Sleeping Beauty

About This Movie

So, Sleeping Beauty from '95 – it’s kind of an under-the-radar flick in the animated genre. You might expect the classic fairy tale to be all sunshine and sweetness, but there’s an eerie, dreamlike quality that hangs over the story, which is quite captivating, really. The animation has this lush, hand-drawn style that feels so rich, almost like you can step right into the fairy-tale world. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the gorgeous visuals and enchanting music to really draw you in. The themes of love and destiny are woven throughout, but there’s also a twinge of danger lurking behind the scenes with Maleficent. It stands out, especially with some striking character designs and that iconic dragon scene - such a memorable climax. Definitely worth a watch for animation collectors.
