Discover Walt Disney’s Fairytale Home and its Connection to Sleeping Beauty

The Oh My Disney put out a blog in connection with the release of the Sleeping Beauty Diamond Edition! The remastered version of one of the most beloved Disney movies of all time now available on Blu-ray and Digital HD.  In a earlier blog today, we told you about some of the bonus features on the media, but there is also some never-before-seen deleted scenes from the film, along with many different bonus features.  Now the Oh My Disney did talk about some of the bonus features and I will put in what they said at the bottom of this blog.  I first wanted to show the pictures of Walt’s home that he had built, per his instructions, in a fairy tale style.  The home provided much inspiration for Sleeping Beauty.  Walt had the house built in 1932, and it’s pretty amazing.
