Anilegna At The Park (Anilegna Anirellab)

Angelina at the Fair is the fifth episode in the first season of Angelina Ballerina.

Plot
Angelina reluctantly takes Henry to the fair with her friends. Poor Henry is forced to go on rides that he does not like. When Angelina leaves Henry on his own, however, she loses him, but then she finds him and makes up for her selfishness.

Why It Doesn't Deserve To Go To the Fair
NOTE: This doesn't apply to the book this episode is based off because that is much more tolerable than this episode.


 * 1) It's a Henry-torture episode, with the young mouse being constantly forced to go on rides he doesn't like, and just getting scolded by his older cousin.
 * 2) Angelina is near, or actually at, her absolute worst in this episode, as she torments Henry for wanting to ride the bigger rides, won't by him a balloon and puts him through constant torment. What's worse is that she actually loses him in the climax of the episode.
 * 3) * She also gets no comeuppance at the end of the episode, which makes her a Karma Houdini.
 * 4) * She's also a bit unlikeable in the beginning for rudely telling William to hold the bags while she helps Alice untie her shoes, leaving William to carry all the bags.
 * 5) ** This being said, William is also unlikeable later in the episode as he doesn't do much to better the situation and just seems as much angry at Henry as Angelina is.
 * 6) The voice acting, while mostly passable, still has the annoying crying, which is ear-grating to listen to.
 * 7) The concept, while it sounds good on paper, is poorly executed. If it followed how the book went, it would end up being better.
 * 8) The scene where Henry gets frightened might be scary for younger viewers.
 * 9) Alice, while likeable, asks the tall man to hold on to Henry. This, depending on your view, could've gotten the man in trouble had he gotten a hold of Henry as it might've been seen as kidnapping.
 * 10) This episode is pretty meanspirited, mainly being targeted at Henry.
 * 11) * Speaking of Henry, he's a basic punching bag and is shown as pretty cowardly, not wanting to go on any of the rides, which could get annoying fast for some.
 * 12) The Pinkpaw Twins' cameo is basically pointless, serving nothing more to the story then just to do their usual act of being stereotypical "mean girls."

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Angelina's Mum, Miss Lilly and Alice are still likeable.
 * 2) The ending was decent despite Angelina getting off scot-free.
 * 3) The beginning was alright.
 * 4) The voice-acting is mostly passable, and the animation is pretty good like usual for the first series.

Reception
It's left unrated on IMDb, but hated by many people who have seen the episode.

Trivia

 * This is the only episode to use cartoon sound effects.
