Sleeping Beauty
A newborn princess cursed to die by her sixteenth birthday must evade hidden dangers and survive a fateful prick, hoping true love’s kiss will break the spell before darkness claims her kingdom.
“Awaken to a World of Wonders!”
Synopsis
Princess Aurora is cursed at birth by the evil fairy Maleficent, who prophesies that she will die by the time she reaches adulthood. To protect her, the princess is hidden and raised in secret under the care of three good fairies. As Aurora grows up away from the public eye, Maleficent becomes more resolute in her efforts to ensure the curse is fulfilled.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 27
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 8.6× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
