Thoughts on Sleeping Beauty

Apr 21, 2020 13:09

Is the best part of Sleeping Beauty when Phillip looks at Baby Aurora and is like, "No thanks." (No, the best part is when Maleficent has Phillip in chains and hits on him, but I digress).

Also, did you know that Mary Costa (voice of Aurora) is still alive and kicking?

I'm sure it made sense way back when this was written (the fairy tale, not the Disney movie) but why is it a spinning wheel? Was pricking your finger on that like, a thing?

God, Fauna is just the best. "You know, sometimes I don't think she's really very happy."

I know it's a fairy tale, and I'm totally behind it, but it still cracks me up how Phillip just jumps into her song and is like, "Hey baby, I'm totally your dream prince," and Aurora's like "K". Also, he says, "I didn't mean to frighten you." How in the fuck did you think she was going to react?

Aurora's answer to "when can I see you again" progress extremely quickly from "never", to "maybe someday", to "this evening". With very little prodding.

Oh God, the cake that isn't baked, but is frosted and has LIT CANDLES on it, just KILLS ME.

There are so many drunk people in old Disney movies.

The oboe music and the green fire used to scare me so bad as a kid. Still pretty effective, I have to say.

The visuals in this movie are so beautiful. It's really a testament to animation. The whole thing is like a painting come to life.

Maleficent: "I have plans for our royal guest." Yeah, I bet you do, you saucy minx. Otherwise, surely she would just kill him? Or maybe Merryweather's spell means she can't, since the true love's kiss is part of it? Then again, maybe Maleficent just thought making Phillip wait 100 years would be HILARIOUS. (Which it kind of is).

Who do you think painted Maleficent's nails?

Somehow, turning the raven into stone is an ok use of the good fairies' magic.

Samson doesn't get enough credit. I kind of think Phillip doesn't either man, he charges right at that dragon. (And Merryweather tries to follow him, lol).

When Phillip's cape gets caught on the thorns? NO CAPES.

To end with: The definitive question:
Poll Dress Color
