King Stefan and Queen Leah finally has a child, Princess Aurora. At her christening, she is betrothed to boy Prince Phillip, the heir to neighboring King Hubert. The three good fairies Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather bless the child with gifts. Before Merryweather gives her blessing, the evil fairy Maleficent interrupts and curses the princess with death before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday as she pricks her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel. Merryweather uses her blessing to alter the curse to a deathlike sleep from which she can be awakened by true love's kiss. The three fairies comes up with a scheme to turn into humans and raise the girl as their own.
This is definitely an old fashion fairy tale where the princess is rescued by her prince. The songs are old fashion but 'Once Upon a Dream' is still great. The hand drawn animation is beautiful. Maleficent is a great villain. The three fairies aren't nearly funny enough. Nevertheless this is a classic although it is of its times.
