I've been disappointed that Sleeping Beauty has been disparaged as being boring and without 'agency'. She is too feminine for feminists. But she embodies human virtues that are lacking now - patience, modesty and obedience which are feminine virtues that are basic human virtues. The beautiful voice of Mary Costa is perfect for this young girl's blossoming and Aurora is the only princess I know of who experiences heartbreak, which leads to her being suseptible to Maleficent's influence. I know this isn't a girl boss storyline but it's a real human situation. We all have times (male অথবা female) when we need to be rescued from evil influences. We are submerged and surrounded দ্বারা them. Sleeping Beauty is a story for our times. We all need rescuing right now. There are no heroes. God help us. And thank আপনি Uncle Walt for the gift of Sleeping Beauty!
