Aurora | Disney Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Official descriptions Disney Princess Aurora is gentle and loving, and is raised by three fairies named Flora, Fauna and Merryweather . She lives in the forest, where she meets the Prince, her one true love. Maleficent Princess Aurora is a curious and thoughtful child who develops a bond with nature that rivals only Maleficent’s. But as she grows, Aurora is caught in the middle of the seething conflict between the forest kingdom she has grown to love and the human kingdom that holds her legacy. Development The original design for Aurora has developed by Tom Oreb, who based figure of Aurora on Audrey Hepburn's thin frame and graceful demeanor. Later, Marc Davis worked on sketches of Oreb, improving the appearance and clothing of the heroine so that they were combined with angular forms of background images. Marc Davis' wife, Alice, designed some of Aurora's costumes. [2] According to the designer, this was her first job at the Walt Disney Studios, during which she became Marc's wife in 1956 . As with other Disney films, an actress was hired as a live-action model, as a guide for the animators.

Helene Stanley became the model for the heroine. [3] She had previously worked on this post, fulfilling the role of Cinderella . Personality Aurora is kind, elegant, and sophisticated, as well as a hopeless romantic. At first, she is seen as a slightly naive and carefree young woman as a result of being sheltered for most of her life. Aurora is very loyal to her "aunts" and usually obeys their rules respectfully, although she may disagree with them. Since she was raised not to talk to strangers, Aurora was naturally startled and apprehensive when the handsome Prince Phillip appeared in the forest. However, she was drawn to him before remembering her aunts' rule about not talking to strangers. Aurora then compromised in agreeing to talk to him by arranging to meet him at her cottage, under the supervision of her aunts. In later media, she is shown to have matured and become more self-assured, proactive, independent and confident in her opinions and abilities. Though it can arguably be said that as a character, she is very difficult to pin down, due to her short appearance in the movie, at least awake, that is.

Physical appearance Aurora is a young woman, magically blessed with wavy waist-length golden hair like sunshine, violet eyes, a tall and slender figure, and lips that shame the red rose. Her complexion is fair and flawless, and unlike Snow White or Cinderella, her face is less rounded and more refined, giving her an appearance of maturity rather than youth despite being only sixteen. As a peasant, she wears a gray calf-length half-circle skirt with a funny-looking white petticoat, a black bodice over a light gray blouse with long sleeves and goes barefoot. She also has a black headband and carries a purple shawl. As her princess self, she wears a pink or blue ball gown with a petal overskirt, a neatly-laced white petticoat, and long triangular sleeves. During the original film, Aurora's gown is blue as seen when Flora and Merryweather fight for the colors of her gown either in pink or blue even at the end of the film where Aurora dances with Prince Phillip in a ballroom dance. But in later appearances and merchandise, Aurora's gown is depicted as pink.

Abilities In Disney Princess Enchanted Tales: Follow Your Dreams , Aurora was given a magic wand from Merryweather to use, and Aurora was able to wield its magical powers such as making two stacks of papers pick themselves up, transforming her nightgown into a ballgown with a dazzling necklace, matching earrings, and a jeweled tiara. She summoned chickens and cows and temporarily turned a man into a duck. Later in the story, Aurora fixed her problems and gave away the cows to peasants. At the end of the story, she returned the wand to Merryweather. In the original film, despite Aurora having been enchanted by Maleficent, a powerful sorceress, Aurora's willpower combined with shouts from the fairies temporarily gave her the strength to regain control of herself for a few seconds. Appearances Sleeping Beauty Aurora's parents named her after the Roman goddess of the dawn because she filled their lives with the sunshine. Soon after she was born, she was presented to the kingdom at a christening, where she was betrothed to Prince Phillip , the son of King Stefan's good friend King Hubert . Also invited were the three good fairies, Flora, Fauna and Merryweather , who bestow blessings on the newborn princess.

