the best of the best!Oct 22, 2004
By Byron Kolln
THE DANCING PRINCESSES surely ranks as one of the finer entries in the FAERIE TALE THEATRE series. It features the beautiful Lesley Ann Warren as well as a sweeping and delightful musical score.
The story is about the daughters of a widowed King (Roy Dotrice) who somehow wear out their dance-slippers every night despite being locked in their room until morning. The secret is not discovered until a crafty soldier (Peter Weller) follows them and finds that they go dancing in a fairy-kingdom under the ground.
This must surely be my favourite, because its everything a fairytale should be; romantic, funny, sad and incredibly-entertaining. Lesley Ann Warren looks luminous and has a remarkable chemistry with Peter Weller.
The story also features Sachi Parker (the beautiful and talented daughter of Shirley MacLaine) as the comical youngest princess; as well as Zelda Rubinstein (Tangina from the POLTERGEIST trilogy).
Most FAERIE TALE THEATRE fans single out this episode as their all-time favourite (with TALE OF THE FROG PRINCE coming a close second). This was actually the final episode ever made of FTT.

Faerie Tale Theatre on DVD!Sep 17, 2004
By Heidi Anne Heiner
After years of waiting, Faerie Tale Theatre fans can finally own the series on DVD. Shelley Duvall's series originally appeared on Showtime 20 years ago and featured well-known and rising stars of the time. The series' enthusiastic interpretations of beloved fairy tales has made it a cult classic. Better yet, the DVD prices are affordable, especially after the high prices the used VHS copies have been earning in recent years.
About this episode:
The Dancing Princesses is one of the best episodes from Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre. When six princesses wear out their new dancing shoes every night while locked in their bedroom, their father the king is determined to learn the cause. Only a humble soldier is able to solve the puzzle.
Cast:
Lesley Ann Warren ... Genetta
Peter Weller ... Soldier
Roy Dotrice ... King
Starr Andreeff ... Dinetta
Laura Harrington ... Coretta
Sachi Parker ... Loretta
Viveca Parker ... Musetta
Lora Staley ... Wanetta
Ian Abercrombie ... The Cobbler
Zelda Rubinstein ... Old Woman

Faerie Tale Theatre: The Dancing PrincessesFeb 11, 2004
By Clob Lane
Often said to be the best episode from Faerie Tale Theatre, this is an excellent version of the Twelve Dancing Princesses. Lesley Ann Warren is truly great as the oldest princess with the sweet, strong personality. Peter Weller does a wonderful job as the soldier and Roy Dotrice is superb as the kind but grouchy old father. It was nice to see Poltergeist's little psychic Zelda Rubinstein in another role, even though it is quite small. Great sets, costumes, script, actors and music score.

Enchanting MovieMay 09, 2004
By L. Jakubowski
The dancing princesses is one of the best stories out of the faerie tale theatre collection. It was my favorite movie when I was a girl. It's such a shame though that they no longer have these available for purchase though. I would certainly buy the series.
