When I was a little girl my favourite movie from Disney was Sleeping Beauty. The idea of Prince Phillip waking her with a kiss after defeating the dragon was truly magical! The beautiful princess was loved by so many in her kingdom it was a fairy tale many young girls dreamed about. When I became mom and had my own girls I could not wait to share this movie with them. I actually took my three oldest to see Sleeping Beauty in live theatre and my boys loved it! It was not until this new copy on Blu-ray arrived that I realized my five year old had never seen this classic before. She of course knows who Princess Aurora is and knows the story from books and the park. But had never actually seen the Sleeping Beauty movie before. I was so excited to watch it with her. Of course she loved it!
“Sleeping Beauty” tells the wondrous tale of a princess cursed by an evil fairy, protected by three loving fairies and, ultimately, saved by “true love’s kiss.” Featuring the voice talents of renowned opera singer Mary Costa as Sleeping Beauty and Disney stalwart Eleanor Audley as the evil fairy, Maleficent, the film’s vibrant visuals were created by a team that included Milt Kahl and Ollie Johnston, two of Disney’s legendary Nine Old Men and an Academy Award®-nominated score, 1959, adapted from the incandescent music of Peter Tchaikovsky. “Sleeping Beauty” is the sixteenth animated feature in the Disney animated features canon and was the last animated feature produced by Walt Disney to be based upon a fairy tale. It is the tenth film released as part of Disney’s prestigious Blu-ray Diamond Collection.
