Sleeping Beauty (1959) is a classic Walt Disney animated film known for its distinctive, stylized art, inspired by medieval tapestries, and its score adapted from Tchaikovsky's ballet. The story follows Princess Aurora, cursed by the evil fairy Maleficent to die on her 16th birthday, but saved by three good fairies who raise her in secret until Prince Phillip can break the curse with true love's kiss after defeating Maleficent in dragon form. Despite its artistic acclaim, the film was a box-office disappointment initially but has since become a beloved classic, notable for being the last Disney animated feature before the studio began using Xerox for animation cells.
