Description:
Sleeping Beauty magically comes to life in this adaptation of the timeless classic featuring multi-award-winning voice talent Barbara Rosenblat and Georgia Lee Schultz as Aurora.
On the birth of Princess Aurora, an evil fairy places a curse on her and declares that before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday, she will die by pricking her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel. To protect her from the evil spell, the king agrees to place Aurora in the care of three spirited good fairies who live in a cottage in the woods. One of the fairies conjures a spell so Aurora will fall into a deep sleep instead, to be awakened only by a kiss from her true love.
