Angelina Ballerina is a British animated children's television series, based on the Angelina Ballerina series of children's books by author Katharine Holabird and illustrator Helen Craig. Because both PBS and HiT Entertainment co-owned Sprout when the channel was launched, they aired a variety of shows from both their archive libraries on Sprout, including reruns of Angelina Ballerina.

The show was one out of many to be aired on Sprout On Demand, with selected episodes airing under the "Children's Favorites" label (and eventually in its own label). It joined the network at launch in 2005.
The show aired at 11AM and 8:30PM ET when Sprout launched, and later at 4PM when The Sprout Sharing Show launched, and also at 8:21PM ET on The Good Night Show.

In 2010, when Dragon Tales stopped airing on Sprout, it returned to The Good Night Show, airing at 8:01 PM ET. In March 2011, it stopped airing on The Sharing Show, after Super WHY! premiered.
