00:00once upon a time in a faraway kingdom surrounded by rolling green hills and sparkling rivers there lived a kind and wise king and queen
00:10after many years of wishing their hearts were filled with joy when a baby girl was born to them she had rosy cheeks golden hair and eyes that twinkled like the morning stars
00:23they named her aurora and the whole kingdom rejoiced to celebrate her birth the king and queen invited everyone to a grand celebration at the castle nobles villagers and even fairies from the enchanted forest
00:39three kind fairies arrived at the party flora fauna and merriweather each bringing a magical gift for the baby princess flora fluttered her wings and said
00:52i give the gift of beauty aurora shall be as lovely as a blooming rose fauna stepped forward and said
01:00i give the gift of song her voice shall be as sweet as a nightingale but before merriweather could give her gift
01:08the castle doors blew open with a gust of cold wind a fourth fairy one who had not been invited stood in the doorway
01:17her name was malvera and she was powerful proud and very angry at being forgotten
01:23with a voice like thunder malvera pointed her staff and declared
01:29on her 16th birthday aurora shall prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel
01:36and fall into a deep sleep never to awaken gasps echoed through the hall
01:42the queen clutched her daughter the king shouted wards but it was too late
01:49malvera had vanished in a cloud of dark smoke merriweather stepped forward
01:54i cannot undo the curse she said sadly but i can soften it aurora will not die
02:01she will sleep but she can be awakened by true love's kiss
02:06to protect their daughter the king and queen asked the three kind fairies to raise aurora in a cottage
02:13deep in the forest they named her briar rose and never told her she was a princess
02:20aurora grew up full of grace and laughter with the animals of the forest as her friends
02:26she sang with the birds and danced with the sunlight
02:30on the morning of her 16th birthday while picking berries she met a kind young man with gentle eyes
02:38and a warm smile they talked laughed and sang and their hearts quietly whispered that they were meant
02:46to be what aurora didn't know was that the young man was prince philip the son of a neighboring king
02:53that evening the fairies finally revealed her true identity
02:58she was a princess and she must return to the castle to meet her parents
03:04aurora was shocked but agreed
03:07meanwhile malvera learned that aurora had returned to the castle
03:11disguised as an old woman
03:14she lured aurora to a hidden room where a spinning wheel stood glowing
03:19entranced aurora reached out and touched the spindle
03:23she fell instantly into a deep magical sleep
03:27the fairies placed her gently in a soft bed in the tallest tower
03:31the entire castle filled with sorrow
03:34soon drifted into slumber as well
03:37everyone frozen in time
03:39but the fairies knew there was still hope
03:43they searched far and wide for prince philip
03:46for they sensed the bond between him and aurora was true
03:50when he heard what had happened
03:52prince philip bravely fought through the dark forest of thorns that had grown around the castle
03:58malvera in fury transformed into a mighty dragon
04:03but with courage and the fairies help
04:07philip defeated her and reached the tower
04:09there he found aurora sleeping peacefully
04:13he leaned down and gently kissed her forehead
04:16aurora's eyes fluttered open
04:18the curse was broken
04:20the castle came back to life with the sound of joy
04:24the king and queen embraced their daughter
04:27and the people of the kingdom cheered
04:30aurora and philip were soon married in a celebration
