- Aurora's 3 Fairies Were The Secret Villains Of The Entire Movie? | Disney's Sleeping Beauty
For being one of the most influential villains in Disney's history, Maleficent was never really given a strong backstory, and a lot of fans have been left wondering why the Mistress of Evil became that way. However, after reading through the novel, “Mistress of All Evil: A Tale of the Dark Fairy,” by Serena Valentino it’s clear that it wasn’t entirely her fault. In fact, Maleficent might have made for a very strong and very GOOD fairy had it not been for Aurora’s 3 Fairy Guardians, Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather.

Maleficent never knew kindness because hardly anyone showed it to her. I can relate to Maleficent because I’ve bottled up my feelings just like her. But of course I didn’t turn into a dragon. It was a big mistake of the three “good” fairies to be so cruel to her. She was more powerful than them individually but in the end those three and Prince Phillip defeat her.
Look what they needed to mimic a fraction of her power.
I don't think there's a single person in the world who couldn't relate to maleficent I never had anyone show me any kindness either especially when I was a kid it was a nightmare
I agree. I don't blame Maleficent. I never bottled up my feelings or got bullied but I don't blame her and it's wrong that Disney showed that the three fairies as good when they were the real villains and pretty much the reason why Aurora was cursed.
Yeah, same here. I bottle everything up too
I can relate to her a bit to
I'm not surprised to see Cinderella's godmother cast as one of the villains here, considering that she never protected the girl from her stepmother and stepsisters.
Shrek movie was right
I mean I never thought of that, but she did take her to the ball.
actually even without reading the book, if you watch sleeping beauty carefully and keep in mind that maleficent is an all powerful fae (and to not invite her is like inviting everyone in the royal family except for the one with the highest position, a complete and obvious insult), you would notice merryweather is also part of the reason maleficent cursed aurora in the first place. merryweather should have kept her mouth shut instead of adding insult to injury and giving maleficent more reason to want to curse baby aurora as punishment for their parents' faux pas, funny thing is if the king had not seconded merryweather and apologized for insulting her i think there's a chance maleficent may not have cursed aurora to die, there's a chance a curse would still be in effect but not as permanent as death
I have watched Sleeping Beauty carefully and without trying to find contrarian "Maleficent was right actually" evidence. The reason they didn't invite Maleficent is because THAT'S HOW SHE IS. She is canonically petty and spiteful. Which is perfectly exemplified in the scene where Phillip is in the dungeon, chained up and Maleficent taunts him while cackling just because she can. We also learn right after the party that she kills Flora's best flowers every year. These things aren't there for nothing. She is characterized as someone who likes to start things and anger people just because she can. Someone who misuses her powers specifically to be hurtful. You don't call yourself "the mistress of all evil" if you're a decent person who just got their feelings hurt.
It was never about Merriweather insulting her. Actually, Maleficent insults Merriweather first when she refers to her and the other fairies as "the rabble." The king also never says anything and Maleficent curses Aurora when the queen asks "And you're not offended, your exellency?" after Maleficent says she's leaving. That's the ONLY thing anyone says to her after Merriweather says she wasn't wanted there. And then Maleficent decides the appropriate response is *murdering an infant.*
It's almost like you wouldn't want to invite someone like that to be around your child or something.
@@moonbunny24 exaclt she's THE MISTRESS OF ALL EVUL, THE MOST POWERFUL FAIRY IN THE LAND, it's an incredible faux pas to not invite her, thats like inviting every single member of the british royal family exceot for the reigning monarch (and yes the british royal family popped in my mind first thats the only reason im using them as an example). even if they didnt want her there, protocol and a sense of self preservation dictates she be there. im not discounting the rest of what you said about her being petty though you got that right
@@misaki4119 Powerful is misleading, it doesn't mean that she is the most royal/regale or accepted, it's just she can do most things, she would be like the head of a criminal organization; and if one would invite the royal family, I wouldn't feel comfortable with a mafia boss as literal godfather at a christening (;
@@moonbunny24 So right! I absoloutely agree! They are turning now the movie upside down. If Maleficent could be imagined differently with anyone, perhaps with something like Darth Vader, perhaps as fallen fairy, and all would be good with a kind of such explanation. I would have preferred indeed some twist for Maleficent's origin and perhaps also a kind of redemption arc - BUT It's not good to make the fairies or the king the actual villians and reveal the villian as the hero of the tale. They should stop victimizing the REAL bully/villian. I know this is the same case as in real class, I had been victim of bullying, yet, by teachers, I was questioned why I would make others bully me. -and this is the crazyness. In the original tale, the last fairy had been not that evil, but in the Disney story-building they made a devilish villian out of her, so lowering the villianess is nor the problem, but why doesn't this work without blaming the good fairies ( and I would never forgive "Disney" what they did with the beautiful song "Once upon a dream" from Walt Disney's good old times....)
