Sleeping Beauty (Disney Princess: Big Golden Books)

Product Information

Sleeping Beauty" ( French: La Belle au bois dormant, or The Beauty in the Sleeping Forest; German: Dornröschen, or Little Briar Rose), also titled in English as The Sleeping Beauty in the Woods, is a fairy tale about a princess cursed by an evil fairy to sleep for a hundred years before being awakened by a handsome prince. A good fairy, knowing the princess would be frightened if alone when she wakes, uses her wand to put every living person and animal in the palace and forest asleep, to awaken when the princess does. [1] It was Charles Perrault, however, who first made the fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty famous, when he included it in his landmark 1697 collection of fairy stories. Yet as we remarked at the beginning of our summary and analysis of this, one of the most famous of all fairy tales, the basic story predates Perrault, and a similar version can be found in the 1630 Pentamerone.

A 2014 live-action adaptation of the film, Maleficent, tells the story from the perspective of the antagonist (played by Angelina Jolie). [235] It was followed by a sequel, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, in 2019. [236] Live-action versions of Sleeping Beauty characters are featured in the fantasy television series Once Upon a Time (produced by Disney-owned ABC Studios), including Maleficent, [237] Aurora, [238] Prince Phillip, [239] and King Stefan. [240] Maleficent is a main villain in the 2015 television film Descendants, which follows the teenage children of Disney's iconic heroes and villains (including Maleficent's daughter Mal [241] and Audrey, the daughter of Aurora and Phillip). [242]Soon it was time for each Fairy to give her blessing to the baby. When it came to Maleficent’s turn, she stood up and pointed her long finger at the sleeping baby girl in the cradle.
