Who is the TRUE villain in this story? The PRINCE or MALEFICENT?
Disney's version:
A snubbed malevolent fairy casts a curse on a princess that only a prince can break, with the help of three good fairies.
The ORIGINAL story...of
Sleeping Beauty
Wise men warned the King from poison in the palace’s flax. Princess Talia still succumb to the curse from the flax-spinning wheel. The king placed her sleeping (or dead) body on a clothe and left her in the forest.
A rich nobleman was hunting and saw the abandoned body of Sleeping Beauty. Instead of just 'kissing her' the CREEP raped her sleeping body, causing her to get pregnant. Nine months later, Sleeping Beauty had twins (and named them Sun and Moon) and the forest fairies took care of them while Sleeping Beauty continued to sleep. One of the children sucked out the poison splinter, waking their mom, Talia.
Months later, the nobleman CREEP returned to the woods where he found Sleeping Beauty awake. The CREEP confesses his wrong doing and returns home to his WIFE! Eventually, after the CREEPs wife finds out, tells him she killed the kids and were feeding them to him, the wife is out of the picture and Sleeping Beauty and her abusive CREEP nobleman get married.
So What's the deal with ... MALEFICENT?
A vindictive fairy is driven to curse an infant princess only to realize the child may be the only one who can restore peace.
My opinion is, MALEFICENT scares me! They made her look like a female demon, much like the Disney cartoon version of her, but sooooo real. I can't wait to see it.
Honestly, I've found if we search most of Disney's 'family' cartoons there's a ton of CREEP in most of them. (Creep like - I wouldn't want to watch that in a horror flick.)
