00:00Why was I not invited to the christening of the princess beauty?
00:07A curse!
00:08Ah, that's it!
00:09A curse!
00:10Ah, now!
00:11Needles and pins, needles and pins, this is where the curse begins.
00:17Needles and pins, and needles and pins, just wait until the beauty spins.
00:24Needles and pins, oh me, oh my, she'll prick her finger, and beauty will die.
00:29Reichen Bass presents Festival of Family Classics.
00:59All of the tales that you know so well, features and fables will story tell.
01:06Each classic creation, in new animation, today's presentation will be...
01:16Charles Perrault's pleasant fairy tale about love and enchantment, sleeping beauty.
01:23So bring on the whole family!
01:38Hear ye! Hear ye! Hear ye!
01:42Can't stand those infernal bells, clang, clang, clang.
01:48For a harpsichord, myself.
01:51A royal birth! A royal birth!
01:55The princess beauty has been born to King Horace and Queen Hortense!
02:02Oh, Queen Hortense, I'm so happy for you!
02:16Countess Two-Six, this is lovely. Did you make it yourself?
02:20Yes, Your Highness. With my spinning wheel and spindle, I spun the thread.
02:25How sweet and thoughtful.
02:27Congratulations, Your Highnesses. I have brought a little something for Princess Beauty.
02:33Of course, King Horace, she'll have to be a little bit older to enjoy it.
02:37A chess set? A chess set?
02:41Remember, my dear, it's not the gift, but the thought behind it that counts.
02:46And besides, you know how you sneeze when you get upset.
02:52Yes!
03:07How do you expect an infant to play chess? Two-Six, all you ever think about is chess!
03:17Not again, my dear. This is supposed to be a happy occasion.
03:22Lovely gift, really. Chess is a lovely gift. Beauty will love it, I'm sure. In 20 years or so.
03:30Now that, by George, is what I call an entrance.
03:43Why was I not invited to the christening of the Princess Beauty?
03:48I get so upset, don't you know?
03:51You invited my sweet Sister Celia to be the fairy godmother.
03:55You didn't even ask me to the festivities.
03:58When I'm perturbed, I get vexed. When I get vexed, I get furious!
04:04Oh, and when I get furious, I do such nasty things, don't you know?
04:08Ah, ah, ah, curse! Ah, that's it! A curse!
04:13Ah, now, needles and pins, needles and pins, this is where the curse begins.
04:20Needles and pins and needles and pins, just wait until the beauty spins.
04:26Needles and pins, oh me, oh my, she'll prick her finger and beauty will die.
04:32Ah! Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
04:34But before beauty is 20, on this you may rely.
04:38She'll prick her finger on the spindle and the fair beauty will die.
04:45Ah! Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
04:47Oh, I just hate myself when I get so nasty, don't you know?
05:01My wicked sister Glenda is most unforgiving.
05:06My sister is very jealous.
05:09Because of her wickedness, she has never been chosen to be a fairy godmother.
05:13But surely you can remove the curse.
05:17No, my dear, I fear I cannot.
05:20However, I can soften it a little.
05:23Needles and pins, but safely keep.
05:27You shall not die, but only sleep.
05:30And there remain in slumber's bliss until awakened by love's first kiss.
05:38A suggestion.
05:40No, not a suggestion.
05:41A pronouncement.
05:43No, no, not a pronouncement.
05:45A proclamation.
05:47Yes, a royal proclamation.
05:54Henceforth, let it be heard throughout the kingdom.
05:57All spinning wheels, spindles, needles and pins are to be destroyed.
06:02No sewing implements of any kind will be permitted in this kingdom.
06:08A wise proclamation, my king, and perhaps it will help.
06:16But we cannot be sure.
06:18If beauty sleeps, the entire kingdom will sleep as well, so that when she wakes, all will be as it was.
06:25If she sleeps, how long might it be?
06:28Perhaps one hundred years.
06:30No longer.
06:33Hear ye!
06:35Hear ye!
06:37Hear ye!
06:39Nothing ever happens during the day.
06:41Everything has to happen at night.
06:43What I wouldn't give for a nice long nap.
06:46A royal proclamation.
06:50All sewing implements are to be brought to the palace for burning at once.
06:58This is most disloyal, my dear.
07:23But that spinning wheel has been in my family for years.
07:28I know, my dear, but what if beauty will...
07:31No one ever comes up into the attic tower.
07:34But supposing...
