The beginning starts with Prince Philip “killing” the dragon Maleficent turns into, and then realizing that she didn’t actually die. Either way, this one follows up with the series name of “A Twisted Tale,” in which the author literally takes things from the original tale and makes it much more morbid than what we are used to. The writing perhaps was a large aspect of it, and the characters in general. While I enjoyed this one much more than its predecessor, A Whole New World (you can find my review here), something just didn’t mesh well with me. Will the sleeping beauty be able to wake herself up? But with Maleficent’s agents following her every move, Aurora struggles to discover who her true allies are, and moreover, who she truly is. Soon she stumbles upon Phillip, a charming prince eager to join her quest.

With a desperate fairy’s last curse infiltrating her mind, Princess Aurora will have to navigate a dangerous and magical landscape deep in the depths of her dreams. But when said prince falls asleep as soon as his lips meet the princess’s, it is clear that this fairy tale is far from over. It should be simple–a dragon defeated, a slumbering maiden, a prince poised to wake her. Tokyo Disneyland Electrical Parade: DreamLights įireworks: Believe.What if the sleeping beauty never woke up?
