I love Sleeping Beuty. Why? To quote Disney himself; Sleeping Beuty is so beautiful, you could stop at any point of the movie and hang it up as a painting.

@syndrome3215 3 года назад

Literally what I did. I printed one of the frames of the iconic dancing scene in the forest and hung it up in my sister's wall as a surprise present.

Maybe not when Maleficent is maliciously hiding in a darkened fireplace, with the devilish intent to hypnotize Aurora against her will, in order to force her to prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel......but I get your point.

I get why the good reviews mostly praise the animation. The main characters seem bland and forgettable, until you notice that Aurora and Phillip are not the main characters. The fairies are. The fairies affect the plot more, appear consistently thru the movie (unlike Phillip who barely appears in the first half and barely talks in the second; and Aurora who is a baby for the whole first act and blacks out in thr third). Even Flora is the one to enchant the sword and kill Maleficient, and they get the last line of dialogue in the movie.

@thegeek4145 4 года назад

I love that the main characters are three dumpy middle aged women, something which is so rare. As for Aurora and Phillip, their characters and relationship are supposed to be visual, Walt took alot of inspiration from "The Sleeping Beauty Ballet" and that is why whenever the two are on screen together they are mainly dancing (and singing but mainly dancing) as the characters are built around movement, that is why Aurora and Phillip move so elegantly and balletic and that's really all you need for their characters because as you say, they aren't the main characters

@Alejandroigarabide 4 года назад

@@thegeek4145 Exactly. And they are good secondary characters. Amazing how a simple change of perspective (about who the main character was) turned this from one of my least favourite movies to one of my favourite ones.

@PaolaTheTimeLord 4 года назад

i was just thinking about this. as a kid i always thought the princess was the main character. in actuality it’s the fairies. they are the backbone of the storyline. they walked so aurora and phillip could run 😭 idk if this is a stretch but i kinda consider phillip to be the protagonist in his own right in the second half of the film where he’s trying to save aurora. it’s the classic hero quest plot even if it’s short. you can plot the rising action, climax and resolution when he goes on his quest.

@andrewchung2940 3 года назад

It's kind of like Triplets of Belleville or perhaps even Lord of the Rings. Triplets of Belleville centers around an elderly woman seeking to save her athletic grandson from the mob with the aid of three elderly women (hence the name triplets) who used to work in vaudeville. And they're the ones who take all the initiative rather than a young athletic man, who is almost completely passive throughout the film. Traditionally, the young man should be the hero, but instead it is the four pudgy elderly ladies who drive the story. Lord of the Ring's official protagonist is Frodo, but he is much more passive partly due to the burden the Ring bears on him. The more active character is Sam, who traditionally should be a sidekick. But because he is the one who takes more initiative, gets a lot of character development, and saves Frodo in more ways than one, many fans, including Christopher Lee who played Saruman, believe that Sam is the real hero of LotR. Also, even in the original Sleeping Beauty ballet and fairy tale, the fairies are the ones who drive the plot more than the Prince and the Princess, perhaps even more so than the Disney version. At least in the Disney version, Aurora meets Philip before falling to her curse, rather than after as in the original versions of the tale...

@matthewhedrichjr.5445 Год назад

Disagree with you on Prince Phillip as he is better developed and had more action and personality than the previous two princes and even better than both King Stefan and Queen Leah as they too, have poor performances and development. Thing is that both of Aurora’s parents were not so major characters because all we know is that they wanted to make sure their daughter is safe. For starters, Hans Conried (the model reference) got the role of King Stefan taken away from him and Aurora didn’t have any development nor did Queen Leah (plus her voice was way off)

Sleeping beauty was always my favorite as a child simply because it was just so beautiful. The music and art had such a grace to it that the other movies before didn’t have. Also maleficent is definitely one of disneys best villains. The plot is a little thin it could’ve used some more time developing the characters, but it doesn’t matter simply because of how beautiful the film turned out.

@jamestyler7697 6 лет назад

Sleeping Beauty might be the most influential and imitated animated Disney film in the extensive canon. Certainly elements of it have seeped into The Little Mermaid ("before the sun sets on the third day"), Aladdin (the "marry for true love" theme, the final battles for both films), and most obviously Beauty and the Beast where they literally recycled the final dance sequence for the closing act. The plots of Tangled, Frozen, and Anastasia (Disney lite) - while based on existing narratives and stories in their own right - could clearly be read as variations of Sleeping Beauty. Enchanted parodies it more than any other film with the possible exception of Mermaid. But it was even parodied a mere four years after its release in 1963's Sword in the Stone, with Madam Mim's transformation into a purple dragon clearly referencing (or satirizing) the earlier film's famous climax. Perhaps most tellingly, there's a reason the award-winning documentary on the advent of the Disney Renaissance was titled "Waking Sleeping Beauty," rather than the seemingly more obvious "Waking Snow White."

@johnathonhaney8291 6 лет назад

Of all the classic Disney fairytales, this one was always my favorite growing up. It moves slowly as a narrative but everything is so gorgeous to look at and the story is solid enough that I never minded. When I finally fought Malificent in the original Kingdom Hearts, I realized it was the battle I'd been wanting to fight since I was 10. The box office and initial critical reception also highlights an important point. I recently got into an argument under another RU-vid video with some nitwit who kept trying to convince me that box office, critical reception and being taught in film schools was some sort of "empirical evidence" rather than an indicator of how popular it currently was. I rejected that notion on the grounds of several films having their greatness acknowledged decades after the fact. This strikes me as being a prominent example of that.

