Sleeping Beauty.
Sleeping Beauty.
I love this movie and like all the other ones I have seen I watched this at
a Drive-in and I just got to see it again a couple nights ago and it is true
what they say, it does get better every time you see it and you notice
other things you didn't and this movie is a full on adventure with
animation that fits perfect with the story and I hope you sit down with
the family this Christmas and watch it together cause it can be enjoyed
by everyone young and old. So, with that, lets get to the story shall we:
P.S. You can find this on Disney+.
After many childless years, King Stefan and Queen Leah welcome a daughter, the Princess Aurora. A holiday is proclaimed to pay homage to the princess. At her christening, Aurora is betrothed to Prince Phillip, the son of King Stefan's closest friend King Hubert, to unite their kingdoms.
Among the guests are the three good fairies, Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather. Flora and Fauna bless Aurora with beauty and song, respectively, but Merryweather's gift is interrupted by the evil fairy Maleficent, who is furious she was not invited. As retaliation, Maleficent curses the princess, proclaiming Aurora will prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday. Although Maleficent's power is too strong to undo, Merryweather uses her gift to weaken the curse; instead of dying, Aurora will fall into a deep sleep until true love's kiss breaks the spell. Still concerned, King Stefan orders all the spinning wheels in the kingdom be burned. The fairies know that Maleficent will not rest until she gets her way, so they convince the King and Queen to let Aurora live with them in a cottage hidden in the forest until she turns sixteen.
Aurora is renamed Briar Rose and grows into a beautiful young woman. She does not know her guardians are fairies since they have disguised themselves as peasants. On her sixteenth birthday, they ask her to gather berries so they can prepare a surprise party. Aurora befriends the animals of the forest and sings them a song, "Once Upon a Dream." Phillip, now a handsome young man, follows Aurora's voice and is instantly struck by her beauty and grace. She is initially startled, as she is not allowed to talk to strangers, but she and Phillip fall in love. She invites him to meet her godmothers at the cottage that evening.
Meanwhile, Flora and Merryweather argue over Aurora's gown's color, their magic attracting the attention of Maleficent's raven Diablo. Returning home, Aurora is thrilled to tell her guardians that she has fallen in love. Not knowing that Prince Phillip is the one, the fairies tell Aurora her true identity and that she is already betrothed. Diablo overhears the news and flies off to tell Maleficent. Heartbroken, Aurora cries in her room. Phillip tells his father he wishes to marry a peasant girl, despite his betrothal to a princess, and King Hubert is left devastated.
The fairies take Aurora to the castle to await her birthday celebrations and be reunited with her parents. Maleficent appears and lures Aurora into a dark tower with the spindle of a cursed spinning wheel. Aurora pricks her finger, fulfilling the curse only moments before the sun sets. The three fairies place the sleeping Aurora on a bed in the highest tower and cast a powerful spell on everyone in the kingdom, causing them to sleep until the spell on their princess is broken. After overhearing a sleepy conversation between the two kings, they realize that Phillip is the man Aurora fell in love with in the forest. They rush to find him, but Maleficent has abducted him. She shows Phillip the sleeping Princess Aurora and says she will lock him away until he is an old man on the verge of death. Only then will she release him to meet his love, who will not have aged a single day.
The fairies rescue Phillip, arming him with the magical Sword of Truth and Shield of Virtue. An enraged Maleficent surrounds the castle with thorns but fails to stop Phillip. She confronts him directly, transforming into an enormous black dragon. They battle, and Phillip throws the sword, blessed by the fairies, directly into Maleficent's heart, killing her.
Phillip awakens Aurora with a kiss, breaking the spell and waking the kingdom. The royal couple descends to the ballroom, where Aurora is reunited with her parents. Flora and Merryweather resume their dispute over Aurora's gown while the couple shares a dance, living happily ever after.