07:35It's only till her twentieth birthday.
07:38When beauty passes twenty, the curse will be gone, and I will still have my precious spindle.
07:46Very well, my dear.
07:53She'll prick her finger on the spindle, and the fair beauty will die.
08:00Ah!
08:01Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
08:07Hear ye!
08:09Hear ye!
08:11Hear ye!
08:13Just can't stand those infernal bells.
08:16The princess beauty, about to celebrate her twentieth birthday.
08:21Great royal joy!
08:28Count to six.
08:29No one in the entire kingdom takes longer than you to make a chess move.
08:35Beauty doesn't complain when we play chess.
08:38Just think.
08:40Tomorrow she'll be twenty.
08:42I've even stopped worrying about the wicked fairy's curse.
08:46Every spinning wheel and spindle in the kingdom was destroyed,
08:49and there is really nothing to fear.
08:52Ah, yes.
08:53Yes, yes, yes, yes, that's true.
08:55Yes, yes, yes, of course, of course.
08:58Why so flustered, Two-Six?
09:00Tomorrow the curse will be over.
09:02It's tomorrow.
09:04jis, sir.
09:05All right.
09:06Bye, bye.
09:06S刁, bye.
09:10Bye, bye!
09:12Bye, bye.
09:17Bye, bye, bye.
09:18BANABY!
09:19Bye, bye.
09:20BANABY!
09:21You clumsy oaf, you...
09:21BANABY!
09:22BANABY!
09:23BANABY!
09:23BANABY!
09:24BANABY!
09:24BANABY!
09:24You clumsy oaf!
09:25Barnaby, you clumsy oaf, you...
09:30Oh, Mother, I love the springtime.
09:43The flowers and birds are so beautiful.
09:45They look even more beautiful in your presence, my dear.
09:49And what is my sweet princess beauty thinking about today?
09:54I was thinking that tomorrow I'll be 20 years old.
09:59All those hectic preparations for the birthday ball, I wish it were my wedding ball.
10:05There have been many handsome princes who have come seeking your hand.
10:09But not my prince, Mother.
10:11Your prince? Who is your prince?
10:14Oh, I'll know him when I see him.
10:16I keep looking out over the rolling hills, hoping to see him come riding over on his stallion.
10:22He will ride right up to me.
10:24He will look at me.
10:27Our eyes will meet.
10:30It'll be love at first sight.
10:32He will sweep me up into his arms and we will ride off together and live happily ever after.
10:37Oh, my sweet beauty.
10:39You're an incurable romantic, I fear.
10:43You've read too many storybooks.
10:45But I do love to read those wonderful old stories.
10:49Oh, I know, my dear.
10:51People in the kingdom refer to you as reading beauty, for you're always doing so.
10:56I'm afraid that I will have to lose my reputation.
11:00I must have read every book in the palace.
11:02How can I read if there is nothing left to read?
11:05There are lots of other books in the attic tower.
11:08The attic tower?
11:09There are many wonderful treasures in the attic tower.
11:13Besides books, you will find old pictures, precious heirlooms.
11:18You know, Mother, I've never been in the attic tower.
11:21How exciting!
11:22Well then, my dear, here is the key.
11:26Go and enjoy yourself.
11:28Oh, I will.
11:29Why, this is almost like a birthday present.
11:31Why, what is this?
11:50I've never seen anything like this before.
11:56Oh, the wheel is turning.
11:59What was that?
12:04Just my imagination, I guess.
12:07This place is kind of eerie.
12:11Oh!
12:13Oh, how clumsy of me!
12:16I feel strange.
12:19Suddenly, very sleepy.
12:24All that hideous laugh again.
12:26Needles and pins, needles and pins, this is where the curse begins.
12:40Needles and pins, needles and pins, just wait until the beauty spins.
12:44Needles and pins, oh me, oh my.
12:47She'll prick her finger and beauty will die.
12:51Ha ha ha ha ha!
12:53Ha ha ha ha!
12:53Before beauty is twenty, on this you may rely.
12:58She'll prick her finger on the spindle, and fair beauty will die.
13:04Ha ha ha ha ha!
13:06Needles and pins, but safely keep.
13:10You shall not die, but only sleep.
13:13And there remain in slumber's bliss until awakened by love's first kiss.
13:20love's first kiss love's first kiss Celia you are a romantic fool perhaps I am Glenda but you see
13:28she only sleeps yes but with my magic I will cover this kingdom with vines no one will ever get