Flora and Fauna give the infant princess the gifts of beauty and song, respectively. However, before Merryweather has the opportunity to give her gift, the evil fairy Maleficent arrives. Angered because she wasn't invited to the ceremony, Maleficent puts a curse on baby Aurora. According to Maleficent, before the sun sets on Aurora's sixteenth birthday, she shall prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die. Maleficent disappears, leaving everyone in shock and horrified. Merryweather, though unable to lift the curse, could soften it. Instead of death, she would remedy the situation by placing Aurora into an enchanted sleep, only to be awakened by true love's kiss if this was to happen. Aurora as Briar Rose. Still fearful for the princess' safety, the three good fairies agree to hide the princess as a peasant for 16 years, until the danger has passed. They take the baby to a cottage in the forest and raise her, disguising themselves as her mortal aunts and renaming her Briar Rose. On Aurora's sixteenth birthday, her "aunts" send her out into the forest, so that they can prepare her birthday party in secret.

While Aurora was out, she dreams of meeting a handsome prince, while singing " Once Upon a Dream ". At first, she was singing with her forest friends. But she soon meets Prince Phillip, who had followed her melodic voice. Not knowing who Phillip was, or of their betrothal, she believes him to be a stranger and attempts to leave. However, she dances with him for a bit and ends up falling in love. When he asked for her name, she then left, realizing she wasn't allowed to give her name to strangers. She does, however, tell him where she lives and asks him to meet her there that night. At home, Briar Rose comes home to a splendid birthday party. She tells her aunts about the young man that she met but was confused when they are not happy for her. Flora, Fauna and Merryweather reveal Briar Rose's true identity as Princess Aurora, as well as the fact that she was betrothed. The fairies sadly explain that she can never see the young man again, not knowing that he was actually her betrothed. Heartbroken, Aurora breaks into tears as she heads upstairs to weep on her bed.

The fairies bring the upset Aurora back to her father's castle and take her to a room where they conjure a crown and place it on her head to help her realize her royal identity. However, a heartbroken Aurora begins to cry and the fairies decide to leave her alone to grieve. While they are gone, Maleficent enchants the princess and leads her up an abandoned tower staircase. At the top floor of the empty room, Maleficent conjures a spinning wheel. The fairies realize the danger and frantically run up the stairs to stop Aurora, but before they can, Maleficent forces the girl to prick her finger, invoking the curse. The fairies arrive, but run into Maleficent, who mocks their efforts to stop her, reveals the fallen princess, who has been cursed, and vanishes. Aurora awakens. The fairies place Aurora, now in an enchanted slumber, upon a bed at the top of the highest tower. While putting everyone else in the castle to sleep, the fairies discover that Phillip had been the man that Aurora met after overhearing King Hubert speak of the prince meeting a peasant girl.

So the fairies go to the cottage to get Phillip, but are prompted to go to Forbidden Mountain , Maleficent's domain, after discovering that Maleficent has captured the prince. They rescue Phillip from the dungeon and arm him with the Sword of Truth and the Shield of Virtue , then have to fend off Maleficent's minions and finally exit the Forbidden Mountain and head for Stefan's castle, but Maleficent conjures a forest of thorns to prevent further entrance which was hacked through by Phillip's sword. Angered at this, Maleficent suddenly appears in their way and transforms into a dragon. After defeating the dragon with help from the fairies, Phillip enters the castle and walks up the staircase to the tower room where Aurora was still sleeping. He gives her a kiss, true love's kiss, which finally awakens Aurora and breaks the curse. Aurora smiles after she realizes that her betrothed and her love are the same people. The pair goes down to meet Aurora's parents and Phillip's father, and Aurora kisses King Hubert on his cheek before sharing a dance with Phillip.

While the couple dance, Flora and Merryweather reignite their rivalry on their respective colors as the two bickering fairies relentlessly change the color on her dress with their magic. Aurora's dress keeps changing colors as she and Phillip continue dancing and share another kiss, with the final words in the book, below the illustration of the couple romantically kissing (and the color of Aurora's dress still changing from blue to pink) "and they lived happily ever after".

Aurora discovers Captain Hook beneath a pile of bodies, and Hook attempts to deceive the four of them by stating he survived Cora 's attack on the camp by hiding under some dead bodies. Emma is not buying his story and pulls a knife on Hook's throat, stating that she wants the truth and she can tell when a person is lying.

