Sleeping Beauty (DVD)

When I was younger, and even now, I have always prefered the Disney films which have an animal as its central character. However I did like the Disney Princess ones if not as much, and my favourite was definitely Sleeping Beauty. Plot: Sleeping Beauty is about a Princess named Aurora who, on her birth, is curced by evil Maleficent. She will prick her finger on her sixteenth birthday and will be killed. Though when that time came, Aurora's three fairy friends: Fauna, Merryweather and Flora, weakened the curse so that she would only fall into a deep sleep. To awake her she would need a kiss from a Prince... Characters: Aurora is quite a ...  Read the complete review

There is just something comfy and nostalgic about watching a good Disney classic. This is one of my favorite Disney movies, okay come to think of it I like them all (the older ones at least). Me, my mom, and my sister are actually all dressing up as Disney gals for Halloween soon (check for pic around Halloween). I am going to be Princess Aurora aka Briar Rose from Sleeping Beauty! My mom is being Snow White and my sister is being Alice in Wonderland. I decided to blow the dust off my Sleeping Beauty movie today and watch it. I discovered that I still like this movie as much as I did the first time I watched it. This is a classic movie from 1959 that is still ...  Read the complete review

**Please note this is a film only review, since I own this on VHS** Like many people my age, I grew up watching Disney films, when they were still making the old-school cartoon animations. Sleeping Beauty was already a classic well before my birth though, having been released in 1959. Now that I have a daughter, I often pick up Disney Videos from charity shops, and watching them with her has brought back some wonderful memories . It's hard to believe that this film is 50 years old - maybe because the story is a classic fairytale that never gets old . Now, since it is a classic fairytale, I'm sure you've all read it, been told it, or ...  Read the complete review

Sleeping Beauty has to be my all time favourite Disney film, possibly my all time favourite film. As a Disney film it is primarily aimed at children, but it's very enjoyable for adults and anyone who likes a romantic film. The plot is simple so that children will understand and enjoy it. The quality of the cartoon is very good considering it was made in the 1950s, and it is still very watchable today. Admittedly, it is without the computer graphics etc of kids films now, but it doesn't look out of date at all. The story begins soon after Sleeping Beauty (Aurora) is born, and her parents, the King and Queen, are introducing their kingdom to her. ...  Read the complete review
