Presenting a special two-fer of firsts at the Rad Revival House! We’re reviewing our first ANIMATED feature, as well as our first DISNEY film, with 1959’s SLEEPING BEAUTY!
Aurora, a beautiful young princess, finds herself cursed by an alluring but evil fairy named Maleficent, who, after being slighted by the girl’s royal parents, hexes Aurora to prick her finger and fall into a deep sleep by her 16th birthday. Looking to offset the curse, three good magical fairies ally with a handsome young princess to break Maleficent’s deadly presence and save Aurora from certain doom.
Making her first appearance as an RRH Special Guest Lecturer is Addyson Young, Programing Specialist at Bethlehem, PA’s own ArtsQuest, who provides strong insight into SLEEPING BEAUTY. Both Augusto and host Professor Cesare Augusto delves into SLEEPING BEAUTY’s charming soundtrack, elegantly drawn animation, and of course, the mesmerizingly frightening presence of chief antagonist Maleficent. Is Maleficent the scariest, most terrifying villain in all of Disney animation? Both Addyson and Cesare unanimously agree!
