What songs are played in the Disney movie "Sleeping Beauty"?

The Disney animated film "Sleeping Beauty," released in 1959, tells the story of Princess Aurora, one of the Disney princesses.

It took six years to produce and was created by 300 animators who drew one million cels, making it one of the most lavish productions in Disney history.

The princess, named Aurora—which means "dawn's light"—was born in a European country. While the entire kingdom celebrates her birth with a festive party,

she is cursed by the angry witch Maleficent, who was not invited to Aurora's birthday party, to "prick her finger on a spinning wheel and die before sunset on her sixteenth birthday." However,

with the help of the fairies and a kiss from her destined partner, Prince Philip, she awakens from her eternal slumber...
