4.0 out of 5 stars Beverly d'Angelo and Bernadette Peters are standouts, October 8, 2004

SLEEPING BEAUTY is one of the earliest episodes in the FAERIE TALE THEATRE series. The production values are lavish and the costumes heavenly. Beverly d'Angelo and Bernadette Peters lead a strong cast.

The story recounts a childless king and queen (played by Sally Kellerman and Rene Auberjonois) who are finally blessed with a child after receiving some helpful advice from a fairy. At the child's christening, all the fairies are invited to bestow gifts upon the little princess. However, the wicked Henbane (Beverly d'Angelo) gets left off the list and gatecrashes the event, cursing the princess to a premature death from a spindle-prick. Kindly good fairy Cookie (Carol Kane) remedies the curse by changing a few details: the princess won't die, only sleep until woken by the kiss of a true Prince.

Utterly enchanting. Christopher Reeve is perfect as the Prince, with the cast also including Ron Rifkin and George Dzundra. Beverly d'Angelo is hilarious as the addled Henbane and Bernadette Peters is an ideal princess (she even gets to sing!).

5.0 out of 5 stars Faerie Tale Theatre on DVD!, September 16, 2004
By Heidi Anne Heiner (SurLaLune Fairy Tales.com) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
After years of waiting, Faerie Tale Theatre fans can finally own the series on DVD. Shelley Duvall's series originally appeared on Showtime 20 years ago and featured well-known and rising stars of the time. The series' enthusiastic interpretations of beloved fairy tales has made it a cult classic. Better yet, the DVD prices are affordable, especially after the high prices the used VHS copies have been earning in recent years.

About this episode:

The classic tale of Sleeping Beauty, expanded with comical touches.

Cast:
Bernadette Peters .... Sleeping Beauty
Christopher Reeve.... The Prince
Beverly D'Angelo .... Bad Fairy

5.0 out of 5 stars Faerie Tale Theatre: Sleeping Beauty, February 11, 2004
By Clob Lane (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
Charming and obviously one of the funniest episodes from Faerie Tale Theatre, this is the classic tale of a beauty who was cast into a spell of a deep sleep and a prince must come to kiss her in order to wake her and the rest of the kingdom. Bernadette Peters and Christopher Reeve are absolutely amazing in their roles and have excellent chemistry. Beverly D'Angelo was equally impressive as the wicked Henbane. The script is filled with hilarious one-liners and situations. A great episode.
