“ Maleficent is the main antagonist in Walt Disney's 1959 adaptation of Sleeping Beauty. After not being invited to the baby's christening, curses the infant Princess Aurora to "prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die" before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday. The character is Disney's adaptation of the evil fairy godmother from the original fairy tale. Maleficent is often viewed as the most powerful and sinister of the Disney Villains. ”
