Trivia
The Statue of Liberty is shown light green- it's current oxidized state. During construction and for a few years after it would have been a shiny copperish bronze color.

Goofs
The Statue of Liberty is shown as being already green when it should be brown. The bronze didn't deteriorate to green until around 1900.

Quotes
Victor: [watching Felicie dance around the Irish bar] Wow!
[Love-struck, he tosses her a rose. Felicie reaches up to catch it, but loses her balance and falls onto a table. Merante, who was seated nearby, stands up and removes his hat. Felicie gasps in fear]
Mérante: [sternly] I hope that tomorrow you act with a little more dignity.
[starts to walk out]
Mérante: Anyway, tonight was...
[puts his hat back on and smiles]
Mérante: A GOOD performance.
Felicie: [flattered] Thank you, sir.

Charming movie about chasing your dreams and never giving up

Im a huge fan for animation, I heard about this movie and didn't really know what to expect. What I got was a beautiful movie with the positive messages of chasing your dreams and never giving up on them no matter how hard things may seem.

I do kinda wish the subplot of victor could have tied in more with the main focus of Felicie but it is what it is, I ain't complaining.

Finally, It was hilarious and very charming too. Perfect for families. Enjoy the movie!
