Sleeping Beauty can be described as exciting, touching, and stylized. The plot revolves around a Cinderella story, true love, and an imaginary kingdom. The main genres are romance, family, and animation. In terms of style, Sleeping Beauty is fairytale-like and stars a strong female character. In approach, it is fantastical. It is set, at least in part, in the woods and in a palace, castle, or temple. Sleeping Beauty takes place in the middle ages. The soundtrack is show tunes. It is drawn from a folktale. Sleeping Beauty has received attention for being a classic, a blockbuster, and critically acclaimed. It is well suited for kids and a family outing.

Summary of Sleeping Beauty

A beautiful princess born in a faraway kingdom is destined by a terrible curse to prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and fall into a deep sleep which can only be awakened by true love's first kiss. Though the titular princess is on par with the rest of Disney's essential heroines, most of the fun arises from the trio of charming fairies entrusted with her care: Flora, Fauna, and Meriweather. Meanwhile the evil Malificent may just be Disney's most chilling villainess. This classic makes wondrous use of Tchaikovsky's same-titled ballet score, which earned Sleeping Beauty an Academy Award nomination for Best Scoring of a Musical Picture.