He states that he was working with Cora, but will now join forces with Emma and her team. He leads them to a giant beanstalk stretching up into the sky, Aurora lagging behind, stating that there is a magical compass at the top, but first they must deal with the giant.

Differences from the source material Princess Aurora is based on the fairy tale "La Belle Au Bois Dormant" by Charles Perrault , but there are many differences: The princess is apparently never named in the original fairy tale. Seven fairies found in the realm are invited to be the princess' godmothers at the christening and bestow their gifts at the banquet back at the castle. The uninvited eighth fairy (who was long supposed to be dead or enchanted) declares that the princess will prick her hand on a spindle and die from it. The seventh fairy undoes the result of her aged kinswoman's gift that the princess will fall into a profound slumber that will last a hundred years and be awoken by a king's son. Nevertheless, the king forbids, on pain of death, that spindles and spinning wheels be kept in the house. It is one day after the 15th or 16th years that the princess pricks her hand from the spindle. It is on the floor of the tower that the princess swoons onto after taking hold of the old serving woman's spindle and is later placed upon a gold and silver embroidered bed in the castle's finest apartment.

The seventh fairy is summoned and casts a spell of sleep over the castle, except the king and queen who sadly depart. Her magic also brings forth a forest of trees big and small with interlacing brambles and thorns that shield the castle (the towers are still seen but from a distance) and to safeguard the princess. After a hundred years, a king's son who was from another family awakens the sleeping princess (though he only kneels by her side). The castle awakens and the prince and princess are married in the castle chapel. After being secretly married, the princess bore two children: a girl, L'Aurore (Dawn in English; Aurora in Latin) and a boy, Le Jour (Day). The prince had a mother who hated the princess. The mother was an ogress who loved to eat small children. She sent the young Queen and the children to a house secluded in the woods and directed her cook to cook the three of them. The cook was humane and told the mother that a goat was the young girl, a sheep was the young boy. After finding out that the cook had lied and the princess and her children were safe, the ogress prepared a tub to cook them in.

After the prince caught his mother, she threw herself into the tub and was fully consumed, and everyone else lived happily ever after.

Out of all Disney Princesses, she has least screen time, 18 minutes to be exact. During those 18 minutes, she said only 18 lines. So technically, this makes the Fairies the protagonists instead of her. Coincidentally, Tiana has the second least screen time as a human (19 minutes). Her film did not originally do well at the box office nor was it ever re-released in Walt Disney 's lifetime. Sleeping Beauty was also the last Princess film made in Disney's lifetime, and the fairy tale genre was not returned to until The Little Mermaid in 1989 . However, the film developed a loyal following in later years and Aurora has gained much popularity when the Disney Princess franchise was created.

All the Princesses' films so far were commercially successful during their initial releases, except for Aurora's, thus making her film the only one to be a commercial failure during its initial release. Aurora would, however, later on, appear in the highly successful live-action blockbuster film Maleficent . Aurora is also the last "traditional" Disney Princess; as these princesses in that era are more reactive. After that, the later Princesses are more "contemporary" and proactive, starting with Ariel in 1989. In the sequel books, she has a palomino horse named Mirette. Aurora's alias is Briar Rose, which is also the title of the Brothers Grimm version of the tale. The Brothers Grimm version of Sleeping Beauty is based on the 1634 story by Giambattista Basile called Sun, Moon, and Talia. The name Aurora is the daughter's name of the Sleeping Beauty in the version of Charles Perrault and is the name for the titular character in the ballet. Aurora is the first Disney Princess to have an official alias.

Aurora is the first Disney Princess to have both parents present during her film, followed by Mulan , Tiana , Rapunzel and Merida . But Tiana's father later died in the war. Aurora is one of the eight Disney Princesses to be royal by birth, second after Snow White . Aurora remained silent in the second half of the film she originated in, even after being awoken with the kiss. She is second only to Dumbo (who didn't speak at all) to have less dialogue throughout the movie. Aurora's dress is constantly changed from blue to pink and back again as a running gag during her film. The constant color change is due to Flora and Merryweather's disagreement on what the color should be. Her real name, Aurora, which is mentioned few times in the film, is often unused or even unknown by some fans; by them, she is only called Sleeping Beauty. This is notable in the House of Mouse episode " Jiminy Cricket ", Jiminy Cricket addressed Aurora with "Sleeping" and "Beauty" as her first and last names respectively, reflecting on this.

