VHS Movie Reviews of Sleeping Beauty (Fully Restored Limited Edition) (Walt Disney's Masterpiece) [VHS]

Movie Review: Still holds up very well
Summary: 5 Stars

I know it's not saying a lot, but this movie is better than 99% of the movies that come out nowadays. It really is a timeless classic. Everything is just as Walt intended, unlike many of the disney movies in recent years that I think have lost their way and entirely miss the sense of what he was trying to accomplish. Many of Disney's recent classics are not really Timeless. For example, I recently watched Alladin and was astonished by the number of 90's pop culture references in the film. While hilarious, they probably won't hold up to the test of time and future audiences may be confused.
Another example:
Disney's upcoming film about the frog princess looks like it will no doubt be an atrocity. Aside from there being what looks like an inter-racial couple, (which would make Walt Disney roll over in his grave), the movie just looks incredibly stupid and full of stereotypes and poop humor. I think it's great that they are trying to incorporate African-Americans into their movies finally, but does that mean that the movie automatically takes place in some poor ghetto slum and all the characters have to speak ebonics? Apparently it does, and the movie looks to be one massive stereotype.

Movie Review: Disney Has Done It Again!
Summary: 5 Stars

I collect the Disney Classics and this new Blu-Ray did not dissapoint. It was beautifully remastered in both picture quality and audio. The colors are so amazing in this upgrade and the characters we fell in love with as children are just as grand as they once were. This is a wonderful gift idea for anyone. Highly recommend!

Movie Review: A Magical Restoration
Summary: 5 Stars

It wasn't until a friend of mine showed me the restored version of this particular Disney classic that I realized what wonders it really does for an older animated film.
Sleeping Beauty is brought back to life in this platinum edition with fully restored color and special features disc.
A great investment for sure, and nothing beats having the ability to watch the classic magic of Disney at your fingertips.

Movie Review: Classic Disney Movie
Summary: 5 Stars

My granddaughter is 2 years old and she has watched Sleeping Beauty so many times she has memorized some of the scenes! We recently bought a Blu-ray player and purchased this new DVD and the color is spectacular. This is still a classic Disney movie for everyone.

Movie Review: Actually, this is pretty boring
Summary: 3 Stars

I bought this for my daughter, thinking this would be a fun family-night movie. I'll admit I don't particularly love the "princess" genre of Disney movie, and this met my low expectations. I'm sorry I bought it because I doubt my daughter will ever want to watch it again.

Summary of Sleeping Beauty (Fully Restored Limited Edition) (Walt Disney's Masterpiece) [VHS]

Disney's 1959 animated effort was the studio's most ambitious to date, a widescreen spectacle boasting a gorgeous waltz-filled score adapting Tchaikovsky. In the 14th century, the malevolent Maleficent (not dissimilar to the wicked Queen in Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs) taunts a king that his infant Aurora will fatally prick her finger on a spinning wheel before sundown on her 16th birthday. This, of course, would deny her a happily-ever-after with her true love. Things almost but not quite turn out that way, thanks to the assistance of some bubbly, bumbling fairies named Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather. It's not really all that much about the title character--how interesting can someone in the middle of a long nap be, anyway? Instead, those fairies carry the day, as well as, of course, good Prince Phillip, whose battle with the malevolent Maleficent in the guise of a dragon has been co-opted by any number of animated films since. See it in its original glory here. And Malificent's castle, filled with warthogs and demonic imps in a macabre dance celebrating their evil ways, manages a certain creepy grandeur. --David Kronke
