Disney's Sleeping Beauty: Aurora & Prince Philip —Aesthetic

Aurora & Prince Philip's Relationship

Aurora first meets Phillip when she's a baby. They're betrothed to each other by their parents. This way, when they're old enough to get married, their kingdoms can peacefully unite. However, Philip isn't satisfied by the idea. Sixteen years later, Aurora isn't interested in marrying someone she's never met for political reasons. Instead, it's clear both people want to find true love. In addition to being attracted to each other, the couple bond over their love of singing, dancing and romance. Aurora and Philip are content with whatever life they live as long as they're together. Thus why Philip was willing to give up the throne to become a peasant for Aurora. Meanwhile, she embraced being a royal to be with him in the end. Beyond the couple being loyal and determined to remain together, regardless of what life throws at them, the two also have a love for animals.

I have the opposite of seasonal affective disorder whenever the sun shines for the first time in a while I feel like I've snorted a line or something. barely slept last night but the sun is shining so I'm literally fine even though a night like this in worse circumstances could render me unable to function normally for 2 or so days. not sure how this works but I'm not complaining

Sleeping Beauty Spring: "Sleeping Beauty" (1959 Disney animated film)

In contemporary American popular culture, this lavish animated feature defines the story of Sleeping Beauty. Countless children have grown up with this version of the tale, not just through the film itself, but through dolls, picture books, Halloween costumes, t-shirts, accessories, and visits to the pop culture icon that is Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle. Yet as an adaptation of of the fairy tale, it plays particularly fast and loose with the original plot. But the liberties it takes work to its advantage. Disney infuses the tale with emotion, conflict, and action that more strictly faithful adaptations lack, but which suit the art form of cinema.

The film's first and foremost departure from the classic tale is to flesh out and humanize the fairies, rather than portraying them as just ethereal agents of fate. The three good fairies, Flora (voice of Verna Felton), Fauna (Barbara Jo Allen), and Merryweather (Barbara Luddy), are small elderly ladies, each with her own distinct, endearing personality. In sharp, powerful contrast to their goodness and warmth stands Maleficent (Eleanor Audley) – not the mere angry fairy of tradition, but a majestic dark sorceress, the self-proclaimed "mistress of all evil," and one of Disney's most iconic villains. Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather are the true protagonists of this film, as the story is rewritten to revolve around their efforts to save Princess Aurora (voiced by the golden-toned operatic soprano Mary Costa) from Maleficent's evil magic.

After Merryweather softens Maleficent's curse on Aurora from death to sleep, the three good fairies take further steps to try to prevent the curse from coming to pass at all. In another drastic departure from the traditional tale, King Stefan and his queen entrust their baby daughter to the fairies, who disguise themselves as peasant women and raise her as their foster child in the forest, changing her name to "Briar Rose." (Thus her name from the Grimms' version of the tale and her name from Tchaikovsky's ballet both get their due.) They plan to take her back to the castle at sunset on her sixteenth birthday, when the curse will end, to reunite with her parents and to marry her betrothed, Prince Phillip (Bill Shirley).

Sixteen years later, in the forest, Briar Rose and Prince Phillip meet by chance and fall in love, neither knowing the other's identity. Afterwards, Briar Rose is distraught to learn her own royal identity and betrothal, because it means leaving her "peasant boy" behind. When the fairies take her back to the castle, they allow the sad princess a few moments alone. Unfortunately, Maleficent seizes the chance to hypnotize Aurora and leads her up to a tower where a spinning wheel waits.

As the fairies put the whole royal court to sleep along with Aurora, they learn that the young man she met in the forest was, in fact, Prince Phillip. But Maleficent captures and imprisons the prince to prevent him from waking Aurora with true love's kiss. This leads to what may be the most dramatic change from the traditional story: Aurora and the court's enchanted sleep doesn't last for a hundred years, but just one night, the length of time it takes for the fairies to help Prince Phillip escape from Maleficent's dungeon and reach King Stefan's castle. After Phillip chops through the forest of thorns Maleficent creates to bar his way, Maleficent transforms herself into a fire-breathing dragon, and an epic battle takes place. In the end, of course, the dragon is slain, and Phillip's kiss wakes Aurora, who finally meets her parents and takes her place as princess by her prince's side, while the good fairies happily look on.

Walt Disney set out to make Sleeping Beauty his greatest animated feature thus far, and its visual spectacle and elegance have rarely been equalled before or since. With artist Eyvind Earl as the animation's chief stylist, the entire picture has the look of a rich medieval tapestry, combined with with sleek traces of 1950s modern art too, and the film's widescreen Super Technirama 70 format gives it an epic dimension far different from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs or Cinderella. The visual beauty is enhanced by the classical-flavored musical score by George Bruns, based on motifs from Tchaikovsky's ballet – of the few songs sung by the characters, the standout is the main love theme, "Once Upon a Dream," based on Tchaikovsky's famous Garland Waltz. Some critics might find the whole atmosphere too sophisticated and serious compared to other, livelier films in Disney's animated canon. But the excellent voice cast brings their roles to life, and the film's focus on Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather adds warmth, lightness, and gentle humor to balance out the medieval elegance.

While I can't say if Walt Disney succeeded or not in making Sleeping Beauty greater than all his earlier animated features, it's most definitely one of the crown jewels of the Disney animated canon. And while it's not the most faithful retelling of the classic fairy tale, its sheer artistic quality as a film is hard for any other version to equal.

Good morning, spring has come to the castle

This 100 page comic book adaptation of Disney's Sleeping Beauty, released in 1959 to acompany the movie's release, while still very close to the movie, ads small details that expand the characters characterizations.

Particularly in the life of the Three Fairies raising the Princess in the Cottage: It shows Fauna and Flora got to have more fun bathing, feeding and craddling the baby (humorously Flora sits in the baby craddle while holding Aurora in her arms and singing a lullaby), while Merryweather had to make the harder work of sewing, cleaning, baking, cooking and chopping wood, wich initially she dislikes, but over 16 years she grows acostumed to.

That makes even clearer that while the other Fairies love Merryweather, they take her for granted, so you get why she is frustrated when Flora doesn't let her make the dress (even tough she is the one who knows sewing) and choose the color: she is desiring the proper recognition of her efforts that Flora doesn't give to her.

And when the passage of time is shown, we see a bit of Aurora growing up with the Fairies, laughing when Merryweather gets her misle spots as a child, having her measures taken on the wall and trying to cheat by putting her foot on point.

And when she is sixteen, we read her toughts in balloons, and she receives some more dialogue.

This expands her characterization a bit by giving her some more sass, along with the beauty, grace and romantic sensibilities that were already present in the movie.

And the wood animals talk among each other about how they consider an event to listen her singing.

Queen Leah got more lines as well, and Hubert and Stefan got to age together: Hubert starts with red hair and Stefan with black hair. When the sixteen years pass, they get white hair.

Different from the movie where Hubert started and ended with white hair and Stefan started and remained with black hair.

There is a detail where Hubert tries to atack Maleficent with his sword and Stefan stops him to protect him from her magic, wich is a nice touch of contrasting their personalities.