The final scene of Sleeping Beauty with her and Prince Phillip dancing and going off into the clouds was an abandoned concept from both Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Cinderella . In the ballet, her father is named King Florestan the XXIVth, the Prince is named Désiré or Florimund and the evil fairy is called Carabosse. There are five fairies named Candide (Candor), Coulante, Fleur de farine (Flowing, Wheat flour), Miettes qui tombent (Falling breadcrumbs), Canari qui chante (Singing canary), and Violente (Force). The Lilac Fairy is the final and sixth good fairy and is considered the most powerful. Aurora's original voice actress, Mary Costa, is the only actress alive of the first three Princesses. Both Adriana Caselotti and Ilene Woods passed away. Strangely, in Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, Aurora's bed vanishes, as does Aurora herself when completing Terra's and Ventus's scenarios in her world, when she should be asleep in her bed.

Though more than likely for the story of the world, it means that Aurora is awake due to Aqua helping Prince Phillip rescuing her. Coincidentally, Kate Higgins, the latest voice actor for Aurora, also voices Briar Beauty, the daughter of Sleeping Beauty in the Mattel webisode series Ever After High . Unlike most Princesses, her appearance is given more as that of a mature woman, rather than a 16-year old teenage girl. External links An Attempt To Stop The Disney Machine | Deadline An Attempt To Stop The Disney Machine Studios I’m told that the Walt Disney Co is currently attempting to trademark the character name “Princess Aurora” for all media: stage, sound, film, TV, video, Internet, photographs, news. In short, everything except literature. The name comes from the 1697 Charles Perrault fairy tale and Aurora is the Princess’s daughter (and thus a princess herself). The first use of “Princess Aurora” was in the 1890 Tchaikovsky ballet “The Sleeping Beauty,” which Disney turned into the 1959 animated film. It has been used continuously since then in the ballet as the title character’s name.

The problem is that, if the Disney Company is successful, it will effectively control the legal right to all future performances of the ballet. The move also could sink any movie about the ballet or that uses a scene of the ballet in another movie. “This would be like a film studio trademarking the character name “Ebenezer Scrooge” for all media (no one has) and then no one could perform “A Christmas Carol” on a stage, TV, in a film, radio, etc without first securing the right to use the name from the trademark owner,” a critic emails me. Not surprisingly, Disney is also seeking to trademark “Princess Aurora” for products. Therefore, a campaign has emerged to complain to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office if people feel this trademarking of a pre-existing character name should not be allowed.

'Sleeping Beauty': 25 Things You Didn't Know About the Disney Classic | Moviefone 'Sleeping Beauty': 25 Things You Didn't Know About the Disney Classic by Gary Susman Disney / Everett Collection With anticipation building for Angelina Jolie 's "Maleficent," due May 30, it's worth noting that the source of her live-action remake, Disney's animated " Sleeping Beauty ," marks its 55th anniversary this week. Released on January 29, 1959, the movie was only a modest hit at the time, but over the years, it earned acclaim for its gorgeous wide-screen visuals, its memorable music, and its unforgettable villainess. It's a movie you probably watched many times as a child, and yet there are still some things you probably don't know about "Sleeping Beauty," including its connections to Bugs Bunny, "The Andy Griffith Show," and the British royal family. Here's a list of 25 such items you can stack on your spindle -- but be careful to shield your fingertip. 1. "Sleeping Beauty" is adapted from both the Charles Perrault and Brothers Grimm versions of the classic fairy tale.

