...dancers performed the ballet from Meyerbeer's 1831 opera Robert le Diable, a spooky medieval tale that pits a young knight against the seductive forces of the Devil; about the best that can be said for it is that the knight ultimately triumphs. In an attempt to convey the lacquered elegance of a 19th century Paris salon, chamber music soloists performed in a drawing-room setting.

In addition, it provides the accepting child viewer with the prime requisites for motion pictures: 1) a star with fur, 2) adults who look foolish (as Merrill does when he tries, by flapping his arms, to teach a gosling to fly), and 3) no love scenes except those between otter and otter. The result is little otters, making Ring of Bright Water the best sex-education film ever...
