Overview:

In this satirical version, a Wicked Fairy casts a beautiful Princess into a deep sleep, but when the Prince arrives to awaken her, he sees a business opportunity instead. The Prince, who bears a striking resemblance to Walt Disney, turns the castle into a theme park called "Sleepingbeautyland" and charges the public to view the slumbering Princess. When the Wicked Fairy returns demanding her share of the profits, the Prince plots to get rid of her to maintain control. However, the story takes a twist as questions arise—Is the Princess really asleep? And who is truly exploiting whom?
