Sleeping Beauty - Part II

I wrote about Sleeping Beauty last week (I meant to include this in the last post) and when looking for images, I came across a documentary called Waking Sleeping Beauty.

Here is a piece of the movie blurb: [Via Apple]

"Waking Sleeping Beauty is no fairytale. It is a story of clashing egos, out of control budgets, escalating tensions… and one of the most extraordinary creative periods in animation history. Director Don Hahn and producer Peter Schneider, key players at Walt Disney Studios Feature Animation department during the mid1980s, offer a behind—the—magic glimpse of the turbulent times the Animation Studio was going through and the staggering output of hits that followed over the next ten years. Artists polarized between the hungry young innovators and the old guard who refused to relinquish control, mounting tensions due to a string of box office flops, and warring studio heads create the backdrop for this fascinating story told with a unique and candid perspective from those that were there..."

Okay, so it may be a little off topic, but as a former Disney fanatic, I am interested.

In theaters: March 26, 2010

Sleeping Beauty.

I was just planning on making this post about Sleeping Beauty, and I plan on doing a future post on this princess,... however, while perusing the web today, I found a case about "The Real Life Sleeping Beauty." In this article, I read about a disease called Kleine-Levin syndrome.

This is a condition where the affected person sleeps for excessively long periods. In the article, the girl slept for 13 days during her last sleep. This neurological disorder often brings depression with it. There are no known cures for the disease. Whoa.

I'm thinking that my mother can no longer yell at me for sleeping in.
