In the animated film "Leap! ", what does the orphan girl dream of becoming?

In the animated film “Leap!”, the orphan girl dreams of becoming a ballerina.

The girl is Félicie, an orphan from rural Brittany who longs to perform ballet. She escapes her orphanage with her friend Victor, an aspiring inventor, and travels to Paris. There, Félicie tries to enter the prestigious Paris Opera Ballet School despite having no formal training or privileged background.

The film is set in the 1880s, during a period when Paris was a major center of artistic and cultural life. Félicie’s journey combines fictional characters with recognizable historical surroundings, including the Paris Opera and the construction-era atmosphere of the Eiffel Tower.

“Leap!” was released in the United States under that title, while it was marketed internationally as “Ballerina.” That alternate title can cause confusion, but both names refer to the same 2016 French-Canadian animated film. Félicie’s dream is specifically to become a ballerina, while Victor’s parallel ambition is to become an inventor.
