DVD/Videos: Old ballet movie/video

[Ruby Slippers]

Does anyone know the name of an old ballet film using Royal Ballet dancers that was mainly clay animation about the (dancing) vegetables at Convent Garden? I used to have a copy on video until a friend recorded a basketball game over it. I am having a hard time searching for it as I cannot remember the title.

Hi

 

A wonderful film! It's "Stories from a Flying Trunk", made in 1979. I have it, and it can be got from Amazon although they want £49.99 for it.

Thanks! I tried Amazon here in the USA and they do not have it, but offer to try to find it. I will keep trying, as my descriptions of the baby brussels sprouts and wilting celery pale in comparison to the real thing.

Another good film is " Red Shoes". My ballet teaher has been telling my class to watch it!

These people have it deleted, but offer a video search - worth a try, I'd think.
