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).
