When I was a little girl I remember being completely entranced with Disney’s Sleeping Beauty.
The baby princess, the fairies, the forest, the prince. I could go on and on.
I’m so happy that today, October 7, Sleeping Beauty comes out on Blu-Ray and DVD.
{Synopsis}
“Sleeping Beauty” tells the wondrous tale of a princess cursed by an evil fairy, protected by three loving fairies and, ultimately, saved by “true love’s kiss.” Featuring the voice talents of renowned opera singer Mary Costa as SleepingBeauty and Disney stalwart Eleanor Audley as the evil fairy, Maleficent, the film’s vibrant visuals were created by a team that included Milt Kahl and Ollie Johnston, two of Disney’s legendary Nine Old Men and an Academy Award®-nominated score, 1959, adapted from the incandescent music of Peter Tchaikovsky. “Sleeping Beauty” is the sixteenth animated feature in the Disney animated features canon and was the last animated feature produced by Walt Disney to be based upon a fairy tale. It is the tenth film released as part of Disney’s prestigious Blu-ray Diamond Collection.
Bonus Features include:
- Never-before-seen deleted scenes “The Fair” (with Deleted Character The Vulture,) “The Curse is Fulfilled” and “Arrival Of Maleficent,”
- The Beauty-Oke sing-along to “Once Upon A Dream.”
I watched the movie again with my children last weekend. I was so happy to be able to enjoy this classic with them. Once again I loved the story but most of all, I appreciated the Tchaikovsky’s music. I especially loved seeing my seven year old dance as the score played.
Are you ready to enjoy Sleeping Beauty with your children? You can pick up the Sleeping Beauty: Diamond Edition in stores now.
