Once upon a dream...

Well, remember I said I would talk about anything that had to do with entertainment well, I really am. Usually something I did, bought or like. Ever since I was little kid I liked movies, Disney movies off course were my favorites, and my favorite of them all was Sleeping Beauty. I always liked magic and this for me is the most magical of the Disney movies. I particularly loved the scene where the fairies would get their wands to work on the cake and the dress. I always have fun watching that scene, and the dark scenes were filled with mystery and suspense, such as Maleficent`s castle where her little monsters are dancing around the green fire yelling and shouting. Long story short I bought the 50th anniversary edition at Wall-mart.

First of all the DVD cover is beautiful, we have Princess Aurora and the Prince on the top the castle on the side, fairies on the other side and the dragon fight on the bottom. In the middle we read “Walt Disney Sleeping Beauty, 50th Anniversary”. A Beautiful cover, the art in it and the details are fantastic, they used a type of gloss on the cover that makes is shiny and rich looking. The movie itself continuous to be fabulous, and this time we can watch it with a digital restoration, which really makes a difference.



The bonus features are really what won me over on this platinum edition. This
edition was most definitely created for people my generation more than children. They do have a couple of games that are pretty easy and child focused. All the other bonus features are completely directed to a more adult audience. They have a “making of” between other very interesting bonus features. Sequence 8 is a very interesting small bonus about the dancing sequence where she meets the prince, it took over a year and more than ten thousand dollars to complete that sequence, it took the artists three days to complete one second. No one denies that the sequence ended up amazing. They also show deleted songs, alternate opening, and publicity. The art gallery is amazing, with drawings from various stages of the production and all characters. There is whole “documentary” about the history of the walk through attraction of sleeping beauty`s castle in Disneyland. Everything is really interesting and worth watching. If you like this movie or even grew up on it, I would definitely recommended. Something you need to have in your collection! ;D
