Read the whole review at www.reviewsfromabed. What Leap! has in its back pocket is that none of these obvious or typically telling factors corrupt the ever-glowing optimism that it holds and delivers through to its predictable, but appropriately cheery conclusion. The groundwork is laid early for what the viewer can expect as far as narrative goes as well as for how Summer and Warinwhich will handle the craft of this type of storytelling that relies on such unsurprising, but well-intentioned clichés. All of this endears us to the two of them immediately as not only are they orphaned and living in the midst of the late-1880's, but despite as much they have hopes and dreams and are bound to find a way out of their situation no matter how difficult Luteau (Mel Brooks), the groundskeeper at the orphanage, fights to keep them in line. Felicie (Elle Fanning) with her dancing and Victor (Dane DeHaan) who is an inventor with an affinity for devices that might help us to one day fly.

This never becomes an issue though, as the film sets its audience up to accept this then revels in the setting allowing it to influence the different approaches the movie is able to illustrate in regards to our two protagonists key passions. An orphan girl dreams of becoming a ballerina and flees her rural Brittany for Paris, where she passes for someone else and accedes to the position of pupil. The film earns some credibility and points for uniqueness by taking the chance of placing itself in a period setting for no other reason than writer/directors Éric Summer and Éric Warinwhich wanted to which would seem to inherently be a reason for youngsters to disengage, but alas the movie chugs along not missing a beat despite the fact parents who have seen any movie ever will be able to guess the beats Leap! will seemingly follow. That is essentially what Leap! comes to be as it sells the underdog story of a young girl who overcomes obstacles such as being an orphan in order to accomplish her dreams of becoming a ballet dancer. Rather, Leap! is a sincere attempt to re-visit and reiterate age old lessons to the younger generations that continue to be born and require reassurance that they too can accomplish their dreams with hard work and dedication. That said, there is nothing particularly offensive about it either.
that was originally titled Ballerina when it premiered in France and the United Kingdom last winter. With Simon Merrells, Alix Wilton Regan, Katie Gunby, Jon Campling. Coyote nondamaging sort also punctuates the film.There is nothing particularly memorable about Leap! an animated film being released by The Weinstein Co. The Leap: Directed by Karel van Bellingen. (Also, there might be a nose fetishist among the animators, as there is great variety and detail devoted to every character’s proboscis.) Occasional violence of the Wile E. The realistic movement rendered by Montreal animation house L’Atelier Animation is often quite lovely, although that illusion is counteracted by the characters’ especially large heads. Comedy veteran Mel Brooks and comedy “It Girl” Kate McKinnon also perform voice duties. (Jean shorts in 1880s Paris, the Statue of Liberty still under construction, a motorcycle among the horse and buggies, a performance of The Nutcracker even though it wasn’t yet composed?!) Elle Fanning and Nat Wolff give dimension to their characters, while pop star Carly Rae Jepsen as the hobbled former ballerina-turned-cleaning woman lends a sad warmth to Odette, and Maddie Ziegler (the dancer in Sia’s “Chandelier” video) adds just the right amount of bratty chill to Camille, Félicie’s primary competitor. The well-chosen voice cast helps make this a fairly engaging tale, even though the film is riddled with a wealth of head-scratching anachronistic errors.
The exclamation point after the title is meant, I suppose, to drive the point home. The fulfillment of a dream begins with a leap of faith, advises this film. The adolescent escapes her Brittany orphanage with her best friend Victor (Wolff), who wants to become an inventor, and the two head for Paris to pursue their dreams.
This film’s central character Félicie (Fanning) is an orphan who wants to become a ballerina. Instead of the go-to princess protagonist adopted by most animated movies targeted at young female viewers, Leap! takes a different route.
