Summaries. The widowed King Randolph enlists the help of his cousin to teach his daughters the proper royal etiquette. Instead, she bans all dancing in the palace. Can the twelve dancing princesses save the kingdom with their late mother's gift?
Popularity. Skipper Madison Roberts was the original little sister of Barbie, and has been quite popular over the years. When she first came out, she was an alternative for parents who did not approve of Barbie's adult figure.
The Barbie Doll Was Originally Supposed To Be 19-Years Old
Today, the doll itself is 64 years old; in 2023, Barbie would technically be 83 years old if she aged. However, toy company Mattel has said that she's perpetually frozen in time at the age of 19.
She is the eldest of King Randolph and the late Queen Isabella's twelve daughters, since she is the oldest she is the crowned princess or the heiress apparent to the throne. Ashlyn loves to play music, especially the flute. She and her little sisters all love ballet dancing.
Duchess Rowena, also simply known as Rowena, is a character and the main antagonist in the 2006 direct-to-video animated Barbie film Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses. She's summoned by her cousin, King Randolph, to turn his twelve daughters into proper young princesses.
Tutti is a discontinued character who was the younger sister of Barbie and Skipper during 1965 to 1971. Tutti also had a twin brother named "Todd" who, as well as her, character duration was from 1965 to 1971.
Yes, Barbie has never got married or had children - something that was apparently a very deliberate choice, with Ruth Handler not wanting young girls to aspire only to marriage and motherhood.
Kenneth Sean "Ken" Carson is a fashion doll introduced by American toy company Mattel in 1961 as the counterpart of Barbie, who was introduced two years earlier.
Ken's publicist was quoted as saying “She's done fashion, entertainment, and many careers and Ken has been there for her. And now they feel it's time to spend some quality time - apart.” By 2011 the pair had reunited just in time for Valentine's Day (and for their appearance in Toy Story 3).
In the nineties and the early part of the first millennial decade, Barbie had a toddler sister named Kelly. She looked like the doll on the left, only blonde and blue-eyed. Fast-forward to the current year, and Kelly is gone. She's morphed into a little girl named Chelsea (right).
A pregnant Midge and her husband, Allan, and their child. “Pregnant Barbie” is actually Margaret Hadley Sherwood, or Midge, as her friends call her. Midge was created to be a less glam, more relatable Barbie, per Buzzfeed News. The doll was launched in 1963 as Barbie's bestie.
Skipper Roberts is Barbie's OG sister, first introduced in 1964, and the Barbie sister mentioned in Gerwig's Barbie. She's the second-oldest sister in the Roberts family, at 14 years old, though she was originally introduced as an 8-year-old.
She has been an astronaut and a judge, but the character has never been marketed or sold as a mother. As Dr. Amanda Anthony has pointed out, the fact that Barbie hasn't been “specifically branded as mom isn't necessarily a negative thing, if you see it as being an alternative.”
Appearance. Chelsea is Barbie's 7 year old little sister. Chelsea is a small child sized doll with blue eyes and blonde hair, like her sister Barbie. In animation, she usually has pigtails.
Barbie's full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts. In a series of novels published by Random House in the 1960s, her parents' names are given as George and Margaret Roberts from the fictional town of Willows, Wisconsin.
