Barbie en las 12 princesas bailarinas

This movie belongs on my top 2 Barbie films ever! Such a magical plot, the characters really click together, I just adore it!

I do get some pleasure out of the Barbie movies, and the 12 Dancing Princesses is no exception. The animation is mostly full of lovely colour, fluid backgrounds and nuanced facial expressions. True, the animation in the dance sequences is not very inspired, but none of it is bad as far I could see. The music is whimsical and catchy, the dialogue is decent with some fun moments even with some corniness, the story has a lot of charm and heart making an existing story fresh in terms of storytelling and while the characters are not much different from the types of characters from the previous Barbie movies they are likable still. The voice acting is solid from all involved. Overall, a very charming movie. 8/10 Bethany Cox

This is a nicely-done story with pretty music, lots of dancing, lots of big sister/little sister interaction (almost all of it positive), and lots of wishes granted. There are funny moments that older children and adults will enjoy, such as when King Randolph exclaims, "They're just SHOES! Aren't they?" And tender moments such as when Princess Genevieve comforts her youngest sister, Lacey, after a blunder.

The animation is perhaps not as good as Disney, but it still is very good. The facial expressions are nuanced, particularly for Genevieve, King Randolph, Duchess Rowena and her servant, Derek the cobbler, and little Princess Lacey. My only quibble on the animation is in the dance sequences where the dancing princesses become absolute carbon copies of each other without the slightest deviation -- even the three youngest copy the dance steps perfectly. I would have liked to see a little more individualism in the dancing, considering that these girls are not professional ballerinas or chorus dancers.

The resolution of the story is handled cleverly to get rid of a villainess without actually hurting her. There is some violence done to guards in the story, and the villainess's monkey is mean to other animals in the story.

My 4-year-old daughter loves this movie and has watched it repeatedly, and I have found it to be quite acceptable for her to watch.

The princesses get tortured mentally getting forced to drop everything they love to become ideal ladies like the description for the movie says. Similar to Cinderella the evil stepmother. This is pretty good for 2006 era of television and movies. This is a child friendly version of the mentality that children will go through once they start being treated poorly and go to imaginary places to cope with the new stress of a different life and routine.

This 3D animation was expressive and silly animal pets that are unusual and exotic for modern life. With a indian parrot when no one in the film is of that region. Shows the parrot was adopted later on in its life, and also gives some silly nice diversity for the film.

Twelve princess sisters love to dance, play and sing. But when their father, the king, finds it inappropriate and wants his daughters to behave like princesses, he asks his cousin, the Duchess Rowena, to discipline the sisters. Its first law is to stop girls from doing everything that is not considered "princess-like", like dancing, singing and playing. On the triplets' birthday, they receive a book that belonged to their mother and discover that, by dancing in their room, a magical world opens up where they can do everything that is forbidden in the castle.

It is in an animation/family movie, scripted by Elana Lesser, Cliff Ruby and directed by Greg Richardson, Terry Klassen and it was released on September 10, 2006 with 1 hour 23 minutes.

It's a beautiful movie, both for children and adults, besides presenting very beautiful songs composed by Arnie Roth I particularly love all the old movies from the Barbie collection, they have a story that captivates you and makes you want to watch more. It also makes me feel nostalgic. I highly recommend everyone to watch it, it is a great movie to watch eating candy. I'm even going to watch it for the umpteenth time.
