On their youngest sisters' birthday, the other sisters gift a copy of their late mother's favorite story, wherein a princess discovers a magical land and dances there for three nights before it vanishes. Looking at the story and the tiles on their bedroom floor, Genevieve discovers how to open a portal into the magical land. Upon entering, they dance the night away. They learn the hanging golden flowers grant wishes, the statues can come to life, and the water has healing properties.

The next day, the princesses appear tired and Rowena finds their new dancing shoes worn out, arousing her suspicions. King Randolph falls ill, so Genevieve asks the royal cobbler, Derek, to investigate Rowena's true intentions. That night, the princesses return to the magical land; Derek confronts a local apothecary and deduces that Rowena has been poisoning the King.

The next morning, the sisters are again exhausted. Rowena, refusing to believe the sisters when they tell her the truth, forces them into servitude. After overhearing Rowena maneuver the King into referring to his daughters as burdens, the heartbroken princesses return to the magical land for a third time, and Rowena finds them missing the next morning.

After learning that the princesses are missing, Derek figures out how to open the portal and makes his way into the magical land. Rowena's pet monkey, Brutus, spies on Derek and leads Rowena through after him; she steals one of the wish-granting flowers. The princesses decide to go home and help their father; however, Rowena returns to the palace ahead of them and has her henchman, Desmond, destroy the portal. Derek and Genevieve figure out how to activate another portal by dancing together, freeing the group.

Once home, they find out that the King is dying and that Rowena has taken over as Queen. The Duchess uses the golden flower to wish for Genevieve to dance forever without rest, but Genevieve blows the magic dust back at her with a hand fan, forcing Rowena to dance uncontrollably. When Desmond tries to help Rowena, he is pulled into the spell, and the two dance their way out of the castle. Lacey uses the healing water she took from the magic land to revive her father. King Randolph affirms his unconditional love for his daughters and Genevieve and Derek celebrate their wedding.

Each of the 12 Princesses is designated with a gemstone and a flower. Each princess' flower appears on their dresses, the book gifted to each of them, and on the stones on the floor of their bedroom, and each of the princesses' names begin with the first 12 letters of the alphabet.

In the October 14, 2006 issue of Billboard, Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses debuted at number one on the Top DVD Sales chart.[6] The film sold nearly 500,000 units in its first week, 15% more than the previous princess-themed film in the Barbie franchise.[7]

Jill Stark of The Sunday Age rated the film 3/5 stars, calling it "good wholesome stuff, though the story sometimes plods."[8] Describing the plot as "Footloose in a fairy-tale setting", D. Liebenson of The Video Librarian wrote, "Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses serves up plenty of magic to enchant young, starry-eyed Barbie fans and aspiring dancers", and "the CGI animation sparkles, with each character boasting an otherworldly porcelain sheen."[9]

Reviewing the film for Common Sense Media, Teresa Talerico described it as "an innocent story about sisterly love and ballet dancing" but advised that the villain subplot and poisoning scenes may be frightening for young children. Talerico also wrote that the 12 sisters' characters weren't well developed.[10]

The line of tie-in Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses products included dolls, playsets and accessories. Dolls of each of the 12 princess characters and Derek were released, as well as a "Magic Dance Castle" dollhouse, a princess vanity for the 12 dolls, a horse and carriage set that can seat all 12 dolls, and two Twyla plush toys.[13]

Barbie in The 12 Dancing Princesses is the 9th Barbie movie. It premiered on Nickelodeon on September 10, 2006,[1] and it was later released to DVD on September 19, 2006. The movie is based on the Brothers Grimm story The Twelve Dancing Princesses. It follows the story of Princess Genevieve and her eleven sisters as they go to a magical world where their wishes come true.

"In Barbie in The 12 Dancing Princesses, Barbie will dance her way into your hearts in this fun and enchanting all-new adventure. Join Barbie as the beautiful Princess Genevieve and her eleven dancing princess sisters as they discover a secret entrance to an amazing, magical world where wishes come true! But when their father is in danger of losing his kingdom and his own life, Princess Genevieve and her sisters must work together in order to save the day and their father. They learn that the power of family can overcome all obstacles!"

Barbie stars as Genevieve, a princess with eleven sisters: Ashlyn, Blair, Courtney, Delia, Edeline, Fallon, Hadley, Isla, Janessa, Kathleen and Lacey. Each princess is beautiful and different, but the twelve sisters have one thing in common: they all love to dance. They live in a castle with their widowed father, King Randolph. Randolph loves his daughters deeply, but at times can't understand them and feels that they should act more like "proper" princesses.

