Ballet Shoes gets US DVD and Theatrical Release!
Continuously in print since first being published in 1936,
Streatfeild's novel – subtitled "A Story of Three Children on the
Stage" – has delighted generations of young girls with its
message that dreams really do come true.
Directed by Sandra Goldbacher (Me Without You, The Governess),
this "enchanting" adaptation, produced by
Granada for the BBC, also stars Eileen Atkins (Cold Comfort Farm,
Gosford Park), Richard Griffiths (The History Boys, Sleepy
Hollow),Gemma Jones (Sense and Sensibility, Harry Potter and the
Chamber of Secrets), Emilia Fox (The Pianist, Cashback), Victoria
Wood (Housewife 49, The Wind and the Willows) and Marc Warren
(Wanted, Land of the Blind).
"We three Fossils vow to put our name in the history book,
because it is ours, and ours alone..." With these words, three
orphans embark on an exhilarating journey that takes them to the
heights of the stage, screen and sky.
Pauline (Watson), Petrova (Yasmin Paige) and Posy Fossil (Lucy
Boynton) are adopted as infants by eccentric explorer Professor
Matthew Brown (Richard Griffiths), whom they affectionately call
Great Uncle Matthew (or "Gum" for short).
When "Gum" goes missing, his niece Sylvia (Emilia Fox) keeps the
family together by taking in lodgers and eventually enrolls the
girls in the Children's Academy of
Dancing and Stage Training. This suits the ambitious Pauline, who
longs to act, and Posy, a natural dancer, but Petrova, who yearns
to become an aviator, has her own dreams of soaring the skies.
The girls' lives in show business are filled with triumphs and
lessons learned until "Gum's" surprise return provides the
perfect happy ending for them all.
BALLET SHOES is recommended family entertainment by The Dove
Foundation, whose mission is to encourage and promote the
creation, production, distribution and consumption of wholesome
family entertainment.
Bonus features include an exclusive 20-minute interview with Emma
Watson, deleted scenes, an excerpt from the Ballet Shoes
audiobook (read by Elizabeth Sastre) and a limited-edition 9"x14"
mini-poster. Additionally, the film is presented with optional
SDH English Subtitles (for the deaf and hard of hearing).
