Besides, is Sleeping Beauty Aurora or Briar Rose?
Princess Aurora, also known as Sleeping Beauty or Briar Rose, is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Productions' 16th animated feature film Sleeping Beauty (1959). However, Costa's southern accent nearly cost her the role until she proved that she could sustain a British accent for the duration of film.
Considering this, is Sleeping Beauty's name Briar Rose?
In the traditional Italian version of this fairy tale, Sleeping Beauty is named Princess Aurora. In the German version, she is named Briar Rose. Princess Aurora's long, thin, willowy body shape was inspired by that of Audrey Hepburn.
The Princess was called Aurora by her parents (meaning dawn in Latin), the name was taken from the original Tchaikovsky ballet. The name Briar Rose came from the Brother's Grimm version of the story.