I thought it was extremely mean for Merryweather to tell Maleficent that she “wasn’t wanted.” No one ever wants to hear that and who can blame Maleficent for how she reacted. Sure it seems mean and extreme to curse a baby but Maleficent might not have even cursed Aurora and given her a very nice gift that was practical.
Disney doesn't recognize the books of Serena Valentino as official canon but I like them though. Maleficent is such an intriguing character. Hopefully she will write a book about Chernabog as well.
Literally just fan fiction. We are on a weird time. No originality at all.
yes because she took the time to actually make the villains into real people with feelings and give them actual pasts that explain why they became who they are... Disney seems to enjoy making villains to just be villains without explaining all the pain and suffering they may have gone through growing up... They definently seem to also have a habit of making all the good guys seem like innocent angels who can do no wrong when we all know that even the best of people can do cruel or mean things.
@@Sassafrass95 well.... if you think about it logically... having to show each and every character (both villains and protagonists)a bg story would take waaaaay too much screen time that I doubt any producing company would want to shell the money out for.. it would also make the movies unnecessarily waaay too long.
Giving each of them a bg could possibly work for a series show.. but not a movie.
@@Sassafrass95 Not every villain has to have complex motives...
Well if you look at how disney likes to botch up multiple fairy tales the book is more CANON than the disney movie itself
i just realized the tree birds at 2:26 have the fairies colors red, blue and green, which might be the fairies following aurora in the forest so she's never really alone
So tragic this is why I feel for the villains
There's a qoute from a villain in Voltron "Villains aren't born but created." Merla Queen of Darkness and sadly for the most part it's true
Before watching the video I was already thinking more along the lines of the backstory mentioned during one of the "Maleficent" bonus features. Given the description that she was originally a fairy who'd lost her wings would be tragic enough, but when she first arrives at the christening she actually gives the fairies and royals an out when she says; "my invitation must have gotten lost," before she's told that she "wasn't wanted"
I would like to know what Walt Disney was really thinking about maleficent origins, if he Even tought of something.
Also there is a Line that Fauna Say during the movie that tickle me And make me think that things could have been better between maleficent And the fairies. First she want to try to resonate her which Flora And Merryweather respond that it's impossible because she's too evil, which question Fauna. Also, when she says " Maleficent doesn't know anything about love, tenders And good feeling... Sometime I think that deeply inside her Heart, she's not happy"
(I don't know how she Say it in English but this is basically what she's saying in french)
Technically this is true this what I believe. King Stephan was originally Prince Stephan from the live action movie he knew Maleficent when he was a kid and liked her at the start but he ripped Maleficent's fairy wings off and they were no longer friends after that is the reason for not inviting her to his daughters chrisning
That's what I remember hearing from a video about the backstory of Maleficent from the live action movie!
I agree and Maleficent is actually both a villain and a hero in the live action movie and I like that version of the movie
@@hannahheart1254 I have seen both movies of Maleficent and it is revealed that she used to be a fairy from the first movie we see her as a young fairy and one day Prince Stephan came to her hide out and saw her as fairy but he realized that he wanted her wings so he ripped her wings off and he went to his home never to be seen until he is an adult now married to Queen Leigh and had a daughter named Princess Aurora who is now married to Prince Philip and had a daughter named Princess Audrey and King Stephan realized that Maleficent and Hades got married and had a daughter named Mal who is now married to King Ben the son of King Adam and Queen Belle
The live Action is more a fanfiction of the og Movie so it’s not Canon
@@abgachastudio Dude I literally explained it 8 months ago so it's technically canon
It makes no sense, and the school part makes no sense. Why make it into a case of mean girls. Those fairies aren't bullies. Airheaded yes, bullies no. They just made a teen book out of it.
Shut your face!
I always wondered why she had such a kind nature in the movie but this is just mind blowing. Flora, Fauna and Merryweather are the daughters of Maleficents original 3 sisters in the live action version and I have a theory that the original aurora named her son after her dead and briar rose is her grand daughter.
I’ve always seen Maleficent’s curse more as a lesson to not to exclude others just because they are different than you and you don’t like them for it because they will eventually find a way to get back at you and it won’t be pretty. Merryweather was rather cruel when she said that Maleficent wasn’t wanted,
You would think someone who cares about an infant child's happiness would be more sensible or empathetic with someone, no matter how different they are.
