 Animation not up to Disney's standards. November 13, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I hadn't watched this movie in decades, and was looking forward to seeing it again. I was disappointed with the animation, though, which compared to some of Disney's earlier classics, like Snow White and Alice in Wonderland, looks crude and dashed off, and unfortunately influenced by the passing design modes of that decade. Too bad.

Arrived promptly, and in new condition. Was nice to have the oppurtunity to order early.
Limited time November 12, 2008

Disney's classic Sleeping Beauty has been my 15-year-old daughter's favorite movie since she was very young. Our old VHS tape broke ages ago, and we've been unable to buy a new copy on DVD until now. In typical Disney style, this movie will be available only for a limited time and then gone again for several years. If you even think your family might want this movie eventually over the next 10 years, buy it now.
Using the same long-term perspective, I almost bought the Blue-Ray version. However, we don't have a Blue-Ray player yet, and my daughter got this movie as a birthday present to watch now - not eventually.
Movie Review: Among Disney animation movies, Sleeping Beauty is generally acknowledged as having the most dark and sinister of villians. The evil witch actually become a black fire-breathing dragon for the major fight scene. Otherwise the film is as much about the prince as the princess, with plenty of comic relief scenes thrown in from their royal fathers and the three good faries. Clean enjoyable fun for the family, but let the little ones snuggle close the first time they watch it.

Color Me Disappointed November 12, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
"Sleeping Beauty" isn't a very warm or emotionally engaging film, and those of us who love it do so because of its extraordinary design artistry (largely due to the participation of artist Eyvind Earle). The film's use of color is central to its artistic integrity, but those who have digitally remastered "Sleeping Beauty" for this Blu-Ray edition have played havoc with its original palette. Scores of Disney artists labored for years to put "Sleeping Beauty" on the screen, but a few keyboard-pounding technicians with no obvious artistic credentials have marred its color scheme and spoiled one of its key charms. If all you want is the visual sweep, the sharp clarity, and (heaven help you) the story of "Sleeping Beauty," then this version will serve; if you want the carefully chosen colors that bathed the screen in its original Super Technirama 70/Technicolor release, then you'll be sadly disappointed.
