Story,
In this new take on the classic Sleeping Beauty story, Maleficent, a
beautiful winged fairy falls in love with a human who ultimately betrays
Maleficent's love and trust of him by cutting off her wings while she
is asleep so that he may present them to a dying King in order to be
named successor to the throne. Scorned by love, Maleficent seeks revenge
by casting an irreversible evil spell on the newly crowned King's first
born child, Aurora. In fear that the spell will come true, the new King
sends his newborn child away to a secret country cottage hidden deep
within the woods to be watched over by a trio of three hummingbird sized
fairies, Flittle, Knotgrass and Thistletwit. As Aurora grows in age,
the now scorned fairy Maleficent becomes very fond of the adorable
little girl and decides to reverse the curse. However the curse is
irreversible. Destined to prick her finger on a spindle wheel needle and
fall into a deep sleep forevermore Aurora prematurely returns to her
father and his castle. Pricking her finger on the spindle wheel, Aurora
fall into her deep sleep awaiting her "prince charming". Eventually
awaken by a kiss of love, Aurora helps to usher in a new day of peace in
the fantasy land.
A beautiful, pure-hearted young woman, Maleficent has an idyllic life
growing up in a peaceable forest kingdom, until one day when an invading
army threatens the harmony of the land. Maleficent rises to be the
land's fiercest protector, but she ultimately suffers a ruthless
betrayal - an act that begins to turn her pure heart to stone. Bent on
revenge, Maleficent faces a battle with the invading king's successor
and, as a result, places a curse upon his newborn infant Aurora. As the
child grows, Maleficent realizes that Aurora holds the key to peace in
the kingdom - and perhaps to Maleficent's true happiness as well.
