ā¢ The running gag of Flora and Merryweather arguing about whether Aurora's dress should be pink or blue originated from the filmmakers' problem as to deciding just that.
ā¢ In the German version of this fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, Sleeping Beauty is named Briar Rose. In the Tchaikovsky ballet, her name is Aurora. The film incorporates both names by having Princess Aurora use the name "Briar Rose" while in hiding. In the traditional Italian version of the story, the character's name is Princess Talia.
ā¢ The last fairy tale produced by the studio until The Little Mermaid (1989) 30 years later.

I have a theory about this movie...
"Now, Father, you're living in the past. This is the 14th Century!"
Good Disney cartoon features Tchaikowsky's ballet
