Known to Spanish-speaking audiences as "Barbie en las 12 Princesas Bailarinas," this film was the sixth entry in the franchise and the first to break the "prince saves princess" formula so completely.
For many Latin American and Spanish children, this was their first introduction to the idea that femininity (pink dresses, tiaras, ballet) and strength (defiance, resilience, leadership) are not opposites. You might notice the code "0035" in your topic header. For collectors, this is significant.
