[@danielfreinhofer]

Very funny review! And thanks for the great introduction to the sleeping beauty lore! I think the line from the prince about him and princess Felicity being happy together was a reference to the name Felicity which stems from Latin Felicitas meaning happiness. Regarding the stupid reason the evil fairy was not invited. In an old East German Sleeping Beauty movie they even had a better reason to not invite the evil fairy. The king only had 12 golden plates and 12 sets of golden cuttlery, thus he couldn't invit the thirteenth fairy, because he didn't want to offer her a common plate and cuttlery.

[@phelous]

Yeah, it was definitely referring to her name meaning but it's still a silly assumption that means she'd be happy with him, haha. Sounds like the king should have just used different plates and utensils for everyone then. Silly King.

[@Nionivek]

My favorite version of that scene is where they didn't invite her on purpose (because evil curses tend to always work out), but she ended up having such a great time at the party that she decided not to lay her curse. Much to the parent's dismay.

The one plothole that seems to persist across all versions of the Sleeping Beauty tale seems to be the fact that, despite being told the exact date the curse will take effect, everyone always deals with it by carefully protecting the princess the whole time _leading up_ to the deadline, only for her to somehow end up unattended on the day-of. So what if there was a Sleeping Beauty story where, instead of being cursed at birth, the princess (or whoever) angers the evil fairy herself _as an adult,_ and when the fairy curses her with death, it starts taking effect immediately, causing her to slowly fade away and get weaker over the course of days or weeks, with the fateful day being when it overtakes her completely. In the meantime, her family tries everything they can to cure her, but nothing works. Then the good fairy arrives and says they can help, but the best they can do is soften the enchantment from one of death to 100 years of sleep and yadda yadda the rest goes on as usual.

[@sageserendipity]

Hmmm, good idea. I like where this is going...

[@gracekim1998]

More like the a logical issue

[@evanbarth7173]

I have another idea! What if the reason the “death” curse takes effect from the spinning wheel is because Sleeping Beauty took a page from Arachne’s book and boasted to the evil fairy about how much a better weaver she is than her, and this is what causes her to be cursed? Great, now using both of these ideas, I wanna write my own version of the Sleeping Beauty tale, if you give permission that is.

When it comes to old-school fairytales like these that were written over 200 years ago (when people's sensibilities were WAY different) that practice tends to work more in their favor...but not so much when they do it to more recent stories. Just look at "The Black Cauldron", for example.

[@nozoto]

I gotta say, I'd like to see the concept of a man falling for a sleeping enchantress done right. It's all in the execution. For instance, give the sleeping one the power to intrude in dreams, where the relationship would start by pure coincidence and build up. It's nice and all, but the man resists as he thinks it's all a fantasy of his mind, so one day the enchantress discloses her secret location despite the high risk of being spotted by her evil, possessive captor who is also in love with her. Upon seeing how her body instinctively react at his approach, the chosen one is finally convinced that this love relationship real, so he kneels, grabs her hand and weep for being so lacking in faith. But before he can make any further move to wake her up, the captor interrupts the scene and there is a climactic fight between the two. Yeah, I think the only way to have this work out as not too creepy, is if the sleeping one is initiating the first move in some magical way.

[@sageserendipity]

Well, that certainly sounds like an interesting concept! I like it!

[@KasumiRINA]

It's kinda like the first arc in Clannad works, but more in a platonic way: Fuko, a girl who got in a coma after she got into an accident, projects herself into the school, befriends people, and gives everyone carved wooden sea stars so they do not forget her, else she disappears. Again, nobody sexually assaults her sleeping body, I guess it's the key to make a story like that work.

That was a really funny version of the story. "They don't make them like they used to."

[@FrenkTheJoy]

I read somewhere that the word "ogre" might be derived from a derogatory French word that refers to Hungarians, so imagine that instead of the prince having a child-eating ogre as a mother, she's a cannibalistic Hungarian. Does that make the story better or worse?

[@markiangooley]

Of course, before Europeans found the Americas, Hungarians had no paprika! So no Children Paprikash!

[@FilmmakeroftheFuture]

Prince Richard is obviously Link from his clothes right down to a fairy telling him what to do.

[@amberthesuperfox]

I thought i was the only one

[@dancepiglover]

When the giant spoke, I was SURE you were doing the voice until you laughed.

[@WilliamGarland]

No "The Nightmare Becomes Reality . . ." joke. For Shame.

[@Tareltonlives]

I was hoping for that :(

[@FrenchPaul1988]

Considering one fairy still had to bless the princess after she got cursed, why wouldn't this fairy bless her with stuff like enough intelligence to avoid touching pointy things ? Sounds like the problem could easily be fixed/avoided.

