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.

Disney Has Done It Again!Nov 11, 2009 I collect the Disney Classics and this new Blu-Ray did not dissapoint. It was beautifully remastered in both picture quality and audio. The colors are so amazing in this upgrade and the characters we fell in love with as children are just as grand as they once were. This is a wonderful gift idea for anyone. Highly recommend!
A Magical RestorationNov 09, 2009 It wasn't until a friend of mine showed me the restored version of this particular Disney classic that I realized what wonders it really does for an older animated film.
Sleeping Beauty is brought back to life in this platinum edition with fully restored color and special features disc.
A great investment for sure, and nothing beats having the ability to watch the classic magic of Disney at your fingertips.
Classic Disney MovieNov 05, 2009 My granddaughter is 2 years old and she has watched Sleeping Beauty so many times she has memorized some of the scenes! We recently bought a Blu-ray player and purchased this new DVD and the color is spectacular. This is still a classic Disney movie for everyone.

Actually, this is pretty boringOct 15, 2009 I bought this for my daughter, thinking this would be a fun family-night movie. I'll admit I don't particularly love the "princess" genre of Disney movie, and this met my low expectations. I'm sorry I bought it because I doubt my daughter will ever want to watch it again.
Classic MovieOct 05, 2009 This is a wonderful movie and the restored version is crisp, clean and superbly crafted. This was an excellent purchase. The blu-ray version of Sleeping Beauty was money well spent.
