- Still thinking about the drunk bard. Best character hands down.
ALSO this was the first time I used my camera, so the focus is really not good.
Sorry about that! Hopefully I'll learn how to use it properly as I do more of these.

“It looks horrible” “That’s because it’s on you, dear” DAMN 😳
Roast!😂
The thing with perspective not being right in this movie's backgrounds, that's on purpose.
The inspiration lies in those medieval tapestries, where everything is woven beneath eachother. I think it's Byzantin, if that's the english word for it?
Sleeping Beauty's castle is in Disneyland Paris, and the square trees are there too. Most beautifull castle of any park
Yes indeed. What makes it cool is they really were inspired by the tapestries
I was thinking it also resembled Renaissance paintings. Honestly just noticing how much the perspectives and trees resembled the Mona Lisa. I assumed it was on purpose, but so cool re the tapestry inspiration.
I was a fine arts major, and my father's a painter. Only a few years ago did he point out to me that the painted backgrounds in Sleeping Beauty were his favorite among the golden age Disney animated movies. It looks incredible in the highest resolution. ( :
Mad respect, I've done background paintings and this will always be my favorite movie and a big part of it, are the backgrounds.
I loved your reaction to this movie :)
And yes, "Aurore" in French means "Dawn" and Aurora is the English variant of aurore in French. Aurore is a French name as well, in fact, that's how she's called in the French version of the movie: princesse Aurore.
The music is accually from the ballet 'Sleeping Beauty'. It is composed by Pjotr Illich Tchaikovsky.
"he is so tall, omg"
me, who has a crush on him since i was 4 because he is pretty, tall, can dance, sing and wanted to marry a peasant: hell yeah he is
this movie is just beautiful. first disney movie i' ever saw when i was 4, and still to this day my favourite of them all. oh, andf malificent is queen of evil forever XD
Sleeping Beauty was my absolute favorite Disney princess growing up and I never really knew why. Now I know it was probably because of how dynamic and sharp the art style was.
Sleeping Beauty was and remains one of my favorite Disney movie soundtracks growing up. Tchaikovsky's music is just so magical ...
The art style for this movie always reminded me of stained glass, all the sharp angles.
Evyine Earle was the overall artist influence for SLEEPING BEAUTY (which was more akin to crafting the European Tapestry look) and every artist had to undergo a ton of tutorials on how to emulate Earle's style. Only three times did Disney really use one artist's perspective for a film's overall look: the first was Tyrus Wong who influenced the look of BAMBI, Mary Blair's work was the influence for both CINDERELLA and ALICE IN WONDERLAND and Earle for SLEEPING BEAUTY. This was also the last Disney film to use the classical "storybook look", as their next film, 101 DALAMATIANS, was more influenced by "modern art" (which Disney ultimately wasn't a fan of).
And I agree with you so much. Aurora is gorgeous 💓 One of the most beautiful disney characters
The music used (but not the words) was written by Tchiakovsky
Rescuers Down Under is an underrated classic. It marks the first fully digital film by Disney and what would eventually become Pixar, and the backgrounds are absolutely incredible and revolutionary, as they are the first fully rendered CG backgrounds used in an animated feature.
I have so much to say about this film. I love it so much.
When it comes to animation and visuals alone, this is my favorite animated film.
Eyvind Earle is my favorite painter. I just started his book "Horizon Bound by a Bicycle."
In 2016, I met Floyd Norman (who helped animated Philip, Samson, and The Fairies). He was one of the first African American animators at Disney. H e signed my Sleeping Beauty movie poster.
14:11. The dress color fight scenes were based on actual arguments that the artists had.
19:51. Originally, Marc Davis wanted Maleficent's colors to be black/red with yellow flames. But Eyvind Earle thought that black/purple/red with green/yellow flames would bee more interesting and different.
20:49. The cloud ending is based on deleted concepts from Snow White and Cinderella. Walt Disney always wanted a love song with a fairy tale couple dancing on a cloud and finally got to do it in Sleeping Beauty.
I would personally love to see you watch The Black Cauldron. It's considered to be Disney animation's darkest film, and the art style is very similar. It was incredibly expensive and almost drove the studio into bankruptcy, so the animation and art is incredibly advanced despite that the film was largely unsuccessful due to the darker tone.
The visual model for Aurora was Helene Stanley (who had done the same thing for Cinderella). Her voice was provided by Mary Costa, then at the beginning of a successful operatic career.
Please see CInderella! The art styles is amazing. This movie was based on medieval tapestries. Cinderella was based on Mary Blair's art style.
And Fantasia is ART.
Actually almost all of the 50s Disney animated films use Mary Blair’s artwork.