Whenever Phelous uploads new Goodtimes review, we all get 30 minutes added to our lifespan.

[@Nionivek]

Am I the only one who actually thought the idea of an evil fairy creating a gauntlet of traps... and seeing how each generation learned how to circumvent them and passing on that knowledge to the next... would have been FAR more interesting then just... The evil fairy had the "Anti-trap potion" next to the trap? I am honestly disappointed because I wanted to see how the last Prince cleverly got past the traps.

[@Tareltonlives]

I would totally dig that

[@Tareltonlives]

14:15 I just love the idea that Maleficent is so fussy she insists that Aurora can only die the original way. It's actually in-character.

[@dancepiglover]

How could you not use the Hunchback flying music for the animation of sleeping beauty floating?

[@jacksongibbs8998]

Quasimodo, he flies like a moron.

[@tultsi93]

Oh, yes. There are lots of floating princesses down here. AND YOU'LL FLOAT, TOO!

[@vivimariefedorov7374]

They ALL float down here!!!🤡🎈

[@Tareltonlives]

♫Briar Rose, she flies like a moron♫

[@maniacaldude]

That music was actually from Puma Man, just felt I should point that out.

[@MissBarker93]

This showed up in my notifications as I was taking a nap.

[@SumTr011]

Just after I finished marathoning your Good times reviews for the umpteenth time at work! Guess this calls for a celebratory Phelous lunch break.

[@Nionivek]

Isn't that where you eat a chocolate pizza?

[@lotus-prince]

4:34 Wooooooah, that sounds exactly like the opening lyrics of Nightwish's "Over the Hills and Far Away."

[@paulleow8017]

It's a secret Sharpe crossover

[@lilfizz1619]

Constantly floating around and hearing music all of the time would be really annoying lmao

[@angbandsbane]

Yeah, the entire castle being put to sleep is pretty bad for anyone with loved ones outside the castle, but I think I feel worse for said loved ones. For crying out loud, in one day the entire royal family, royal court and probably a huge chunk of the bureaucracy and military were effectively killed! That's gonna be one heck of an invasion from all sides at once...

[@ruggiebuggie3195]

20:52 I like when a joke from the actual movie feels like Phelous voicing the character.

[@natmar8308]

When I was really young I read a version of the story where the prince was actually the son of the evil fairy and a random king she enchanted. Tbh I'm disappointed no other retelling seems to have done this.

[@josiaharaki7310]

What's funny is that in the disney version, The king and queen did in fact send Malificent a invite, but it got lost in the mail. This is according to some book of Disney Villains they released in the 90s.

[@НиколаСтаменковић]

But is books really a cannon with cartoon?

[@dancepiglover]

The Disney cartoon movie never alluded to anything like that. The queen only asked if Malificent was offended by not getting invited.

[@josiaharaki7310]

@dancepiglover it was in one of those visual dictionaries of Disney villains.

[@totz_the_plaid9625]

I suspect you might feel that you've overused the joke, but was kinda hoping for the "SCIIIIENCE" dinosaur to float past at 7:25 and the flying music from 'The Secret of the Hunchback' to play. So much so that I actually made those jokes out loud to myself during the sequence when I realized you hadn't put them in.

[@vaporwavemicrowave1381]

I agree! Someone should make an edit of that.

[@TMJBtv]

Some say he's still waking up screaming to this day

[@Hillary92126]

Thank you, Phelous for providing amazing content in these dark times.

[@hailhydra2296]

If the evil fairy had been invited I would love to know what her gift was actually supposed to be

[@Tareltonlives]

Probably still death

[@grantmoore8228]

A gift card for Target.

[@JThom529]

The gift of her being there. Do these damn royals take her for a suck-up?!

[@gayghostguy2089]

I definitely won't be having any good times with this movie

[@realafah]

So, um, this looks familiar in a different sense. A blond man in a green tunic risking his life to save the endangered princess from a powerful, dark magic, being. ....huh

[@TheKpa11]

Yeah I know I can't believe this story ripped off Mario 😡..........:)

[@realafah]

lol

[@Tareltonlives]

"Join me, Richard, and I will make your face the greatest in all of Corodai, or else you will die!"

