AURORA SLEEPING BEAUTY MOVIE
Aurora's princess dress follows the high fashion standards of The '50s (which focused on shape and smoothness over loads of decoration), compared to rest of the outfits in the movie (although even those have varying degrees of Hollywood Costuming).But the film takes place in the 14th century, and the waltz wasn't invented until the 18th century.

During the forest scene and the finale, Aurora and Phillip dance the waltz.All There in the Script: Maleficent's raven, Diablo, is never actually named in the movie, nor did Stefans wife or the unnamed herald.All for Nothing: The fairies manage to protect Aurora but fail to prevent the curse from being fulfilled, as Maleficent finds out her location, and once she's alone, makes the curse come true right before the sun sets, and calls the fairies out for failing their mission.Alcohol Hic: Sir Minstrel, the court composer that gets badly drunk on wine and passes out under the table, hiccups the whole time.It's the fairies who are the main stars of the film.

The movie is named after her and she is barely even in it, and has a total of eighteen lines of dialogue. Eventually, though, she gets her name changed back to Aurora.

Adaptation Origin Connection: The prince in the fairy tale had no connection to the princess - given the hundred year time gap.Actionized Adaptation: There's an action-packed climax where Maleficent turns into a dragon and battles the prince, in contrast to the story where he awakens Aurora without trouble.If Walt's original plan had been followed, the fairies would have been Single-Minded Triplets with no distinctive personalities (quite ironic, as it was Walt Disney himself who pushed for the dwarfs in Snow White to have distinct personalities). because the animators had so much fun fleshing out the Three Good Fairies that the film completely unintentionally became a Perspective Flip about the efforts of three heroines and the prince to rescue the sleeping beauty from an evil fairy. Technically, the final film is rather streamlined with one major plot. Walt wanted the story to be more streamlined, focusing on the central plot about the two lovers without the numerous side plots involving minor characters like dwarves or mice.
AURORA SLEEPING BEAUTY HOW TO
Having already adapted two similar Fairy Tales, the biggest challenge story-wise was how to make the plot different without recycling too many elements. By a bit of contortion, they manage to come up with a reason for calling the heroine both Aurora and Briar Rose (the French and German versions of her name rendered into English). Entry #16 of the Disney Animated Canon, Disney made the Fairy Tale " Sleeping Beauty" into a movie in 1959, based loosely on Charles Perrault's fairy tale with a number of elements from Peter Tchaikovsky's ballet, including the title, Sleeping Beauty, the entire musical score, as well as the princess's name, Aurora.
