Here's a lesser-known variation (in the US, at least) of the Sleeping Beauty story:
The German nursery song "Dornröschen war ein schönes Kind" ("Briar Rose was a beautiful child").
youtube
Children traditionally sing it while dancing in a circle, with a few individuals among them stepping into the center to act out the roles of the story characters.
In English it's sometimes sung as "There Was a Princess Long Ago." When I was in kindergarten, my class learned it that way.
The Wiggles have recorded the English version...
youtube
... as have some other children's music groups too. The very first time I heard it, even before kindergarten, was as a toddler in the early '90s, when Sharon, Lois & Bram sang it on The Elephant Show. Although their version rewrote the lyrics to be about Snow White instead of Sleeping Beauty.
Two different European film versions of Sleeping Beauty have made use of this song: Fritz Genschow's 1955 German film and Omnia Films' 1990 Czech/German version. They both show peasant children dancing and singing the song after the hundred years have gone by, illustrating how the story of the sleeping princess has passed into folklore in the outside world. A clever choice, I think.

Always lowkey simmering a Leverage AU in the back of my head hear me out:
Ted is an ex-insurance investigator who was able to get his son life-saving medical treatment because his first, original Crime Pal Beard was like ‘Ted if your company doesn’t come through with the coverage, we’re doing things my way.’
The company did not come through. The company did let him go due to suspicion of Ted’s involvement in the incident, but Ted will happily remind folks that no charges were formally pressed. Henry is alive and healthy and living with Michelle, who divorced Ted shortly thereafter (not just because of pre-existing marital problems, but because Ted wouldn’t tell her anything about why the doctors “””suddenly decided to do the procedure for free”””). Shortly thereafter, Ted fled the country.
What Ted learned from the whole experience is that there’s a lot of people out there, good people just trying to live by the rules, but sometimes things happen that are just out of their control. And well- if we’ve got the means to help the good people out when no one else will, then shouldn’t we try?
“We’ve got means,” Beard agrees. “And motives.”
They do things Beard’s way now.
#also Rebecca is a grifter who gave it up when she married into money and her name(s) echo mysteriously through the back alleys of London#“did you hear about this Secret Princess Lydia who went missing in the 90s?’ ‘yes Ted that was me’#the woman is constantly dodging every half-told lie she made on a lark twenty years ago but she is amazing at keeping them straight#and Roy- Roy long ago took an injury that ended his career as a footballer before it started#and he fell into a bad spot as a hitter#and then he fell into a worse spot#and then he dug himself out for his neice that no one knows about (see: everyone knows about think mafia kid no one is allowed to touch her)#the problem now is he’s getting old#the hits hit harder and his speed isn’t what it used to be#(Roy Kent’s slow is still leagues beyond what these young wannabe punks can do these days)#keeley! she is a sneak thief. very charming. tiny. great with repelling down sides of buildings#loves money and shiny rocks and thinks Rebecca is the bee’s knees#and then there’s Jamie who is a 24 year old hacker with gaudy taste no knack for accents and a problem with authority#in this au him and ted have basically split Nate’s backstory#Ted’s dad took him to bars and taught him little tricks and mind games- nothing fancy just stuff an HR person might know#meanwhile Jamie’s dad took him to shady deals in bars because his dad was a fixer who’d put bad guys in touch with each other#jamie keeps a tracker running on his laptop with his dad’s whereabouts at all times#unfortunately he didn’t think that anyone else would bother looking for him- he’s not exactly a big time crook#but Ted and his crew have pissed off Rupert Mannion who is big time and who wants to hit back at Rebecca for making a fool of him#and Mannion’s people have identified that the way in to breaking their little crew is through Jamie#who’s name sounds so ridiculous people have assumed it was fake this whole time#anyways#thanks for reading#I will likely never write this but boy I have ideas 💡#leverage au#ted lasso#jamie tartt#roy kent#keeley jones#rebecca welton

I don’t know if anyone’s made this comparison before, but it certainly appears that a lot of Prince Naveen’s swagger, mannerisms and musical prowess seems to be inspired by Jose Carioca of “The Three Caballeros.” ^_^ Something of an added note/comparison too is that Naveen’s voice actor, Bruno Campos, is from Rio de Janeiro, same as Jose and “Carioca” is a term used to call someone from there. ;)
@enbydemirainbowbigfoot Thought you might like to see this since it has Jose on it. ;)
