They work very hard keeping things consistent, even if it's a small wardrobe detail. I can't see them with the attitude of, "Oh, it's going to be too hard to animate rubies on a moving crown. Let's just put them on when it's a static painting." If they found it too difficult to put rubies on, they wouldn't have put them on during the static shots, either, because it'd cause a fairly major continuity error. The theory of more detail doesn't really apply here. Every time we see Aurora realistically airbrushed, her features and wardrobe are still the same. The only added detail lies in the shading of those features, so I don't see them adding a new wardrobe detail just because the tiara's in a realistic close-up shot. If they could create Aurora's curls in motion (those must've been a nightmare to animate), they can certainly animate a few red dots on a moving tiara, especially considering the curls in Aurora's hair move more wildly than her tiara ever does.
Yes, but don't you think that because they sometimes have Aurora's eyes as black when they previously had other characters with more detailed eyes when far away, that they actually chose not to detail everything all the time? I wish I knew about the crown, but part of the other reason I don't think the jewels are part of the spell is since the green light disappears at the kiss, why couldn't they try to make the jewels disappear? And if they couldn't, why draw them up-close in the very next shot? They could just not have drawn them since the spell was over. Hvaing them supposed to be their for the spell, and then still there after the spell is broken is a continuity error, isn't it?
Unless of course, because the whole kingdom hasn't woken up yet, the jewels remain until the
whole spell is broken. But I don't accept that because the jewels appeared when the spell fell on Aurora, the kingdom wasn't asleep yet. An yet again, the kingdom seems to wake up on it's own when she awakes, even the green light disappears around the other castle residents after it disappeared on Aurora...what do you think?
I could suppose the idea is that the jewels will always be there now that she's lost her innocence, but they don't attempt any less detailed red dots as jewels whens sh's far away after that scene, so I still think it's about staying still and being close-up.
By the way, I read
here from Marc Davis on
Sleeping Beauty:
I enjoyed doing a lot of that film, but there were things that got away from us. There is one scene that still drives me crazy everytime I see it. It is after Maleficent had gotten Briar Rose to touch the spindle and then she pulled back her gown and says, "Here's your lovely princess," or whatever the line is, and Briar Rose is all airbrushed. It still really bothers me. I just think that it's out of keeping, and I don't understand why we did it? There are always things that you don't know all the time.