In Perrault, the princess's name is Aurora; in Grimm, it's Briar Rose. In the movie, she's born Aurora but takes on Briar Rose as an alias during the years she spends hiding out from Maleficent. 2. Aurora's true love, Prince Philip, took his name from the British prince of the same name, husband of Queen Elizabeth II, then still new to the throne. 3. Much of the musical score is adapted from Tchaikovsky's "Sleeping Beauty" ballet. But George Bruns, who arranged the music, took much of the credit for the score. 4. In 1953, Legendary Warner Bros. animator Chuck Jones worked on "Sleeping Beauty" for four months, at a time when the Warners animation shop was shut down. He did not receive a credit on the film. 5. "Sleeping Beauty" was the first animated feature to be filmed in the wide-screen 70MM Technirama format. 6. It was also the last Disney cartoon feature to use hand-inked cels (the foreground transparencies on which the characters are painted). 7.

Walt Disney wanted to make sure the film wasn't just a retread of " Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs ," but there are a lot of plot similarities: an evil witch jealous of a young and beautiful princess, the princess hiding out in a woodland cottage with a group of comic-relief caretakers (three fairies instead of seven dwarfs), and the witch putting the princess into a deathlike sleep, from which only true love's kiss can awaken her. 8. Production designer Eyvind Earle, the person most responsible for the film's look, took great pains to make the movie look different from "Snow White" and other previous Disney cartoons. To that end, he created a medieval landscape of tall, meticulously detailed castles, square trees, and other stylized backgrounds with distorted perspectives. The animators (and some critics) found the look cold and incompatible with the characters, but other critics praised the design's elaborate and intricate detail and ominous atmosphere. 9. Mary Costa effectively began her operatic career with the role of Aurora / Briar Rose. She landed the part at 22, after a 1952 audition; it would be years before the animators completed the footage to match her recorded vocals. 10.

Bill Shirley was near the end of his film career when he played Prince Philip. It was his last credited movie role, though he went on to do uncredited singing vocals in 1964's " My Fair Lady ." 11. Eleanor Audley, who had played the evil stepmother in Disney's " Cinderella ," was offered the role of wicked witch Maleficent. Disney lore has it that she initially turned down the role because she was battling tuberculosis at the time and couldn't summon the vocal chops required for the role. Of course, she did take the role eventually and made Maleficent one of Disney's most memorable malefactors. 12. Verna Felton , whose Disney voice roles had included Dumbo 's mother, the Fairy Godmother in "Cinderella," the Queen of Hearts in "Alice in Wonderland," and Aunt Sarah in "Lady in the Tramp," voiced both the fairy Flora and Queen Leah, Aurora's mother. 13. Barbara Luddy, who had starred as Lady in " Lady and the Tramp ," voiced the fairy Merryweather. Another Barbara, Barbara Jo Allen , voiced the role of fairy Fauna. 14.

The cookies that the good fairies bake are shaped like Mickey Mouse's head. 15. Aurora speaks less than any lead character in a Disney cartoon feature except the silent Dumbo. She has only about 18 lines of dialogue and doesn't speak even after she's awakened from her magical slumber. 16. The animators used live-action models to draw the characters and their movements. An actress named Helene Stanley danced as the princess. Modeling Prince Philip was Ed Kemmer, who had played Commander Buzz Corey on TV's "Space Patrol." Audley modeled Maleficent herself, and production photos show how closely the character's facial expressions match Audley's own features. One of the actresses who modeled the good fairies was Frances Bavier , the future Aunt Bee on "The Andy Griffith Show." 17. The movie took seven years to make, the longest production schedule for any Disney animated feature until 1985's " The Black Cauldron ," which was also shot in 70MM Technirama. 18.

One possible reason it took so long to finish the movie: Walt Disney preferred to sign off on every creative decision, but for the first time in his company's history, he also had the construction of his first theme park and his three weekly TV shows to oversee. Plus, "Sleeping Beauty" animators were often called upon to do design work for the park and the TV episodes. "The top priorities were Disneyland and the television shows," Earle recalled, years later. "Then, whenever you could, back to 'Sleeping Beauty.'" 19. "Sleeping Beauty" cost $6 million to produce, making it the most expensive cartoon Disney had yet made. 20. The movie's initial release was a hit, but it wasn't a big enough hit to earn back its cost. In fact, losses from "Sleeping Beauty" caused the Disney company to post a loss for the first time since the 1940s. 21. Re-releases, however, have made it the second most lucrative 1959 film, after "Ben-Hur." Over the years, it earned $51 million in North American theaters.

