Barbie and the 12 Dancing Princesses Review

Baribe and the 12 Dancing Princesses is a great movie for little girls.  The early movies had very rough animation, but these newer movies are sharp and well designed.  This movie has a good message about being strong and standing up for what is right.  It also have an aspect of magic, which any little girls loves.  There are 12 very difference princesses who each have their own strengths to help solve in the problem.  The very beginning creates the set-up of a fable and Barbie is speaking to a younger sister about being able to help even with her size.  Talking parrots, romance, dancing, and mean aunt figure, and magic.  What more could a little girl ask for?

My daughters aged 5 and 3 love this Barbie movie.  While some children's movies I don't want to watch repeatedly, this is one that I can handle watching repeatedly.  A great talking point of strength and how everyone can help with their special talent.  Not quite edutainment, but still offers a learning experience if used correctly.
