Sleeping Beauty (1959)
Not About Sleeping Beauty, Excellent Style
This movie is really about 3 fairy godmothers and a wicked witch.
They bless a baby, are interrupted by Maleficent, and get to mitigate her curse. Then they get to play house for 16 years, *never learning to make a cake or sew,* then lose track of the princess at the 11th hour.
They save the prince, give him a sword and shield, but no belt or sheath and he climbs in a cliff one-handed. Then, he kisses Aurora, and she's like, no big deal, this king and queen have always been my family, obviously, even though I've been living in the woods barefoot my whole life.
It's a good story, but it's about fairy godmothers and a wicked witch pulling the strings the whole time. All we know about Aurora is that she has yellow hair, sings, and cries when she's informed her whole life is fake and she's a princess. She's on screen *awake* for like 10 minutes.
