Daughter loves it!
This is the second Angelina dvd we've bought for our daughter. She absolutely loves Angelina Ballerina and would watch it all day, everyday if we would let her. It has 4 stories(I think) on the dvd. They're all cute stories.
Annoying, weird story lines, and one "scary" part
We borrowed this DVD from the library and rushed to return it after one viewing. The DVD bothered us so much that I had to peek on Amazon to see what others thought of it. I was shocked to find everyone on here loving it with 5-star reviews!
My daughter (almost 3yrs) liked this DVD enough (except for the scary part, which I'll get back to), but I tend to form my opinions of DVDs based on how well the whole family, or at least one parent, can sit through it with the kid. My gripes are as follows:
