The characters are engaging, and the film is about things that concern young girls: getting along with friends, frenemies and siblings; building confidence; and working hard to make dreams come true.

An American Girl: Isabelle Dances Into the Spotlight isn't for adults, but its message is universal. Young girls will assuredly fall in love with the simple charms and basic characters who undergo confidence-inspiring transformations that teach the audience the importance of self-worth even when the road is tough, when the naysayers are loud, when life itself seems to ask a girl to bear its brunt on her tiny shoulders. The movie never leaves a comfort zone of simplicity, save for its nicely complex and well-executed dance maneuvers. It's a quality film when taken at face value, within the context it was made and for the audience to whom it is targeted.
