Sleeping Beauty (1959)

Sleeping Beauty (1959) After the beautiful Princess Aurora is born into royalty, everyone gathers to celebrate. Everything is perfectly fine until an unwanted guest appears, the evil fairy Maleficent. Maleficent curses the young princess and announces that she will die by pricking her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel before sunset on her 16th birthday. Fortunately, one of the good fairies, Merryweather, changes the spell so Aurora will fall into a deep sleep instead, and the only way to wake her from her sleep is true love’s kiss. Finally the day comes. ??Pat ConollyAwards: 4 wins & 6 nominations totalBudget: $6,000,000 (estimated)Worldwide Gross: $51,600,000Soundtrack: Hail to the Princess Aurora ((1958) (uncredited))
