Les Contes de ma mère l'Oye (The Tales of my Mother Goose) influenced Sleeping Beauty

Perrault's La Belle au bois dormant supplies the christening, the slighted fairy, the curse fixed to a spindle and the hundred years of sleep. Disney stops where Perrault's first half stops and drops his second, in which the prince's ogress mother tries to eat the children. The film's score is built on Tchaikovsky's ballet of the same tale rather than on the text.
