* OnceOriginalNowCommon: It's hard to watch ''Sleeping Beauty'' nowadays and ''not'' think of the Creator/{{Rankin Bass|Productions}} animated adaptation of ''WesternAnimation/TheHobbit'' from the late Seventies, or of the many [[HighFantasy "sword and sorcery"]] animated kids' shows of The80s (the best example probably being ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983''), whose collective aesthetic and tone echoed a lot of what was seen and heard in this film.

** It's arguably the TropeCodifier for what many consider the "Disney Princess formula" of the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon and its many imitators, especially compared to the films of the MediaNotes/TheRenaissanceAgeOfAnimation, particularly regarding its characters like Aurora for PrincessClassic and RebelliousPrincess (albeit a [[DownplayedTrope downplayed one]]), Phillip for PrinceCharming and KnightInShiningArmor, the Three Fairies for FairyCompanion and SpotlightStealingSquad, Maleficent for CardCarryingVillain and OneWingedAngel, and Samson for CoolHorse and NonHumanSidekick.
