A classic

I already saw this movie but since it was ages ago and since it was available on Disney+, I was really eager to check it out again. Well, even though it is definitely a classic, in this genre, I think that 'Sleeping Beauty' is actually vastly superior though. Indeed, even though the animation was fine here, the animation in 'Sleeping Beauty'  was however from a different level as it was really gorgeous  and quite mesmerizing. Furthermore, if you would compare her to Maleficent, Lady Tremaine was a rather pathetic bad guy after all. I was also surprised by how little I did remember the first half but it actually made sense since it was in fact terribly unremarkable. Indeed, eventually, they didn't spend so much time with the main character and she could have been more developed. Instead, they decided to focus on some mice which was rather disappointing. Eventually, it was only when the Fairy Godmother finally showed up that the damned thing finally took off but, fortunately, it was definitely worth the wait though. Indeed, it is still one of the most iconic scenes ever delivered by Disney and it is still so enchanting even after so many decades have passed by. From this point on, the whole thing was actually fairly entertaining even if we all already know how it will end. It's a pity that they pretty much messed up a good chunk of the running time with the typical Disney talking animals, and, especially with a rather short running time, they should have probably not wasted any of it. Anyway, to conclude, even if it is far from being one of Disney's best animated features, it is still a classic romantic fairy tale though and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
