Heralded by audiences and critics alike, SLEEPING BEAUTY was the final fairy tale to be produced by Walt Disney himself. Now fully restored with revolutionary digital technology, its dazzling colors, rich backgrounds, and Academy Award(R)-nominated orchestrations shine brighter than ever. When an enchanted kingdom and the most fair princess in the land fall prey to the ultimate mistress of evil, the fate of the empire rests in the hands of three small fairies and a courageous prince's magic kiss. Their quest is fraught with peril as the fellowship must battle the evil witch and a fire-breathing dragon if they are to set the Beauty free. From spectacular action to the breathtaking pageantry of the princess and her kingdom, SLEEPING BEAUTY has something to charm every member of your family.

A great Disney film!
Sleeping Beauty is a great Disney movie. Even though I have all of the Disney Platinum Edition DVDs, I'm not planning on buying this because I already have the 2003 DVD Special Edition release. I will add my Special Edition DVD to my Platinum Edition collection.

Beautiful!
Sleeping Beauty was a childhood favorite of mine and still is! I just love this fairytale classic. I used to watch this film over and over again, I wore out my VHS copy many years ago and can't wait for this to be released in the fall. I highly recommend this gorgeous fable, enjoy future and past generations!!

sleeping beauty
everything about my purchase was great. i recieved the vhs tape promptly. the seller even wrote me personally and thanked me for my purchase and taking the time to give him a rating. i thought that was nice, since ordering online can be so impersonal.

Should be a great addition to the disney BLU-RAY store
So, this has always been a great movie. I know that this will look spectacular on BLU-RAY.
I just have one question: Does any body know when the other original disney movies will be released on BLU-RAY??

Not one of my fave Disney films
For some reason, and I can't quite put my finger on it, but I'm really not into Sleeping Beauty. I adore Disney movies and have seen pretty much every one, with the exception of a couple. This does not rank high on my list. The story never really interested me, the music was just OK. It came as a bit old fashioned for me.
That said, It's certainly not a bad movie by any means, just not as enjoyable as some of the other brilliant ones out there.

Bogus Reviews on a Disc Not Yet Released But...
I am in the Sleeping Beauty camp. This is the first film I remember seeing in a movie theater in 1959, I was all of three years-old but the imagery has remained with me and this is my favorite of all the "Fairy Tales" Walt put out.
I can't wait for the Blu-ray release (and this coming from a former HD DVD fan.) But you go with the flow with high def. Anyone who gets a prescreen copy let me know, I don't have a lot of patience.
I am looking forward to real reviews once the discs are out.

Best ever
Sleeping Beauty is my favorite Disney movie of all. It's the first Disney movie we get to see the prince actually doing something. It's absolutely beautiful, and I will get this DVD, although I now have the previously released 2-disc set.

ANOTHER DVD?
I was one of the fools who bought the 2-disc DVD of Sleeping Beauty a few years ago. Now, of course, Disney is bringing YET ANOTHER one out, claiming it is "better." How stupid do they think we are?
It's just like what Lucas just did with the three Indiana Jones movies. Those were released five years ago in what we thought were the "Ultimate" version. Of course, they weren't.
I'm sick and tired of being treated as a chump by Hollywood. Everyone should boycott these "re-releases."

Classic
There is no better movie than a Disney classic. Sleeping Beauty is one of my all time favorite stories, every little girl wants to be a princess and a have a handsome prince save her. No little girl should be without this classic.

Disney's Sleeping Beauty on Blu-Ray
History repeats itself! "Sleeping Beauty" was the first animated Disney film to be released on VHS tape (*many* moons ago), so it makes perfect sense that it would be their first animated film to be released on Blu-Ray. I can hardly wait! I have always loved the distinctive artwork (kudos to the late-great Eyvind Earle) and the villianess that is Maleficent (voiced by the same actress as the Evil Stepmother in "Cinderella"). And knowing that it was originally made in wide screen format, it will certainly be a feast for the eyes on Blu-Ray!
