Awaken your senses to the majesty of SLEEPING BEAUTY, Walt Disney's classic fairy tale. See more than you've ever seen before through the magic of state-of-the-art technology, and experience this groundbreaking film restored beyond its original brilliance, in the way Walt envisioned it pristine, beautiful, utterly breathtaking. SLEEPING BEAUTY will transform your home into a fantastic world your family will want to experience again and again.
In the original story, Princess Aurora sleeps for 100 years before being awakened by a prince's kiss. In the Disney version, Prince Philip comes to her rescue much sooner. George Brun's orchestral score, which was nominated for an Academy Award, expertly blended famous themes from Tchaikovsky's ballet. With a budget that exceeded $6 million in 1959, this was Walt Disney's most lavish and expensive animated feature to date. Determined to make the characters as realistic as possible, Disney had a live action film shot with actors posing as Sleeping Beauty, the Prince, and Maleficent, for the animators to use. New York Times critic Bosley Crowther called the fight between Prince Philip and Maleficent the noisiest and scariest go-round he (Disney) has ever put into one of his films.

happy Dec 02, 2008 My girls and I love watching Sleeping beauty. I think my oldest loves it a little too much because she wants to watch it every night before her bed time. The video with Emily Osment is beautiful.. I would recommend this DVD...
Now This Is A Restoration!Dec 02, 2008 For those who are not aware, there were very few movies (about 30) that were created on 70mm. The contrast and picture quality is stunning. Lawrence of Arabia is one of them. Problem is, VERY vew theaters are capable of playing 70mm and because of so few movies it isn't easy to arrange. But the scope and depth of picture quality outdid anything until digital came into picture.
For Disney to have mastered this from 70mm is stunning and the making of featurette is impressive. Gave me a new perspective on the film.
Worth buying this Christmas!
GreatDec 01, 2008 I received my movie in a timely manner and it's great!!! My lil lady gonna love this for xmas.. Thank you :)
Brought me right back to the first time I saw it in NYC!Nov 30, 2008 As wonderful and magical as it was the first time I saw it with my big sister, feeling very grown up and traveling to NYC to see this fantastic movie.
Sleeping Beauty (Two-Disc Platinum Edition) Nov 29, 2008 This was my favorite movie when I was a little girl because the princess's name is the same as mine. =-) I also enjoyed the tour through the castle. I'd forgotten all about that and it brought back some wonderful childhood memories. "Meh" for the rest of the extras but the movie is gorgeous and the artwork still holds up today.
