(Movie Review--Thoughts After Re-watching)
This is a re-watch. I'd seen this movie numerous times before in childhood.
This is my first time reviewing this movie on this blog, so according to my new rules, I'm doing this as a video only review.

Update: Whisky Prajer's thoughts HERE. In the comments, Whisky and I discuss this movie's legacy in relation to animation styles and Disney climaxes.
In Steinbach, Manitoba around 1970 was a black fibreglass float of Monstro the Whale. I remember clmbing into Monstro's mouth, sitting in a wooden chair and watching film clips of the Good Prince slashing giant black thorns with his sword (talk about mixed messages!). The Walt Disney version of Sleeping Beauty became the only version of Sleeping Beauty, after that.
