Synopsis

This short Anidoc was in response to the Light Princess production in Autumn 2013. Bringing documentary and 2D animation styles together we decided to interview a group of young dancers and hear their thoughts on being a Princess. What would they do as a Princess? Would they listen to the King who would be their Father?
A gentle film with moments of humour. You may be surprised by the answers by some of these young girls.
In Association with the National Theatre.
