Sleeping Beauty is the classic fairytale about a lovely princess who is gifted with grace and beauty.  But she sparks the jealousy of the evil fairy Maleficent.  Maleficent then places a spell upon the baby.  To keep the child safe, three kindhearted faires agree to hide the child until the spell has passed.  But even they cannot protect her from the Mistress of all Evil and Aurora falls into a deep slumber.  The only one who can awaken her is her true love, Prince Phillip, but he must first defeat Maleficent.

Maleficent definitely deserves all credit for Sleeping Beauty's fame.  She's probably the best villain Disney ever came up with, and Elanor Audley's voice just added to the awesome animation.

Flora, Fauna, and Merriweather!  Great characters.  Definetely the next in line after Maleficent.
They're just like loveable old ladies, they're so funny and cute.

On her 18th birthday, she shall prick her finger, on a spinning wheel!

You wanna know what I think the best part of this movie is?  That music! You know what I'm talking about. That scary Meleficent music I love it so much, it's perfect.
