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.