[@marnistone6153]

Someone needs to make a film adaptation of "Sun, Moon, and Talia"

[@cartooncritique6625]

Careful! Disney might try and sue you if it's better than theirs! XD

[@alexp.d3689]

Challenge accepted ...lol

[@lindaeasley4336]

Another Good Times review ! I always look forward to them , and also Dingo reviews

[@thegeek4145]

Actually, in the original story of Snow White she was more comatose than asleep, also the "curse" - it was less of a curse and more of just the poison kept her in a coma and the apple got trapped in her throat making hard for her to breath so she seemed dead-was "broken" when the Prince had his servants take her coffin to be buried but one tripped and the coffin fell down a hill which removed the apple from Snow's throat. It was changed by Disney to be more family friendly more love based and this has become the version most people know about

[@fightingmedialounge519]

Yeah, he already knows that.

[@s.nifrum4580]

Or you could go with the version where the guard wakes her up by punching her in the back

[@davidhileman8567]

Perhaps y'all didn't know this, but on Disney's 1959 adaptation of Sleeping Beauty, which I would claim as quite a good one, especially with its animation and *Maleficent... just Maleficent,* interesting fact: as an uncredited assistant animator for the Disney film, was legendary Warner Bros. Cartoons director Chuck Jones, as well as a young man who started his animation career on the Disney film, and would go on to be an animator for, at first, Jones' independent studios, Sib Tower 12 Productions (a.k.a. MGM Animation/Visual Arts) and Chuck Jones Film Productions, along with DePatie-Freleng Enterprises, before joining Bill Melendez' studio to work on the Peanuts specials, and 25 years after "Sleeping Beauty", went on to found his own animation studio, and create the Garfield television specials, as well as the "Garfield and Friends" TV show, and become an animation executive producer for "The Simpsons", starting with its 4th season in 1992. That young man's name: *Phil Roman*

[@Sarahonwheels]

It is a sign from the universe that i watch the whole version of this last week and suddenly you upload this review. And it gets weird when you have a better version of your princess as an icon.

[@VilexPlague]

I always appreciate you providing the backstories behind these videos or topics (in this case in regards to the origins of Sleeping Beauty as a story) relating to them

[@DrawciaGleam02]

I love how Phelan mentions that Snow White and Sleeping Beauty have very similar plot lines. XD

[@MrOrcshaman]

So primrose put the entire castle to sleep for 100 years and a day, including the king, queen and the entire court. This means the region has no one ruling or governing over it for 100 years, meaning all villages in the region likely suffered from starvation, war and conflict. Primrose really is the most evil fairy here, Odelia was just slightly snubbed and only had one target.

[@MySweetBlake]

“He sleeps at the bottom of the bottomless pit,” Just that line in general is amazing but when the giant falls he looks like a normal human

[@gwendolynstata3775]

Anyway, I loved this movie, it's the best adaptation of Sleeping Beauty ever.

[@trixxsaurus2386]

*screams*

[@cybercoltz9054]

Weeb material

[@cybercoltz9054]

Really

[@Tareltonlives]

I liked it more than Maleficent

[@AntiTrustLawsuit]

If Phelan sleeps, what fictional character can wake him up?

[@DU_hockeygirl40]

Wabuu

[@MediumRareOpinions]

Sadly he left the window open and got wet in the rain...hes completely useless now

[@DanzigFan-vq3zf]

HYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[@DragonNexus]

I liked it when Terry Pratchett joked about this fairy tale in Wyrd Sisters. How "Black Alice" didn't put the whole kingdom to sleep, she just messed with time and moved the kingdom into the future because it was easier. She later bosted about sending the kingdom to sleep to pat her ego.

[@SuperFloxes]

I freaking love Disney's Sleeping Beauty so now Goodtimes is messing with me on a personal level. Or something.

[@gothnerd887]

This reminds me of a nightgown I designed one time. I was inspired by the idea of Sleeping Beauty played by Eugina Cooney.

[@wstine79]

Wabuu and Old Man strike again!

[@otakunthevegan4206]

Most ambitious crossover.

[@jacksongibbs8998]

HEE + HEA

[@ciciizo1193]

Oh sweet, you finally did this one. I know nobody expected me to say this, but I love this movie, it's the best adaptation of Sleeping Beauty ever. Ok, joking aside, this is the Goodtimes movie I grew up watching that I enjoyed the most (I've seen a lot of those types of movies as a kid), it's so nostalgic, but man, it does not hold up at all. (I had no idea of the other versions except Disney, man that's messed up, I'm glad Disney's version changed so much in that regard)

3:27 In Perrault the Prince doesn't even kiss her, she awakes when he approaches, without contact. The kiss appears in the Grimm Brothers' version, even tough there are some parralel folkloric versions.

[@s0s2]

Once more we have been blessed with a review by Phelous. Thank you, mighty gods!
