Watch: Tales of Beatrix Potter 1971 123movies, Full Movie Online – Beatrix Potter’s most beloved characters spring to life in this live-action classic..
Plot: The Royal Ballet Company brings Squirrel Nutkin, Tom Thumb, Hunca Munca, Jemima Puddle-Duck, Jeremy Fisher, Pigling Bland, and Pigwig to the screen doing pirouettes and pas de deux in this filmed ballet production directed by Reginald Mills. The film more properly belongs, however, to choreographer Frederick Ashmore, composer John Lanchbery, and costume designer Rostislav Douboujinsky. This literal adaptation concerns the shy Beatrix Potter and how, when all of the toy animals in her room come to life, she emerges from her shell and begins to enjoy life. Sequences include a rowdy dance with Tom Thumb and Hunca Munca destroying a collection of plaster food, a midnight pas de deux between Pigling Bland and Pigwig, and a corps de ballet of dancing mice.

Stunning
The costumes are amazing recreations of Beatrix Potter’s characters. High points are Jeremy Fisher and the mice destroying the dolls’ house. Squirrel Nutkin is pretty good too. The dancing is fantastic. And there’s no CGI, Jemima is flying on a wire. And the dancers are neither slowed down nor speeded up. Their flying leaps are real! (I’ve always felt Jeremy Fisher was a distant cousin.)There are hints of danger with the cat looking down the mousehole, the silent, blinking owl, and the strings of sausages that give the game away. The stories are much, MUCH darker! I’m glad no rats featured, and the pike that nearly gets Jeremy is a mere shadow.
Only flaw – it goes on just a bit too long, and the pastiche music gets a bit samey.
Wonderful And Charming Family Ballet Film. Perfect For The Easter Season.
saw this movie when i was very young and was charmed. i now watch it every Easter season and still remained as coddled and cuddled by it as i was as a child.it’s delightful. it is also a beautiful example of Ballet and cinema. it boast some of the most beautiful photography to come out of England to date, which is no small feat considering that English cinematographers are amongst the very skilled and best. the sets, costumes and critter make-up is also equally accomplished.
with so many young people lacking in any traditional culture or understanding of the arts, this is a perfect way to expose them to something other than most of the mindless entertainment that targets them. at least kids will learn something here about the history of the arts and culture. anything is better than bringing them up on moronic commercial jingles and shows that are ALWAYS tied into merchandising. or pumping them up on video games that teach them nothing more than mindless winning and competition.
not to mention this is a very good understanding of Potter’s early life and how she became inspired to draw. it’s probably a better interpretation than the mushed down, Saturday morning cartoon interpretation with Renee Zellwigger.
if you are tired of your kids learning nothing but the “value of their own backyard”, or how to “neutralize” the enemy, than start having them watch things of culture and breeding early on. who knows? maybe they’ll turn out “genteel” than a “thug”.
