Description:

With a title like Rose Fairy Princess among its first releases, Angelina Ballerina, the PBS series centered on a single-minded mouseling, doesn't dance around the fact that it's strictly a girly-girl enterprise. But that's no strike against it; stereotypes aside, here's a cartoon as charming and accessible as the books by Katharine Holabird and Helen Craig from which it bloomed. In four episodes, our prim, pirouetting heroine gives stage jitters the heave-ho, begrudgingly baby-sits her young cousin at the fair, scores scarce tickets to see the legendary Whiskersevs dance, and stumbles off on a guilt trip when a local scamp gets the blame for an accident in the neighbor's garden. In addition to her grace, agility, and talent for tucking her tail into a tutu, Angelina boasts a big-name friend or two--Judy Dench gives voice to exotic, bejeweled ballet teacher Miss Lilly. For ages 3 to 8. --Tammy La Gorce
