Awaken your senses to the majesty of SLEEPING BEAUTY, Walt Disney's classic fairy tale. See more than you've ever seen before through the magic of state-of-the-art technology, and experience this groundbreaking film restored beyond its original brilliance, in the way Walt envisioned it pristine, beautiful, utterly breathtaking. SLEEPING BEAUTY will transform your home into a fantastic world your family will want to experience again and again.
In the original story, Princess Aurora sleeps for 100 years before being awakened by a prince's kiss. In the Disney version, Prince Philip comes to her rescue much sooner. George Brun's orchestral score, which was nominated for an Academy Award, expertly blended famous themes from Tchaikovsky's ballet. With a budget that exceeded $6 million in 1959, this was Walt Disney's most lavish and expensive animated feature to date. Determined to make the characters as realistic as possible, Disney had a live action film shot with actors posing as Sleeping Beauty, the Prince, and Maleficent, for the animators to use. New York Times critic Bosley Crowther called the fight between Prince Philip and Maleficent the noisiest and scariest go-round he (Disney) has ever put into one of his films.

Customer Rating: Summary: Quality transfer ruined by ads, design Comment: This is easily the worst disc we have ever watched. Not because of the movie itself, which is a faithful - even gorgeous - transfer. But in the battle to get to see it.
First off, this disc includes TEN ads in the beginning! Fortunately, depending your player you can chapter skip, and so I did. Over, and over, and over. And then the screen went black, and I had to do it all again. It took almost 5 minutes just to GET to the movie!
Second, and perhaps worse, is the disc doesn't play for 2-3 minutes even when you DO get to the movie! This isn't a mistake, it actually warns you of this as the disc starts. And true to it's word, it just goes black for so long you think it's broken. If you get to the point of the disc playing, you literally have time to go make yourself a snack!
Combined, these 'features' are so infuriating that they cast a dark pall over the entire movie that never really went away. The best word to describe it is 'abusive.' I think Walt would roll in his grave if he knew how miserable an experience Disney has wrapped around and in front of his classic.

Si de verdad quieres saber de que es capaz en calidad de imagen tu blu-ray, tienes que tener este filme. Las ilustraciones , el detalle en los fondos y el estilo visual creado por Eyvind Earle no tienen comparación. Y se aprecia el minucioso trabajo artesanal de los artistas de Disney, esta calidad pone en evidencia, para nuestro deleite visual-y auditivo- las razones por las que La Bella durmiente perdió dinero en un principio, pero tienen que verla en alta definición para entender a que me refiero. Una produccion que comenzó en 1951 y terminó hasta 1958.. 7 años de producción!.
IMAGEN
Para esta producción Disney utilizó un formato muy especiál: Negativo Technirama de 35mm de doble cuadro,impreso en Technirama de 70mm, creando un "aspect ratio" de 2.55:1 . Es decir, 2 veces lo largo de una peli normal . Los dibujantes tuvieron que adaptarse y trabajar con ilustraciónes que abarcaban practicamente todo el restirador. Una de las gracias del Blu-ray es que tiene un detrás de cámaras realizada en los 50's para el show de "El mundo de Disney" en donde vemos gran parte del proceso de producción de La Bella Durmiente.
Este Blu-Ray vale la pena como ningún otro. Calidad en imágen y sonido insuperables, Especiales como para aventar para arriba, y entretenimiento divertido, musical, romántico, emocionante, sano y familiar. Una compra segura, un clásico inmortal.
