Review of Sleeping Beauty (1959) by Thomas P — 27 Nov 2010

The biggest reversal of opinion on a Disney movie I've had thus far. As a kid, it felt boring to me (everyone's falling asleep = made me want to sleep), and the animation is not as warm and inviting as something like Lady and the Tramp.

But, now that I've watched it again, I've done a 180 on it. The animation isn't warm, yeah, but that's what makes it beautiful. It's sort of like a stained glass painting: really sharp and vibrant, depicting tales of beautiful princesses, heroic princes, and completely awesome villains like Malificient.

It all just feels so... "classic." I really don't know how to describe it other than that. But yeah, Disney hit this one out of the park fasho.
