3 Reasons To buy this film

  • 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.
  • 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."

Review

A major achievement in the art of animation, Walt Disney's classic Sleeping Beauty is the story of the beautiful Princess Aurora who provokes the jealousy of the wicked fairy Maleficent. A trio of good fairies try to protect the Princess - but even their magic is no match for the Mistress of all Evil and Aurora falls into an enchanted slumber. The heroic Prince Phillip must battle a ferocious fire-breathing dragon if he is to wake the Princess from her eternal slumber. With a score by Tchaikovsky, this is a Disney masterpiece.
