Petros T @PetrosTserpelis 6d There's some cool animation in this, but the story is completely irredeemable. It's full of plot holes, one-dimensional characters with poor decision-making, and pointless musical numbers. Aurora and Prince Philip are completely empty as characters, Maleficent is evil just for the sake of it, and the good fairies really mess everything up in a film that perfectly sums up what's wrong with lots of fairy tales: they perpetuate and glorify superficiality but are just hollow tripe rolled in glitter.

The classic story did not hold our interest, and we found it boring enough that we were glad the film was short. Contemporary animation, especially from Pixar, is radically more appealing to us.

It has everything you’d want from a “Family Movie.” Splendid animation, a story that everyone can follow, a love story that the girls will love, and a sword slashing, dragon slaying warrior that the boys will appreciate. Action and romance, the tried and true classics! And I keep coming back to the animation. It’s beautiful! Movies like this remind you why you miss 2D animated movies, it looks so good! The painted backgrounds have so much detail in them that modern 3D animation just can’t live up to. This is a splendid movie that the whole family will love, and the animation enthusiast in the family will get even more appreciation from it.

The film is known for its distinctive art style by Eyvind Earle, its score adapted from Tchaikovsky's ballet, and its use of the Super Technirama 70 widescreen process, though it was initially a box-office disappointment before becoming a classic. Key aspects Plot: A princess is cursed to sleep until her 16th birthday, but three good fairies raise her in secret, altering the curse to a deep sleep instead of death. Prince Phillip must defeat Maleficent (in dragon form) to break the spell with a kiss. Production: It was the last Disney animated feature based on a fairy tale until The Little Mermaid and the last to use hand-inked animation before xerography. Visuals: It was the first animated film shot in Super Technirama 70, a widescreen format, and is cel See more Read all reviews
