5.0 out of 5 stars a medieval tapestry coming to life........, 16 Oct 2008
By Horatio Guttersnipe (London, England) - See all my reviews
What is so exquisite about Sleeping Beauty is that it looks like a medieval tapestry coming to life. If you look closely at the details in the backgrounds you can see little twists in the leaves and curves in the tree bark which overall gives an ornate and opulent look still refreshing to this day. It was the most expensive film in it's day, it took over four years to make and Walt Disney stated to his artists and animators that they should take their time over it, make it beautiful and so it came as a shock when it didn't do all that well in the cinemas. It wasn't really able to communicate to an american youth who were smoking things they shouldn't and it seemed this highly romantic film was too idealistic in it's portrayal of young love, it felt as if it should have been released earlier than the late 1950's, so culturally you can see that it wasn't able to make audiences identify with it. But this is probably the one Disney film which stands the test of time better than any other, artistically speaking; since the music is exemplary and the imagery and animation highly captivating, more so than anything Disney has attempted in recent years. In places it is so beautiful to watch.

The Disney studios today have developed the way they tell fairy tales now to another stunning level as 2010 will mark a new leap in visual storytelling for the company with the release of Rapunzel Unbraided, a computer animated film which has the feel and sensitivity of a traditional animated 2d film yet with the texture of an oil painting coming to life. For years now the company has been trying to reinvent their style, pushing their visual language to another stratosphere and they may well have done it in Rapunzel, but from what I have viewed it does echo slightly the romantic style of Sleeping Beauty, it's attention to detail is just as shimmering and splendid ... we'll have to see. We can see though that this film, Sleeping Beauty, set a standard which modern animators and film makers still aim for and that is why Sleeping Beauty is such an enduring work of art, as it really aimed to make animation a cinematic art form, it was ahead of it's time and held a maturity wiser than it's time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, 10 Mar 2009
This has amazing colour, extra footage at the sides that wouldn't fit on cinema screens when the film was released so it feels at times like you are watching something completely new, thinking I can't remember this bit then you realise its because theres more detail on screen.

Because its blue ray they can fit even more on each disc so the extras you get are fantastic, theres long nearly film length documentarys on the blue-ray (film) disc and then loads on a separate disc including walt disney world and the walt disney show that was broadcast every week in america when disney world was being constructed explaining rides etc. Pictures of the original artwork and the ideas behind it, things in the planning stages that weren't used - planning what characters will look like etc. . .interviews and comments by the original artists. . .it just goes on and on.

You also get a normal dvd. Whats the point of that..? Well if I want to watch it in bed or in another room to the blue-ray player if someones watching the tv I can. You don't get a free blue ray with a DVD do you so invest in a blue ray player if you haven't already. . .you're really missing out. . . .and get this!

10/10 for everything.
