Disney's 1959 animated effort was the studio's most ambitious to date, a widescreen spectacle boasting a gorgeous waltz-filled score adapting Tchaikovsky. In the 14th century, the malevolent Maleficent (not dissimilar to the wicked Queen in Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs) taunts a king that his infant Aurora will fatally prick her finger on a spinning wheel before sundown on her 16th birthday. This, of course, would deny her a happily-ever-after with her true love. Things almost but not quite turn out that way, thanks to the assistance of some bubbly, bumbling fairies named Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather. It's not really all that much about the title character--how interesting can someone in the middle of a long nap be, anyway? Instead, those fairies carry the day, as well as, of course, good Prince Phillip, whose battle with the malevolent Maleficent in the guise of a dragon has been co-opted by any number of animated films since. See it in its original glory here. And Malificent's castle, filled with warthogs and demonic imps in a macabre dance celebrating their evil ways, manages a certain creepy grandeur. --David Kronke

 Disney Has Done It Again! November 11, 2009
S. Hinkle (Arkansas)
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 Restoration November 9, 2009
Kayla Rachelle Glass (Orange, CA)
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 Movie November 5, 2009
Frances Deane (Stockton, CA)
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 boring October 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 Movie October 5, 2009
TaRan (Newport News, VA)
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.
