remote? Whoops, now you have to watch them all over again. If I wanted this complete lack of control, I'd keep buying VHS tapes.
