Average Rating: Rating: - A medieval tapestry of love and hate. Walt Disney's Sleeping Beauty, while being one of the few Disney features to be shot in 2.35:1 widescreen aspect ratio, is also one of its most ambitious and lush projects to date. The classic story of the princess Aurora, hidden from the evil clutches of Malificent in a forest cottage with three fairies, is brought to life with beautiful animation matched only by that of Beauty and the Beast. The songs, most of which are taken from the classical score by Tchaikowsky's ballad, sweep the viewer into a lush and sometimes gothic epitaph that never fails to bring each character, as well as their surroundings, to life. I'm pleading with Disney to please bring this movie out on DVD so that everyone can enjoy the widescreen release of this totally enthralling film. Rating: - The most beautiful Disney film ever made "Sleeping Beauty" is a classic, needless to say. It's a wonderful romantic fairy tale story brought to the screen with fantastically realistic animation, haunting and melodic Tchaikovsky music, humor, and gorgeous backdrops. The most extraordinary thing about this animated film is that no computers were used. Every pose was hand-drawn and painted (remember when animated films were drawn by hand?), and transferred to 70 mm, another first for a Disney film. This is guaranteed to make a great transition to DVD. The restored version on VHS is already beautiful and it's not even in widescreen. Not only can I not wait to see the film in its original format, but I also look forward to also seeing other documentaries about the process of making the movie and why it is still timeless today. Hopefully they'll produce a disk or two similar to the one they made for "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," celebrating the debut of a landmark animated film on DVD. If only studio execs would get cracking! 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.
