Comments about PBS Tales of Beatrix Potter Starring the Royal Ballet DVD:

My two- and three-year-old granddaughters were rapt: fine "storytelling" was on offer, though not a word was spoken. It was dance and drama all the way. Gorgeous shots of English countryside faded into sets that appeared to be part of the landscape. Altogether very clever staging . You could almost forget that dancers from the Royal Ballet were Jeremy Fisher and Peter Rabbit -- but then there were those ballet shoes peeping out! Really a tour de force. No Photoshop shenanigans and other production tricks: this film was made "back in the day"(late '70's?) and has a grand yeoman-like earnestness and sweetness to it.
