Sleeping Beauty : 5 of 5

I always get really excited about a "first time on DVD" release, since I plan on owning all of the Disney animated classics on DVD. I'm so glad that they've released Sleeping Beauty with the respect it deserves in this fantastic two DVD set! I'm not sure if I ever saw the entire film as a child, but now I can fully appreciate it as an adult Disney fan - the incredibly detailed background paintings, the unique "living storybook" style, the 70mm widescreen format, the great use of the Tchaikovsky ballet music, and all of the excitement and characterization make this a spectacular achievement. The bonus features are spectacular, too, with lots of discussion of the film's development and the animators' talent. Also included are TV segments that were used to promote the film, and even the Grand Canyon 30-minute short, which was released with the film in theaters! I had a wonderful time enjoying this masterpiece.
