Little Thorn Rose, Part 1 (Dornröschen)

"Little Thorn Rose, Part 1 (Dornröschen)" is a silent puppet animation that brings to life the classic fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm. This adaptation tells the story of a princess who, due to a curse from a wicked fairy, pricks her finger on a spinning wheel's spindle and falls into a deep sleep that lasts for a hundred years. The film captures the magical elements of the tale, from the celebration of the princess's birth, where all but one fairy are invited, leading to the curse, to the moment the kingdom falls into slumber with the princess. Through the art of puppetry, the film explores themes of enchantment, destiny, and the battle between good and evil, all set in a visually enchanting world where every movement and expression of the puppets conveys the narrative's emotion and charm. This part sets the stage for the princess's awakening in the subsequent parts.
