Prince Richard and Princess Felicity are married and start a family in the palace, where they live happily ever after.Goodtimes was founded in 1979/1980 by Kenneth, Joseph and Stanley Cayre, often referred to and credited simply as the Cayre Brothers. Felicity awakens to the kiss of Prince Richard and the rest of the kingdom awakens from its long slumber as well. Prince Richard, with the help of Primrose's spirit, overcome the many obstacles, one being a giant living inside a bottomless pit that encircles the palace, to reach Felicity, the Sleeping Beauty, and put an end to Odelia's curse and her life. Throughout the hundred years, many princes and noble men try to break Odelia's spell, even after she places a massive forest of thorns surrounding the palace, but all are unsuccessful. Primrose then places a spell over the castle, putting the entire kingdom to sleep until Felicity awakens, an attempt that drains out all of her magic, becoming powerless and turning into a red rose. Primrose, the king and queen discover her and place her gently on a bed, where she is to sleep for the one hundred years of the curse. As Odelia's curse had said, Princess Felicity soon feels dizziness and falls to the ground unconscious. The old woman, who is really the wicked Odelia in disguise, hands Felicity the spindle and she accidentally pricks her index finger. The strange object causes Felicity to be curious and she begs to be allowed to try it. Behind a door in one of the castle towers, she hears a strange sound that calls her attention, and as she enters the room, she finds an old woman, spinning thread with the use of a spinning wheel. One week after her sixteenth birthday, Felicity, tired of spending her days by Primrose's side, wanders off to explore the castle on her own. Princess Felicity grows into a beautiful girl, ignorant about Odelia's curse. Though Primrose doubts her magic could defeat Odelia's, she decides that if she cannot remove the curse, she will be able to change it, and therefore declares that Princess Felicity will indeed prick her finger on a spindle, but instead she will fall into a sleep that will last one hundred years and a day, and be awakened by a true love's kiss and Odelia will be the one to die instead. Frightened by Odelia's curse, the king and queen beg Primrose to save their daughter with her gift. Just as Primrose, the youngest of the fairies, was about to give the child her gift, Odelia, the evil fairy, gives the child the gift of death: one week after Princess Felicity's sixteenth birthday, she is to prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die. Each of the fairies blessed the baby girl with special gifts of beauty, grace, and intelligence. All of the fairies from the kingdom were invited and asked to be godmothers for the Princess Felicity. When their wish finally came true with the birth of their daughter, they announced a grand celebration. In a faraway kingdom, the king and queen wanted a child of their own for a long time. ![]()
