I got to open birthday presents today, and one of them was a platinum edition of sleeping beautySo I got to watch it in the non-fading-randomly-to-black and white version for the first time in ten years and in a legit format for the first time ever.
I still love it
Prince Phillip actually has a personality (and a name at that!). I realized that I must've had a huge crush on him when I was little. Maybe I still do. He was one of my favorite barbies, I think.
Aurora isn't your usual simpering and maligned do-gooder (this gets on my nerves in snow white really bad). She's slightly rebellious and intelligent enough to assess a situation (unless she's being hypnotized)
There is a drinking scene! (Skumps!)
The woman who did merryweather's voice did the Lady's from lady and the tramp :O and Flora was the voice of the queen of hearts, an elephant from dumbo, malecificent was the step-mother from cinderella.
The bonus documentaries were pretty interesting, especially the 4 artists paint 1 tree.
