    SUPERB!

    This film is just LOVELY. The characters are really brought to life by the ballet dancers in their animal costumes.

    The scenes shot in the lake district (Cumbria) show the true landscape that Beatrix Potter had in mind when writing the stories.

    This film is for anyone who has a love of B. Potter's work or that corner of the Lake District made famous by Beatrix Potter, Arthur Ransome, John Ruskin and all the others from that area.

    A total joy!

    This is a pure delight! The dancing is just great and the stories are choreographed perfectly. This is a real family treat - rent it and save yourself the cost of taking the kids to the ballet!

    What's up, doc? In honour of the holidays we're pulling on our bunny ears, nibbling on a carrot and taking the measure of our favourite movie rabbits (with a hare or two thrown in). First, a little history: Easter bunnies have been with us longer than you might think. The word "Easter" derives from "Eastre", a Saxon pagan goddess. Eastre, or Eostre, was the goddess of spring and fertility, and she was celebrated at the vernal equinox, and again on the first Sunday after the next full moon -... Read more
