Darkside Disney Princesses: Sleeping Beauty
Click for better quality
(Edited, changed the picture as I didn’t think it was as high quality as the others were, old picture under the cut)
Tumblr media
Sleeping Beauty I decided to take a twist on the whole Maleficent movie relationship thing.
So for this AU, Briar Rose, instead of running up to her room in despair after hearing she's a princess and has to leave her whole life behind, instead runs out into the woods. And before the fairies can find her--they're still keeping their magic small to keep their location secret, not knowing its already been compromised--she runs into Maleficent.
Of course, she has no idea who the wicked fairy is. No one has ever told her about her. All she knows is that a beautiful and powerful being of the forest is before her, but Rose has never known real wickedness, and perhaps she's feeling somewhat rebellious towards her aunts, so she begins talking to the strange woman when Maleficent --who likes to play with her food-- feigna concern asks Rose to tell her what's made her so upset.
So Rose tells her about how she just found out her whole life is a lie, and how she'll never see the first boy she ever met again, and how she doesn't want to go and be princess with a king and queen she doesnt know, parents who gave her up for some reason intead of bothering to raise her themselves.
If she had had time to process her grief, and the promise of not being separated from her new found love, Rose might have been able to get over these resentments, spoken in the heat of the moment, more quickly.
But Maleficent decides that fanning the flames of he Princess's broken heart and trust, playing on her anger towards Stefan and the three fairies, could be so much more entertaining than just killing the girl outright.
So she takes Rose by the arm, and back with her to her palace, where she promises her the truth about all her questions, and the answers to how to solve all her problems...
Time passes, and the princess never arrives on her 16th birthday.
The king and queen are distraught. Relations breakdown between the human kingdom and the fairy court, as the fairies failed in their duties to guard the human girl, and they are called back into the Veil of the Fairies, leaving the mortals to fend for themselves.
Then relations break down between the human kingdoms when Prince Phillip goes missing as well, vanished into the forest, never to be seen again.
And then others begin to vanish. A farmer here, a wandering knight there. A whole group of children one moonless night. As more disappear, many more begin to flee entirely. Fields are left untilled, houses abandoned, borders undefended.
Tales soon cross the land as the refugees take flight from Stefan and Hubert's kingdoms. Tales of a dark presence that haunts the shadows of the woods, stealing away those who are foolish enough to wander beneath the trees. A fiend who takes the shape of a beautiful forest sprite, with a voice like a nightnagle. She causes all who hear it to fall under her spell, wandering into the shadows like they're walking in a dream, one from which they will never wake...

Modern universe: Audrey and her family. I made one version with my redesign of Audrey and one with an Audrey that looks a bit more like the actress who plays her cause my first post of her sparked some controversy.
Hope you guys like it.

I'm sure there's more but these are some of the really notable nods to other classic children's stories and Disney princesses that they put in the live action Cinderella
Tumblr media
An old beggar woman
This scene with the fairy godmother first appearing like a haggard beggar before revealing herself as a beautiful enchantress is such a nod to the opening of the Beauty and the Beast cartoon. She's got the heavy hood like the stained glass crone-enchantress does and you somehow know what's at stake from the moment she asks for the milk. Cinderella of course shows the kindness that the young prince failed to do even though she's having the worst day ever and this lady is not just haggard but uncouth and a little bizarre. She passes the test and looks beyond the externals to the heart.
Tumblr media
A prince in the forest
Handsome prince riding his horse through a forest and comes across a beautiful and mysterious girl... Is it cartoon Sleeping Beauty or live action Cinderella? I love that they not only gave Prince Charming/Kit a personality and a plot but that when doing so they mapped a lot of Prince Philip onto him (the best actual royal Disney prince imo) he's got a good relationship with his dad but also stands up to him on things like marrying outside of his class and having different visions for the future but you can tell Philip and Hubert care for each other and have a similar relationship to Kit and the king. Both the king and King Hubert say almost the same lines about "you can't marry a girl you just met once in the forest" they even give him some Hubert-esque facial hair and Kit gets to do a bunch of gallant horseback riding scenes just like my fav prince Philip
Tumblr media
A Secret Garden
Now this isn't a princess nod but most children have read the Secret Garden or watched one of the many film adaptations. What I love about this being part of the story is that without explicitly stating it, anyone who's familiar with the Secret Garden, will know the backstory it's inclusion implies. It's their way of telling us Kit spent time with his mother here and it's special to him and he's sharing that with his mystery princess because he trusts her. "I've never shown this to anyone" plus the carryover of what we all associate with a "secret garden" gives us all the subtext we need to know that the garden was his mother's. Add to that Ella's hesitation to get on the swing it's almost like she knows too. It's just woven into the film where this all is so self evident without anything having to be said overtly. Absolutely masterful storytelling weaving in all these elements from the staples of childhood stories to add a texture to this adaptation where you know more than is said due to the cues they give the audience that tie in with other familiar stories

