“Awaken to a World of Wonders!”

Princess Aurora is cursed at birth by the evil fairy Maleficent (Eleanor Audley) to prick her finger on a spinning wheel's spindle and die on her sixteenth birthday. Three good fairies soften the curse: Aurora will fall into deep sleep instead, awakened only by true love's kiss. On her sixteenth birthday the spell takes hold, and in the dark castle Aurora's finger finds the spindle, her body going still as a figure carved from stone.
