The first "princess" classic I've seen. Definitely has the classic drama of some evil witch or person (female, really?) who tries to ruin the classic story. Almost does so, then someone, typically insignificant people, come over and save the day, and then the princess is happy.
This is just that case. Someone who is a princess and someone who is a prince. They both were planned on getting married, one gets a curse. Then they hide. The evil person does what they can to stop them from succeeding. Then something good happens. That's the story of sleeping beauty.
I rate this a 7/10 only for a few reasons. First, the story confused me a bit, I never did understand what she was cursed with, why the witch was evil at all, etc. Second, I thought it was rather interesting how the fairies said that the prince cannot be helped by magic, yet that's the thing they did to help the prince. I thought it was intentional, and the fairies would learn not to break their promises, but I guess it didn't get noticed.
Anyhow, it's rated 7/10, but it is STILL a good classic. :)
