"A little star with big dreams," Angelina Ballerina was introduced in a series of children's books written by Katharine Holabird and illustrated by Helen Craig. Angelina's real last name was Mouseling, altogether fitting, in that she was a cute little female mouse (albeit one dressed in ballet clothes and slippers). Determined to become a prima ballerina, Angelina studied tirelessly under her idol and mentor, Miss Lilly, along with such fellow dance classmates as Priscilla and Penelope Pinkpaws, and William Longstreet. While Angelina's family and her best friend, Alice, encouraged Angelina to follow her dreams, there were others not so politely inclined. Chief among our heroine's antagonists were crabby next-door neighbor Miss Hodgepodge, who hated all forms of dance, and neighborhood bully Sammy Watts, who thought that ballet was for wimps. After spawning a series of dolls and other ancillary products, the Angelina Ballerina franchise yielded a TV cartoon series, produced in England. Among the actors providing character voices were the illustrious Dame Judi Dench (as Miss Lilly) and her real-life daughter Finty Williams (as Angelina). The 26 fifteen-minute Angelina Ballerina episodes were broadcast in America, courtesy of PBS, beginning May 10, 2002. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Jamie McGregor (Barry Evans) is in his last year of high school and hoping to lose his status as a virgin, in this romantic comedy romp. He holds hands with his date at a church dance, but things go no farther. He tries to make time with a gangly girl who has a face that could stop a clock. The more poor Jamie tries, the more he is convinced he will die a virgin. His luck seems to change when he spends a weekend with the prettiest girl in school, but there is more arguing than amore. The best thing about the film is the soundtrack provided by The Spencer Davis Group, Steve Winwood, Dave Mason and Traffic (which included Windwood and Mason). All the aforementioned groups had found or would soon achieve worldwide fame for their contributions in music. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

Anna Neagle steps down from her expensive musical extravaganzas to play a recognizable human being in No Time for Tears. She plays the dedicated director of a busy children's hospital, battling red tape, family hassles and public indifference. A large and stellar cast appears in this episodic tale, dramatizing the triumphs and tragedies of pediatrics. An unfortunately predictable happy ending sends the filmgoers home without trauma. No Time for Tears came close to the end of Anna Neagle's starring career; she would appear in two more films, and produce two additional features, before returning to the stage. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
