The team’s opinion
This “first ballet” is a gentle entry into the choreographic art: the narration is clear, the luminous aesthetics amaze and the soundtrack supports the emotion without heaviness.
Children follow the story effortlessly, adults enjoy the art direction and the quality of the paintings. We leave with stars in our eyes and the desire to go back.
