About this movie

11-year-old orphan, Félicie (Elle Fanning) has one dream – to go to Paris and become a dancer. Her best friend Victor (Nat Wolff) an imaginative, but exhausting 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 (Maddie Ziegler). Determined to succeed, Félicie finds her mentor in the tough and mysterious school custodian, Odette (Carly Rae Jepsen) who, along with Victor’s encouraging friendship, help her reach for the stars.

Ratings and reviews

I couldn't help but be reminded of the classic film "The Karate Kid," especially during her training montage. It's a cute film and inoffensive for the most part, though some parents will object to the deception Felicie undertakes to gain her position. A few toilet humor type jokes are also included. Fun music, a cute plot, and a "follow your dreams" message make this an enjoyable, but forgettable film.

I loved this movie from the minute it started. They may of had a little flaws but overall did an amazing job, the actor and actresses are great at playing their parts. Although I think that the thing that kinda messed up the movie was (spoiler alert ) when the mother came at Felicia with a hammer, that made it a little unbelievable. But the rest was amazing! I couldn't decide whether the lesson was cheat and steal to get what you want, or if it was follow your dreams? But I still JUST LOVE THE MOVIE!!

I hate animated movies. Animation seriously, this could have been filmed. Turn off your computers movie makers and start filming. While you're at it, make this movie more mature without any R or NC-17 ratings in the future. I am not saying this is rated R or NC-17 though people, it's PG as it should be. Clean and cute though. This movie is so immature and boring.
