Sleeping Beauty is a classic fairy tale by Charles Perrault first published in 1697. Adaptations include a ballet by Tchaikovsky, the 1959 Disney animated film (which included the ballet's music), and a Faerie Tale Theatre episode.

Muppet Characters[]

  • Prince Charming looks for Sleeping Beauty on Sesame Street in Episode 0627, finding her sleeping in barrels near Big Bird's nest. After blowing her a kiss, she wakes up, annoyed that the prince had found her; She complains about a lack of sleep, due to Prince Charming always finding and kissing her awake.
  • Bert portrays Prince Charming in Episode 3777, who wakes up Sleeping Beauty, but then puts her to sleep again when he starts talking to her about his paper clips. Here, she was performed by Fran Brill.
  • Sleeping Beauty is one of the interview subjects for Prairie Dawn's "Fairy Tale Emergencies" report in Episode 4145, performed by Leslie Carrara-Rudolph.

  • Oscar the Grouch plays the prince in a bedtime story he reads for Irvine in Sesame Street Episode 1779. He must awaken Sleeping Grouchy (played by Grundgetta), but because he's a grouch, he keeps trying to find an alternative to kissing.
  • The Sesame Street Live show Sleeping Birdie, in which Big Bird is put under a sleeping spell, loosely parodies the fairy tale, with the characters reading the unfolding story from a storybook.
  • A portion of Tchaikovsky's score, "Grande valse villageoise" (The Garland Waltz), is quoted when Mr. Noodle swims through the air in Elmo's World: Water.
  • Oscar and Grundgetta again play the prince and Sleeping Grouchy in Episode 4143, in "The Tale of Sleeping Grouchy."
  • The Sesamstrasse spin-off Ernie & Bert Märchensongs adapted "Sleeping Beauty," with Ernie in the title role and Bert as the prince.
