message: I saw that my edit suggesting her survival has been reverted. Why is it not valid? Maleficent has shown herself to be more competent (if not more powerful) than Pete, and there is no doubt that she survived.198.137.26.152 16:31, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

She turns into a glowing orb of green energy when she leads Aurora through the castle's secret corridors to the spinning wheel.  While this isn't explicitly stated to be a will o the wisp, it basically is one.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.81.97.140 (talk) 05:33, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Why is Maleficent listed under these categories ( Fictional bats | Fictional porcupines | Fictional bears | Fictional beetles | Fictional mountain lions | Fictional tigers | Fictional wolves)?! I don't even recall her even turning into a bat or a porcupine, or a bear, or a beetle, or a mountain lion, or a tiger, or even a wolf in any media that she has appeared in that i saw/researched (by any media, i mean the sleeping beauty series and the kingdom hearts series). the only animal that she ever transformed into that I recall is the Dragon. so can someone explain why she is listed under these? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.32.238.124 (talk • contribs).
Uh, because some dumbass wants to act like a fucking idiot who deserves to get his throaght slit. I'll change it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.115.34.186 (talk • contribs).

replies: text: Nowhere has it been shown she is a shapeshifter. Turning into a dragon through magic can be considered as such maybe, but that is the only creature we see her change in, so I dont consider her a general shapeshifter. Further, being a shapeshifter doesn't mean she should be listed under every possible fictional creature. - Redmess (talk) 14:55, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  What The!?... 

message: I know it's not a major thing, but could someone with the Sleeping Beauty DVD get a better screenshot of Maleficent and Diablo? The current one is so dark that it's hard to see either of them, and there are many other better shots in the film (such as her first appearance at the beginning) which would make for a more impressive picture. - LainEverliving LainEverloving 05:47, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  What happened to the goons? 

message: I almost changed this, but then figured I ought to get some input: she's currently described as 'pale skinned', which isn't entirely false, but she's really a pale green, as opposed to pale but flesh coloured, like all the other human/fairy characters in the film. I propose changing the current descriptor to 'pale green-skinned' - anyone object? 210.11.130.234 (talk) 03:20, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There is one website that claims she was supposed to be dead-white, but came out pale green by accident. I don't know how this was possible. I'm more interested has to how her voice echoes in scenes where the other characters don't. Did Eleanor Audley record her dialog in a zeppelin hanger?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.254.246.253 (talk) 17:13, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Anyone watched both Sleeping Beauty and Wizard of Oz within a short period of time?  Probably not, unless you have kids...or love of classic movies.
There are descriptive words/phrases used by both characters for similar situations.  The green skin is obvious.  Check out the hands for both.  The general facial features/structure for both are also similar.  Even the use of a "crystal ball" type globe on her staff to give the prince a view of his future as he is imprisoned, as the witch did of Dorthy.
In fact, I had myself questioning which came first...briefly, of course.  Is there any background history on what inspired the animator to design Maleficent as he did?  And the lines Maleficent speaks...?
Considering Oz was released 20 years prior to Sleeping Beauty, there is little doubt of the influence.  Is it documented?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lizlvsinfo (talk • contribs) 17:13, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Improper article 

message: Under Powers and Abilities, the article reads "Maleficent is an evil fairy (though she is often mistaken for a witch)," but in the very next paragraph (in the Development section), the article reads "The character was animated by Marc Davis . The wicked witch was aptly named "Maleficent" (which means "Evil-doer")." and continues to refer to her as a witch. So which (hah) is it? Fairy or witch?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.142.201.254 (talk) 21:14, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Conflicting accounts of what type of "being" she is 

message: "Maleficent appears in the new version of the show Disneyland Adventure (replacing The Incredibles villain Syndrome). When she terrorizes the resort, she puts the entire kingdom to sleep, and puts Minnie Mouse and Donald Duck into Sleeping Beauty Syndrome. She later took over It's a Small World and Pirates of the Caribbean, but The Incredibles managed to defeat her, though she vowed for revenge." what the heck is this?

message: The mistress of the animals (and the woods) should not be violated and mutilated, since only she is capable of loving all creatures with UNCONDITIONED LOVE, including loving humans (domesticated-civilized „little beasties“).
Philipp can only love what he „knows and what he can trust“, hence he fails to awaken the girl.
No wonder that all fairy queens, magicians and shamans have died out in „our“ world of iron cages (buildings, cars, electric current wires, mobile phones, …), iron wings (drones), and iron coins (money)…
By the way: there is also some „master of the animals“, but even he has died out in „our“ iron(ic) world as well…  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:1205:500D:44E0:1CC9:C2EE:F70E:1757 (talk) 10:10, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Originally this article had the non-free image :File:Maleficent disney.png in the infobox, and :File:Malefica.jpg in the body. I was concerned that these were redundant with respect to the "minimal usage" criterion at WP:NFCC, so I moved :File:Malefica.jpg to the infobox and WP:PROD'd the other one.  made an edit to put :File:Maleficent disney.png back in the infobox, but not restoring the other image, with reason: "if only file is used it should be the png file consistent with other animated character's article and not a screenshot". I'm wondering if you could elaborate on why you think the png is better. To my mind, :File:Malefica.jpg is a better visual representation as it shows the character as she looked in her original and most prominent appearance (Sleeping Beauty (1959 film)). I'm not able to determine the actual source of the other image, but it appears to be a much more recent, stylized depiction of the character. It has some weird gradient effects, and the colors and proportions of the face are pretty different, compared to her appearance in Sleeping Beauty. Colin M (talk) 16:55, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

message: I added Maleficent's spouse and child from Once Upon a Time, only for them to be removed by a random IP address. If Maleficent's spouse and child from Descendants are listed, it's only fair for Maleficent's spouse and child from OUAT to be listed as well. I don't know who did the edit, but as Wikipedia won't let me reverse it, I'm going to have to manually edit it in a second time. Obversa (talk) 16:10, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
