If you’re a fan of films like the newer "Maleficent," then this is an excellent example of how those stories should be handled. I feel that it does a lot to clarify why I frequently find myself rooting for the villains in movies. A princess, called “Briar Rose,” comes into the world and three benevolent fairies are brought together at her christening to offer their blessings. As the third fairy is about to give her gift, an undeniably wicked witch appears with her raven companion. She wasn’t invited, which is quite impolite, but she still gives the child a present for the occasion. It's no surprise that the kingdom experienced some trouble with spinning after that, and the girl is hidden away in the forest, attempting to avoid the terrible results of this unpleasant curse. Some of the most memorable scenes in animation depict the fairies’ attempts to bake a cake and create a dress for her sixteenth birthday—and those efforts are quite disastrous. After sixteen years have passed, they decide to use their wands, resulting in five minutes of classic Disney enchantment. They can't come to an agreement about the color of the dress, leading to a magical color battle that’s spotted by the witch’s bird and their clever scheme is carelessly revealed. The colors, lighthearted conversations, and George Bruns’ score (with some Tchaikovsky) combine to make this a very pleasant fantasy romance—in my opinion, it's the finest film Walt ever made.
