That's the sad fact really! "Barbie as The Sleeping Beaty" was cancelled because the Walt Disney Company filed a trademark application on March 13, 2007, for the name "Princess Aurora" that would cover all live-action and recorded movie, television, radio, stage, computer, internet, news, and photographic entertainment uses, except literature works of fiction and nonfiction. The trademark was granted back on January 17, 2012. Mattel Entertainment was supposed to adapt Tchaikovsky's "The Sleeping Beauty" Ballet (the third of the three ballets he created) into a Barbie film, after the success of "Barbie in The Nutcracker" in 2001, and "Barbie of Swan Lake" in 2003. Since Walt Disney owned the rights for the trademark, Mattel has completely abandoned the film's production, and everything was shelved. It would have been the sixteenth Barbie feature film, and the third to be based on a Grimm's fairy tale. It was originally scheduled to be released during the fall of 2008, but was pushed back to 2009 (probably after the release of Thumbelina and The Three Musketeers). Later, it was announced that "Barbie and The Three Musketeers" would be released in Fall 2009 instead, with no new release date or extra information announced for Barbie as the Sleeping Beauty. Mattel is currently quiet about this to avoid the trademark controversy.

However, this is not the first time for Mattel Company to cancel a Barbie film. It also happened back in 1987 during "Barbie and The Rockers" when this miniseries was supposed to have been the pilot for a Monday-Friday Barbie cartoon series. Unfortunately, negotiations between DIC Entertainment and Mattel fell through, and the project eventually emerged with a whole new set of characters - and the sponsorship of Mattel rival Hasbro - as "Maxie's World" in 1988. Also, back on 1995 when Barbie was supposed to appear in the first Toy Story movie as Woody's girlfriend, but she was replaced with Bo Peep. This is because Mattel did not want Barbie to be given a personality, because, to make Barbie dolls unique to every purchaser, the purchaser was supposed to think of their own personality for Barbie.
