Sleeping beauty gothic and medieval influence
What we now recognize as the Disney art style is a little more visible in these character concept sketches. Sleeping Beauty was also a little more artistically experimental and Maleficent, for example, came out of a lot of gothic, medieval influence.
And if you thought the vivid backgrounds looked unique as far as Disney movies go, that’s because they are. Legendary artist Eyvind Earle did the background art for the film, giving it the atmosphere of his gothic and medieval style.
