“That’s Not Aurora” – Disney Princess Mishap Leaves ‘Sleeping Beauty’ Fans In Tears

Princess Aurora, better known as Sleeping Beauty, is one of Walt Disney Studios’ most iconic and recognizable characters…so something must have gone terribly wrong for an outcry of “That’s not Aurora” from fans.

Released in 1959, Sleeping Beauty was one of Walt Disney Studios’ first princess films, with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) and Cinderella (1950) being the only other two at the time.

Sleeping Beauty tells the story of Briar Rose/Princess Aurora, Prince Phillip, the Good Fairies, and the Wicked Fairy Maleficent.

Although other Disney movies about princesses have become more popular, such as The Little Mermaid (1989), Beauty and the Beast (1991), and Mulan (1998), Sleeping Beauty remains one of the most discernable Disney movies in the company’s history.

So, it comes as little surprise to hear that many will recognize the titular character from the classic animated film, even if they’ve never seen the movie.

Recently, a TikTok creator tried to recreate Princess Aurora using only stickers from an activity booklet. But it didn’t take long for the activity to go south…
