I'll say it loud and proud: I love Angelina Ballerina. Always have, always will. I own some of the books and two videos, each with four episodes. So today I'll be reviewing both the episodes I own and the show as a whole. As a whole, as mentioned I find it immensely enjoyable and I think kids will enjoy it as well, especially dancers (which I have been for pretty much my whole life). Angelina In The Wings: A visiting professional dancer favours Henry over Angelina and chooses him to be a sunbeam in her new dance and Angelina to be his understudy. Treasure Tandems: Angelina and Alice are in a biking race against the Pinkpaw twins and at first it seems like they're neck and neck for first prize. But the trophy and a new tandem end up going to William and Henry, who are riding together. Two Mice In A Boat: This episode is kind of similar to the previous one except that this time Angelina and Sammy are paired together for a boat race and have to learn to cooperate. The Cheese Ball Cup: After being teased by some other boys for taking ballet, William decides to quit and instead take up cheeseball. He later discovers that he isn't very good at cheeseball and after a rather disastrous game, William decides to return to ballet. Rose Fairy Princess: Angelina is chosen to star as the Rose Fairy Princess and to fly across the stage but worries that the single wire supporting her will break. Eventually, she conjures up the courage to soar. The Ballet Tickets: Angelina and Alice go to buy tickets for a live performance but the Pinkpaws buy the last two tickets. After several failed attempts to sneak into the ballet, Angelina's father reveals that he managed to get a hold of tickets for her and Alice. Angelina At The Fair: Angelina is forced to bring Henry along when she goes to the fair with Alice and William. However, Angelina, Alice, and William are looking forward to things like the Ferris wheel, roller coaster, and haunted mansion, while Henry only wants a balloon and to go on the carousel. Midnight Muddle: Angelina and Alice are backyard camping amid ghost rumours and local grouch Mrs Hodgepodge's attempts to growing a giant cauliflower.
