Sleeping Beauty (1959 Film) TRIVIA

On June 12, 1986, the copyright for the movie was renewed. Sleeping Beauty is referred to as Princess Talia in the original Italian version of this fairy tale. She plays Aurora in the ballet. She goes by the name Briar Rose in the original German. Princess Aurora is shown in the movie under the alias Briar Rose while she is a covert agent, combining both names. The curse of Maleficent can be fulfilled at any time before dusk on Aurora’s sixteenth birthday. In the well-known Disney/Squaresoft video game Kingdom Hearts, Maleficent appears as a villain in each of the three core games, and Aurora is one of the seven Princesses of Heart. In Kingdom Hearts II, the good fairies show up and dress Sora in new garments. With training films provided by the US Army, a flamethrower was utilized to generate the dragon breath sound effect for the movie’s climax.
