| Place of origin |
Walt Disney Productions licensed many of its cartoon characters for games and puzzles. This game is based on the full-length 1959 cartoon film of Sleeping Beauty. The players are the princes who set out to awaken Sleeping Beauty. The game ends in the Tower Room. As it is necessary to enter some of the compartments with exact scores, the spinner features some numbers twice, as well as a Good Fairy and a Wicked Fairy. At one point, to enhance the thrill of the game, two paths are offered, one short and dangerous and the other long but safe.
