"We three Fossils vow to put our name in the history books, because it is ours, and ours alone, and nobody can say it's because of our grandfathers"
With these words, three orphans embark on an exhilarating journey through the world of show business.
Set in 1930s London, Ballet Shoes tells the inspiring tale of Pauline (Emma Watson), Petrova (Yasmin Paige) and Posy Fossil (Lucy Boynton), who are adopted by an eccentric explorer, "Gum" (Richard Griffiths), and raised as sisters by his selfless niece (Emilia Fox) and her nurse (Victoria Wood). Each of the girls has a dream to fulfil; Pauline longs to be an actress, Petrova yearns to be an aviator, and Posy seems born to be a ballerina.
But when "Gum" disappears, the money runs out. The feisty, ambitious and devoted Fossils find they must fight to survive...

A lovely story which captures the viewer until the end. It wasnt something I set out to watch but I was hooked by the first 5 mins. It is definately one to watch over and over again.
Great but not like the book....

A great film with an excellent cast, but I was disappointed that they changed the storyline from the original book.

I very much enjoyed this and thought it was a great peice of drama for Boxing Day, light hearted and very entertaining. I thought it was good to see Emma Watson in a very different production to Harry Potter, although I was a little disappointed with her as I thought her acting in this was not that much different to her acting as Hermione. Yasmin Paige, I thought, was absolutely brilliant, a complete natural and the same goes for Lucy Boynton.
Brilliant performances also from Marc Warren, Emilia Fox and Victoria Wood.
