Sorry about that. Intro Credit lettering/art There is a storybook opening, but no Once Upon a Time in a book. However, there was Once in the title song, “Once Upon a Dream”. In the opening narration, it mentioned, “Their (The King and Queen) wish was granted,” and Aurora was born. Vibrant colors Awesome 3D look to the crowd, changing the timing of each level of horses, people etc to make it look natural (That people and animals traveled at different speeds). A number of great flydowns with the multiplane camera. Awesome dreamy sequences when the good fairies gave their gifts of beauty and song. Fantasia-esque (1940). Maleficent – Evil Fairy. The Queen is afraid of Maleficent, “You’re not offended?” The scepter click on the floor was weird sounding. Meriwether – A Ray of Hope. Changing death to sleep, until true love’s kiss will break the curse. The animation is a work of art. Spinning Wheel fire. Reflections in the castle. “Our magic doesn’t work that way” Even walls have ears. Like mirrors in OUAT. Turn the princess into a flower (Shadowing of Beauty and the Beast), but Maleficent will send frost. Flora’s new plan will not include magic. Adam and Eddie get the idea from this? Maleficent’s Forbidden Mountains – similar name to Tolkien’s Mount Doom. Maleficent’s goofy troops. Maleficent told her Raven to search for a maiden with lips Red as the Rose. Another tie back to Snow White? Another princess that cleans, and a shot through the window. ———————————- Don’t forget to Tweet while you listen ———————————- If you can, please Donate to help us pay for our hosting expenses.
