Storyline

An elf gives a queen a magic spell for the baby she always wanted. But an evil curse is placed over her daughter, Rosebud, which results in the king demanding that all the spindles in the kingdom be destroyed. As Rosebud grows into a naive yet pretty young woman, she wonders why no one in the kingdom ever has new cloth. She convinces her parents to go on a journey to a neighboring kingdom, not knowing what awaits her as soon as the king and queen are gone.

Trivia

To save money, the Cannon Movie Tales were shot two or three at-a-time. "Sleeping Beauty" was shot simultaneously with Hansel and Gretel. This wasn't the best of situations in that often the two crews would be competing for limited equipment, costumes, and sets.

Goofs

User Reviews

A little slow in the beginning,but redifines itself in the next 2 acts.

Really good.The opening 10 min are wonderful,but drags untill Fairy Red shows up and then it is pure fun.Kids will love it.I saw it on the Disney Channel in 95 or whenever it was last shown(It was a long time ago).The film has great songs and costumes my fav is either"Dare Me","Our clothes are worn and tattered",or"How Good It Is".Buy it now.You won't be dissapointed.
