00:37Sleeping Beauty was written over 200 years ago by a Frenchman, Charles Perrault.
00:42This enduring story features a girl, a vengeful witch, a curse, and a spinning wheel.
00:49In this program, we also learn what happens after the prince and Sleeping Beauty are married
00:54and how the witch keeps trying to prevent them from living happily ever after.
01:06The king and queen had a baby girl, and today was her christening.
01:11The king and queen invited guests of honor, the seven good fairies who lived in their kingdom.
01:17Each of the fairies gave the child a gift that would make her a most wonderful princess when she grew
01:22up.
01:23Then, just as the queen of the fairies was about to present her gift,
01:31Why was I not invited?
01:34We did not want you here. You are an evil fairy.
01:38I order you to leave.
01:42But I have a gift for your daughter.
01:45We do not want your gift.
01:47So, you'll have it anyway.
01:51Upon your daughter, I cast a curse.
01:54One day, no matter how much you try to protect her,
02:01your daughter will prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel,
02:07and then she will die!
02:19The evil one's magic is strong,
02:23but I have not yet given my gift to the child,
02:26and my powers are strong enough to change her curse.
02:31She shall not die.
02:34Instead, she shall only fall asleep,
02:37and all in this castle shall sleep with her,
02:41undisturbed for a hundred years.
02:44Then, a young prince with true love in his heart
02:48shall awaken her with a kiss.
02:52Oh, that's the best I could do.
02:55The festival has ended.
02:57Captain, assemble one hundred soldiers.
02:59The king ordered his soldiers
03:01to burn every spinning wheel in the kingdom.
03:04For sixteen years,
03:06no one in the kingdom saw any spinning wheels.
03:09During these years,
03:10a little princess had grown.
03:12She had all the delicate graces
03:14that the fairies had granted.
03:16Hurry, we'll see from the top of the tower.
03:23Hey, wait for me.
03:27Huh?
03:30No matter how much you love her,
03:33no matter how much you try to protect her,
03:36your daughter will prick her finger
03:38on the spindle of a spinning wheel,
03:41and then she will die.
03:45She shall not die.
03:47Instead, she shall only fall asleep,
03:50and all in this castle shall sleep with her,
03:55undisturbed for a hundred years.
03:57Then, a young prince with true love in his heart
04:02shall awaken her with a kiss.
04:06Now, son, I can't allow you to go exploring
04:09every mysterious patch of woods we pass.
04:11It could be dangerous.
04:13You go ahead, mother.
04:15I'll catch up to you before nightfall.
04:17Footman, tell the prince
04:18what you told me earlier today.
04:20Yes, your highness.
04:22They say there's an enchantment on these woods, sire.
04:25It's a place of demons and ogres.
04:27See?
04:29Oh, you don't believe those old fairy tales, do you?
04:33Besides, I have my trusty sword for protection.
04:36I'll bring you back an ogre's head, mother.
04:40Oh, that son of mine.
04:42Oh!
04:43In the woods,
04:45the prince found a high wall of thorn bushes.
04:48As he approached,
04:49they magically parted,
04:51revealing the path to a castle beyond.
04:56Inside the castle,
04:57he found hundreds of people lying about.
05:00They were not dead.
05:03They were all asleep.
05:05And in a tower,
05:07he found the sleeping princess.
05:10She was so beautiful.
05:13His heart was filled with love for her.
05:23He gently kissed her on the cheek.
05:33Oh, my.
05:34The evil fairy's curse was broken.
05:38The prince and the princess were soon married.
05:42And they went off to live in the kingdom of the prince.
05:45Most people think that they lived there happily ever after,
05:49but that isn't quite true.
05:51There's more to the story.
05:53The prince's father died,
05:55making him king.
05:56And the sleeping beauty became his queen.
05:59They had two children,
06:01named Dawn and Day.
06:03There was trouble at the border of the kingdom,
06:05and the young king had to leave with the soldiers.
06:08That very same day,
06:10trouble of a different kind
06:12entered through an unguarded castle window.
06:15It was the evil fairy.
06:17She had changed in the 125 years that had passed
06:21just since she cast the spell on Sleeping Beauty.
