There are strong fairy tale and fairy tale (and like) based ballets themes running throughout. The strongest ones from beginning to end are The Ugly Duckling and Swan Lake(why UD will be obvious in the first ep, SL elements are there from the start, but not really obvious for a few eps.) Each ep in either the first or last half (or maybe both...I can't remember which off the top of my head...I think the first half) opens with a narrated version of a well known or lesser known fairy tale, with a "what if" at the end, and then the actual episode's adventure is based on a ballet, with elements of the fairy tale mixed in.
It goes into extreme fairytale and storytelling deconstruction and meta, but any more than I've said is really, really spoilery.
