I've only ever seen the Barbie version of this. It's interesting to find out the origin of the story.

[nocturnalanimals]

Only know this story because of the barbie movie lmao

[Tinynezuko]

When the only version of The 12 Dancing Princess you know is the Barbie one😂

[sydney-allyson]

why'd i think he was going to talk about the barbie movie

[calebgoodman]

Thing is, Lullabies and Children’s Fables were meant to scare children into behaving.

[addyturner]

They made a Barbie movie based on the first story.

Does anyone else remember that?

The first time I heard the story of the 12 dancing princesses was in a barbie movie

[caitlyn]

As a German I knew about the first story of the brothers Grimm and the Barbie one. It’s always funny to me to see how many people are shocked by the “horrific” stories I read as a 5 year old and liked without thinking twice about it hahahah

I loved this movie as a kid. My sister owned the Barbie movie and we watched it 24/7

[veggiesaurusfandomtrash]

“The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Beginning” seems to be a version of this folktale. There are 12 merisisters (I think?) and they go to an underground party when music is outlawed

My dude what is your skin care routine, you always have such a clear face

[katlynroseanne]

I remember the original version being just like the first version you covered... but around the time they were dancing with the princes the soldier that followed them saw that the princes, trees, and everything was fake, and they were actually in hell. He then warned the princesses, they ran, they were chased, they got to the surface, told the king (proved it with the silver leaves) and the king did some kind of religious thing that kept the demons in hell (there was no murder of the princesses). Then the soldier got the girl, happy ending, etc.

But Jon, you forgot my favourite version of the story...
Barbie in the 12 dancing princesses...