✨🌹 Yesterday marked the 65th anniversary of Disney’s “Sleeping Beauty”. It turned out to be the last animated fairy tale produced during Walt Disney’s lifetime. I decided to commemorate the movie’s anniversary with a drawing of Princess Aurora as Briar Rose. What I find most challenging about drawing Aurora is the need to faithfully incorporate the design elements crafted by her lead animator Marc Davis, one of Disney’s Nine Old Men. ✨✨

whoever has started the idea that hubert is perfectly stoic and monotone and emotionless all the time has clearly never seen this man speak because he sounds like he’s giving a theatre performance of a lifetime. his A support with dorothea. him reminiscing claude. his paralogue? his over the top intonations and dripping sarcasm and his little evil mastermind chuckles but also his voice flowing away into silence and reverence and love. his dialogue with the slither mages? lord arundel? this man is funny! he is funny and he is approaching your location with alarming speed!

Shakespeare’s King John has literally everything going for it. A main guy who sucks so bad. A hot bastard who’s debatably the hero of the show. A furious mother with some banger monologues. Child death. Some old guy. Eleanor of Aquitaine. Truly one of the most stories ever told.

SLEEPING BEAUTY PARENTS BACKSTORY
I've said a lot of this before here but i'll go over it again for the sake of the post
Stefan grew up a ward of the Fairy King and Queen, a young mortal infant they found abandoned in the woods and took under their literal wings
His caregivers during this time were the Three Good Fairies, favored handmaidens of Queen Titania
He had a happy and mostly carefree childhood, not venturing beyond the Veil of the Fairies until he reached young adulthood, when he began wandering the edges of the forests that touched on the kingdom of Perceforet
And it was during one of these excursions that he met the beautiful young princess Leah, who'd snuck away from the castle to enjoy the beauty of the woods in spring
Tumblr media
Though Leah was initially startled by the strange young man who appeared from the forest, she soon lost her fear as she saw how kind and courteous he was, and the two began to meet frequently at the woods edge, their friendship growing into love.
Eventually though their trysts were discovered, and Stefan was taken before Leah's father, King Florestan, who demanded to know just who Stefan was who dared to court his daughter
Stefan confidently declared himself the foster son of Oberon, and though this caused the king pause, for he didn't want to risk offending the Fairy Court, he still felt Stefan wasn't a desirable suitor for Leah's hand, as he could be any commoner's son by birth
And so King Florestan declared that if Stefan wished to prove himself worthy of Leah's hand he must accept to undertake a quest--a traditional challenge that he was within his rights to give without risking offense from Stefan’s guardians--and if he succeeded then he would win Leah's hand and the throne as well, as Florestan had no sons (he wasn't the most progressive king but it was the 14th century)
Stefan agreed, and Florestan tasked him with a quest he was sure would be impossible
Somewhere within the land of Percefort there lives a devilish imp with golden hair, known for his dark bargains and darker powers. Stefan must find the imp's lair, break into it, and steal three golden hairs from the imp's head. All without being cursed and or killed by the imp of course--and he must do so before the next full moon
Stefan has heard of this being from hushed whispers in the Fairy Court. He knows how dangerous the task will be but determines to accept it anyway.
It was at this time that Stefan would meet someone who would become his lifelong friend, the King Hubert of Ulstead, and his wife Queen Isolde. Hubert had been visiting the neighboring court of Florestan and was impressed with what he saw of Stefan, and determined to help him on his quest
Tumblr media
The two traveled together through the darkest parts of the forest, fighting savage beasts and overcoming challenges that fell in their way, searching for the lair of the golden haired imp
