I thought this movie was perfect for little girls. It was about a magical place where Genevieve and all her sisters could do what they wanted to do the most anytime they'd like. Most little girls would like this story, even though there is the thought of death in it. Although no one dies, the king almost does, but little girls would not understand it, so it adds up to make a perfect story. All the events add up, creating a great plot that can have a meaning if you dig deep enough. This story is perfect for little girls, and since it is a barbie movie, the kids can have more fun with it, especially if they have barbies of their own. Anyone can have fun with it, though, because it is so cute and understandable. Overall, I think this movie is a good movie for everyone, especially little girls, and will give anyone a smile at least once during it.

My 4YO and 2YO love this movie. It does help a little that my oldest has the same name as Barbie in this movie. :) We've only just gotten into the Barbie movies as they've gone on clearance, they usually have pretty twisted morals. Not sure if I'd rather have that than the boy saves girl of the original stories. Anyway, this one has rubbed me the wrong way. The duchess that comes in and tries to make them "princesses" is only enforcing normal rules... like bedtime and punctuality. (Some of the same things I try to enforce at home.) Okay... and then she tries to kill their dad off, that's bad. But my kids don't really understand the whole death thing, so for them it seems like everyone's upset that the duchess is making them follow rules and be considerate of others...

Hmm... other than that, its not so bad.

Beautiful dancing singing and wonderful views amazing colours dresses nice voice amazing choreography my favourite movie Barbies I love it thank you watching me my movie

This Movie's about 12 Beautiful Princesses who love to Dance until the King summons his Cousin the Duchess(Of Doom)to teach the Princesses how to be Proper Young ladies, But the Duchess makes the Princesses lives miserable by banning Dancing, Singing, and everything the Princesses love dear from the castle. But not all was lost when the Girls had their Mother's story about a Magical Kingdom Comfort them after the Duchess made some changes around the castle (Including the Girls wardrobe) later that night the Girls discover a magical world where wishes come true through the Mosaic of their bedroom floor. The Girls were having fun dancing for Two nights unaware that the Duchess has poisoned the princesses father so she could be Queen, and it was up to the Princesses and the Handsome royal Cobbler Derek put a stop to the Duchess's evil plans! My favorite part of the Movie is when the Princesses go into the Magical Kingdom sometimes I wish I could go there.

This awesome movie could look like a kid's movie and in part it is, but you can watch it with all the family and all the members will learn something from this. Is an astonishing story that I enjoyed since the first time with the most light-hearted combination of music, dance, love and a lot of family values. Is a fantasy movie with funny moments but with a weak point in its graphics and design characters, it's possible to see how the main characters are a copy and little changes like the hair or dress color. It shows us the story of the King Randolph who ruefully lost her wife and in the middle of his loneliness tries to educate his twelve daughters but, he can't, the sweet princesses have improper behaviors for their position and in the other kingdoms are refused; all this situations makes that Randolph takes the worst decision, asks for the help of the Duchess Rowena, his cousin; since this moment all change, all the happiness, music and colors became darkness and silence. But not even this achieve to separate the sisters, they always stay linked and are the support for each one until they make things better for all their family. Is a magic story full of teachings, it introduces topics like the death, the familiar union, the love between father-daughters and between sisters, the sacrifice, the friendship and the romantic love. Finally, the mix music-dance is awe-inspiring, you just can watch and enjoy the choreography and the synchrony of everything, and after of this inspired experience you will want became a ballet dancer (or at least it happens to me all the times that I watch the movie).

As someone who watched as a little kid,it still holds up,The animation was pretty cool if a little mushy (in color sorta).This film successfully uses foreshadowing from the duchess serving the king tea which is later revealed to be poison,to the princesses using their abilities they were given at the beginning of the film.The choreography is greatest that I've ever seen and it actually serves to the plot,The Villain is also not shallow and goes from somwwhat of a jerk to a complete psychopath and it never felt forced,she wants the kingdom to herself and won't let anyone in her way.I also liked the rivalry between the monkey and the cat as it felt like a brother sister rivalry vibe Overall,it's a good film Also to the people mentioning how its "too scary" and it "has too much consumerism" shut up,being scary isn't a bad thing and consumerism doesn't affect a film's quality,just look at the Lego Movie I'd out this film on my top 5 for sure

Title The Twelve Dancing Princesses. Setting The movie is set in a palace and a magical world, it is set in modern time Plot The story starts when the princesses sit by breakfast then the royal massager says that the shoemaker has arrived then the princesses all stand up at once and get their shoes then the king's cousin arrives king sends his cousin to take care of the princesses (the princesses are the twelve Dancing princesses)but the King's cousin is evil. The evil cousin gives the king poison, but the princesses don't know anything about it because they were dancing in the magical world, but one night the pet monkey peeks in from one bed then tells the evil cousin the next morning then the evil cousin gets in the magical world in the meantime at the palace the king gets even more ill because the evil cousin gave him poison in the tea then the doctor comes again and said that there is no more medicine that can help then the evil cousin gets crowned to the queen then the princesses return from the magical world and they save the king and then Barbie (Barbie is one of the twelve dancing princesses) marries the shoemaker and they live happily ever after. Favourite part My favourite part was when the twelve princesses dance together. Recommendation I liked this movie because I love ballet, the evil cousin looks funny. Z. Age 7 This movie review was submitted as part of a class project where we learnt about writing book reviews and movie reviews. We hope it is useful for you.

Incredible movie with amazing lessons about perseverance and believing in yourself. I saw a review of someone saying they didn't like this movie because it told their kids having a bed time is evil? Like she didn't ban dancing, singing, and celebrating birthdays. Anyways one of my favorite movies!

This is a new Barbie movie. The graphics were really good. They made the movie seem partially realistic. I used to do ballet and this movie made me want to continue it. This movie was kind of like a Cinderella movie but a little bit different. A father of 12 princesses gets very sick. His cousin poisons him and wants the throne. The girls find a secret magical land thanks to their dead mother's stories. Its up to them to save their father and society. With the help of their handsome prince. It was a funny movie and me and my friend had fun watching it. We enjoyed it a lot and also enjoyed the Indian talking parrot. The music was very nice and made the movie even greater. It had a great classical orchestra. The voices were great and the characters were adorably sweet and cute. I liked it so enjoy the movie its great for the family. All in all I'd watch it again.

I walked into this movie expecting it to be fun and happy and colourful. I am a young adult who's never seen this before. And it is in the beginning, colourful and fun. The plot is good. The music is 💯 The dynamic between the sisters is fun. I love the lore It gets depressing quick though. In my opinion, this is rather dark for a kid's film. Spoilers: the villain forces them to wear gray outfits, robbing them of their joy and identity, and is just a wicked, scheming character. I prefer villains like Preminger who, while dark, add a bit of comic relief. She was just straight up evil. I was invested in the storyline, so it was hard to watch the princesses be mistreated. I thought it was going to be a fun dancing film. The magic land was cool and was the redeeming point of the movie (as well as the male lead) for me. Without spoiling too much, in my opinion, this movie needs a PG-13 warning as content can be dark for little kids (to be fair, it probably goes over their heads). I was satisfied with the happy ending but traumatized 😂 (no seriously) by the time the movie was over. Sheesh! #emotionaldamage.
