When everyone in town falls under the spell of charismatic cosmetic surgeon Doctor Coppelius, feisty Swan must act to save her sweetheart Franz, before his heart is used to spark life into Coppelia – the ‘perfect’ robot-woman the Doctor has created. A modern tale for young and old, told through a unique combination of 2D animation and live action dance.

There is curiosity value here. But not enough.

Like some insane mashup of the silent film classic Metropolis, old-school dance and the children’s TV show LazyTown from the early 00s. But in a mostly fun way.

The film is aimed primarily at children, and many will enjoy it; but I wouldn’t fault anyone who finds it a bit twee.

The highlight is the choreography. With the animation allowing new and interesting possibilities.

When the movie focuses on graceful dancers in a colorful environment, it's delightful.

Leans heavily into modern concerns of fabricated image and the corruption of beauty, while staying true to the original story.
