4.0 out of 5 stars "quickly now quickly, blow out the candle.....", August 5, 2005
By Byron Kolln (the corner where Broadway meets Hollywood) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This version of SLEEPING BEAUTY, part of the Cannon MovieTales series, is a real charmer.

The story is told pretty much as we all remember, but with a few new touches. A childless King and Queen are given a magical potion by a kindly elf. When the lovely Princess Rosebud is born, all the fairies are invited to bestow gifts upon the child. However, due to a miscounting of the golden dinner plates, the fearsome Red Fairy is left off the guest-list. Enraged, she gatecrashes the event and curses Rosebud to a premature death from the prick of a spindle. The wise White Fairy remedies the curse by changing the death to sleep, and the awakening of Rosebud with the kiss of true love. In the meanwhile, all spindles are banned from the kingdom.

In the passing years, with all the clothes in the kingdom dissolved to rags because of the absence of spindles and sewing-needles, the King and Queen travel to the far reaches and bring back reams of fabrics. During their absence, the Red Fairy sees the perfect opportunity to see her curse come true...

Morgan Fairchild, Tahnee Welch, Jane Weidlin and Sylvia Miles all offer fine performances in this adaptation of the oft-told fairytale. There is a certain campy charm about the Cannon MovieTales series, which were filmed rather economically in Israel (and you'll notice that many of the films have the same sets). The score isn't terribly complex but is enjoyable and features "Spin Spin Spin", "Life is Rosier Today" and "Slumber". Even Tchaikovsky's famed score is used for the christening scene.

Charming family viewing.

5.0 out of 5 stars YOU'VE NEVER SEEN A VERSION THIS LOVELY!!!, March 30, 2003
By Derek C. Dehaas "persnickety fussbudget" (Westminster, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As much as I love the classic Disney version of this tale, there is definitely something that must be said for such a beautiful live action film. Part of the legendary (and impossible to find) Cannon Movie Tales series, Sleeping Beauty is an enchanting classical treat! The sets, costumes, songs, and actors are all beautifully "spun" together to create the perfect family viewing experience. Sylvia Miles should recieve an award for her LARGER THAN LIFE portrayal of the angry Red Fairy....oooh!
It's quite simply an enveloping, mesmerising film. If you can still find a copy of this one, get it!

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVED THIS, April 26, 2004
By "acassidy19" (Antioch, CA USA) - See all my reviews
I first saw this movie on TV when I was really little...like, 6, maybe. My mom taped it off of TV, and I watched it all the time. I couldn't find the video that my mom taped it for a few years, then about 3 years ago I found it...and annoyed my mom when I watched it again, and again, and again...I LOVE THIS MOVIE! I am 19 and I still love this movie...my friends and family think I am crazy, because of my age...but the movie is absolutly beautiful, and the songs are so memmorable. Even Morgan Fairchild does a good job. I love the white fairy...she's my favorite character. I think everyone needs to see it!
