Despite Sleeping Beauty's loud, obnoxious snoring, desperate-for-rest Mouse believes one day a prince will awaken the princess with a kiss. Prince Max arrives to Beauty's off-putting "SNOOOOGA-SNOOOOOM"; the duo attempts varied spell-breaking tricks, but it's eventually Mouse who saves the day. Warm, silly watercolors picture the zany rhymed escapade that ends happily (with a double wedding).
