David K @RT61474040 Dec 14, 2025 It does get a little tedious with dance routines that could have effectively been cut down by 10 minutes +/-. I watched it to take in the Hanna-Barbera animation in the last of the trilogy as part of a Hanna-Barbera focus on TCM. Not bad but earlier ventures with live and animated integration with them was better (i.e. Anchors Aweigh). See more Dale F @RT37684099 Nov 4, 2025 I thought it was ultra cool! Amazing integration of Kelly with characters. Fantastic dancing as usual!

Although his appearance in every number would suggest that this is a pet project, when you learn that the studio forced that constraint upon the filmmakers to the chagrin of the dancers, it becomes clear that for Kelly making this enigmatic experiment in ballet was a matter of real artistic passion. Flawed though it is, that creative ambition and aesthetic integrity is admirable, and the dancing is nothing less than sheer entertainment.
