DVD Review: Sleeping Beauty: 50th Anniversary Platinum Edition - Page 2

There are some interesting featurettes though, including the rough storyboard of an alternate opening featuring a bombastic musical number, as well as several other deleted songs. A nearly 45-minute making-of featurette is a nice addition for the diehards and anyone else willing to put in the time.

Sleeping Beauty is an excellent film — I marvel at the wisdom of the filmmakers in making a children's film that only runs 75 minutes. It's the perfect amount of time to keep a child engaged, and modern filmmakers ought to take note.

For everyone else, Sleeping Beauty is just as enchanting, and the new DVD and Blu-ray releases honor that legacy.
