I bought this DVD at the request of my 7-year old daughter, a budding ballerina. The story keeps enough of the traditional fairy tale, to be entertaining for the adults. It has a good plot and bright colors that keep the children's attention, and has provided excellent entertaintment during bitter cold winter days. It provides good character lessons in family dynamics, sibling love, overcoming obstacles, and helping each other. Parents may want to watch it with their children to answer their questions. I know I had a lot of them regarding the villainess...
My daugther (4.5) loves this movie. It has great music, and for the most part, a good message about standing up to what you believe and working together. The only complaint I have about all the Barbie movies, is that they never show any of the female characters actually eating anything, ever! It sounds petty perhaps, but it is a subtle message that I don't think young girls need in our society, which is already overly focused on physical beauty and being skinny. Even when the characters complain about being very hungry and they sit down at a table with food, they never actually eat anything. Just something to keep in mind if your child is watching these.
My daughter, like many other young girls, loves the Barbie movies. However, we have been very selective of which ones to get because we want them to be quality shows rather than just a lot of pretty girls and sparkly things. This one is a pretty good show overall comparatively speaking. It is great for any young aspiring ballerina and has a good moral about everyone being able to make a difference; no matter their size.
This came in great! The slip cover was shiny and holographic. I appreciate that you wrapped it as well. The booklet was also nice too!

Barbie in The 12 Dancing Princesses is a wonderful musical. It tells the story of 12 princesses who, with the help of Derek, a shoe cobbler, escape away to a hidden realm told to them through their mother's children's stories. They must join together to discover the evil their aunt is scheming and the harm that she is causing their father, the king. They must hurry to save the kingdom and their father. I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my college roommate. She and I watch cartoons while doing homework. The film, however, is a great film for little girls who are wanting to dream of castles and princes and princesses.
The disc and case were in really good condition ! Everything worked so perfectly
