Mel O Toons: Sleeping Beauty

The classic tale of Sleeping Beauty. An interesting rendition closer to the original than the Disney Classic. Eight fairies visit her at her birth and cast enchantments on her. The eighth was not invited, and ends up cursing her...

Nostalgia explosion!!! Omg I remember these being so dark on VHS I couldn’t tell what was going on, before I knew about tracking the tv 😂💀 I can actually see the shapes and what they’re supposed to be, they’re so simple and stylized lol

[@user-wi6sh6vh8u]

Would you like to see it on a theatre screen, as it was intended as a short subject animated motion picture, with the 60TH Anniversary theatrical re-release of “DOCTOR ZHIVAGO”?

[@ThatBoyShads]

Ah yes, I vividly remember Sleeping Beauty being my favourite fairy tale as a kid and it still is to this day!

[@chervalroyster]

The music and the narrator used to scare me as a child but I still watched this over and over again. I love it!

[@georgesamy882]

yessssssssssssss, thank you. me tooooo

[@sarahn.2296]

100% yes! Especially this episode! I've been searching a long time to find it. All these Mel-O-Toons gave me the creeps as a kid. I think it's the artwork, too.

[@giovannigonzales5152]

Cherval Royster I understand you, 'Cuz I also got so creeped out of these annoying Mel-O-Toons as a kid. And I hate Mel O Toons so much, Only I love Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies from WB, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Pluto shorts Along with Silly Symphony from Disney, Tom & Jerry, Droopy and Tex Avery shorts, Pink Panther, Along with Happy Harmonies from MGM, Woody Woodpecker, Chilly Willy & Andy Panda shorts, Along with Swing Symphony/Cartune Classics from Walter Lantz/Universal, Popeye the Sailor Man, Casper the Friendly Ghost, Betty Boop shorts, Along with Color Classics/Noveltoon/Screen Songs from Paramount, TerryToons from 20th Century Fox, And Hanna-Berbera cartoons much better than these awful so called crappy cartoons.

Originally it was made as a short subject animated motion picture for theatre screens.

[@lorettamaillie1155]

Thank you I love sleeping beauty!

[@user-wi6sh6vh8u]

Back on the theatre screens again before a showing for the 60TH Anniversary re-release of “DOCTOR ZHIVAGO”.

[@megbro9762]

Thank you for uploading this! I still have the VHS but I’m glad it’s digitally preserved here :)

[@user-wi6sh6vh8u]

And all the more reason to get it released again on theatre screens instead of the advertisements of local businesses.

[@yippedoodah]

She looks exactly like their rendition of Snow White lol

[@user-wi6sh6vh8u]

But in Disney’s adaptation of ‘Snow White’ her coiffure is a chinlength bob.

[@yippedoodah]

No, I meant Mel-O-Toon's adaption of Snow White is very close to this design for the Princess

[@user-wi6sh6vh8u]

Clearly you noticed an error in animation no doubt. However, just the same, the Disney adaptations of both are far superior to these theatrical animated short subject pictures.

[@user-wi6sh6vh8u]

1960 theatrical short subject animated motion picture.

[@johntate7765]

there are so many black trees in the way. how will we get to the castle to save the princess?

[@user-wi6sh6vh8u]

Interesting question.

[@johntate7765]

there are so many black trees in the way. how will we get to the castle to save the queen bee?

[@user-wi6sh6vh8u]

Good grief.

"The castle was alive again!" Then Sleeping Beauty screamed aloud at the strange man that had just touched her royal person and all the nearby guards came flooding into the room. They apprehended the prince who claimed that all of them were asleep and that he had merely broken the spell. They did not believe him (as they had destroyed all the Spinning Wheels in the castle and there was nothing else in the room) and threw him into the dungeon for breaking into the castle and attempting to harm the beloved princess. Then the Prince's father declared war on Sleeping Beauty's country for imprisoning his son and demanded his return with an army right outside the castle walls. Due to all the food in the castle having spoiled and no crops were replanted, the entire castle died of starvation when the opposing army laid siege and the Prince's father would not believe that the country was under some enchanted, this was the 14th century after all. Moral of the story: Let sleeping Princesses lie and just loot the castle.

[@user-wi6sh6vh8u]

Actually, in such an event, time stands still.

[@vivir339]

How old is this cartoon?

[@sanichuuu]

Vivir the shorts originated in the 1960's

[@user-wi6sh6vh8u]

Theatrical short subject animated motion picture for theatre screens.

[@user-wi6sh6vh8u]

And they were all made for theatrical showings.

[@lorettamaillie1155]

[@user-wi6sh6vh8u]

[@lorettamaillie1155]

Thank you I love sleeping beauty!

[@user-wi6sh6vh8u]

Don’t forget about the Disney adaptation from the year before this theatrical short subject animated motion picture.

[@user-wi6sh6vh8u]
