BD Hall of Fame Induction # 4 - Sleeping Beauty

Sleeping Beauty: Growing up with faded, drab, and plain looking VHS copies of Disney animation almost seems like a crime against the children of the first home video generation after seeing this. The vibrancy of this transfer is remarkable, filled with some of the richest color, brightest contrasts, and stunning sharpness you’ll lay your eyes on.

 

It breathes new life into a film 50 years old, treating the animation with respect and care. It is not a stretch to state this is like experiencing Sleeping Beauty for the first time, because it is. Disney also took the time to rework the audio, and despite some rough dialogue, this DTS-HD 7.1 mix envelopes the viewer with rich music that sounds as if it were recorded yesterday.

 

Disney also wants to further show off their technical prowess with a somewhat pointless but extravagant showcase called Dragon Encounter. Here the viewer is placed within a dungeon as the dragon slithers around the soundscape, belching fire and generally grumbling. It is an extra purely created to show off the technical aspects, but one you can always go back to.
