\u201cWe three Fossils vow to put our name in the history books, because it is ours, and ours alone\u2026\u201d With these words, three orphans, raised as sisters, embark on an exhilarating journey that takes them to the heights of the stage, screen and sky. Pauline (Watson), Petrova (Yasmin Paige) and Posy Fossil (Lucy Boynton) are adopted as infants by eccentric explorer Professor Matthew Brown (Richard Griffiths), whom they affectionately call Great Uncle Matthew (or \u201cGum\u201d for short). When \u201cGum\u201d goes missing, his niece Sylvia (Emilia Fox) keeps the family together by taking in lodgers and eventually enrolls the girls in the Children’s Academy of Dancing and Stage Training. This suits the ambitious Pauline, who longs to act, and Posy, a natural dancer, but Petrova, who yearns to become an aviator, has her own dreams of soaring the skies. The girls\u2019 lives in show business are filled with triumphs and lessons learned until \u201cGum\u2019s\u201d surprise return provides the perfect happy ending for them all. <\/div>\n

Continuously in print since first being published in 1936, Streatfeild\u2019s novel, subtitled \u201cA Story of Three Children on the Stage,\u201d has delighted generations of young girls with its message that dreams really do come true. Directed by Sandra Goldbacher (Me Without You, The Governess), the Ballet Shoes feature-length adaptation was produced by Granada for the BBC. North American home video rights were acquired by KOCH Vision from Granada International.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to work with Screenvision,\u201d said Michael Rosenberg, President, KOCH Vision. \u201cTheir ability to provide a nationwide platform for audiences to enjoy Ballet Shoes on the big screen has played a key role in creating awareness for this property prior to its release on DVD.\u201d<\/p>\n
