Davis P I expected this movie not to be good, but I wasn't expecting to hate it this much. Leap follows the story of a girl who runs away from an orphanage with her friend and wants to become a ballerina. Pretty predictable, by the numbers poor girl chasing her dreams story. It is so painfully clear that no one gave a crap about this movie, it just screams cheap and lazy. The characters are wooden and boring, and the story is so dull that you just don't care about it. There are great animated movies out there, just look at The Incredibles or Nemo or Cars, and those movies are great because yes they're fun and entertaining, but they also invested in development and characters. This movie just doesn't care about investing in the things that make a movie great. It's very clear what this movie is, it's a poorly thrown together mess that was dumped into theaters to try to make some money. 1/10.

dothraqi Well this film has everything that you want an animated film in this genre to have. It seemed perfect to me, the music the dancing, the energy, the passion, the story and every other thing. If you ask me I had say I loved it and it was worth every second, this one is a must watch! 10/10.

ShibanPD I loved this movie, in spite of (or, perhaps, because of) its anachronistic soundtrack, overreliance on action sequences and contemporary themes ("it's a dance-off!"), and misplaced dialogue ("it's Hammer Time!"). The movie is visually and thematically beautiful. It's all heart, and that sentiment matches one of its clichéd, but always compelling core themes--that heart is key, especially in art. I don't know anything about ballet (I've only ever seen "The Nutcracker" live, which I've always enjoyed)--but, with a seven-year-old daughter and a three-year old son, I've seen tons of animated films lately, and this one is up there with the best of them. It really gets the essence of childhood right: the wonder, the danger, the innocence, the yearning, the awkwardness, the excitement. It also strikes a nice balance between art as competition and art for its own sake (whereas, films like "Whiplash" succeed by embracing an extreme). Set in an adventurous place and time--late nineteenth century Paris, when the Eiffel Tower and Statue of Liberty were being constructed--"Leap!" is funny and touching, upbeat and offbeat, and makes you want to go for broke and follow a dream, another of its core themes that smartly emanates from young, wide-eyed central characters who have nothing to lose. The end finds love and heart triumphant, and leaves you feeling that all is right with the world.

ElliesWonder A cliché and corny plot collection story that a messing around girl ends up to be a winner. What a terrible leading character! She is a runaway troublemaker, a false identity user, a liar and a thief. She stole the letter from her employer and used others recommendation letter to replace her identity. These are the serious crime. Besides, she is bad mannered, no appreciation to the cleaning lady who taught her dancing skills, and blindly proud of her strength, turned out she failed the audition. No idea why this kind of character will success at the end. This is a bad influence to watch. 2 terrible issues in real life 1)teenage runaway, 2)false id use.
