Though at times it's a bit cheesy, it's a fun mashup of ballet and anime. Nothing terribly deep or life changing. Just magical storytelling that allows you to get lost for a while. Some wonderful characters too. Now, I'd love to see a mashup of Cirque du Soleil music and storytelling, and anime as a second season.
I first watched it New Year's Eve 2021 while visiting family, and liked it. It was cute.
It was late though, and I felt like some things were missed. I'm a sucker for details and animation. So I watched it again at home. Then again... and again... There was always something new in the background. A growing amazement at the dance sequences and the subtlety of expression and movement. Took a couple times to better know all the characters, being a fast paced movie. Then again, it always takes a couple times at least when meeting a new family.
Above all, the songs and their sequences have been stuck in my head for over a month now. They will not leave. The worst is when trying to sleep. Please make it stop!! Very few films have achieved that level of impact and annoyance for me. Ones that I want to keep watching again and again. This one took me by surprise big time.
It is brilliantly animated, casted, written, and torturously soundtracked with ear worms. It also needs a sequel. Mostly, it has stuck with me completely unexpectedly, which is a 10 in my book.

I remember watching the original on CN's Toonami after school. Found this version on Netflix recently, and was a little confused if it was a sequel or some reboot, as it's been some 20+ years. The biggest let down I have of it so far, is it needs the original song. The characters appear much older than described too (not uncommon with anime's though). There are a lot of story problems, but that's not really the intent of the show though. It's meant to be fun and uplifting, especially for young girls.
After all the madness and politics of recent years, a cheesy nostalgic series is extremely welcoming. Usually, I'm not a fan of updating animation/film, but this one seems like it benefits from the newer technology. The heart and substance is still there. Got me binge watching anyways, and in a happy place. It's new, but feels like childhood.
