Barbie in le 12 Principesse Danzanti

I feel that this movie is different from so many others in that it shows a family of girls who actually care about each other. They may have faults, but bitterness and put-downs have no place with these girls. Try to find that on TV or in the usual movies. It is a breath of fresh air to see girls being feminine--wearing beautiful, feminine dresses and shoes. Contrast that with the apparel in stores today, i.e. raggedy and faded jeans and jackets, etc. The story line has an evil thread running through but that is what makes it more realistic and interesting. I know that it is animated, but it still gives you a feeling that families can stick together and come out okay. I would recommend this movie for boys and girls alike.

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.

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

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.

When the evil Aunt Rowena moves into the castle, she forbids princesses to dance or sing forever, as she believes it is not the kind of behavior appropriate for a princess. The princesses discover a magical and secret palace to which they flee, but when Barbie learns that her aunt is plotting to rule the kingdom, she must go back to help her father, the king!

The dramas are always cute, although the graphic remains ugly, perhaps for the time not so much, clichés and nice, the scripts do not escape the commonplace, but enchant by the Barbie magic of being and the cute little children, despite being repetitive, I don't care I'm tired of watching the sequels, there are still a few to go, I find them even cuter today than a few years ago, they still entertain me...
