The story
In a land far away, a princess is born, as sweet as the scent of blooming roses. Therefore, they name her: Sleeping Beauty. To celebrate her birth, a grand royal party is held. Everyone is invited, except for the somewhat clumsy wizards Thibalt and Corry. Out of frustration, they cast a spell: before her 21st birthday, Sleeping Beauty will prick herself on a spinning wheel and fall into a deep sleep forever. To everyone's surprise, the spell works, and the kingdom is in turmoil.
To protect Sleeping Beauty, spinning wheels are banned, and the princess grows up with her lovely godmothers, three good fairies. Then the big day arrives: it’s Sleeping Beauty's birthday! She turns 21, the spell is almost over, and she is crowned queen. The kingdom is celebrating, but once again, Thibalt and Corry are not invited to the coronation ball. The wizards won't let that happen again. Secretly, the two appear at the ball and give her an enchanted spinning wheel. One prick... and the sleeping spell becomes reality. Sleeping Beauty and the entire court fall into a deep sleep. Will anyone ever break the spell? Or will Sleeping Beauty remain in dreamland forever?
