Sleeping Beauty (1959 film) Sleeping Beauty is a 1959 American animated musical fantasy film produced by Walt Disney based on "The Sleeping Beauty" by Charles Perrault. The 16th Disney animated feature film, it was released to theaters on January 29, 1959, by Buena Vista Distribution. This was the last Disney adaptation of a fairy tale for some years because of its initial mixed critical reception and underperformance at the box office; the studio did not return to the genre until 30 years later, after Walt Disney died in 1966, with the release of "The Little Mermaid" (1989).