The behind-the-scenes making of this film, and other Disney animation films, is so eye-opening!
14:20 Yup
And I know when the book was closing it turned to pink (I didn't notice that detail for years), but to me it always ended with her dress being blue and when I finally noticed it turned back to pink as the book cover closed I just figured it meant that they're going to continue arguing about that.
But just for the record, her dress is blue.
Fun fact: A lot of the music was taken from Tchaikovsky’s sleeping beauty ballet and maleficent’s theme is actually taken from a pas de deux scene with two cats
You definitely need to watch Cinderella And Snow white. The art is beautiful in those. Snow white is a watercolored masterpiece
oh please watch 1950 Cinderella the lady that voices Maleficent also voices the Step-Mother
Yes but I love her more in this movie. Maleficent will always be a great Antagonist.
I really enjoyed this! Sleeping Beauty is one of the few movies I Immediately rewatched purely for the art style and beauty of it.
I liked the points you made; there have been a few artists and animators reacting to this kind of thing and I don’t think they explained their perspectives and points as well as you did. They’ll say, “oh that’s hard,” but not why, and that can be frustrating as someone who wants to learn and understand what they’re seeing. But you actually say the WHY in addition to the what. Sometimes we don’t even get a what from other reviewers! Kudos!
Fantasia was released in 1940, almost 20 years before this movie. I know my Golden Era (Snow White - Bambi) and Silver Era (Cinderella - Jungle Book) dates. I'm more fuzzy on the Package Era (Saludos Amigos - Ichabod and Mr Toad) and Bronze Era (Aristocats - Oliver and Company), but I know pretty much all the other movies released in the twentieth century.
FANTASIA. If you want to see great animated art: Fan-FREAKING-tasia.
DO. IT!!
As an illustration major, one major selling point would be the diverse number of styles in that movie.
I love this movie so much much! Beautiful masterpiece
The design concept was to emulate a stain glass window
5:48 omg im procrastinating on a job because ive been stressing about the perspective lol. Thank you! Great advice- even us pro's are wracke with doubt. Love Mary Blairs unique illustration style that is so present in every cell of this movie
Thank you for this channel!!
I’m keen for seeing someone as passionate as I am check out these films! Have a sub!
Actually the I know you song is based on the music from the Sleeping Beauty Ballet. They took the music and put some words to some of it
The scream that Malificent makes when Philip hits her with the sword, it's the same scream as The Wicked Queen/Witch from Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs when she falls to her death. It was also used in the Donald Duck cartoon Trick or Treat as Witch Hazel's scream when she gets scared by Huey, Dewy and Louie's Jack-o-lantern before she sees them.
Disney wanted the look of medieval tapestries
You should watch "The Secret of Kells." It's the most beautiful movie I've ever seen in terms of art styles. The majority of the movie is in illuminated manuscript style, but there are a few scenes that use very different styles and it all works together so well! A perfect 10/10 from me!
The entire trilogy by that company is amazing in terms of artwork("Secret of Kells", "Song of the Sea"and "Wolfwalkers".)
Just watched your Bambi video and went straight to this one, another one of my classic Disney favorites, thank you so much for this commentary! You said things about it not even I noticed and I've watched this movie so many times
A big thing about the animation in Sleeping Beauty was that it was so expensive to put in the detail that they did that it almost bankrupted the company. It's why films that came out after this (like 101 Dalmatians, Sword in the Stone, Jungle Book, Robin Hood, AristoCats, and so on) would have simpler designs in the art and animation.
Philip caught Aurora dancing around with his clothes, which were just stolen from him. For all he knows, she was directly involved in the theft and pulling a prank on him. I can understand why he would want to do some playful payback by swapping places with her dance partner (who is *still* wearing the stolen clothes). He meant no harm by it, and he's clearly not a bad person.
Here's a fun take on "Once Upon A Dream" and the Aurora/Philip relationship:
Aurora says that she has see and spent time with her dream prince "so many times." When she and Philip cross paths in the forest, the latter tells the former that they have met before; they've met "once upon a dream." One could argue that he was just going along with Aurora's game, but if that's the case, why did he repeat the phrase in front of King Hubert? Why would he tell his father that he met his true love "once upon a dream" when Hubert wasn't there and wouldn't know what Philip is talking about?
SLEEPING BEAUTY takes place in a magical world where fairies and curses exist. I don't think interacting with people via dreams is outside the realm of possibility. What if Aurora and Philip *have* meet each other through their dreams long before Aurora's sixteenth birthday? That would explain why they warmed up to each other so quickly.
