Movie Reviews of Barbie in The 12 Dancing Princesses
Movie Review: A thirteen year old Barbie lover's review
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely LOVED this movie. It's the best Barbie's ever done. I am 13 and still LOVE Barbie! So what if it's animated? "Barbie" has been labelled as "baby" but it's not!
I love to dance, and this movie has seriously inspired me. I am constantly humming the songs and practicing their dances. Even my dad, who is a huge music person (he's the music director at our church, and is very talented at the piano) LOVED the music score.
The movie is centered around Genevieve, who is played by Barbie. She has a crush on the cobbler, Derek, who is in love with her as well. Genevieve and her 11 sisters are described as "rambunctious" and "wild." So their father askd his dead wife's cousin to come and instruct his daughters. The cousin, Duchess Rowena, has plans to kill the king and take over. She slowly poisons the king and forbids the girls to visit him. She also forbids them to sing, dance or do anything fun in an attempt to squash their spirit.
One night the girls stumble upon a magical land beneath their floor, and dance there all night until their shoes are worn out. On the third night, Derek follows them because he has found out Rowena's scheme. Rowena finds where the 12 girls have gone and traps everyone in their secret hideout while she gives their father the final (and fatal) dose of medicine. Genevieve and Derek must dance together in order to release everyone, and they use the girls' various talents to outwit Rowena and save their father. In the end, Lacy, who has always been the klutz and the runt, ultimately is the one who saves her father from death.
There is a scene towards the end where Derek and Genevieve fight enchanted suits of armor that threaten their lives. For me, it wasn't too action and danger- filled, because for one it's animation and two: Barbie never dies. But it could be a little startling for 2yo-5yos.
The dresses are (as always) gorgeous, but this time, they've outdone themselves. The girls are (in order from oldest to youngest): Ashlyn, Blair, Courtney, Delia, Edeline, Fallon, and Genevieve, (the oldest, more adult figures) Hadley and Isla, (twelve year old twins), and Janessa, Kathleen and Lacy. (five year old triplets). I like this because 1: I love the names! i.e: Blair, Fallon, Hadley, my faves, are ubusual and cool! 2: There's always little kellys or adult Barbies, but girls who are my age, and I like that.
Tis is a MUST BUY I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!!!!! It's my most favorite movie in the entire world! Even my ten- year- old brother likes it. He loves "Felix", Derek's parrot, and "Brutus", Rowena's monkey.
I love this movie! Don't be folled by its "little girl" title. A must-see!
