Welcome TO Sleeping Beauty
Sleeping
Beauty is a 1959 animated feature produced by Walt Disney and
originally released to theatres on January 29, 1959, by Buena
Vista Distribution. The sixteenth animated feature in the Disney
animated features canon, it was the last animated feature
produced by Walt Disney to be based upon a fairy tale (after his
death, the studio returned to the genre with 1989's The Little
Mermaid). In addition, Sleeping Beauty was the first animated
feature to be shot in Super Technirama 70, one of many
large-format widescreen processes. Only one more animated film,
The Black Cauldron, was ever shot in Super Technirama 70.
The film was directed by Les Clark, Eric Larson, and Wolfgang
Reitherman, under the supervision of Clyde Geronimi. The film
was based on the fairy tale Sleeping Beauty by Charles Perrault,
with additional story work by Joe Rinaldi, Winston Hibler, Bill
Peet, Ted Sears, Ralph Wright, and Milt Banta. The film's
musical score and songs, featuring the work of the Berlin
Symphony Orchestra, are inspired from the 1890 Sleeping Beauty
ballet by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
Princess Aurora is named after the Roman goddess of the dawn
"because she fills her father and mother's lives with sunshine."
While still an infant, she is betrothed to the also-young Prince
Phillip, son and heir to King Hubert's throne. At her
christening, the good fairies Flora (dressed in red/pink),
Merryweather (in blue), and Fauna (in green) arrive to bless
her. Flora gives her the gift of beauty, which is described in a
song as "gold of sunshine in her hair" and "lips that shame the
red, red rose." Fauna gives her the gift of song .At this point,
Maleficent, the film's villain and Mistress of All Evil, appears
on the scene.
Claiming to be upset at not being invited to Aurora's
christening ceremony, she curses the princess to die when she
touches a spinning wheel's spindle before the sun sets on her
sixteenth birthday. Fortunately, Merryweather has not yet
blessed Aurora, so she uses her blessing to weaken Maleficent's
curse: Aurora will not die when she touches the spinning wheel,
instead, she will fall asleep until she is awakened by true
love's kiss. In addition, Aurora's father, King Stefan, orders
all spinning wheels in the kingdom burned, but knowing
Maleficent is extremely powerful and will stop at nothing to see
her curse fulfilled, the three good fairies take Aurora to live
with them in the woods, where they can keep her safe from any
harm until she turns sixteen and the curse is made void. To
fully protect her, they even change her name to Briar Rose.
Rose grows into a very beautiful young woman, barefoot, with
long golden yellow hair, rose-colored lips, lilac-colored eyes,
and a marvelous singing voice, 'with golden sunshine in her hair
and lips that shame the red red rose'. She, although very
beautiful and sweet, does not care for her appearance but she
hopes that someday "her song will go winging" to a handsome man.
She is raised in a cottage in the forest by the three fairies,
who she believes are her aunts. Meanwhile, the evil creatures
employed by Maleficent admit to their mistress that they have
not been able to find the princess, despite looking in every
cradle they could find. Maleficent realizes that they have been
looking for a baby for 16 years and sends her "last hope," her
pet raven Diablo, to look for Aurora. On the day of her
sixteenth birthday, the three fairies choose to use magic to
make Rose a gown and a cake.
As Flora and Merryweather fight it out to have the dress their
signature color, Maleficent's raven flies over the forest and
spots the magical glitter fluttering in the air and reports back
to Maleficent. While out picking berries, Rose sings to
entertain her animal friends; her angelic voice gains the
attention of Prince Phillip, who has grown into a handsome young
man and is out riding his horse in the woods. When they meet,
they instantly fall in love. Realizing that she has to return
home, Aurora flees from Phillip without ever learning his name.
Despite promising to meet him again, she is unable to return, as
her "aunts" choose that time to reveal the truth of her birth to
her and to tell her that she is betrothed to a prince named
Phillip.
They leave the woods, and Aurora makes it into the palace.
Unfortunately, Maleficent uses her magic to lure Aurora away
from her chambers up into the tallest tower of the palace, where
a spinning wheel awaits her. Fascinated by the wheel, she
touches the spindle, pricking her finger. As had been foretold
by the curse, Aurora is put under a sleeping spell. The good
fairies place Aurora on a bed with a red rose in her hand, and
cause a deep sleep to fall over the entire kingdom "until Rose
awakens."
While doing so, they realize, from King Hubert trying to tell
King Stefan that his son is in love with a peasant-girl, that
the young man Aurora had fallen in love with is Prince Phillip.
Unfortunately, he has been bound, gagged, and captured by
Maleficent and imprisoned in her castle to prevent him from
kissing Aurora and waking her up. The three good fairies sneak
into Maleficent's lair, The Forbidden Mountain, aid the prince
in escaping and explain to him the story of Maleficent's curse.
Armed with the magical Sword of Truth and The Shield of Virtue,
Phillip battles Maleficent when the sorceress turns herself into
a gigantic fire-breathing dragon. The sword, blessed by the
fairies' magic, is plunged into the dragon's heart, killing her.
Phillip climbs to Aurora's chamber, and removes the curse with a
kiss. As the film ends, the prince and princess both happily
learn that their betrothed and their beloved are one and the
same, and they dance a waltz.
Fauna comments how she loves happy endings, but Merryweather and
Flora squabble over
the color of Aurora's dress once again,
adding to the humour.
