I alway's awaited the day when my favorite movies would be on TV and Sleeping Beauty had to be one of them. My favorite Disney film until The Rescuers was released is still a favorite of mine. The animation is spectacular & the villin Malificent is the most evil and terrifing Disney villin ever. The story takes place in a magical medievil kingdom where King Stephan & his Queen have just been given the gift of a baby which they named Aurora. During the celbration of her birth the three good faries Flora, Fauna, & Merryweather bestow gifts upon the tiny princess. But before Merryweather can say her gift the evil fariy Malificent crashes the party she then places a curse upon the child that before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday she shall prick her finger on a spinning wheel & die.After she vanishes Merryweather gives her gift that when her finger does prick the spindle of the spinning wheel that instead of dying she will fall into sleep which only true loves first kiss will awaken her. The three faries then decide to bring up the young princess in the forest until after her birthday. Sworn off magic & a new name for the princess (Rose) as the only means to her protection. Rose is strictly forbiddon to talk to strangers but when she meets Prince Phillip in the forest she falls in love not knowing that he is the prince she is to be married to. When Malificent finds the princess she has to use all her powers in order to put Aurora to sleep and keep Phillip from finding her. Amazing Animation, Excellent voice talents, & Spectacular Songs give this film the edge of all other Disney films.
Rating: - Maleficent, You're Magnificent!
I have watched this film countless times with my daughter, and find it to be one of the most beautiful drawn Disney features to date.The fourteenth century is the backdrop for King Stephan and his queen to introduce baby princess Aurora to the world. While she is being blessed by the 3 good fairies, Flora, Fauna, and the adorably chubby and rambunctious Merryweather, Maleficent rears her most intriguing, green pointed head. Angry about not being invited to the gathering, she bestows an evil curse upon the newborn, to "prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel, and DIE". This to happen before sundown on he sixteeth birthday. .............. The tale is beautifully spun among lushly drawn surroundings populated with one of a kind characters. Aurora is beautiful and innocent in the face of impending danger, King Hubert's son Prince Phillip is one of the most handsome princes. The three fairies who guard and raise Aurora in secret to protect her whereabouts from Maleficent, are lots of adorable fun. Speaking of Maleficent, she is probably my favorite Disney villain of all time, tied perhaps, with Snow Whites' "Old Hag", who is hideously hard to beat in the villain realm. ................... "Sleeping Beauty" is a quality Disney classic that has stood the test of time. I highly reccommend this entry is Disney's vast filmography for children, and their significant elders, to enjoy again, and again.
