A beautiful Disney film. I have to say, I could really feel the Disney magic and charm when I watched this film. I absolutely love it, it is a timeless classic. It has a wonderful soundtrack which was adapted from the Tchaikovsky score and classic Disney songs that everyone knows the words to! The story revolves around the Princess Aurora, who at her birth receives presents from the good fairies of wit and beauty, but the wicked fairy who is angry at not being invited to the birth puts an enchantment on the Princess that she will prick her finger on a spindle on reaching adulthood and die. Although the spell can't be reversed, the good fairies manage to alter the spell so that she won't die, but fall in to a deep sleep until awoken by the kiss of a Prince. Of course, she pricks her finger on a spindle, despite the Kingdom burning 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.
