Wonder how Disney uses notions of the medieval to storytell? On this week's episode we discuss the modern medieval classic Sleeping Beauty (1959) with our very first guest and dear classmate, Geanina Beres. Throughout our conversation, we touch upon influential 'medieval' inspiration such as the 19th century Bavarian Neuschwanstein Castle or the 1950's modern design of illustrator Eyvind Earle.