Adjusted for inflation, that's about $607 million, making it the 31st biggest domestic box office hit ever. 22. The film earned only one Oscar nomination, for Bruns's Tchaikovsky-based instrumental score. 23. Audley went on to enjoy prominent recurring guest roles as a TV actress, playing Oliver's mother on "Green Acres" and Jethro's school headmistress on "The Beverly Hillbillies." 24. "Sleeping Beauty" was Disney's last cartoon based on a fairy tale for 30 years, until 1989's " The Little Mermaid ." 25. 2013's "Frozen" is the first Disney fairy tale movie since "Sleeping Beauty" to use the ultra wide-screen format.

Creating Briar Rose/Aurora (stuff they don't tell you) - Disney Princess - Fanpop Creating Briar Rose/Aurora (stuff they don't tell you) Guide by alafastanzio posted over a year ago Sleeping Beauty was released on January 29, 1959 and was made due to the overwhelming success of Cinderella. Therefor the Disney Studios got right to work revisiting the fairy tale formula and developing a new version of the classic story. It was decided early on that this film would have to surpass its predecessing fairy tale films. by Evynd Earle Background artist Evynd Earle was hired to develop a new look which combined both medieval and modern art forms. His designs were unique in that they were dominated by definate vertical/ horizontal lines and geometric shapes. This would have a lasting effect on the future design for Disney's third princess as she would have to be designed to not clash with the angular style. When coming up with a name for the princess, Disney had two options. In early translations of the Brothers Grimm story Little Briar Rose, the princess's name was Briar Rose and her mother was named Aurora (sunlight bringing forth flowers and all that poetic symbolism stuff).

Then in Tchiakovsky’s ballet Sleeping Beauty the princess was named Aurora. As it fit into their new plotline, Disney used both names making Briar Rose a pseudonym for the Princess Aurora in hiding. One of Disney's greatest muses was the young Audrey Hepburn starring in her 1953 debut film Roman Holiday. In an Oscar-winning performance, Hepburn plays a Princess Ann from a nondescript country visiting Rome. After a slight emotional breakdown, the princess sneaks out of the royal embassy and enjoys living as a regular person for a day going by the name Anya. (which would later be the name used for Don Bluth’s misplaced princess Anastasia) She meets a guy, they fall for each other, her bodyguards come after her so she ultimately has to make a choice on whether or not to return. ~Great movie. Watch it! Audrey Hepburn's character in this film has had the greatest impact on Disney films than any other woman as she influenced every single Disney Princess since in some way. by Tom Oreb..&.. Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday Early concept designs for the princess were left to Disney artist Tom Oreb known for his stylized 1950s animation.

He derived much of his inspiration from Audrey Hepburn herself. Aurora’s peasant outfit was a direct result of using Roman Holiday scenes with Princess Ann [Hepburn] for reference material. The same black & white color scheme was even used from the film and a black bustier was added to make it appear more period. by John Collier With the name Aurora, meaning ‘dawn’, it was decided upon that she would be a blonde rather than brunette. Walt Disney himself felt this also helped in setting her apart from Snow White and Cinderella. (according to Disney Color Archives, Cinderella's hair was ‘burnt orange’) But a classical piece of inspiration was a painting from the turn of the last century by John Collier of The Sleeping Beauty. The two handmaidens dressed in red and blue may have aided in the color-coding of Flora and Merryweather. Helene Stanley The job of animating Aurora was handed over to Disney veteran Marc Davis who was also responsible for such characters as Cinderella, Tinker Bell, Maleficent, Alice, & Cruella De Vil to name a few.

In addition he brought in Helene Stanley would once again be used as the live action model since her work modeling for Cinderella had been so successful. She would return a final time to model as Anita in 101 Dalmatians, a film that would ultimately reuse the angular style of Sleeping Beauty for its characters but atop a messy, modern background. As far as the iconic dress goes, animators went in search of some 14th century reference material. Much of what they found was slightly contradictory in terms of what was appealing in the 1950's fashion. So they modernized the medieval dress a bit. A common style in both medieval and 1950's formal wear was the shoulder bearing dress. Aurora's white collar (which WASN'T white in the film) was added to give her an even more angular look. Other similarities are self-evident by this picture. It is rumored that during the design of this dress, deciding upon a color was a matter of some debate. One artist wanted pink while another stubbornly insisted on blue.

