Reviews

Teodora Sleeping Beauty is based on Sleeping Beauty by Charles Perrault.Animation is very good.Music always makes me smile.This movie also has my favourite Disney villain,an evil fairy Maleficent.She is so elegant,but at the same time very evil and makes you afraid of her(her fairy tale counterperant is not as evil).It also helps that she is voiced wonderfully by Eleanor Audley,who had tuberculosis while filming this ,which makes it quite hard considering who much Maleficent laughs.A very pretty movie that will make you smile.

Jesper Brun Sleeping Beauty is one of those animated Disney movies with some of the best elements ever created by them and at the same time it has drawbacks which stick out like sore thumb. But the greatness of the good stuff is so overwhelming and magical that you would be an asshole not to judge its greatness. Along with Bambi, Sleeping Beauty has the most gorgeous forest landscapes and a colour palette which demonstrates how much colour adds to the mood and impression of differen places, from the green and black of Maleficent's lair and her minions to the pastel colours of Aurora's castle. Speaking of Maleficent, she is bloody brilliant in almost every way. Of the fantasy based Disney villains she and The Horned King are my favourites. The Horned King's design surely is based on her's ;) About the characters: that's one of the movie's most polarising aspect, because the fairy godmothers are great and have the best lines in the movie along with Maleficent. The prince and Aurora are so boring! Our main characters barely say anything through out the movie, Aurora is put to sleep so she is forgiven, but the prince doesn't even utter a single line after saying "goodbye father" and goes out to fight Maleficent. Yeah, that's a major drawback, but everything else is so amazing that it outweighs the obvious flaws. If you like exeptional artwork, great music, entertaining side characters and all power of hell brought to you by The Queen of Darkness herself then you definitely must see Disney's Sleeping Beauty.

Hitchcoc Disney did so many great things that, for me, some don't quite catch me. Maybe it's the story. Maybe it's the music. Maybe it's a simple lack of the edginess that many of the great one's films often have, but there is something that isn't quite as sharp in this one. Also, I feel the animation isn't as crisp as many of the other films. The story, of course, is that a poor young woman is doomed to sleep for many years after a witch has been crossed. It's an example of how you can do everything you can, but fate steps in and messes with you. But it's a fairy tale that we all know, and things will eventually be dealt with. I feel very positively about this movie; it's just not my favorite. Hooray for Tchaikovsky.

Aeonar One of the most famous (and beautiful) adaptations of the classic Grimm fairy tale, "Sleeping Beauty" remains a Disney masterpiece. Funny, romantic, scary and magical, this animated film creates an enchanting picture of Medieval Europe (probably Germany) that resembles the Gothic artistic movement, enriched with music inspired by Tchaikovsky's ballet. "Sleeping Beauty" touches themes such as love, hope and the perennial battle between the forces of Good and Evil. Although it is not similar to the latest Disney films that present independent, emancipated women, it is, nonetheless, an exciting artistic creation that has received a place among the films that comprise the Golden Age of the cinematic (animation) world.
