The origin of the castle on the Disney logo

As long as it is a movie released by Disney, the Disney company’s logo will be displayed at the beginning. This logo is almost a form from the simple pattern combination at the beginning to the gorgeous CG fragments: a castle appears at the beginning, and finally "Walt" appears. "Disney Pictures". This castle is the "Sleeping Beauty Castle" that appeared in this film, and it is also a landmark of Disneyland. However, this film is also a work that once made Disney lose money. At that time, Disney invested heavily in the film but failed to receive a good box office, which caused the company to fall into a financial crisis (this is why Disney is making the next The work "101 Faithful Dogs" reduced the cost a lot, but this work achieved great success at the time). In contrast, when the film was rescreened many years later, it achieved good results. Achievements have also made "Sleeping Beauty" one of Disney's most famous animation works.
The most impressive part of this film is the picture, mainly from the level of the time, the exquisiteness of the details is better than the other Disney works of the same period, which may also be attributed to the high cost of production. Especially commendable is the castle depicted in this moment. This is the place with the most colors and the most vivid colors in this film. Those colorful decorations are dazzling, highlighting the gorgeousness of the castle, and perhaps this is why this castle becomes Disney logo.
In terms of plot, Disney this time made the "three witches" the most important character in the story. These three witches, if you sum it up, they have strong magical ability, but their usual survival ability is very weak. They are kind-hearted and uphold justice, but occasionally they make small mistakes. Although they always like to fight each other a little bit. (Even the color of the princess's skirt changes in the end), but never intrigue, and help each other and overcome difficulties when encountering difficulties. They are such simple and cute characters, and they are also the most impressive part of the film. Although the film is to increase the role of the prince, it is nothing compared to the three witches. Moreover, the prince's final success is largely dependent on the help of the three witches. The prince is left to others. On the contrary, the impression is not particularly deep.
I heard that this film was adapted from Tchaikovsky’s "Sleeping Beauty" ballet, so I later watched the POB version of the "Sleeping Beauty" ballet. After watching it, I also found out that the film actually borrowed a lot of tracks from "Sleeping Beauty Suite". The adaptation of this film is largely based on the adaptation of the original fairy tale (if it is adapted from a ballet, the princess should be Pierced by the needles of the knitting sweater instead of the needles of the spinning wheel). In contrast, the role of the prince in the ballet version is the most important. Among them, the scene of the witch entrusting the prince to the prince and taking the prince to the castle is an impressive place. However, since the story of defeating the black witch has not been described in much length, this kind of plot is actually not very suitable for the adaptation of the drama.

    These three good fairies are so cute, I really want to raise them! The prince looks better when he was a child~ Princess Sleeping Beauty must be the first person to wear a gradient princess dress~ This screenwriter is still very good, expanding a very ordinary story to be so rich and cute~

    The plot that can be summed up in one sentence, the style of painting and the theme song Once upon a dream are still very good. Princess Aurora's sunshine blonde hair and red red rose lips look a lot like a nightclub girl. Sleeping Spell gives an explanation of why the villain witch casts the spell. On the other hand, the three fairies with the frontal characters behave like the brainless Virgin, and they should be sprayed to death by trolls when they were posted online.
