And things you (okay, I) never knew...

... such as that the tune for "Once Upon a Dream" from Disney's Sleeping Beauty actually comes from Tchaikovsky's ballet of the same name. (Incidentally, does anyone else agree that this is one seriously undeservedly underwatched Disney film? I place it squarely in the ranks of the old good films, like Snow White and Bambi. Cinderella was probably the first of the not-good-ones in my estimation.)

Ooh, I could start a poll to that effect! But then I'd have to go figure out how to do a poll. :)

I agree, Sleeping Beauty is one of the good ones...though every time I hear a reference to things "going back into the Disney vault", it reminds me why I don't go to see Disney animated flicks anymore. Money-grubbing, evil people...
