Detailed explanation-1: -Princess Aurora, also known as Sleeping Beauty or Briar Rose, is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Productions’ 16th animated feature film Sleeping Beauty (1959). Originally voiced by singer Mary Costa, Aurora is the only child of King Stefan and Queen Leah.
Detailed explanation-2: -Briar Rose is a historically sensitive retelling of Sleeping Beauty set amid forests patrolled by the German army during World War II. In the heat of midsummer 1942, deep in a forest in the heart of Poland, Briar Rose arrives at a castle that has fallen into the hands of an evil army.
Detailed explanation-3: -1. The story of Sleeping Beauty was based on the fairy tale “La Belle Au Bois Dormant, ” published in 1697 by Charles Perrault. This tale also served as the inspiration for the Brothers Grimm tale, The Briar Rose, published in 1812.
Detailed explanation-4: -A curse was bestowed upon little Brier-Rose which declared, “In the princess’s fifteenth year, she shall prick her finger with a spindle and fall over dead” (Grimm 1812). This curse represents more than an unfortunate event. It is a metaphor for the doom of her innocence.
