Sleeping Beauty has long been one of my favourite Disney films from when I was growing up and to this day I still love all the Disney films! Sleeping Beauty is the 16th animated film that was made by Disney and I will share with you why I think it is so good and much loved!
The story: Sleeping Beauty follows the tale of Aurora - baby Princess to King Stefan and his wife. When she is born they throw a huge party to celebrate and to this party comes the Prince Phillip, the Prince she will marry and the three good fairies, Fauna, Flora and Merryweather. The three good fairies give gifts to the Princess but unhappy with the arrival of the Princess the evil witch Maleficent decides to pay a visit and give her own gift - that the princess will prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die on her 16th birthday - she tells them the only way she will live is if she is kissed by her true love. Horrified the King and Queen decide to let Aurora be brought up by the three fairies deep in the woods and burn all the spinning wheels in the land.
Years later on her 16th birthday, the Princess is happily off out into the woods to pick fruit sent out by the three fairies who she thinks are her Aunts and in the woods she meets Phillip - both unaware of who each other is they fall in love. However when her Aunts later on reveal who she really is and take her back to the castle to her parents the evil witch find her and follow her there.
Will the evil witch be able to carry off her evil plan and will Prince Phillip and Aurora finally realise who each other is?
The cast: Obviously the cast is animated but the voices of the characters are done by real people and the main characters and who did their voices are listed below:
Aurora - Mary Costa Phillip - Bill Shirley Fauna - Barbara Jo Allen Merryweather - Barbara Luddy Flora - Verna Felton Malecifent - Eleanor Audley
Interesting fact: Several of the story's point for this film came about from discarded ideas from Snow White.
The castle in Disneyworld was so called Sleeping Beauty's castle even though the park opened 4 years before the release of the film.
Extras: The DVD I have comes with a variety of extras which include - The making of Sleeping Beauty Character Design galleries Ink and paint studio Rescue Aurora adventure game Art attack Production studio
Overall opinion: The reason I like this film so much is because it is the classic fairytale. The film really appeals to young girls especially, who will want to be a beautiful princess! The film has all the usual Disney aspects you'd expect from a classic like this with the songs that children come to know. This particular film has the song 'once upon a dream' I love how the film has the cute animals in and let's face it what classic Disney film doesn't? The fairies are cute and humorous and overall it is just a perfect fairytale story with the Prince and Princess. I would highly recommend anyone to watch this film as it's something the whole family can enjoy together. The film has 'U' rating meaning it is suitable for all ages. The film is available to buy from various online stores with prices varying so have a look around for the best deal - I was bought my copy as a present but after having a look prices seem around the £12 mark.
Also on other review sites by me under either frankiecesca or frankie1984.
