AICN set alight the touchpaper when they posted the rumour that Tim Burton is developing another remake of a Disney classic following his work on the much anticipated Alice In Wonderland.
This time Burton is lining up Sleeping Beauty, but as always with Burton – there’s a twist. The story would be told from the point of view of Maleficent, the glorious antagonist of the classic Disney film.
The hand of Tim Burton is evident in every image and trailer we’ve seen so far of the forthcoming Alice in Wonderland adaptation. The familiar black and white stripes abound along with a decidedly playful take on the inhabitants of Wonderland and all point to Burton’s honing of his own particular take on the much loved tale. The opportunity to see Burton examine the dark heart of Sleeping Beauty is one too good to miss, even if it means production on Dark Shadows takes its place on the Burton back burner.
Disney seem to have come around to championing Burton and his ‘roadkill’ designs, and if they want to entrust their precious properties to him then I’ve no complaint.
Would you watch a Tim Burton directed Sleeping Beauty?

Just to say. I love tim burton. If we think back, people were ready to slate alice in wonderland, but look at it now, an international blockbuster! I think that the alice in wonderland film was amazing and well excecuted. If sleeping beauty is done it will be a success wether people slate it or not. Tim has the imagination, creation and the time. I wish him well in his next venture. muchthanks angharad

The Disney World castle is the iconic fairy tale fortress that serves as the gateway to Fantasyland in Magic Kingdom’s theme park. It is not only one of the central icons of Walt Disney World resort, but its romantic beauty has also come to represent all of the Walt Disney Company. It really is small wonder why Disney World will come to most people’s mind when seeing an image of the castle.
Maleficent curses the infant princess so that when she becomes a beautiful woman on her sixteenth birthday, she will prick her finger on a spinning wheel and die. Merryweather bestows a gift unto the princess whereby the prick will not cause Aurora to die, but to fall into a deep sleep that can only be broken by a kiss from her true love.
