1. The movie Sleeping Beauty is similar to A Midsummer Night's Dream. This is because in the movie, the fairies make everyone in the castle fall asleep until the princess waskes up. When they finally do wake up, everyone thinks that everything that had previously happened was just a dream. In A Midsummer Night's Dream, when Titania wakes up, she believes she had a frightful dream in which she loved an ass, and immediately takes to Oberon in a way that the reader and audience never saw of her do earlier in the play.
2. The song "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" is significant to A Midsummer Night's Dream. This is because this song is used to congratulate someone for something they have done. Once Bottom returns, the rude mechanicals that he is acting alongside are overjoyed to see him, for the time they previusly saw him, he had the head of an ass, so they probably assumed that a beast overtook him, but he conquered it.
Fascinatingly confident, rude people are great. See the link below for more info.

Brilliant. I see the comparison of Aurora and Titania--and the reoccurring theme of sleeping and dreaming in both stories.
