Admirable film.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

If you're a parent, and you believe in your children's dreams and potentials, you will love this movie!
In my review, I just want to extend my gratitude to the creators of LEAP. It's a breath of fresh air to see a film that encourages kids to dream and dream big. This world will try to steal your dreams, we need more movies like this to encourage children (and adults) to continue to follow their dreams."Look at things not as they are, but as they can be. Visualization adds value to everything. A big thinker always visualizes what can be done in the future. He isn't stuck with the present."
"Those who believe they can move mountains,do.Those who believe they can't,cannot."

A beautiful movie altogether. The characters and the city of Paris look fantastic. The story is somewhat predictable, yes, but that does not take away from the charm of the film.
I was also very surprised by how accurately the scene in which Felicie's eyes tear up was animated. Not tears falling down the cheeks but the actual redness of the eyes as they fill up with tears is moving.
Another great thing about the movie is it is clearly and completely Felicie's story. There are many side characters but they compliment to the story of Felicie. It would have been a bad decision to add a side story for Viktor or anybody else. Now the focus is on the main character all the time - a brave and excellent decision.
On the negatives, the outside action scene at the end is pointless and a bit embarrassing (gladly it's a short one) and the casting of the voices of Felicie and Viktor is not great. I actually preferred the version that was dubbed into my own language.
But aside from that, I enjoyed the movie and wanted to spend more time with the characters.

So the main girl, Falicie, is 11 and she starts wanting to date some guy who seems like he's older than her by a lot! And I sent some videos of the ballerinas dancing's to my friend who is a ballerina and she says the steps were not correct and not even close to the real thing. This movie was laughable because of how awful it was. It showed a message of lying and cheating is ok and that you'll still achieve your dreams even if you're doing something bad to get it. It also shows that it's ok to ignore and not care about your friends. Felicie ignores Viktor literally every time he talks to her, but he still tries to be friends with her. It's kind of a toxic relationship. This movie was just. Awful. Plus the voice actin was bad. I would give it 0 stars if I could

Watch the first ten minutes and tell me this isn't a rip off of Anastasia! Red headed orphan girl with male orphan friend escapes off to Paris and all she has is a music box from her mother....?
Obviously the story then transitions into one about dance and following your dreams (wonderful idea and one I had so much hope for), but the horribly matched voice acting, the teeny bopper music in place of classical ballet music... so many simple things that could've made this movie so much better.