At last they discovered it, a strange warped place, like a canker in the darkest heart of the forest
During all this time Stefan has managed to overcome with his wits/Hubert's help, as he was told by his foster father before heading off that he would need to fulfill this quest on his own without the magical aid of hia caregivers to prove his worthiness--but now he comes to an impasse
The imp's lair is protected with deeply potent magic, and thats still only the outside. If he's even able to get in Stefan has no real idea what challenges the imp may provide
With time running out, Stefan finally resolves to try his luck with a loophole. He knows he's not meant to ask for magical aid from the Court. But he knows one person who had never truly been part of it. One person who's magics could be a match for the Imp's protections--his foster cousin Melisandre
He summoned her and explained his need, and she agreed to aid him in his quest, under the conditions that he would make her his royal sorceress once he gained the kingship after marrying Leah
(Unbeknownst to Stefan, or indeed anyone in the Fairy Court, Melisandre had long since fallen to evil and looked to become a dark influence upon the human kingdoms with this appointment)
Due to being half-demon herself, as well as very powerful, Melisandre was able to work her way through the wards of the Imp, and using her wits and wiles managed to charm him upon his discovering her. Soon enough, she had him in a state of stupor and was able to this way gain the three golden hairs without his knowledge, sneaking back to Stefan before the Imp awoke
Tumblr media
Stefan traveled back to Perceforet and just in time presented the three hairs to Florestan, who was shocked but bound to his word, and betrothed Leah and Stefan to be wed the following fortnight 
However all was not yet well. Melisandre had long carried a grudge against her aunt the Fairy Queen Titania, and decided at last to take her vengance through harming her husband King Oberon
Taking the three hairs of the Imp, which she asked Stefan to grant her and he agreed thanks to her help, she crafted a ring which would drain the life from Oberon slowly, and had it presented through a third party to her uncle
 Stefan however, recognized the make of the ring, and linked it with his foster father's illness, but before he could raise an alarm Melisandre reminded him that she had aided him in his quest, going against the Fairy King's express wishes. If he kept his silence then none would know of his deception and Leah would remain his.
Stefan realized the truth of these words, but ultimately decided he could not stand by as his foster father faded away and the fairy court plunge into chaos
He revealed his intrigue with Melisandre and her actions taken against the crown
Titania tried to take Melisandre into custody once her betrayal was revealed , but her magic prevented her capture, and she turned upon the Fairy Queen intending to destroy her
Stefan however in his moment of integrity  proved worthy of wielding the Sword of Truth, Oberon's sword which could only be wielded by a worthy hand and turned it against Melisandre, stopping her attack and casting her from the Court
Melisandre fled, her access to the Fairy Court revoked and a new name of derision given to her, Maleficent
Oberon's life had been saved, but he was still gravely ill, and was forced to draw deeper into Faerie to recover, Titania going with him, but granting Stefan their thanks and forgiveness before they did, promising that he and his family would always remain friends of the Fairy Court
Stefan then told the truth to Florestan and Leah, but Leah refused to break the engagement, arguing that Stefan had now proved himself twice over and asserting her intention to have none but him as her husband
And so the two were wed, (though they had some trouble from the vengeful Imp keeping them from having a child for many years and the vengeance of Maleficent when they finally did) and lived happily ever after
