VHS Movie Reviews of Sleeping Beauty (Special Edition)
Movie Review: ONLY BEAUTY DESERVES THIS HONOR!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I cannot think of a more deserving Disney animated classic than SLEEPING BEAUTY to be the FIRST to be released on a platinum edition BLU-RAY disc.
Owning the two-disc DVD edition, and seeing the splendid already restored negative in that release, I can only imagine the magnificent quality of the 1080p picture and 7 channel Dolby soundtrack. This is one of Disney's most ambitious and yet underestimated film, in my opinion the best of the animated classics. I cannot wait until October 7th to see this on my home theatre screen. Hurry Disney!!!
Movie Review: New Release Coming OCTOBER 7, 2008!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Walt Disney's animated classic "Sleeping Beauty" will once again be waltzing onto dvd this Ocotber 7, 2008! Like many other Disney dvd collectors, I was unable to get the previous release, due to the short release time that it spent on the store shelf! Needless to say, I'll be pre-ordering and getting a copy of this updated release- which will no doubt be on standard dvd, HD dvd, and BluRay dvd! I will also be ready to add "Pinocchio" (1940)-release date: March 2009, "Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs"(1938)- release date: October 2009, "Fantasia" (1940) release date: November 2009, and "Beauty & The Beast" (1991) release date: October 2010, to my Disney dvd collection! As we all know "release dates" are ALWAYS subject to change at the whim of a Disney executive!
Disney fans who haven't already got, or would just like to have an extra copy- should grab their copies of "Cinderella" (1950) and "Aladdin" (1992), as well as their sequels- for they're on their way back to the vault!

Movie Review: poor quality
Summary: 1 Stars
I had a suspicion when I saw this product that it was a pirated version, and once I received it, I'm pretty sure it is. The quality of the dvd is poor...after the first viewing, it pixelates constantly in the beginning or just doesn't play at all. I should have trusted my first instinct and not purchased this dvd, especially considering how much it cost. Movie Review: Perfect for Little Girls
Summary: 5 Stars
My 5 year old has been wanting Sleeping Beauty for months, but it is not available in stores. I found this on Amazon.com and bought it. I was a great purchase. I think she and her little sister have watched it a million times already. It is a great movie. I highly recommend it to anyone with little girls who love Disney Princesses.Movie Review: Some films improve with age..."Sleeping Beauty" is one of them...
Summary: 5 Stars
When 'Sleeping Beauty' was first released it was the target of critical villification--perhaps because of the more stylized art work. The art work is actually a leap forward from 'Snow White' and the earlier classics. It took me awhile to get used to the new technique when I first viewed the film--but now I recognize how effectively it manages to convey the "feel" of a genuine fairy-tale.
A nice discussion of the art work is featured in 'The Making of Sleeping Beauty' which accompanies the latest VHS release of the film. Aside from the richly textured backgrounds and brilliant animation, 'Beauty' is blessed with the rapturous singing voice of Mary Costa's light soprano doing full justice to the ballad, 'Once Upon A Dream'. The idea of using Tchaikovsky's 'Sleeping Beauty' music for the background score and songs was an excellent decision. Music is used throughout to emphasize either the bright or darker moments in the story, always very effectively. Choral work is superb, as are the orchestrations.
This is a film that can be enjoyed on so many different levels--music, animation, story, art work--it ranks with the very best of the classic fairy-tales from Disney. And yes, Maleficent, in all of her wicked glory, makes the most impressive fire-breathing dragon you're ever likely to see!
Just acquired the 2-Disc DVD version and it's a fascinating Collector's Item for anyone truly interested in this animated classic, with all the extra features giving you "the whole package" on Disney's back story and illustrating how the film was conceived from the start. It also gives you the option of Fullscreen or Widescreen versions.
