The Disney Princess Collection DVD includes "Tangled", "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", "The Little Mermaid", and "Sleeping Beauty".
Collection of four animated Disney features adapted from fairy tale
stories. 'Tangled' (2010) is a retelling of the classic Brothers
Grimm fairy tale 'Rapunzel'. While hiding out in a seemingly
abandoned tower deep in the forest, handsome young bandit Flynn
Rider (voice of Zachary Levi) is surprised to discover that the
tower does in fact have an occupant in the form of feisty
long-haired teen Rapunzel (Mandy Moore). Rapunzel, who has been
looking for a means of escape from the tower in which she has been
grounded for her entire life, strikes a deal with the dashing
outlaw and the unlikely pair soon find themselves caught up in the
adventure of a lifetime as they face magic, monsters and villains
in their quest for freedom. In 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'
(1937), also based on a fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, Snow
White (Adriana Caselotti) is born pure and beautiful, so beautiful
that her evil stepmother orders a huntsman to take her into the
forest and kill her. However, the huntsman takes pity on the young
beauty and sets her free. Alone and lost in the forest, she soon
meets a group of kindly dwarfs, who provide her with friendship and
a place to sleep. But the evil stepmother is still at large,
planning to kill Snow White using the tried and tested method of a
poisoned apple. In 'The Little Mermaid' (1989), based on Hans
Christian Andersen's story, Ariel (Jodi Benson) is the mermaid
daughter of King Triton (Kenneth Mars), and lives beneath the
waves. However, Ariel longs to see the world above, especially
after rescuing a handsome prince from drowning. To this end she
makes a deal with sea witch Ursula (Pat Carroll): Ariel can live
above the sea in exchange for her beautiful singing voice. Ariel
soon regrets her decision, however, when it transpires that her
father's kingdom is at risk. In 'Sleeping Beauty' (1959), adapted
from another folk tale written by the Brothers Grimm, Princess
Aurora (Mary Costa) falls into a deep and endless sleep on her 16th
birthday as a result of a curse put on her when she was born by the
evil fairy Maleficent (Eleanor Audley). Only a kiss from Prince
Phillip (Bill Shirley) can wake Aurora, and three good fairies set
out to engineer that event.
