Is The New Disney Movie Crossing The Line?

Sleeping Beauty anime film.

The prince approached the sleeping princess, who lay draped upon a velvet throne under a dais of brocade. He called out to her, but she seemed insensible, as if in a trance. As he contemplated her many charms, he suddenly felt his blood course hotly through his veins. The prince lifted her in his arms and carried her to a bed, whereon he gathered the first fruits of love while she slept on. When he was through, he left the princess, and returned to his own kingdom, where, in the pressing business of his realm, he thought no more of the incident.

The princess slept on for nine months, and when the nine months were up she gave birth to two beautiful infants, a boy and a girl. Throughout her pregnancy, the princess, whose name was Talia, had been attended by two fairies who now placed the infants at their sleeping mother's breasts. One of the children, unable to find the mother's nipples, sucked on Talia's finger, loosening the poison splinter that had lodged there when she pricked it on the forbidden spindle. The princess waked and christened the babies Sun and Moon. Some time later, the prince returned to claim Talia and the children.

There is only one problem. The prince is already married. His wife – an evil woman with cannibalistic tendencies – learns of her husband's infidelity and conspires to kill Talia and the infants. She invites the princess to her castle and secretly instructs the cook to slay the children, telling him to chop them up and serve them to her husband in a stew. But the cook cannot bring himself to do such a terrible deed. He hides the children and substitutes a lamb dish in their stead.

Convinced that the children have been disposed of, the wife turns her attention to Talia. While her husband is off on a journey, she orders her servants to build a bonfire in the castle courtyard and to throw Talia into the flames. Just as the heroine is about to be put to death, the prince returns to discover his wife's sinister plan. He is overjoyed to find Talia still alive and recues her from the flames, but is horrified to learn that he has unwittingly devoured his own children.

"Alas!" the heartbroken prince moaned. "Then I, myself, am the wolf of my own sweet lambs." He turned to his wicked wife and said, "Ah, thou renegade ***, what evil deed hast thou done? Begone, thou shall get thy just dessert." And thus saying, he commanded the wife to be thrust into the flames which had been prepared for Talia.

As the evil woman twisted in the fire, the cook told the stricken prince that his children were still alive. "They have been spared," the cook informed him, hurrying off to retrieve Sun and Moon from their hiding place. The two children rushed to their parents and clung to them in a joyful reunion. The prince took Talia to be his wife, and everyone lived happily ever after.
