Sleeping Beauty becomes the 11th Walt Disney Animation Studios title to officially join to the Walt Disney Signature Collection.
This film is the last fairy tale that Walt Disney would produce during his lifetime. I’ll have a full review forthcoming but for the meantime, here is what you can expect on the Blu-ray or Digital release. The Signature Collection edition comes ahead of the Disney+ launch in November in addition to the live-action Maleficent sequel. The release also marks the film’s 50th anniversary this past January.
