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" x 14" mini-poster. Additionally, the film is presented with optional SDH English Subtitles (for the deaf and hard of hearing).

Oh I want to see this, if Emma Watson is in it, you know it's going to be good. She only takes roles that are going to be great movies, which is one of the reasons why she's a great actress compared to all the other teenage actors these days.
It was a made for tv film for the Holidays...it wasn't supposed to be released in the theaters...but Ballet Shoes turned out so good that it actually was released in a certain number of theaters around the world and then it was released on dvd...it was not straight to video by any means.
She's a great actress and she just keeps getting better. I can't wait to see what she does in the future because I know it will be brilliant...She's so sophisticated and intelligent compared to the other celebrities in her generation...there needs to be more young people just like her.
