King Stefan

King Stefan is one of the minor characters in the 1959 Disney animated film, Sleeping Beauty. The ruler of his kingdom in France, he is Princess Aurora's debonair father and Queen Leah's soft spoken husband.
== Why He Was a Decent and Loving Father? ==
# He has a great character design.
# He is a loving father of Aurora and a debonair husband to Queen Leah.
# His scene with King Hubert, though not perfectly done, is hilarious.
# Hans Conried and Corey Burton both did amazing as Stefan.
# While not a great casting choice, Taylor Holmes still did good as the singing voice for Stefan for the Skumps song.
# Despite not having enough involvement in the original film, he still cares for the safety of Aurora by letting her live with the fairies.
# He and King Hubert are decent and entertaining comic reliefs for Sleeping Beauty, despite being minor characters.
# His reunification with Aurora is heartwarming.
== Bad Qualities ==
# He is somewhat a hypocrite, as he initially opposed Aurora marrying Phillip immediately, even if he understood that he didn't see her and wanted them to "wait until they get better acquainted".
# He was badly flanderized in Maleficent, where he became a ruthless and authoritative tyrant who acted like a horrible and neglectful father/husband to Aurora and Leah.
