• The 1959 animated film “Sleeping Beauty” was the final fairy tale produced by Walt Disney himself. It was the studio’s most ambitious film to date, a widescreen spectacle with a gorgeous Tchaikovsky score. Now the film has been fully restored using digital technology; it will be released Tuesday on a two-disc Platinum Edition DVD.
Recent box-office releases that are coming on disc Tuesday include:
• The Happening – Mark Wahlberg, Zooey Deschanel, John Leguizamo and Betty Buckley star in this deeply unsettling story in which an inexplicable event threatens the survival of humankind. It was directed by M. Night Shyamalan and is rated R.
• Paranoid Park – It’s a good week for getting scared. Gabe Nevins, Jake Miller, Taylor Momsen and Lauren McKinney are featured in director Gus Van Sant’s story of a skateboarder who accidentally kills a security guard and falls into a world of crime, guilt and fear. It, too, is rated R.
• The Visitor – Tom McCarthy directs Richard Jenkins, Hazz Sleiman and Hiam Abbas in a drama about a college professor and recent widower who discovers a pair of homeless illegal immigrants living in his New York apartment. After the mix-up is resolved, he invites them to stay with him, and a delightful friendship ensues. “The Visitor” is rated PG-13.
• You Don’t Mess With the Zohan – Adam Sandler stars as a Mossad agent who fakes his own death so he can move to New York and become a hairstylist. Rob Schneider, Henry Winkler, Mariah Carey and John Turturro make appearances in the comedy, rated PG-13.
