“Dancing Cinderella encompasses our goal to make the Disney Princesses come 'to
life' in a very 'magical' and 'visual' way for the little girl, said Lori Farbanish, Vice

Brand is where dreams begin; it’s about adventure, fantasy and magic for little girls
everywhere, said Farbanish.

gown. By pressing the jewel on Cinderella’s tiara, a little girl can make Cinderella
twirl to the music! Disney Princess Dancing Cinderella will be available in Fall 2003
at a suggested retail of $34.99. It will be supported by national TV media campaign
that will air during the holiday selling season.

Slumber Party for Two and Little Snow White Garden Party for Two are two new
additions to our award winning Little Princesses line. The Disney Little Princesses

will introduce 4 new Figure Packs into the current assortment.

Playsets are interactive, fairytale environments that feature a special Magic Talk
Prince and Princess together. Through Playmates intelli-tronic technology, little
girls can hear the figures come to life through speech when placed in any of these
interactive environments. In Fall 2003, the Enchanted Forest playset featuring
Sleeping Beauty and her Prince, will be added into the current playset assortment:
Celebration at Sea and the Royal Garden.
Magic Talk Deluxe Playset Assortment. The newest among the Deluxe Magic
Talk playsets is the Royal Wedding Coach. The Royal Wedding Coach features
Cinderella and Prince Charming on their wedding day and is the first vehicle Magic