The humor in this situation was spotted at a meeting and this very feud was incorporated into the story as the rival between the fairies Flora and Merryweather adding a magical element to the dress. A great comprimise. In the end, Sleeping Beauty has come to be one of my favorite Disney films. The artists' gamble in making an all-new style was nothing less than a triumph, becoming one of most successful films of the entire decade. It also set the par for future animated films and sparked the desire to give every new film a new artistic style. If any of Disney's work is worthy of such a title as 'Masterpiece', it is indeed Sleeping Beauty.

But finding complexity is one thing; inventing entirely new characters is another. While at some points Maleficent shows us new sides to the story, at others it takes us to a previously unimaginable Bizarro World version. Where do the stories diverge, and where do they intersect? We set out to map their two sometimes overlapping trails.

Yes, that means the following contains spoilers, so please check back after you’ve seen Maleficent. (If you haven’t already seen Sleeping Beauty, which has only been out for 55 years, then you’re beyond help). In the beginning… Sleeping Beauty: Is, from the film’s get go, a fairy tale, read straight out of a storybook. Maleficent: Narrator Janet McTeer announces she is going to tell “an old story anew.” King Stefan has a baby. Sleeping Beauty: He and his queen don’t waste any time and the princess appears right at the top. They name her Aurora. Maleficent: He gets around to it eventually. But first he spends his callow youth toying with the heart of a woodland fairy named Angelina Jolie’s Cheekbones. Does Maleficent fly? Sleeping Beauty: Not that we recall. Maleficent: Like Superman—and the first third of the movie is her origin story. King Stefan drugs Maleficent, and hacks off her Dogma wings. Sleeping Beauty: Doubtful that anyone had the guts to pitch that particular take during Walt Disney’s lifetime.

Maleficent: There’s no family-friendly way to put it: In this iteration, Stefan (Sharlto Copley) is a bastard. And not that it matters, but he’s not even a blue blood; he’s a peasant who drugs and hacks his way to the throne. Maleficent puts a curse on King Stefan’s baby Aurora just because she didn’t get a proper invite to the christening. Sleeping Beauty: That’s all the motivation a lady needed in 1959. Maleficent: Well, yes — that plus the king drugged her and hacked off her wings. The newborn Aurora is whisked away from the kingdom, and raised in the woods by three fairies. Sleeping Beauty: Technically, yes, this is what happens. Maleficent: Technically, yes, this is what happens. The fairies are incompetent twits. Sleeping Beauty: This is implied, but Flora, Fauna and Merryweather are nonetheless celebrated as Aurora’s saviors, despite the fact that even after more than a decade of custodial work they still don’t know how to crack an egg. Maleficent: Their haplessness is expressly stated.

One of the fairies is actually called Thistletwit (Juno Temple). The names of her peers aren’t much more flattering: Flittle (Imelda Staunton) and Knotgrass (Lesley Manville). Maleficent is an incompetent twit. Sleeping Beauty: Kinda. Who else doesn’t regularly touch base with her team, and keep them focused on the mission, which is to find Aurora. Maleficent: Don’t make us laugh. Jolie’s Maleficent is as sharp as her cheekbones. She knows where that baby is before the kid needs her first diaper changed. Read More Maleficent is like a mother to Aurora. Sleeping Beauty: Ha! There are no mothers in the classic Disney universe. Females are either: (a) underage; (b) of age and dead; or, (c) of age and evil. Maleficent: It’s better than that: The teen-aged Aurora (Elle Fanning) considers Maleficent her godmother. It’s nice to see the kid appreciate that while lurking in the shadows Mal made sure she didn’t starve to death under the “care” of the fairy twits.

Maleficent looks like Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard. Sleeping Beauty: More like Tallulah Bankhead in a turban. Maleficent: Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!
