Sleeping Beauty (Disney film)/Trivia

• Genre Killer: The film's failure to earn back its exorbitant budget resulted in this twofold: not only was it the last fairy tale Disney would make until The Little Mermaid in 1989, it also ended Disney's second run of lavish, expensive animated features that had been restarted with Cinderella in 1950; this inadvertently began The Dark Age of Animation, as Disney was the last studio in Hollywood that was willing to spend money on full animation.
