Been a while since I brushed this one off. The clean up on the bluray is really great. I was never much into this one. The film is pretty much about the 3 fairy godmothers. The prince is a bit of a dope that they have to help. There is a random song between the two kings right in the middle of the film. The villian doesn't do much except start the curse and turn into a dragon at the end. And all the music is just adding lyrics to Tchaikovsky's ballet, which seems like a cheap work around.

The Fairys get some great character animation. And I love the 14th century stylings of the background paintings, with square edges and flat perspectives. Also I love that they were bold enough to try out the cinemascope ratio. It looks great.

Anyway nice to give it another look.
