Referenced in

    • "The Magical World of Disney" Tricks of Our Trade (TV Episode 1957)

      Walt Disney references the title when he mentions Helene Stanley's work on the production

      title and characters seen on book cover
    • "Matty's Funnies with Beany and Cecil" Thumb Fun/Living Doll/Beanyland (TV Episode 1962)

      The Sleeping Beauty castle in Disneyland is parodied as the Slipping Beauty Castle.
    • Little Prince and the Eight Headed Dragon (1963)

      Orochi's depiction draws a lot from dragon Maleficent and the battlefield in which he is fought is a forest of thorns.
    • The Tomb of Ligeia (1964)

      The scene where Rowena shatters the mirror revealing the staircase to the secret room and cuts her finger on the glass is uncannily similar to the scene in Disney's Sleeping Beauty (5 years earlier) in which Briar Rose pricks her finger on the spinning wheel and the staircase appears inside the fireplace.

    • Gulliver's Travels (1939)

      When King Bombo ignore King Little's Dance when he tries to get off of him
    • The Bowling Alley-Cat (Short 1942)

      When Jerry is "skating" in the alley, the music played is from Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty Waltz, which would later become the basis for "Once Upon A Dream" from Disney film several years later
    • Cinderella (1950)

      Possible coincidence, but maybe not: Sleeping Beauty's three fairies' costumes bear a strong resemblance to those of the three most prominent female mice in Cinderella's team. Also Verna Felton voices a good fairy in both movies.
