I'm not very good at keeping up with new movie releases, so when I had the chance to review Leap!, I had never heard of it before.
The movie is another take on the "reaching your dreams" story, in a new context. Félicie is an 11-year-old orphan who wants nothing more than to go to Paris and be a real dancer. Victor, her best friend, wants to become a famous inventor. The two sneak out of their orphanage to try to get closer to their dreams. Progress towards their goals involves dishonesty (and its consequences), an unlikely mentor, mean-spirited classmates, and friendship.
It's a charming, family-friendly story. There is some mild mean-spirited humor and a little bit of a girlfriend-boyfriend relationship, but nothing I wouldn't let my kids watch. Although Félicie is dishonest, she has to face the results when she's found out. And the story has a happy ending that kids will enjoy.
Celebrate the holiday season with the inspirational and uplifting family film Leap!, arriving on Digital HD November 7 and Blu-ray™ (plus DVD and Digital HD), DVD, and On Demand November 21 from Lionsgate. Featuring all-star voice talent led by Elle Fanning (Maleficent), alongside Nat Wolff (The Fault in Our Stars) and Maddie Ziegler (The Book of Henry), with Mel Brooks(Spaceballs), featuring Carly Rae Jepsen (singer-songwriter of the hit song “Call Me Maybe”) and Kate McKinnon (“Saturday Night Live”), Leap! is a colorful and imaginative story about an orphan girl who is determined to follow her dream of becoming a ballerina. Filled with irresistible original music, Leap! features the hit track “Cut to the Feeling.”
The Leap! home entertainment release includes a behind-the-scenes video gallery and a look at stars Kate McKinnon, Nat Wolff, and Maddie Ziegler in the recording booth. Leap! will be available on Blu-ray (plus DVD and Digital HD) and DVD for the suggested retail price of $39.99 and $29.95, respectively.
