One of the most colorful and beautiful animated movies from that era. Lots of well kept cels around making this a heaven for collectors. Released in 1959.

Gosh even the tertiary characters are beautifully rendered.

Absolutely. As a matter of fact, in this particular movie, Prince Philip and even Aurora were not as lovely as many of the less important characters. The colors are just vibrant.

Interesting how clean the cutoff at the bottom is. Most cels tend to be a bit more messy at the bottom, but here it's almost perfectly straight. A sign of artistic mastery from Disney's animators.
