If your child needs new ballet shoes , it's tempting to buy them a little big to allow room for those growing feet. But ballet shoes we designed to fit the feet like a pair of gloves. Instead of risking injury with ballet shoes that are too big, follow these steps to help them last a little bit longer. (dance.about.com....-shoes.htm)

Ballet Shoes (based on the book of the same name) is set in 1930's London , and follows the inspirational story of three young girls raised as sisters , each with their own separate dreams to fulfil. I read Ballet Shoes , when I was younger and despite it being the complete opposite to what I normally would read, I found it to be a fantastic book. So I was eager to see this adaptation on dvd (after missing the first showing on TV.) Unfortunately I have to say that I've been left slightly (but not overly) disappointed (www.amazon.co.uk....33-1709533)
But don't despair, as it is still a excellent film, and still represents a inspired concept that keeps you interested and entertained, Ballet Shoes has been professionally done with correct period costumes and sets, so if you're a fan of the book or never even knew there was a book called Ballet Shoes , I doubt you'll be disappointed with the film. I did enjoy it and am glad I purchased it and I'm sure you will be too. (www.amazon.co.uk....33-1709533)

Set in 1930s London , Ballet Shoes tells the inspiring tale of Pauline (Emma Watson ), Petrova (Yasmin Paige) and Posy Fossil (Lucy Boynton), who are adopted by an eccentric explorer named "Gum" (Richard Griffiths). Raised as sisters by his selfless niece (Emilia Fox) and her nurse (Victoria Wood), each of the girls has a dream to fulfill: Pauline longs to act, Petrova yearns to be an aviator, and Posy seems destined to become a ballerina. When Gum suddenly disappears, however, the girls are left with no money and it becomes a struggle just to make ends meet. Feisty, ambitious and devoted, the Fossils learn they must fight to survive (www.amazon.co.uk....33-1709533)
I think the producers of this dramatisation frantically tried to pick up all the individual pieces of the book and tethered them together as best they could. Unfortunately, in doing so, much of the period magic has been lost along with a great deal of the detail, which would have explained better to the viewer the trials and tribulations experienced by the Fossil household and the necessity of working together as a family which pulled them through to win through in the end. I think that because this key point of the story really was missing , the plot took a direction which may have disappointed Ballet Shoes fans as the halfway point of the drama started picking up speed in a great rush towards the end and this haste came at a terrible cos (www.amazon.co.uk....33-1709533)
Also, dancing and the aesthetics of dance are given much less play in this adaptation relative to the book (and the first screen adaptation ). The focus has shifted more generally to the stage, since much of this movie is a vehicle for Emma Watson (who is not a dancer). The few dance sequences that are shown (mostly Posey by herself, and a very attractive Russian studio of ballerinas toward the end) look very good, but there is not a lot of dance in this version of Ballet Shoes (www.amazon.co.uk....33-1709533)
The running time of Ballet Shoes is a misable 83 minutes so naturally a lot from the book has been missed, but also changed unnecessarily. For the casting, I'm not sure about Emma Watson (aka Hermione Granger) playing the part of Pauline . Don't get me wrong she is stunningly attractive and an exceptionally good actress, fantastic in the Harry Potter films, it's just.she doesn't seem entirely right for the part and makes the character of Pauline seem a bit empty and shallow. But to tell you the truth I wasn't impressed with the performance from Emilia Fox or Victoria Wood either. Maybe my expectations were too high. The characters in the book were three-dimensional and likeable and I guess that I was expecting the same from the film. As another reviewer has already rightfully mentioned, there are no special features or extras on the dvd. One of the reasons I was eager for the dvd was to see the special features. I don't know what I was expecting to see.but something (www.amazon.co.uk....33-1709533)

It used to be that ballet flats were what they sounded like flat shoes that looked like ballet slippers - and in the strictest sense of the term, that definition is still correct.
