The pacing feels a bit whimsical, capturing that childlike wonder, but it also lingers on moments, allowing the viewer to soak in the details. While the director might be unknown, the performances from the cast lend a certain charm, making each character feel distinct. There's a mix of practical effects that enhance the storytelling without overshadowing it, giving a tactile quality to the fantasy elements. You can sense the passion behind the production, even with its more modern cinematic style; it feels like a love letter to the original ballet while carving its own path.
