I liked Sleeping Beauty much better
than Cinderella. The comedy in this one seemed less irritating to me. And I
have to confess I have a strong childhood memory of seeing pictures in a book
taken from the Disney film (especially of the three good fairies) and being enthralled
by them – trying to decide which color-fairy I liked the best. I kind of liked
how Merryweather kept bickering with the bossy one. (Pink/blue/pink/blue)
The visual look of the film also appealed to me. Apparently
it was the last Disney film to use hand-inked cels. I was drawn to the scenery
which was done by Eyvind Earle.
I also liked the music better—what’s not to like about Tchaikovsky?
And of course Malificent was magnificent….Who knew about the
dragon!?!? Supercool. I loved how her little crow side-kick (Diablo?) got
turned into a crow-gargoyle. Even the proverbial goons were kind if entertaining.
All in all not a bad movie.
