Editorial Review
Capitalizing on the princess passion so many young girls harbor these days, the folks at Universal Studios and Mattel have developed a veritable princess bonanza with the "Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses" dolls and DVD. Not to be confused (or linked too closely) with the Brothers Grimm fairy tale of the same name, this story deals with a dozen princesses who are taught royal etiquette by a duchess who does not believe in fun and games. Genevieve (played by that star of stage and screen, Barbie) and her sisters find a way to bring dancing and joy back into their lives. The glamorous Genevieve doll is sure to spark hours of imaginary playtime among girls, whether they’ve seen the movie or not. Genevieve’s skirt is a froth of pink and gold that actually spins and lights up! Her adorable little kitten accompanies Genevieve/Barbie, and is decked out in her own rose-colored gown and gold crown. Requires two "AAA" batteries (not included). Other sisters are sold separately. --Emilie Coulter

Customer Reviews

Beautiful dancing princess!
This doll is really pretty in person, and I am glad that I purchased her. However, younger children who want dolls that they can dress up may not like her because her clothes are not removable. The top might be (haven't tried yet), but the skirt is definitely NOT removable as it is attached to a plastic circle around the doll's waist that spins her skirt. One AAA battery for each leg of the doll (not included) causes the doll's skirt to spin and light up when the button on her leg is pressed and held down. Skirt spins really fast! It might have been neater if Mattel found a way to make her legs and/or body spin along with the skirt. Who heard of a ballerina whose skirt spins, but not her body?! But otherwise, a beautiful doll because of her dress, face, and curly hair.

-Luv it!!! -
I love this Barbie! As soon as i saw the movie, I really really wanted Genevieve! To my suprise, My dad bought it for me in a biusness trip. I havent even told him about it yet!!! Well, This barbie looks very very different from the picture. (in my opinion, she looks better.) I did get tywla, so I dont know what happened to the other reviewer's Barbie. By the Way, Tywla uis SUPER cute! She wears a pink tutu, and a crown, with a string behind it so you can hang it everyone! Genevieve wears a cute Rose Red Dress, that you can spin and light up when you press the button on her leg. Her arms have joints on them, so u can make her do different moves! Her shirt is removable, but her skirt is not. Her Shoes are pink with laces. The laces are not strings. They are plastic, Which is connected with the shoes. Anyway, She is SO PRETTY!!!!!!! She has a little glitter on her eyes, and glitter eye shadow, and pink lip gloss. Light, but CUTE! Overall, I lOVE Genevieve!!! (thanks dad!!!) Hope this Helps!!!

ok
my 31/2 year old loves the movie her dad bought her the doll and it quit spinning 2weeks later. shes very good with taking care of her barbies so it wasnt anything she did. also she wants to dress and undress the doll, but the skirt doesnt come off. pretty doll but not impressed with the spin. it would have been better as just a regular barbie. Mattel did send us a check in the mail to replace doll. so that put my faith back into mattel.
