1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
2** [[http://www.televisiontunes.com/Angelina_Ballerina.html Just listen to the theme music]].
3** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKMP_VBcSgU The theme song in The Next Steps]] is also worth mentioning as it's quite catchy and upbeat.
4* DesignatedHero: Despite being the main protagonist, Angelina could be very nasty and horrible at times, sometimes even meaner than Penelope and Priscilla. This is especially if she is jealous. This was heavily toned down in ''The Next Steps''.
5* FridgeBrilliance: In the book version of ''Angelina's Baby Sister'', Polly sneezes several times and the grownups worry that she's catching a cold, but she's fine. [[https://kidshealth.org/en/parents/newborn-variations.html#:~:text=Eyes,first%202%20to%203%20months Sneezing]] is indeed very common among newborns and isn't a sign of a cold, or even allergies.
6* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:
7** In "The Rose Fairy Princess", Angelina is afraid to be in the school play, since she's going to be suspended by a single wire. She [[FakeFaint pretends to pass out]], but gives the game away because she winked at Alice directly beforehand.
8** In "Angelina's Surprise", Angelina, who is jealous of the attention the Pinkpaws twins are getting for [[NewBabyEpisode their newborn brother]], lies that Mrs. Mouseling is pregnant. Later, Miss Lily tells Mrs. Mouseling that she shouldn't be carrying a heavy bag of groceries in her "condition".
9--->'''Mrs. Mouseling:''' My condition? What is she talking about?
10* HarsherInHindsight: In "Angelina's Opera", Gracie and A.Z. are absent. This turned out to be the last episode, so they weren't in any others afterwards. What's even more harsher is that they had room for two other background characters dancing with the other main characters in the end scene, but not them.
11* HeartwarmingInHindsight: Angelina's relationship with Miss Lilly is especially touching when you know that their respective voice actresses, Finty Williams and Judi Dench, are mother and daughter in real life.
12* IAmNotShazam: The titular character's real name is "Angelina ''Mouseling''", though many parents and non-fans refer to her as "Angelina Ballerina". (In ''Angelina and the Royal Wedding'', she carries a suitcase with the initials "A.B.", which doesn't help.) The sequel series ''The Next Steps'' gets this wrong too, with ''the titular character'' calling herself "Angelina Ballerina" in the introduction to every episode. That said, in the episode "Angelina's New School," the other characters do refer to her correctly as "Angelina Mouseling." Some of the books that began releasing in or around 2020 also have other characters refer to her this way, as well as the books themselves doing so in the narration.
13* PeripheryDemographic: The original show has a good sized following among [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom furries]] and people who grew up watching it, but ''The Next Steps'' also has its fans.
14* PopularWithFurries: The show's PeripheryDemographic has a lot of furries in it. The original show and ''The Next Steps'' have been the GatewaySeries for many newer furries.
15* TheyChangedItNowItSucks : Many fans of the original series disapprove of ''The Next Steps'', especially its art style.
16* ToyShip: William and Angelina is seen as pretty cute to some fans, as are Angelina and Marco in ''The Next Steps''.
17* {{Wangst}}: Angelina can often go into this in the books and 2001 series. Whenever faced with a dilemma, she would cry and moan a lot, which could lead to some viewers to think that either she might have some sort of emotional disorder or is just being plain melodramatic. Thankfully, this is toned down in ''The Next Steps''.
