Disney come up trumps again, doing what they do best. The fairy tale story adapts beautifully, with some great scenes and excellent (Oscar winning) music. The story is basically monster captures girl, girl falls in love with monster, who turns out to be prince charming. Recommended for all ages!

SLEEPING BEAUTY (1959)
CertificationU Our Rating
Adaptation of the fairy tale of the same name. Princess Aurora is cursed by the evil witch Maleficent, who declares that before Aurora reaches her 16th birthday she will die by a poisoned spinning-wheel. To try to prevent this, the king places her into hiding, in the care of three goodnatured not too bright fairies, but this is a curse that only a prince can break. Adaptation of the fairy tale of the same name. The last film which Walt personally supervised, not one of the best, but not that bad

THE LITTLE MERMAID (DISNEY) (1990)
CertificationU Our Rating
Disney's superb cartoon version of Hans Christian Andersen's famous tale of a beautiful mermaid, who longs to become human after falling in love with a prince whom she saves from drowning. Great animation, especially the underwater scenes, some fun singalong songs, at long last Disney began to recognize the importance of pop in children's movies. All in all a lot better than some of Disney's immediately preceding kids' films.
