It's very noticeable that they refined the motion capture and the overall look (great hair, clothing fluidity), but it's such a shame that the story is actually pointless, and there is no clear lesson to learn. Is it about standing up for your opinions? Or is making a point that disobedience is okay?
I don't want to give too much away but the plot involves "Giselle" and "Swan Lake." And it's odd that they didn't RE-cast her as the lead in The Nutcracker as well (although the lead characters ARE present in this movie, sort of).
Dialogue is weak, and the storyline is just a mess. This movie might just be FOR KIDS after all. I had high hopes for it though, because Princess & The Popstar, Princess Charm School, and The Mermaid Tale series are actually way better.
BTW, saw it because I have a three-year old. She enjoyed watching the dance routines though.
