Sleeping Beauty (1959)


One of my all time favorite Disney movies, of course there’s very few Disney movies I don’t like, especially the classics. Based on the ballet inspired by the classic fairy tale, the movie tells the story of Aurora, cursed at birth to prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and fall into a death like sleep until she is awaken by true love’s first kiss. She is raised by Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather in the forest until her sixteenth birthday. There she is kept away from Maleficent, the mistress of all evil. I always got the impression that Merryweather got stuck doing all the housework, cooking, and sewing since everyone else didn’t seem to have a clue. It has great music, the same music tunes as the original ballet, Disney just added the words! A true Disney classic.
