Cons: None

I am about to do something I have never done here before - well, at least not on purpose. I am about to make a complete fool of myself. But it is for a good cause.

This review is part of the Hard_to_Please Love Fest,...

Pros: Artwork, background music, the four magical creatures
Cons: Aurora has little personality; story slow to start

When the true classics of Disney animation are discussed, Sleeping Beauty is often listed near the top of the list. But not my list. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the film. But it has some serious story and character weaknesses that I can't ...

Pros: Beautiful art, wonderful music, the best Disney Villain Ever.
Cons: No cons. Just Beauty.

I re-watched Sleeping Beauty this weekend for the first time in years...I've been a critic of the recent Disney attempts to regain their former glory, and I needed some affirmation that the glory was EVER there. This film put those fears to rest....

Pros: the funny fairies
Cons: Malificent is really scary

This movie used to scare the living daylights out of me. I think Malificent may well be the most frightening villain ever to enter a Disney animated feature. The scene where Aurora pricks her finger is ethereally creepy, and the final battle between...

Pros: Colorful, lively, good songs, very good details
Cons: Not the most fascinating story, some characters are a bit meek.

Disney Home Video kindly sent me this DVD, in exchange for an honest review. Movie: This is a very traditional fairy tale romance, with Princess Aurora being the only child of a king, betrothed at birth to Prince Phillip, the only child of ...

Pros: Beautifully realized. Ravishing art work.
Cons: The supporting cast has more personality than the leads.

It's been an absolute bear of a day. I spent all morning with my lawyers, Fajer and Hellmann, negotiating an iron clad contract guaranteeing me the rights to my new Broadway stage spectacular, Mother Teresa: The Musical and locking in complete art ...

Pros: everything
Cons: nope

This is the first movie that I remember seeing in a theater. I was a few months short of five years old when I sat between my two brothers in the back seat of Dad’s '56 Mercury at the Culver Drive-in to see Sleeping Beauty. Too bad the days of ...

Pros: it's a great movie and a great DVD
Cons: hmm do we really need a standard format.

I got Sleeping Beauty on DVD 2 years ago when it came out. It’s an old fashion Disney movie that I had to add to my collection and after watching it a few times I shelved it before reviewing. It so last week I decided to watch this again so I could ...

Pros: Classic fairytale
Cons: One of the more old fshioned Disney films

Sleeping Beauty has long been one of my favourite Disney films from when I was growing up and to this day I still love all the Disney films! Sleeping Beauty is the 16th animated film that was made by Disney and I will share with you why I think it is so ...

Pros: Bright and colorful, Good DVD bonus features
Cons: Light on character development, Short, Very obvious and saccharine family fare.

It is a rare thing that I sit down and watch a Disney film and while I went and saw "Up" (reviewed at: http://www.epinions.com/conten t_473470439044 ) earlier this year, it has been a while since I was actually excited ...

Pros: A magnificent artistic vision, with a fabulous score.
Cons: Poorly developed characters.

Introduction

This is a film that marks the end of the Disney classic era. Released in 1959, with the next film (101 Dalmatians) the Mouse House switched to a “limited animation” with less emphasis on artwork, to save money. Not...

Pros: Unique style, great characters, excellent music, nominated for an Oscar
Cons: You can't live in the film

Walt Disney's "Sleeping Beauty" (1959) was billed as the ultimate animated film. This is a heavy claim to make, but after viewing the film, it is one well deserved. (Side note--I hate how Disney films are categorized as "children's"....

Pros: great movie with good voice animation.
Cons: a little predictable

Distinctive animation and Tchaikovsky's music are combined to make Disney's most beautiful animated film of all time, Sleeping Beauty. Made by Disney in 1959, this movie is one of the all time best of Disney's movies. Based on the Charles ...

Pros: Superb animation. Beautiful music. Memorable characters.
Cons: Aurora lacks personality. Is a bit dark and solemn.

Holy Sha-moly! Normally I find it difficult sympathize with directors' whinings about the massacred films that had to be butchered to fit on a TV screen. But, in the case of the new DVD, "Sleeping Beauty", I wonder--how in the world did ...

Pros: Astounding visual beauty and a equally unique adaptation of the Tchaikovsky score.
Cons: None.

Following in the traditional style of Walt’s masterpieces Snow White and Cinderella, this Disney classic is true to the Charles Perrault version of the French fairy tale. Over six years in the making and entailing a budget of over 6 million dollars, ...