Heck, if Merriweather didn't insult Maleficent, maybe Maleficent wouldve given Aurora a cool but morbid gift, like maybe the gift of seeing ghosts or communicating with the dead
Being told "you weren't wanted" wouldve hurt anyone's feelings, whether you're good OR evil
@@torytellstales Mood.
I'm actually glad to still be awake now
I'd just like to say, (as a fellow fan of Serena Valentino's series) that the books are cannon adjacent, though they are written to not deny anything in the movies, it's more of an alternate universe. So please don't jump on the video poster; these books are officially licensed by Disney, and are not fanfiction. They are simply part of an alternate expanded universe with an interesting story, one the poster is sharing with us from his point of view. So please, be kind.
These books can't even get the fact that Flora is the obvious leader right, instead laughable saying that MERRIWEATHER is in charge and making Flora and Fauna her unquestioning lackeys. Valentino shows no understanding of the characters or any nuance in the films because she's too busy trying to figure out how she can make her OCs responsible for everything that happens in the entire Disney canon. I hate this book series so much.
I've only read Fairest of them all and a bit of The Beast Within. I liked FOTA but I also saw some things in it that didn't make sense. For example, the prince knowing Snow White before the famous wishing well scene. There was no evidence of them having met before. Then the odd sisters. Lots of potential there, but why are they so keen on destroying the family of their own cousin? I've heard they're recurring characters in the series and it makes me want to read more out of morbid curiosity, but I have a feeling I'm not gonna like the rest of the series.
Very late, but is that Usagi I see?🗣️
I think I knew that those three fairies weren't good in the original Disney animated movie. It was the blessing ceremony at Aurora's birth that gave away the darkness inside at least one of them. Merriweather always felt like the darker of the three sisters to me, in certain circumstances throughout the movie she would say or do something that would make me give her the stink eye. The first was how she treated Maleficent, after the green fairy had actually come to find out why she hadn't been given an invitation to the ceremony--which, mind you, everyone was supposed to be invited, not everyone, except HER--and Merriweather said what I thought was possibly the rudest thing you could say to someone in that situation. "You weren't wanted."
From then on, I couldn't trust her. A truly good fairy wouldn't have said something like that so carelessly for no reason other than being a complete b-word, if you catch my drift. And I don't think anyone likes those mean girls you have in high school.
@Jay Blue Wow, an actual hater. Never thought I'd meet one of those. I just thought they existed on the comment section as wild beasts. But, apparently they come when you call them and feed them what they want.
@Jay Blue So, it's just adding to the conversation about learning to hate someone from someone insulting them? Good guys aren't always good. Reread your comment and think how it came off.
Ikr
The aurora being maleficent's daughter storyline from the book is definitely not canon
She is made via a spell in the book
In one early version of Sleeping Beauty, part of an Arthurian romance Perceforest, the fairy godmothers are Greco-Roman goddesses. In this tale, a princess named Zellandine falls in love with a knight named Troylus. The goddesses' names were Lucina (aka Juno), Venus and Sarra (aka Minerva) who enchant the princess into a magical sleep with a flax thorn while Troylus is on his way to prove to the king Perceforest that he is a knight who is worthy of Zellandine's hand. But when the knight returns to the kingdom, Troylus finds his beloved in eternal sleep and because he believes the princess is dead Troylus sleeps with her for the night. The next morning Zellandine gives birth to a child taht draws from her finger the flax that caused her sleep and Zellandine, now awake, realizes from the ring Troylus left her that he was the father. When Troylus returns again he finds Zellandine alive and marries her. The lesson of the story was that if you are a Christian, don't take Greco-Roman goddesses as your child's godparents, because they can be envious and jealous in religious matters.
I've heard about the Brothers Grimm version, but I didn't know about this one. I can't help but feel sorry for her, those three foolish fairies have caused more harm than good.
She actually gave her daughter to her mother but she didn't know that Aurora was actually her granddaughter so she gave her to the king and queen. 👑
I Like Her Live Action Movie Backstory As Well As The Book's Backstory
Well detailed informative video on the characters Maleficent and Flora Fauna and Merriweather from Sleeping Beauty. It further proves Maleficent is a misunderstood character
Wow I feel so bad for her. that was a really tragic backstory
Soooo basically a movie that was made so long ago had no explanation of what happened but somebody just came up with a story about what happened and people just think that it's true? Is it even accurate?
It's not accurate. It's fanfiction. Still enjoyable tho
For some reason in adaptations the three fairies seem to be evil. In the movie they were portrayed as good. I dont like this version of Maliefcient, they portray her as only a victim and everyone around her as enemies/bullies.
