He dismisses the worst dancer in class each day.

Félicie finds her training very difficult, but with Camille's letter of acceptance, she manages to take her place at the ballet school. Odette agrees to mentor Félicie, who later learns that Odette was a former prima ballerina. As Félicie takes it to Victor for repair, she intercepts the postman who brings a letter from the Opera admitting Camille to the celebrated school of the Paris Opera Ballet in her anger, she hides the letter and decides to assume Camille's identity to get into the school and pursue her dream, while also getting back at Camille. Camille sees Félicie, insults her, and throws Félicie's treasured music box out of the window, breaking it. While helping Odette clean, Félicie spies Regine's daughter, Camille ( Maddie Ziegler), practicing ballet. Odette works for both the Opera and for the cruel and imperious Régine Le Haut ( Julie Khaner), a wealthy restaurant owner. She is rescued by a mysterious cleaner with a limp, Odette ( Carly Rae Jepsen), who agrees to let Félicie stay with her until she gets on her feet. Félicie finds her way to the Paris Opera, where the guard catches her trespassing. Together they go to beautiful Paris, but they soon become separated, and Victor becomes an office boy in Gustave Eiffel's workshop. Read the whole review at the 1880s, eleven-year-old Félicie ( Elle Fanning), a poor orphan girl who dreams of becoming a ballerina, but lacks formal training, runs away from her orphanage in rural Brittany with her best friend, Victor ( Dane DeHaan), a young inventor. What Leap! has in its back pocket is that none of these obvious or typically telling factors corrupt the ever-glowing optimism that it holds and delivers through to its predictable, but appropriately cheery conclusion. The groundwork is laid early for what the viewer can expect as far as narrative goes as well as for how Summer and Warinwhich will handle the craft of this type of storytelling that relies on such unsurprising, but well-intentioned clichés. All of this endears us to the two of them immediately as not only are they orphaned and living in the midst of the late-1880's, but despite as much they have hopes and dreams and are bound to find a way out of their situation no matter how difficult Luteau (Mel Brooks), the groundskeeper at the orphanage, fights to keep them in line. Felicie (Elle Fanning) with her dancing and Victor (Dane DeHaan) who is an inventor with an affinity for devices that might help us to one day fly.

This never becomes an issue though, as the film sets its audience up to accept this then revels in the setting allowing it to influence the different approaches the movie is able to illustrate in regards to our two protagonists key passions. The film earns some credibility and points for uniqueness by taking the chance of placing itself in a period setting for no other reason than writer/directors Éric Summer and Éric Warinwhich wanted to which would seem to inherently be a reason for youngsters to disengage, but alas the movie chugs along not missing a beat despite the fact parents who have seen any movie ever will be able to guess the beats Leap! will seemingly follow. That is essentially what Leap! comes to be as it sells the underdog story of a young girl who overcomes obstacles such as being an orphan in order to accomplish her dreams of becoming a ballet dancer. Rather, Leap! is a sincere attempt to re-visit and reiterate age old lessons to the younger generations that continue to be born and require reassurance that they too can accomplish their dreams with hard work and dedication. That said, there is nothing particularly offensive about it either.
that was originally titled Ballerina when it premiered in France and the United Kingdom last winter.
There is nothing particularly memorable about Leap! an animated film being released by The Weinstein Co.
