Movie Reviews of Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses
Movie Review: A Great Story and a Visual Treat
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this for my 7 year old daughter, who has most of the other Barbie animated movies. I watched it with her, and I enjoyed it just as much as she did. It has an excellent story, an excellent message, and wonderful visuals.
Although this film is now several years old, the animation is probably one of the best in the computer-animated Barbie movie series. The textures are finely detailed -- from the sets to the wardrobes to the faces. Movements and expressions are exceptionally fluid and extremely lifelike -- at times, you'll forget you're watching something computer animated. The dresses and skirts move in a natural fashion as the girls dance -- there is nothing stiff about this animation at all. It is a pleasure to watch.
The music is also very enjoyable, especially through a sound system. The classical music and original themes really add to the overall atmosphere of the production. The music is probably my favorite part of this film.
The characters are enjoyable -- you have your typical villain and sidekick, some comic animals, a prince, and the princesses. Voice acting is superb and believable. The story is written at a child's level, with enough sophistication for adults to enjoy.
Summary of Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses
Princess Genevieve and her twelve sisters escape their strict cousin by dancing the night away in a magic world, returning only to save their father, the king.Genre: Children's Video
Rating: NR
Release Date: 19-SEP-2006
Media Type: DVD
While every princess should learn and demonstrate proper etiquette, twelve young princesses learn the importance of doing good deeds and following their hearts in Twelve Dancing Princesses. When an overwhelmed King Randolph seeks the aid of his cousin the Duchess Rowena in acquainting his twelve young daughters with appropriate princess etiquette, the overly strict Duchess forbids dancing, singing and anything that makes the girls happy. The girls' misery increases when their father suddenly becomes ill and the future looks bleak until the princesses discover that twelve special books bequeathed to them by their late mother open the gateway to a magical world where wishes are granted and dancing is celebrated. Eventually, maturity demands that the twelve princesses return to the real world and confront Duchess Rowena in order to save their father and his kingdom. This CGI animated production features music by Felix Mendelssohn, ballet choreography by the New York City Ballet, and wholesome messages about morality and the power of family. (Ages 3 to 9) --Tami Horiuchi
