This
timeless
fairytale
deals
with
Princess
Aurora
who
is doomed
by a
curse
to die
when
pricking
her
finger
on a
spinning
wheel
before
her
16th
birthday
–
this
curse
was
laid
upon
her
by the
wicked
witch
Maleficent
at the
celebration
of the
newborn
princess.
To avoid
this
impending
disaster
the
king
destroys
all
spinning
wheels
and
she
is sent
away,
accompanied
by three
good
(but
sometimes
idiotic)
witches,
Fauna,
Flora
and
Merryweather.
But,
Maleficent
tricks
her
and
the
prophecy
is fulfilled.
The
good
witches
however
create
a loophole
which
has
her,
instead
of dying,
falling
into
a permanent
sleep,
unless
she
is kissed
by her
true
love.
But,
this
true
love
in the
form
of Prince
Phillip
is held
captive
by Maleficent.
Will
he escape
to save
his
love
and
will
the
wicked
witch
be thwarted?
You
know
the
answer
to that
one!
With
an amazing
new
look
and
approach
for
the
time,
this
Disney
offering
gave
the
fairytale
an entirely
new
mood
and
perspective,
from
the
fun
musical
moments,
detailed
castle-
and
forest
sequences,
to perilous
dragon
fighting
scenes.
And
to think
it is
half
a century
old!
