Disney classic "Sleeping Beauty" meets modern-age technology in new DVD
11:52 a.m. Tuesday, October 7, 2008
Disney has re-released its classic story of Sleeping Beauty numerous times since its creation, but the latest Platinum edition offers something new to the audience.
This DVD, which hit store shelves today, offers digitally remastered sound and picture.
The disc also now comes with an alternative opening and a making-of documentary that impressed Film Critic and "Sleeping Beauty" fan Keith Van Sickle.
Fast Fact:
In 1959, Disney's animated movie cost around $6 million to make. "It was the most expensive animated film ever made at the time," Van Sickle said.
Other extras include a music video from Emily Osment from Hannah Montana, a move that Van Sickle says is typical Disney cross-promotion.
So, are consumers getting their money's worth?
Van Sickle says yes.
However, if someone already has a previous version of this story, he says they can take a pass on this new version.
"If you already have it, think twice," he said.
