As a child I loved Disney movies so I’m delighted my two little ones love them too! Snuggled up on the sofa I get to re-live all those wonderful childhood memories and share my favourite Disney movies with them.
One of my all time favourites is Sleeping Beauty (originally released in 1959) is about to be re-released on June 2nd. Imagine our delight to be offered the chance to review this wonderful classic in all it’s new glory!
For those not familiar with the story let us share with you the magical tale…
Sleeping beauty
The story begins with the birth of Princess Aurora (voiced by Mary Costa), the precious daughter of King Stefan and his wife. To celebrate the arrival of the Princess, three good fairies – Flora, Fauna & Merryweather bestow gifts of magic on Aurora, but an evil sorceress named Maleficent, (who my daughter loved to hate,) places a curse upon the little Princess – that she will die on her 16th birthday after touching the poisoned spindle of a spinning wheel. Merryweather tries to undo the damage by casting a spell that will allow the Princess to awake from an ageless sleep with a kiss from her one true love.
Sleeping Beauty for us is a breathtakingly beautiful and timeless fantasy that my two want to watch time and time again. With Maleficent, a new studio film about the ultimate villain starring Angelina Jolie hitting cinemas 28th May, there has never been a better time to revisit this must-have classic.
To celebrate the upcoming release of Sleeping Beauty we’ve a lovely colouring sheet for you to download and print off for the little ones!
