"Timeless and classic!"

Written By: C Clark

Growing up being a ballet student,The Tales of Beatrix Potter with the Royal Ballet was my absolute favorite. Buying this film many years later I was thrilled to see it again.Great story telling to wonderful music and dance will never get out of date, and I hope many people will continue introducing this DVD to the children of today.
The dancers and the choreography is so great, with humor and drama, overall just excellent! The link below is another fairytale dance DVD that I recommend if you are looking to inspire your children to dance.

"To Cute and Great Music"

Written By: J. D. Crites

How enjoyable to sit with the grand kids and watch this ballet . The kids had already been reading Beatrix Potter and having this just made it come alive for them. My grand kids are from 11 to 3 and they all enjoyed it.The Tales of Beatrix Potter (with Dancers of The Royal Ballet)

"Great Movie and Music"

Written By: D. A. Cobb

Good to see Tales of Beatrix Potter is being brought back. This movie, with its 'masks' and John Lanchberry's rollicking music, is too good to be shut away. The freshness of Beatrix Potter's illustrations and the character personifications make this a glorious movie for all ages.

The editions my parents read to me, we have read to our children, also.
Keep the wonder alive; include it in your DVD collections.

"Delightful!!"

This particular broadcast was often shown in December every year in Sweden, where I lived as a child, so I have fond memories of viewing this stunning ballet at Christmas time. This was recorded in the early 70s so couldn't believe my eyes that it was now available on DVD. The costumes are SO incredibly lifelike, and the pastoral English countryside settings seem so quaint, when played against the beautiful music and dainty choreography. There is also quite a lot of humor woven into the sequences. One of my favorite scenes involves two mice that inevitably grow frustrated and end up trashing a girl's dollhouse, when they realize that all the food is inedible and made of plaster. I think any child that loves Beatrix Potter stories, ballet, animals, or all of the above, would find great amusement in this lovely film.
