In this case, my experience of the ballet film excursion is better because the storyline is easily understandable even for a layperson, with a plot familiar to those who have read or heard fairy tales. Its clarity is ensured by the fact that the ballet was indeed intended for children as well. Particularly impressive is the passage where the brave tailor faces attacks from representatives of the underworld. The dance of the skeletons is striking even on a television screen, and in direct contact on stage, it would likely be even more impressive. However, the thirteen-year-old girls with their dolls seemed a bit too grown-up for carriages. Overall impression: 65%. ()
