every spindle that they have. And Aurora falls asleep, waiting for her Prince to come and wake her up?
The film is animated beautifully and really has that Disney charm. No wonder Aurora is one of the popular Disney princesses even today!
The bonus features on the dvd are really good. I recently used it when I was babysitting and the kids absolutely loved the feature where you can colour in your favourite characters. Also included on the extra features is an original artwork gallery which is really interesting.
This is a great family dvd for all ages (thought I think girls would enjoy it more), and a great one for a dvd collection that you will want to watch again. I recommend it. ...
Advantages: Clean and tidy and very friendly. Disadvantages: No restaurant.
Around four months ago I travelled to London to do a photo shoot, I was very excited as I had been out of modelling for a while but I was also very nervous as I had not worked with the photographer before and was staying in a hotel I had never used before also. The shoot went very well and the hotel I stayed in was beautiful so all was good in the end.
The hotel in question was the SleepingBeauty Hotel; Ciao has called it the sleepingbeauty motel but it was definitely hotel on the brochure, anyway never mind. The hotel is situated in Leyton which is in the East of London, so not a hotel you would be likely to use for a typical sightseeing holiday to London as you are well away from the attractions.
Nearby the hotel is a KFC, a Wetherspoon`s bar, a Tesco store and a closed down Woolworths, so nothing too exciting but this was ...
Advantages: Simply Disney Disadvantages: You may wear the DVD out.
When someone says SleepingBeauty my first thought is the ballet. I saw the Royal Ballet perform SleepingBeauty a few years ago at the ENO whilst the ROH was being refurbished and it was magical. I completly forgot Disneys classic, although I must have watched it a hundred times as a child, how soon we forget but how lovely to discover again.
So how does a cartoon compare to to the Ballet, quite simply it doesn't and shouldn't.
In time honoured fashion the Disney Film captures the story with all the elements you'd expect. Fantastic score which you just can't help singing along to, loveable characters and sinister characters. The story is told with all the flair and artistry one comes to not only expect but is an absolute must from Disney.
Young or old this is a film that could quite easily keep you entertained for an hour ...
