BONUS FEATURES
In the original story, Princess Aurora sleeps for 100 years before being awakened by a prince's kiss. In the Disney version, Prince Philip comes to her rescue much sooner.
George Brun's orchestral score, which was nominated for an Academy Award, expertly blended famous themes from Tchaikovsky's ballet.
With a budget that exceeded $6 million in 1959, this was Walt Disney's most lavish and expensive animated feature to date.
Determined to make the characters as realistic as possible, Disney had a live action film shot with actors posing as Sleeping Beauty, the Prince, and Maleficent, for the animators to use.
New York Times critic Bosley Crowther called the fight between Prince Philip and Maleficent the noisiest and scariest go-round he (Disney) has ever put into one of his films.

Summary: Sleeping Beauty
Comment: I'm one of the many who faithfully turn out every time Disney release a new DVD of one of their classic animated films. The Platinum series, bi-annual releases of the Disney films which sold best on VHS, has proved an exemplary program, and the impressive streak continues with this edition of Sleeping Beauty.
First, the movie; Sleeping Beauty was one of the last Disney movies I'd not managed to see in my childhood. It never came across my radar, so I was very excited to see it. The story is classic Disney, and well-executed classic Disney at that. The characters are all well-developed, and the voice acting is extremely good. But it's the visuals that sell it. This is the most beautiful piece of eye candy in the entire Disney library. I couldn't stop looking at the animation, with vibrant colours filling every inch of frame. This was the last Disney movie before they started using a photocopying process, and while I love the look of the next group of films (101 Dalmations and The Jungle Book, for example), there's nothing that can compare with the beauty of hand-painted cells. It's gorgeous from start to finish.
As for the bonus features, I've loved the Platinum Series as much for the documentaries as I have for the movies. Each one in the line has come with a tremendous thirty- to sixty-minute feature on the making of the film, and this one is an interesting and informative watch.
I didn't buy the previous release of Sleeping Beauty, so I can't say how the transfer or the bonus features compare to that, but if you haven't already added this movie to your collection, there's no reason to hesitate. It's a classic for a reason, and well worth your time.
