Sleeping BeautyMovie | 1959


My favorite part of watching the 1959 film Sleeping Beauty on Disney+ was the scene where the two dads get sloppy drunk and one tries to use a big fish as a sword, while a servant gets black-out wrecked, and falls asleep in a mandoline. These guys know how to party! But, this scene, along with the rest of the animated classic, horrified me. The last time I saw this movie, I considered it to be among the very best of the old Disney films; an amazing confluence of old fairy tales, art-deco style, and clever remixes of classical Tchaikovsky music.




Sleeping BeautyMovie | 1959



In 1959 Disney's Sleeping Beauty pricked her finger on a spinning wheel spindle and fell into a magical comma. Now, thanks to the wonders of new technology, this classic story is being reawakened so it can enchant a new generation of movie watchers.


The Margos are feeling kind of Disney this month so we are dedicating our next few episodes to those animated classics beginning with Sleeping Beauty from 1959. At the time, it received mixed reviews for its obvious comparison to Snow White & the Seven Dwarves which was considered a masterpiece.


Beauty will be yours happily ever after with this Sleeping Beauty 1959 Eyeshadow Palette by Bésame. This fairytale set includes 20 matte eyeshadows based on colors used in the Disney film, while the cover is inspired by the bejeweled storybook featured in the movie's opening scene.


Sleeping Beauty is a 1959 American animated musical fantasy film produced by Walt Disney based on Sleeping Beauty by Charles Perrault. The 16th Disney animated feature film, it was released to theaters on January 29, 1959, by Buena Vista Distribution. It features the voices of Mary Costa, Eleanor Audley, Verna Felton, Barbara Luddy, Barbara Jo Allen, Bill Shirley, Taylor Holmes, and Bill Thompson.


The fairies take Aurora to the castle to await her birthday celebrations, where she will finally see her parents. Maleficent appears and lures Aurora into a dark tower away from the fairies, and tricks her into touching the spindle of a cursed spinning wheel. Aurora pricks her finger, fulfilling the curse. The three fairies place the sleeping Aurora on a bed in the highest tower and place a powerful spell on all the people in the kingdom, causing them to sleep until the spell on their princess is broken. They overhear a sleepy conversation between the two kings and realize that Phillip is the man with whom Aurora has fallen in love. They rush to find him, but he is abducted by Maleficent at the cottage. She then shows Phillip the sleeping Princess Aurora, and tells him her plan to lock him away until he is an old man on the verge of death, only to then release him to meet his love, who will not have aged a single day.

It's fine and dandy to be part of the LGBTQ+ spectrum in Toontown, so rather than the lesbian she *TRULY is*, she pretends that she's a gay boy; which is *SORELY* tested when she meets actually-quite-interesting-and-smart Princess Aurora Talia Briar-Rose in 1959, and Belle Linda Paige in 1991! But secrets have to come out eventually, and one night she slips up and reveals her *TRUE-true* self. Some are angry (Father, Jiminy, and 'Zia Evelyn' aren't among them, *thank GOODNESS*- and neither is 'Lampy'), some are simply startled and surprised -and a couple are quite intrigued beyond friendship by this sweet pretty young thing, and more than willing to welcome her into their circle, if she wants...


Sleeping Beauty is a 1959 American animated musical Fantasy film produced by Walt Disney based on The Sleeping Beauty by Charles Perrault and Little Briar Rose by The Brothers Grimm. The 16th film in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series, it was released to theaters on January 29, 1959, by Buena Vista Distribution. This was the last Disney adaptation of a fairy tale for some years because of its initial mixed critical reception; the studio did not return to the genre until 30 years later, after Walt Disney died, with the release of The Little Mermaid (1989). However, the film is now hailed as one of the greatest animated films of all time.


The fairies take Aurora back to the castle. Maleficent then appears and magically lures Aurora away from the fairies and tricks the princess into touching an enchanted spinning wheel. Aurora pricks her finger, completing the curse. The good fairies place Aurora on a bed in the highest tower and place a powerful spell on all the people in the kingdom, causing them to fall in a deep sleep until the spell on their princess is broken. From King Hubert's conversation with King Stefan, the fairies realize that Prince Phillip is the man with whom Aurora has fallen in love. However, he is kidnapped by Maleficent. She shows Phillip the peasant girl he fell in love with is the now-sleeping princess. She tells him she plans to keep him locked away until he's an old man on the verge of death, then release him to meet his love, who won't have aged a single day.


Like Alice in Wonderland (1951), which was not initially successful either, Sleeping Beauty was never re-released theatrically in Walt Disney's lifetime. However, it had many re-releases in theaters over the decades. The film was re-released theatrically in 1970, 1979 (in 70mm 6 channel stereo, as well as in 35 mm stereo and mono) 1986 and 1995. It was going to re-release in 1993, but it was canceled. Sleeping Beauty's successful reissues have made it the second most successful film released in 1959, second to Ben-Hur,[23] with a lifetime gross of $51.6 million.[2] When adjusted for ticket price inflation, the domestic total gross comes out to $606.8 million, placing it in the top 40 of films.[24]


In anticipation of the 2014 film Maleficent, a cover version sung by Lana Del Rey was released by Disney on January 26. The song is considerably darker and more dramatic than the 1959 version, given the new film's focus on the villain Maleficent. The song was debuted in a trailer for the film shown as a commercial break during the 2014 Grammy Awards, and was released for free on Google Play for a limited time.[39][40]
