Leap!

A colorful, family-friendly, entertaining, 3D, star-dotted (voiceovers by Mel Brooks, Kate McKinnon, and Dane DeHaan), 89-minute, 2016 animated film in which an 11-year-old, redheaded orphan (voiceover by Elle Fanning), who dreams of becoming a ballerina, escapes from a Brittany orphanage in the 1880s with her clumsy, inventive best friend (voiceover by Nat Wolff) and together they head to Paris where he finds an apprenticeship with an inventor and she finds herself at the Paris Opera Ballet being trained in the art of ballet by a disabled, former famous ballerina (voiceover by Carly Rae Jepsen) and primarily competing with a snooty dancer (voiceover by Maddie Ziegler) whose controlling, tyrannical mother (voiceover by Julie Khaner) forces her to dance to catch the eye of the strict choreographer (voiceover by Terrence Scammell) to be chosen to dance in The Nutcracker ballet.
