Sleeping Beauty, Walt Disney's iconic tale of love triumphing over evil, has been released from the Disney vault for a limited time only to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its original release.

In celebration of this landmark event, the two-disc Disney Platinum Edition will be the first ever to be released on the high definition format, Blu-ray.

The timeless tale begins with the birth of Princess Aurora. As the kingdom rejoices, her three fairy god mothers Flora, Fauna and Merryweather bestow magical gifts upon the child.

Everything is perfect until the evil sorceress Maleficent places a curse upon Aurora to prick her finger on a poisoned spinning wheel and die on her 16th birthday.

Merryweather tries to undo the curse by casting a spell causing Aurora to fall into a deep and ageless sleep - a sleep that can only be broken by a true love's kiss...