The girls' adventurous and free-spirited natures are viewed as "unladylike" and "unproper" by other members of the royal society and often lead them to make rude comments about the princesses. This both disheartens and hurts Randolph. Believing his daughters need a woman's touch, the king summons his cousin, Duchess Rowena, to the castle to help raise them. However, Rowena has her own plans, which include getting rid of Randolph and his daughters so she can take over the kingdom. She does her lessons with the girls but gives them grey dresses, she doesn't take the time to learn the girls' names, rearranges everything in their room and has a strict bedtime rule.

Sensing trouble, Genevieve and her sisters try to reason with Randolph, but due to Rowena's interference, the king doesn't believe them and says they must listen to his cousin. Attempting to break the girls' spirits, Rowena makes the princesses' lives miserable by stripping the castle of everything they love and having them practice "proper" behavior, like fanning. She even banishes dancing and singing from the castle when the girls were celebrating the Triplets' birthday.

Sad with the changes, the princesses find comfort in their mother's favorite story, which she gave to the girls when they turned five. It tells of a Princess who discovered a magical kingdom where gold flowers grant wishes and could dance at an enchanted pavilion for three nights. It is stated that after the third night, the enchanted land vanished forever. However even though the princess could not go back, she had some magic to take with her forever. They later discover that the story is true as Lacey, the youngest, sees that her lily matches the lily on the floor. Genevieve tells everyone to find a match on their book to a stone. Genevieve tries dancing from stone to stone; it doesn't work. She then tries dancing from oldest to youngest (which is actually stone-to-stone, only in an alternating up-down/hexagramal pattern). Lacey's stone doesn't work, so she twirls three times, like the character in the story. They enter the magical kingdom and end up dancing the night away.

While dancing Lacey, the youngest, falls and scrapes her knee. Genevieve dabs water from a nearby fountain on the cut, and it instantly heals, revealing that the water there is magic. Towards the end of the night the triplets are asleep and the girl's shoes are worn out and they all decide to go back. The Triplets thank Genevieve for their birthday and the girls go to sleep. The next day, the girls are tired, and the duchess finds their new dancing shoes worn through. Suspicious, Rowena believes that they were out dancing with princes, which to her means she would lose her chance to take the crown and rule the kingdom as planned. Meanwhile, the royal cobbler and Genevieve's love interest, Derek, comes to fix their shoes and sees that they are covered in gold dust. Genevieve dances on the mosaic in the pavilion outside (the same dance that opens the magical door hidden in their bedroom floor) identical to the one in their bedroom. While together, Genevieve asks Derek to find out what Rowena's true intentions are. The duchess continues to deprive them of any enjoyment and prevents them from visiting or singing to their father, who has suddenly fallen ill. The doctor gives Rowena a tonic for Randolph, which she quickly disposes of, revealing that she is poisoning him.

That night, Rowena tells the girls to be more awake tomorrow and wants no excuses. After leaving, has her footman, Desmond, stand guard outside the princesses' room to find out where they go. The sisters sneak back to the magic realm and dance well into the night again. Meanwhile, Derek discovers that Rowena is stealing heirlooms from the castle and dealing with an apothecary (presumably for the poison). He manages to get back the gauntlet, unfortunately he has to sell his horse to get it. He hurries back to warn Genevieve and her sisters. The next morning, the sisters are still exhausted, and Rowena demands to know why. When she gangs up on Lacey, the girls tell her the truth, but she doesn't believe them and forces them into servitude. They spend the day raking the leaves, when Lacey accidentally drops a basket of leaves she runs away crying, Genevieve goes to comfort her. Lacey feels sad that she is the youngest and hasn't found a talent of her own but Geniveve assures her that "Big or small there is a difference only you can make." That night, Genevieve and Lacey go to see their father but over hear him and Rowena talking and they hear him say they are a burden even though that is not really what he said. Later on, Rowena demands the truth again, but they tell her the same story. This makes Rowena angrier, she tells them tomorrow they'll be cleaning the stables, and she locks them in their room, blaming them for Randolph's failing health. Hurt by her cruel words, and due to a misinterpreted conversation between the king and Rowena, the girls can't help but feel that she's right and that their father would be better off without them. 152ee80cbc
