    3 fairies, a curse, and a princess. When Princess Aurora was born an evil fairy named Maleficent put a curse on her. On her 16th birthday, she would have to prick her finger on a spinning wheel and fall fast asleep, and only a true loves kiss could wake her. Even though all of the spinning wheels in the kingdom are burned, three good fairies hide Aurora in a cottage in the woods to be sure. Will "Sleeping Beauty" fall to sleep forever, or will she be saved by true love? I highly recommend this movie for anyone 6+. This is because there is a huge battle at the end which is scary for younger kids. This movie shows kindness, hope, friendship, and love. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! (five popcorn)

      This movie was OK. It has a little to much singing that could easily be cut out of the movie. My favorite part of the movie is the end where the prince fights the dragon (who is really Maleficent, the evil witch). My favorite character is Maleficent because the movie would defiantly NOT be the same without her. I would recommend this movie for fairy tale lovers.

              This is one of my favorite Disney Princesses.It tells the most famous fairy tale and brings it to life with more adventure and romance.It's a wonderful day when the most beautiful princess Auroua is born until Malenficent puts a curse on Auroua that on her 16th birthday she will touch the spindle and fall into an everlasting sleep.It takes 3 magical fairies and a handsome brave prince to defeat Malenficent and break the curse.This movie is wonderful and magical.Once you see it you will fall in love with it.This movie is so cool and sweet and my whole family loves it.My favorite characters are Malenficent,Auroua and Queen Lelia.I'm a huge Disney fan and I hope you love this movie.It's so magical and AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

                I may be a Disney fan but Sleeping Beauty is not one of my favorites. I like when Disney changes up the original story a bit, but this story didn't chanfe at all. i rather enjoy Maleficent more than this movie.
