Ballet Shoes

"We three Fossils vow to put our name in the history books, because it is ours, and ours alone, and nobody can say it's because of our grandfathers". With these words, three orphans embark on an exhilarating journey through the world of show business...

Set in 1930s London, Ballet Shoes tells the inspiring tale of Pauline (Emma Watson), Petrova (Yasmin Paige) and Posy Fossil (Lucy Boynton), who are adopted by an eccentric explorer named "Gum" (Richard Griffiths). Raised as sisters by his selfless niece (Emilia Fox) and her nurse (Victoria Wood), each of the girls has a dream to fulfill: Pauline longs to act, Petrova yearns to be an aviator, and Posy seems destined to become a ballerina. When Gum suddenly disappears, however, the girls are left with no money and it becomes a struggle just to make ends meet. Feisty, ambitious and devoted, the Fossils learn they must fight to survive.

  Just right for little girls.
  
  Very sweet. Watched with my 10 year old daughter who seemed to really enjoy it even though it is so far removed from everything she knows in this day and age.
