Being that the studio has tried to give their Disney princesses more agency in their stories, perhaps a hypothetical movie or show adaptation could have the twelve princesses at the forefront of the tale. The next morning the soldier tells the King and presents the evidence, ending the story of him marrying the eldest daughter.Īdapting The Twelve Dancing Princesses can propose many benefits and difficulties for Disney. For three nights, the soldier follows the princesses and collects evidence of their whereabouts. An old soldier takes up the challenge and pretends to fall asleep at night, finding the princesses go through a trapdoor in their rooms, and he follows them into an otherworldly place. The King promises that anyone who can figure out the reason why will be rewarded by marrying any of his daughters and succeeding him after he dies. In the original fairy tale, the King wants to know why his twelve daughters’ shoes are always worn out despite them not leaving their rooms at night. Though, many might be most familiar with the story through one of Mattel Entertainment’s popular Barbie animated movies Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses. The fairy tale has been adapted and re-imaged before through other mediums. However, in May 2021 it was reported by the DisInsider that the project was scrapped.Īnother fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm is The Twelve Dancing Princesses. In 2016, it was announced that Disney would be doing a live-action movie about Snow White’s sister called Rose Red which would have connected the two characters. With the success of Disney’s Frozen about the love between two sisters, there could be a possibility that the studio could one day try adapting Snow White and Red Rose telling somewhat of a similar angle.

The story ends with the death of the dwarf, breaking the spell that turns the bear back into a prince, and the sisters going on to live with him in his palace. Their kindness comes into play in the fairy tale as the sisters offer shelter to a bear throughout the winter and protect him in the summer from an evil dwarf. Unrelated to the fairy tale Snow White, Snow White and Rose Red is a story about two young sisters who differ from each other personality-wise except when it comes to being kind-hearted. Surprisingly, though, the Brothers Grimm has a story about another Snow White that has yet to be given the Disney-fied movie treatment. It’s no secret that Disney often adapts most of their movies from the Brother Grimms’ collection of fairy tales with Snow White being the most well-known example and next in line for the studio to remake the classic animated story in live action.
