  • Sleeping Beauty -- Animated children's tale in which a bad fairy casts a spell on the Princess Aurora (voice of Mary Costa) causing eternal sleep until her true love, Prince Philip (voice of Bill Shirley), gets some help from a trio of good fairies in overcoming a ferocious dragon and awakening the princess. Directed by Clyde Geronomi with music from the Tchaikovsky ballet, this classic story of love conquering evil remains Walt Disney's last great achievement of storytelling in fully-detailed animation. Fine family entertainment. (A-I) (G) ( 1959 )
