I Think This is a great move. This is Art Disney has made!!! Some parents will find it to scarry for ther kids & Maleficent does call her frends from the under world &says the H word but all& all it has happey ending.I am a Disney nut so someone else may view this diffrent.
Its not a bad movie or anything, but i don't like the message it's implying, that girl's are weak and useless and a boy has to save them to save the day.
The message is true love conquers all, but Maleficent is a very scary villian but neat for older kids and adults. She's so powerful they put her as the lead villian in Kingdom Hearts. The scene where Philip kills her does show some blood but nothing too graphic.
I love this film. There's typical Disney violence, but one fight scene between a dragon and the prince is more scary. Aurora and the prince kiss. The word, "h-ll" is used, but not as lanuague. In one scene, two kings start getting drunk. Aurora is sweet, but she is the typical dasmel-in-distress who dreams of a prince. And she talks to a stranger all by herself, which could have been dangerous. Just something to think about.
Sleeping Beauty is one of Disney's lesser films, and not really a classic at all. The films characters are memorable, but the films story is just fine. This film is also probably the most violent and terrifying of the Disney Animated flicks. It will definitely frighten young children. So this one is a pass.
Are you kidding me?! Five stars for kids aged 4 and up?! This movie is WAY too scary for kids that young. More importantly, what is the redeeming value of Sleeping Beauty? To teach little girls that their prince will save them, since they are obviously too foolish to protect themselves?
No matter what you say about this movie, if you look hard enough you can find anything, this movie is one of the Disney classics, which has elements of : romance, slight danger, suspense, drama and many more.
This movie is no different, this movie does have a positive message, it teaches us that deep down our parents do care about us, by giving up their child at the beginning they were doing the best for her by giving her a chance in life, and also that no matter how Aurora turned out they loved her all the same.
Aurora is a good role model because she teaches you to help others and to be nice to everyone, she doesn't judge people by their looks but likes their personality.
This movie is perfect in every way, some of you think it has violence but it has NONE AT ALL!!! For starters is in cartoon form, which should say that NONE of this movie is ever real, no dragons no nothing, you should also watch this with a parent so they can explain points you are unsure about so you don't feel scared, this movie is harmless and Disney would never produce anything that can hurt you!!!
The movie is okay, but my main problem with all of Disney's Princess movies is that the girls are weak and need to be saved by Prince Charming or whatever. It's a bad influence on little girls that they need to be pretty, skinny blond girls who can't be strong and need to be saved from something in the end. There is a LOT of merchandise- Halloween costumes, commercials, dolls, books, etc., so be careful. Otherwise, it's an okay movie for young girls.
I have the DVD of this movie, but I haven't watched it until recently. It's a good movie, but some scenes may be too intense for younger viewers. But it's still a good movie, and I don't know why CSM didn't say the movie had positive messages or role models. It has good messages about courage and caring for others. OK for kids 5+. Violence: Maleficent can be quite scary for younger kids. She has her minions capture the Prince and beat him up, but it's mostly offscreen. Near the end, she tranforms into a dragon and attempts to kill the prince. The prince throws his sword at Maleficent (in her dragon form) and it impales her in the chest (with a little animated blood shown) and she falls off a cliff to her death. But nothing too graphic is shown. Sex: Prince Phillip and Princess Aurora are shown dancing together, both in the woods and at their wedding and do share a brief kiss, but nothing other than that. Language: One use of the word "hell" as a reference to the place. Drinking: The kings are both shown drinking what appears to be champange to celebrate the prince and princess's wedding, and a minstrel sneaks some and drinks enough to get drunk, hiccuping and passing out underneath the table.
Why can't Disney portray women as strong or independent for once? Just like Snow White, Cinderella, and every other damzel-in-distress princess story before it, Sleeping Beauty shows women as people who need a man to come in and save the day. The plot line wasn't that interesting either. If you really want a good Disney movie, try Mulan.