06:23She had become an ugly ogre.
06:26And now,
06:27she planned to have revenge on Sleeping Beauty
06:30and her entire family.
06:32Her first victim
06:33was the young king's mother.
06:36With a few drops of magic potion,
06:38she turned the woman into
06:40a little bugaboo.
06:44You wait right here, my pet,
06:46and soon you will have Sleeping Beauty
06:49and her children
06:50to keep you company.
06:53Then,
06:54using her evil magic,
06:55she disguised herself
06:57as the king's mother
06:59and set out for her next victims.
07:02Stuart!
07:04Yes, your highness?
07:06Sprinkle a few drops of this magic potion
07:09on Sleeping Beauty's two children.
07:11Then,
07:11bring them to me.
07:13Your highness,
07:14you don't seem quite yourself.
07:17Do it quickly.
07:18That's an order.
07:20Oh,
07:21oh,
07:22oh,
07:23magic potion.
07:26I don't like this.
07:28Oh,
07:29oh,
07:30oh,
07:31oh,
07:32nice kitty.
07:33Nice kitty.
07:35Yikes!
07:37Oh,
07:38oh,
07:38what have I done?
07:42Oh,
07:42oh,
07:43back already?
07:44That was fast.
07:46Oh,
07:47your highness,
07:48look.
07:49Oh,
07:50splendid.
07:50I see you brought me
07:51Sleeping Beauty's children.
07:53Bring them here.
07:54Oh,
07:55but,
07:55but,
07:56oh,
07:57what nice little children.
08:00Now,
08:02go sprinkle some potion
08:03on Sleeping Beauty herself.
08:06Oh,
08:06oh,
08:07oh,
08:07oh,
08:07oh.
08:07The steward went to Sleeping Beauty
08:09and told her what he was being ordered to do
08:12and showed her how the magic potion worked.
08:16They devised a plan to fool the king's mother.
08:20Sleeping Beauty and her children would hide in the dungeon
08:22and the steward would present the king's mother with the new bugaboo, hoping that she would think it was Sleeping
08:30Beauty.
08:31Be brave,
08:32be brave,
08:32steward.
08:33She won't know.
08:35Yes,
08:36I shall,
08:37my queen.
08:39My husband the king is on his way back home.
08:42He should arrive within the next few days.
08:45We'll let him deal with his mother's treachery.
08:49The plan would have worked except that the very next morning the evil fairy went to the dungeon to catch
08:56some mice for breakfast.
08:57Come along now.
08:59Back into our secret room.
09:01Huh?
09:01So?
09:03Oh,
09:03my.
09:05Oh.
09:06Oh.
09:07Oh.
09:08Away with you.
09:09You are a wicked woman.
09:11I'll not have you near me or my children.
09:14I'm more wicked than you think.
09:17This time you won't.
09:18Escape me.
09:28Sire, you can see the spires of your castle just over the hill.
09:32Ah, almost home.
09:34That would be good to see Beauty and the children again.
09:37And I'll wager that my mother has them all planning some big surprise for me.
09:43A pot.
09:45A pot.
09:46I'll grow a fresh batch of bugaboo potion in a big pot.
09:52That one will be perfect.
09:59The king is on his way.
10:02The king.
10:03The king.
10:04I must get the king.
10:07Now a proper potion needs the proper ingredients.
10:11Evil scorpions.
10:14And worms from the dark.
10:17Serpent's heads.
10:19And dragon's teeth.
10:21Blimey bugs.
10:22and things that creep.
10:29Sire!
10:33Sire!
10:35Sire, you must save the queen!
10:38What?
10:40And now for you, Sleeping Beauty.
10:44Step into the pot.
10:50Beauty, stop!
10:54No!
10:56Back, you monster!
10:58Back!
11:01Huh?
11:13Yay!
11:17Ah!
11:24Hold!
11:27My word!
11:30With the end of the evil fairy, the power of her magic was undone.
11:35And everything returned to normal.
11:41Beauty, my darling.
11:44And finally, the Sleeping Beauty and her true love really did live happily ever after.
11:53.
12:20Who she is?
12:23It was more than a day...
12:23How many people do not live happily ever after.
