A kids tablet LilyPad will be a villain in the film.

The tablet has a different perception of what’s best for Bonnie in contrast to the toys.

Ballerina is fun action thriller and Ana De Armas delivers a stellar performance. I was just expecting a little more from the story, but it didn't take away from enjoying the movie.
