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

 A classic November 21, 2008
Love this movie and I do not see any problem with the dragon slaying prince, the pretty princess and the evil witch! I think Disney has made a huge mistake staying away from classic fairy tales. There's nothing wrong with having classic stories being animated.
Anyways, the digital remaster looks fabulous and the 2nd disk really helps kids enjoy the movie more.
Sleeping Beauty November 21, 2008
This movie is just beautiful, and the 2 disk set has wonderful extras. I especially enjoyed the Grand Canyon Suite, and seeing how the movie was made.
