"I could dance forever and ever and ever."
In our final week of The 12 Dancing Princesses Month, Drew and Cassie are joined by Drew's sister, Daurie, to discuss perhaps the world's most popular retelling of the story, the 2006 film Barbie in The 12 Dancing Princesses. Barbie plays the role of Genevieve, the 7th of 12 sisters whose father decides they must learn to be "proper princesses." When their instructor begins to suck all of the joy out of their lives, the 12 princesses find a magic portal to a secret world where they can dance to their hearts' content. We talk about the musical and ballet influences, Felix the Parrot, the personality prescribed to each princess, the total elimination of the fairy tale's original plotline, Mattel's protection of the Barbie character, Ken-as-Derek-as-Sherlock Holmes, "the Power of Twelve," the magical wishing flowers, and more!