Arorua is following the orb cause the music is hynotisingher along with the orb of light
I love watching your reactions to the older animated movies, anything disney and loved that you watched fantasia :) It is pretty awesome watching your reaction as an art student because I love hearing your thoughts and perspectives on the artwork in the movies, it is a major reason why I just love love older animated movies. If you read this, would you please please pretty please react to the movie "The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad" ??? It is on disney plus, It is basically the famous "Sleepy Hollow" Legend, and it truly is the only story of Sleepy Hollow that I love so much. The movie is actually a two part skit movie, one with a toad story and one with the ichabod crane sleepy hollow story. The toad story is really not that great and if you skip to "35:43" thats when the sleepy hollow story starts and its only about half an hour. I would truly love to see a reaction to this please :( I want to hear your artistic thoughts on it, and I really hope that one day maybe when you are bored or want to see a rendition of sleepy hollow, please give this a chance. Love to see the reaction!
All the soundtrack comes straigh from the Tchaikovsky Ballet with the same name. The most beautiful Disney Princess movie ever!
Interesting that besides the name of the movie, the Sleeping Beauty herself only appears for 18 minutes in the entire picture.
The song you did recognize is from the Tchaicovsky ballet "The Sleeping Beauty", that was used in this movie
Love your added perspective to this movie! I’ve seen it so many times, but you pointed out stuff I had never noticed before
Maleficent: "I hope my invitation got lost in the mail, because if it didn't, well, we're going to have problems."
Actually the title music and some other pieces are by Tchaikovsky (namely from his ballet "Sleeping Beauty") and were just adapted for the movie.
Recommendations for animated movies:
-Cartoon Saloon movies such as The Secret of Kells, unique and beautiful animation
-Loving Vincent, a movie animated with oil paints
-The Painting/Le Tableau, a postmodern movie about art
-Long Way North, just a fun adventure with a very unique animation style
I loved A Long Way North.
@@savannahlevy97 dude omg I never find anyone else who's seen it and it's amazing
@@annelooney1090 I actually did see it, it was great.
Thanks so much! I like It the músic all over móvies Disney móvies!
Super magical! Amazing
I think this was the first Disney movie that used a curse word
When I was young I really wanted to be a Disney animator. I read several books on Disney animation, watched just about every Disney animation documentary. I've seen every Disney animated film (many in theaters/drive in's). I used to draw, and create (ink and paint)animation cel's and do make background cel's. I did almost exclusively Disney. My favorite animated films by Disney (out of their classic films, those done by Disney's original team, the first generation, if you will) I'd rank by the beauty of the art work in the film. These are the top picks.
1. Sleeping Beauty
2. Fantasia
3. Bambi
4. Snow White
5. Lady and the Tramp
6. Pinocchio
7. Alice in Wonderland
8. Peter Pan
9. Cinderella
10. The Jungle book
You should check out Snow White and Lady and the Tramp. They have some beautiful animation in them as well. And Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan have some great art, Designed by the great art designer Mary Blair.
The thing is I can paint landscapes and backgrounds but I can’t draw em
16:06 Ok... THAT was scary lol
Oh, honey, if you don't know that all Disney movies begin with a song of some kind, then you don't know Disney.
Gift scene at the beggining is so artistic and beautiful . Why you doesnt react to it?
Its so magical and an icon.
The artistic design is one of the many reasons this is one of my top fav Disney films
When malefincent was leading Aurora to her sleep she was in a trance that's was staring at it intently and following it willingly.
The book is real its in the Walt Disney Museum
20:10 Aww. Maleficent DOES have a heart
I love this movie so much. I appreciated this.
Maleficent is crazy powerful and has an amazing fearful stage presence that other villians just don't have. I mean who else can turn into a dragon and not make it look ridiculous?
I don’t know if it’s too early to be making requests but Triplets of Belleville is a French animated movie and there’s so much to talk about for its art… almost no dialogue, I think maybe just one line. It’s great!
Edit: Haha commented this before the video was over… so here’s some more requests for reactions: The Great Mouse Detective (I love the colors of this movie and there’s an awesome clock animated scene/villain metamorphosis) Fantasia (many different animated styles displayed) Dumbo (hella traumatic but some very interesting artistic decisions) and if you can find it, the anime version of Swan Lake (I had in on VHS when I was young, it’s beautiful)
I think this movie takes place in medieval times(i read it takes place in France)
The score is from The Ballet Sleeping Beauty
Did you notice the texture and shading in castles? The indoor backgrounds are as amazing as the outdoor ones.
Kind of surprised the King’s face at 3:17 never became a meme lol
Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty is the music. When I was a child I would play all of the LPs and listen to it for hours. As far as the art work any Disney's were ahead of its time including Mary Poppins. You need to watch the Documentary on Walt Disney and the early studio. Amazing!
