Confession time - This was my favorite Disney movie of all time until Aladin came out. So until the age of 8, this was my favorite. Oh, how the times have changed. Pricess Aurora may have the fewest lines of any Disney Princess. She's more of a MacGuffin than an actual character. Suffice to say, she's no Cinderella. The fairies are still the best part of the movie, and Maleficent is a villain with a lot of style (played by the same actress who voiced the wicked stepmother). Overall though, this movie has very little to offer, and drags a little, even with a 74 minute run time.
The movie can be summed up in the scene where Briar Rose finds our she's actually Princess Aurora. The fairies just blurt it out, and rather than reacting like "HOLY CRAP!! I'M A GD PRINCESS!?!?! AND I'M BETROTHED?! AND MY PARENTS ARE ALIVE?! AND I'VE BEEN RAISED BY !@#^&$% FAIRIES?! WTF, Y'ALL?!?!?!?!" She just cries because she can't marry the random dude she met in the woods. No reaction to the copious amounts of life shattering news that was just dumped on her. What a brat! This is why princesses get as much respect as Rodney Dangerfield. NONE! That does it! we're taking a break from Princesses! Tomorrow, it's Jungle Book time!
6.5/10 (for the fairies and maleficent only)
Oh, and that dress should've stayed BLUE!!! (Merriweather gets no respect!)