@MattDraper 6 лет назад

Great points, I agree with your rejection of having those 3 elements be empirical evidence. Box office, critical reception and film school classes are strong ways to define the success of a film and can be used as guideposts, but the influence and standing of a film is often so much more complicated than that. A movie's impact on other filmmakers and audiences, especially when seen over years or decades, can show far greater insights than those.

Sleeping Beauty will always be one of my favorites. Philip is my favorite Prince. Even though he has few lines, his actions tell all. Aurora, besides her beauty and grace, is also selfless (Accepting her fate as a royal even if she's hurting) and has good orientation sense (Walking in the woods on her own) In Enchanted Tales, she knows the importance of reading before signing. In a printed story "Maleficent's Revange" She even offers to sacrifice herself sleeping forever, in exchange of saving Philip and the whole kingdom.

Sleeping Beauty is the most "fairytale" of the Disney movies. It's got this foreboding quietness to the story and characters but this deep undeniable beauty in the environments and movements of the characters. It's my favorite Disney movie since it truly feels like a work of classical fairytales brought to life. Close behind I LOVE Lady and the Tramp, storewide, animation, backgrounds, drama it's perfect, but for quiet meditation Sleeping Beauty takes the cake. It feels like the feeling I get wondering through art museums looking at renaissance art or old cathedrals

@positivelyliv Год назад

God, this is so well done. I've been obsessed with this film since childhood, particularly with its art and character design, and feel that it is absolutely Walt's masterpiece. It perfectly merges Romantic sensibilities with the fairytale aesthetics the company had become so well-known for at that point, from the use of Tchaikovsky's music to the emphasis on the natural world to the battle between utter good and complete evil at the climax. Only Beauty and the Beast has managed to capture the same melding of ideologies, in my opinion, and even then, in many ways, it still pales in comparison to this film. It's pure Disney magic condensed into one cinematic experience, and this video is a perfect tribute to how important a role the design of the film plays in creating this magic.

@blythetaylor4063 3 года назад

Sleeping Beauty could be read as a gender reversed Howl’s Moving Castle. It’s often said that Howl’s moving Castle is an analogy- Sophie is getting to know Howl romantically, but has to move past inner layers of his psyche to truly be close to him. Each wall she has to knock down, room she has to clean, battle she has to win, represents her going through the trials and tribulations of their relationship together and knowing him better. You could easily make the same analogy with Sleeping Beauty- Prince Phillip has to push past Aurora’s walls, fight and win against her demons, and of course get to know the sacred parts of Aurora’s psyche (represented by the fairy God Mother’s, the good witches.)

According to a little research, Sleeping Beauty made $51.6 million in the United States and Canada and was only played in carefully selected movie theatres specially equipped to project the film in widescreen Technirama 70 and six-track-stereo sound so the movie did make more money than it cost to produce it but didn't make as much as other Disney movies because it wasn't put in as many theatres as other films from the studio

@sarasamaletdin4574 3 года назад

@tommy-qr2hq 3 года назад

@Echo-mg5em Год назад

I really like this suggestion because it really speaks to the strengths Aurora has already shown (including her romantic, imaginative nature and her amazing singing voice) and how they could have been further explored rather than just putting her down as “passive.” She has a more subtle personality that was somewhat confined by the source material-it’s called “Sleeping Beauty,” of course she is going to be asleep for part of it!-but that doesn’t mean that she has nothing to offer as a heroine.

@matthewhedrichjr.5445 Год назад

It's been my favorite Disney film since I was a child, even though there wasn't enough time for the character development of Aurora and Philip. Yet, Philip is still my favorite prince since he did so much to save her without question; even though the faeries helped, he didnt hesitate and went head-on into danger. His loyalty and resolve never wavered. And I love Flora Fauna and Merryweather. Merryweather and the blue dress helped shape my love of blue as a child ❤ And as an artist now and even at 5yrs, this film caught my eye: exquisite, decadent, detailed, and stylized. Aura is my favorite because of her essence, her calm and confident demeanor, her songs, the way she was drawn and her blue dress ❤️

The unicorn tapestries dont account for earle’s style, which is far more modern and angular and similar to many other cartoons at the time - looney toons and upa. Some of the details such as the tree shapes and landscape features do reflect the Italian renaissance but with a modernized style, all these things were broadly influenced by the popularity of Picasso and cubism.

This movie does have breathtaking animation, sophisticated characters like Prince Phillip (despite being silent in the second half), King Hubert (despite his white hair), Maleficent and the Fairies.

The thing is that both of Aurora’s parents were not so major characters because all we know is that they wanted to make sure their daughter is safe.

I can appreciate everything about this film that there is to appreciate, and I do. But it's still the *whitest* thing I've ever seen in my life.

What do you mean by whitest?

@CJusticeHappen21 4 месяца назад

@@monkey39128 That it possesses this deeply entrenched sense of entitlement. Literally all of the challenges faced by the Princess and Prince are overcome by the benevolent hand of the Fairy God Mothers.

It's too bad that Sleeping Beauty has a lackluster reception. It really was the Pinnacle of classic Disney animation. It's a masterpiece of animation, and I can only imagine what it would have done for animation and storytelling had it been successful. Sad.

I love Sleeping Beuty. Why? To quote Disney himself; Sleeping Beuty is so beautiful, you could stop at any point of the movie and hang it up as a painting.
