Review of Sleeping Beauty (1959) by Gamzguy17 — 21 Aug 2021

It begins promising enough by establishing its beautiful animation and its damning (and surprisingly interesting) villain Maleficent and it ends with an epic, albeit short climax. As classic of a fairy tail as this film tries to be, its prince and princess are about as engaging as two wooden planks and it should have been re-titled as "The Three Good Fairies" because this film is really THEIR film.

As a result, the entire middle act of this film is both dry and boring, but the aforementioned animation and Maleficent, along with the likeable three good fairies, are all just enough to make "Sleeping Beauty" a film you only need to see once.