So here's some trivia. There was a shortage of the materials to make things like paint more red as this was being developed during wartime. You can tell that sometimes the fairy in red is not always in red because they focused that color on the prince's cape and that the fire was green and yellow because they didn't have enough reds to make all the fire sequences that color.
The very first time I watched this as a kid I was horrified at the moment when those minions were dancing around that fire. I turned to my mom, already crying, and asked her if they were burning the prince so he could never kiss Rose. I have no doubt she was horrified by that question, especially hearing it from a little girl that shouldn’t know about that stuff, but told me to wait a bit and i would get my answer.
Which told me the answer was no, but I was still scared until I saw him alive.
Watching Hunchback of Notredom will do that to ya. That freaked me the heck out and never watched it a second time.
Maleficent and her dragon form are my favorite part of the movie. And she one if my favorite villains. I was excited when they did the live action with angelina jolie.
Famous words. This movie toke 6 years and cost 6 million dollars to make. It is great as art, okay as a movie but overall still a great Disney Classic.
My favorite Disney movie
You recently joined RUclips welcome to RUclips and I love your channel
Nice job watching my favorite Disney movie. Keep up the good work
4:56- the fairies wanted to make Aurora a flower but since maleficent sends a frost- it’ll kill the flower(I.e Aurora) cause most flowers can’t survive in the cold
When Flora and her fairy sisters put the whole Kingdom asleep, she then basically put their magic on par with Malificent's magic this making what the 3 said at the film's begining.
Ooh cool point about the scales. Though the dragon was black, still makes me think of that.
This movie made me want to become an illustrator.
A lot of people hate sleeping beauty but this one is one of closest childhood memories to me from Disney movies along with Mulan and Ariel.
I think even as a kid I loved this movie from the artistic perspective. The music and animation in this one along with Mulan is deffo my favourite. It’s so stunning! I love your concept and how you react to movies through the lens of an illustration (/animation) student!
Also Aurora’s real life model was Audrey Hepburn
Gourgeous princess, Wonderful movie.
13:30 Flora hadn't baked the cake yet.
You should watch Anastasia (1997) it’s such a beautiful animated film
React to Prince of Egypt, very underrated film!
Are you only going to do handrawn animation, or will you do computer animation as well ?
That minstrel is a weak drinker-One sip and he's HAMMERED!
Actually about the frost part, Flora consindered to turn Aurora into a flower in order to protect her from Malificent but Merryweather points out that she would send a winter frost which would have killed flower Aurora cuz you know, freezing temperature kills flowers and such. I thought it was so obvious that you would have caught on that but you were overthinking it.
If you want to see truly brilliant animation that's both
beautiful and downright mind-blowing, I recommend
Satoshi Kon's "Paprika" (2006).
A very good animated film you should see is The triplets Of Bellville
Eyvind Earle was an amazing artist and an interesting person
Fun fact the melody at 16:07 is also the melody for the voice Elsa is following in Frozen 2
2:29 why did Lord Duke say “Their Riyal Highnesses,”? He should have said “His Royal Majesty and His Royal Highness, King Hubert and Prince Phillip!”
Also with regards to the topic of perspective and backgrounds, your professor is absolutely right. A great example of that is Scott Wills. But you probably know who he is already. If you've watched Samurai Jack it's literally littered with backgrounds that are simplified and disregard perspective. All of them done by Scott Wills.
You should react to the movie (The Sword in the Stone)....
6:40 i actually never noticed that thank you
6:55 oh you say that now but funnys come after
Wow. I just clicked on it as it popped up and it's your first video? That never happens.
Could you do a video on The Little Mermaid?
Rescuers
Granted, this is a late response, but if you get the time there is a a clip from the old Disneyland/Wonderful World of Color series called "4 Artist Paint 1 Tree" that shows off the making of these backgrounds and other tips for animation that is worth looking into.
"Is this a musical"
Hun it's Disney.
Flora's a bit of an B to Merryweather
If you like this background art you should check out SAMURAI JACK
Let me suggest an artsy animated movie: "The Point". The animation is weird, and I would love to see what you'll have to say about it
Lion King 1994 please 🙏🙏🙏
Ok.👍🏻
I got laughed at back when I was living in Camden at the library when I was singing and some kids was laughing and mocking me and one person posted the video on Facebook and wrote 15 mean comments instead of nice comments about me and I was embarrassed and upset about it no one likes my talent I like to sing a lot while listening to music and singing along and dancing too any positive advice for me about my situation please I need a new friend someone who’ll accept me for who I am and not judge me just because I’m different from other people please how can I find my happily ever after any advice for me am I considered a princess like princess Aurora my hair is naturally curly
