## Behind the Scenes

### Disney Wiki Links

Aurora

**Princess Aurora** (also known as **Briar Rose**) is the titular character of Disney's 1959 animated feature film, *Sleeping Beauty.* Cursed at her christening by the evil fairy Maleficent, Aurora was raised a humble life in the woods, dreaming of one day finding her true love- who would eventually break her curse and restore her to her status.

She was released with the first wave of the Animators Collection, and has received multiple updates throughout the years. She is currently available for purchase in her fourth edition.

## Doll Description

Aurora's doll stands at 16 inches. (40.64cm)

### First Edition

Aurora's first edition was released in 2011 and given curled, richly golden hair that reaches to her waist, with a black headband. Her blue eyes look up and center, with a shy smile and slight blush to her face.

Her peasant dress has a white Peter Pan collar, with a light top under a black ribboned corset, with a purple skirt attached with white lace at its ends. Aurora also comes with a hot pink cloak, embroidered with flowers, as well as lacy socks and black Mary Jane shoes.

Aurora's companion is her owl friend, who is brown-and-white. He has squinting brown eyes and an interested expression, as well as a small tail.

### Second Edition

Released in 2013, Aurora's second edition differed wildly from her original; her hair was a darker shade of gold and reaching to her wrists, with a bit of a reddish tint, and her pupils were larger, seeming to convey a less shy feeling, along with her eyebrows now slanted downwards. She no longer has a headband.

Her dress now resembled her royal gown, in Flora's pink coloring, it has a white Peter Pan collar, and light pink puffy sleeves and center, as well as decoration atop her skirt. The rest of her dress is a hot pink, with tulips and leaves embroidered onto the bottom of her skirt with glitter. Her socks are much shorter, and her owl is gone.

### Third Edition

Released in 2014, Aurora's third edition was closer to her first, with her hair once again golden and tied back with a headband, though it now only reaches to her waist. Her bands were now centered on her face, rather than spread across her forehead.

The original peasant dress was back, though the sash was no longer embroidered and the socks remained short. Her owl had returned.

### Special Edition

Released in 2019 to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of *Sleeping Beauty,* Aurora's special edition imagines her "as a little girl raised in the opulence and splendor of King Stefan's castle." The anniversary Aurora's bangs curl inward and seem more tamed, while her hair reaches to her wrists. Her eyes look up to the right.

She wears a very fanciful pink gown, with a sharp white collar. The hot pink skirt puffs out, with white lace underneath it and transparent pink glittery fabric adorning the top, with teh same fabric used for her long sleeves. The dress is also centered with a light pink, and belted with a gold "chain" with a pink rose in the center. She wears hot pink Mary Jane shoes and a plastic golden crown, decorated with a hot pink gem in the center, bordered with silver diamonds.

### Fourth Edition

Released in 2021, the fourth edition of Aurora had lighter and slightly shorter hair, which did not fluff out as much and kept closer to her face. Her eyebrows were lowered, and she now looks up and to the right. Her peasant dress now has a part in the skirt revealing a lighter color, embroidered with roses, and her socks are more lacy.

Her owl's design has changed, now facing forwards and wearing Prince Phillip's coat and hat.
