Believing in oneself and persevering in the face of difficulties is challenging whether you're a princess or an everyday person. In the two stories included in Follow Your Dreams, Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty and Princess Jasmine from Aladdin discover that they must work hard and believe in their abilities if they are to reach the goals they've set for themselves. When Princess Aurora is put in charge of the kingdom for the day, the workload proves impossibly huge and the villagers' many problems seem too difficult for her to solve. Resorting to some magical help from the fairy Merryweather seems like the perfect answer, but in the end Princess Aurora's own hard work and ingenuity prove far more effective than magic. When Princess Jasmine yearns for something important to do with her life, her father gives her a position in the local school, but it proves much more challenging than she ever could have imagined. Add in an escaped wild horse and the prospect of letting her father down and Princess Jasmine feels overwhelmed and ready to give up. Can perseverance and hard work help Princess Jasmine realize her dreams? This nicely animated presentation features two favorite Disney Princesses, lots of new songs, and great messages about the value of self-confidence, hard work, and perseverance. (Ages 3 to 7) --Tami Horiuchi

Great for your toddler princesses - Rating: 5/5
My 2 girls (4 1/2 and 2 1/2 years old) both love this DVD. Most "featured" Disney DVDs are too scary for my girls (at least they think they are). So this was perfect for them - nothing scary at all. I would agree they could have had 1 more princess story.
Great movie for the princess lovers in your home! - Rating: 5/5
I purchased this movie for my girls (2 and 4 years old) and they love it! We watch it over and over. Actually better than I expected.
with Retail of $26.99 I expected a lot more - Rating: 2/5
Sorry I read many of the positive reviews and although I thought these were empowering tales (not "Follow You Dreams" tales), I didn't find them any better than the TV series that have been on Disney over the years. Some of the Aladdin tales have great stories envolving Jasmine that are just as good. As many of the other reviewer have said, this is a direct to video so I didn't expect the quality of theater released but for me it wasn't up to DVD release.
Probably because it isn't a feature they ended up with only 55 minutes & 34 seconds of story including over 30 seconds of introduction to each of the 2 stories. So the actual stories are 25 minutes and 30 minutes long. In the VHS tapes of PRINCESS Collection you get 44 minutes and 2 stories. I bought some of these at $9 when they came out and this DVD is comprable in quality and length. You can buy these VHSes still. Just like this DVD, they are really for the younger crowd unlike the movies.
As for the direct to video not being of good quality, most might not be theatrical quality but I really think there are some great ones out there like- The Lion King sequels, Patch's London Adventure, BB, the Enchanted Christmas, Aladdin King of Theives (though Jafar stunk, lacking Robin Williams), Winnie the Pooh sequels, Mickey's Once upon a Christmas, Brother Bear 2 (possibly better than the first), etc.. This film is not one of them. It is up to TV quality, no better.
For the $26.99 list retail and $20 average, now 17.95 on Amazon, this film should been either better quality, better stories, or more stories. The extras, like many said, are not worth mentioning. I bought this for $18 and I don't think it is worth $9 unless your little one really likes the princesses. Wait for price to come down.
Not worth it - Rating: 1/5
This is quite possibly the biggest disappointment Disney has ever put out. I bought this for my daughter expecting a pretty good assortment of short stories for her to watch. I put it in and found out that it only contained two little thirty minute stories that were hardly interesting. I could not believe that this DVD that retails for about $20 was only an hour long! Disney movies are always pretty high priced, but this is the first time I've ever felt ripped off by them. I wish I could return it. Don't waste your money.
Disney Princess Enchanted Tales DVD - Rating: 5/5
As usual, my purchase from Amazon arrived right on time and in excellent condition. I was so pleased, as was my granddaughter. I love Amazon!
