This is an excellent update of the original 1870 ballet. The sets and the mix of CGI, real actors and the score make this visually very watchable. At a shade over 76 minutes long it kept my attention without feeling drawn out. The modern take of Dr Coppelius being some sort of cosmetic surgeon rather than a toymaker is well thought out and the ballet touches on modern issues such as social media pressure, self image, and inner happiness & peace. The music fits the story well and the colour schemes and costumes are well thought out. I'll watch this again sometime and would recommend it to those who maybe haven't seen a ballet brought up to date for the modern age.
