Leap! (aka Ballerina outside of the U.S.A) is a sweet CGI animated film with a message about pursuing one's dreams and overcoming obstacles set in the City of Lights during the late 1800s. Félicie and her best friend Victor, both orphans, escape rural Brittany to do just that, one wanting more than anything to become a dancer and the other an inventor. Along the way, they discover their abilities and make new friends. During a year that saw Zootopia and Sing, this understated movie may have slipped by and gone unnoticed, but there's an attention to detail, vibrancy and energy that shouldn't be missed. The dancing, setting and Elle's voice performance as Félicie, elevate what could have been a fairly routine take on ballet and the overall message that all three movies cited here share: To believe in one's self. Still, watch for the beauty of a well-rendered CGI cartoon with a great dance-off between Félicie and Maggie Ziegler as Camille!

Factual error: In the movie, we see the Statue of Liberty with its current bluish-green color. The statue only got that color over time, and as it was still being built, it should be its original brown.
