Sleeping beauty

Briefly,

Prologue
Princess Aurora is born. The christening of the baby princess is celebrated by guests all over the kingdom. There were 6 fairy godmothers and they were happy to give their blessings on the lovely child. Then, there comes Fairy Carabosse (one evil fairy) who cast a spell on the princess so that she will prick her finger on her 16th birthday and die. Thankfully, Lilac Fairy (one of the fairy godmothers) pronounces that the princess will not die but will only sleep for 100 years and be awakened by the kiss of true love.

Act 1
The princess became a beautiful lady and at the birthday ball, 4 princes were there. However, she did not choose any of them. A mysterious old woman arrived and offered the princess a bouquet of flowers with a poisoned needle. She pricks of it and falls asleep.

Act 2
That's 100 years later. Lilac fairy shows Prince Florimund a vision of this sleeping princess. A love at 1st sight! He went to the palace and kisses her, and the princess wakes up.

Act 3
The wedding day. Special guests arrive for the wedding too. Some are fairytale characters including Puss in Boots and White Cat, Bluebird and Florine, and Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf.


THE END.


Why haven't I heard of Bluebird and Florine before?? I thought I grew up in the era when all these fairytale characters were super popular. I grow up reading these story books while I was a kid. Seems like all these tales were from the same author, the guy who also wrote Cinderella.

Alright, synopsis done. Photos now...



We went hunting for the posters to snap photos with it.
