Sleeping Beauty

I watched another Sleeping Beauty movie. This one was in 2014. I watched it on Peacock. It has Grace Van Dien, Finn Jones, Catherine Oxenberg, Casper Van Dien, Olivia d’Abo, Edward Lewis French, and Gil Kolirin in it.

Big Warning: There is violence, and bad acting. Spoiler below.

In this movie, a princess named Dawn. Her parents threw a party when she was born. An evil queen came and put a spell on her that she would die on her sixteen birthday when she pricked her finger. One good witch made the spell so Dawn would just fall asleep. On Dawn’s sixteenth birthday is asked by a boy to somewhere private and he gives her a spindle needle. Of course she pricks her finger and the whole kingdom falls asleep. The evil queen was that boy. Many years pass and a whipping boy finds a map to Dawn’s castle. The prince of that land wants Dawn’s kingdom for himself. So they go in search of the castle and treasure. They encounter a sea dragon and zombies. The prince ends up being killed by the evil queen because he tried to kiss Dawn (to wake her up). Dawn doesn’t wake up because he doesn’t have a pure heart. The whipping boy is killed too and becomes a zombie, but he kisses Dawn who wakes up and they take back the kingdom. They have a little girl and the evil queen shows up again.

Even though there was some bad acting, I liked the movie. Next week I’m watching Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. (Yes, I have seen the first movie.)