Villains aren’t born they are created. I enjoy a great back story and this one was perfect
There have been other sleeping beauty movies that paint maleficent as a sympathetic villian. Also the odd sisters and fairy godmother, interesting how all these stories tie together
Maleficent is one of my top 5 fav villains', (S)He was the queen of evil before getting written as sympathetic. While I did enjoy the Live action made about her it was not the same as in the original Disney Sleeping Beauty. She is the Disney Queen of Evil, Personally I see more of a Drag Queen in her then a female queen, but that just makes me like her even more. Like the Wicked Witch of the West, She doesn't need a reason to be herself. She just is and that makes her a good character. I didn't like the three weak "good" fairies. But to repaint them to fit an agenda is still not a good thing. They where incompetent in the movie, they don't need to be bullies also. In the original movie she was a queen of a land, evil, but a land none the less. They should of invited her to the christening, but why would you invite the "Devil" to a baptism? So they don't curse you or course.......Also next time you watch the original animation watch the Queen and her interactions....
I FEEL SO BAD FOR MALEFICENT!!!!!😭😭😭
This sounds like some subversive BS written by some bitter kidult who just wanted to make Maleficent a misunderstood girl boss while the nice fairy's were all secretly the bad guys.
This book exists as nothing more then fanfiction that modern Disney allowed to permeate into classic stories.
Ok so she was bullied by three fairies and she went and cursed a baby but we are supposed to think that she is the victim here cry me a river
Then how does Mal from Disney's Descendants fit into all of this? She is Maleficent's daughter in that series. Mal can even cast spells and turn into a dragon like her mom.
Maleficent isn't a bad person my girl is just misunderstood 😩
I’m glad that this review touched on the irl moive version it shows almost everything that movie touched on her the 1st and 2nd movie
I am not surprised I read the story she is one of my favorite characters
Makes you appreciate the villains even more
Great video. I actually read Mistress Of All Evil. This was really interesting
I belive that maleficent origins in the book isn't very happy but I don't belive that flora,fauna and mery weather are bad. I would prefer that maleficent was once a very good fairy but one day she fell in love with a man (which is not king Stephen) and that man betrayd her for another women and that is how maleficent became evil.
Hmmm I don't really agree with this back story for Maleficent 🤔 Although, judging by how the three faries acts in the animated movie, both towards each other and socially, it wouldn't surprise me that they are bullies of Maleficent. And although bullying can lead to a person turning evil, I don't think that is the entire story behind Maleficent being evil.
Personally, when I was a child, I though Maleficent was an evil queen. An heiress from a line of evil rulers and it was just how she was raised.
Maleficent calls herself an evil queen in "House of Mouse," so, your headcanon may be true.
But atleast when you grow up ya know there was something behind that, like you dont question why she is like that? Lol
Just listened to the whole book and it makes more sense that the maleficent disney movies
So Snow White KNOWS Maleficent is actually good
Poor Maleficent
I don't like the twist with Aurora being Malificent's child since the princess looks just like the queen. But other than that it was really interesting.
Magic can do anything, including changing one's appearance
Thank you the three girls Mary Flora and Fauna are the true villains of this movie they were really bullies to Maleficent by killing her with a sword? That’s just mean!
Mal was literally preventing Aurora from being saved...
I think They are just jealous😅
I don't see it as Canon except the part where the three fairies are bullies I wrote a fanfiction that is not on the internet in that au maleficent is an empress of an empire called magicia and at the same time maleficent is still the mistress of all evil .
Ooh!

So this is how Audrey could take Maleficent's sceptre without dying
Wait Aurora is actually Maleficent daughter😳 I did not see that coming?!
I wonder why the three fairies were so mean to her!
I think her name explains the duality of thw character being a mixture malicious and magnifecent
She went full Darth Vader on them.Did not know she had bueaty.
never knew aurora was maleficent's daughter
These books offer an intriguing and fun reimagining of iconic characters and puts them in a contextualization in a more modern way.
Between Elphaba from Wicked and Maleficent I definitely feel for the quote, unquote villain even though they aren't the true villains they're painted as such.
I've been there a few times it still hurts sometimes💔💪🐺👍
Too cheesy, I'd rather to believe she's just the personification of Evil and leave it there. Besides Aurora's mother is identical to her. Sooooo... NO.
1. Really? You'd have maleficent be a flat one-dimensional character rather than a fleshed out being?
2. Magic can do anything, including changing one's appearance
@@bellaknightR597 Not all villains need to be sympathetic. That was her original design, to be the Mistress of all evil, even her name says so. Also Maleficent and Aurora's mother were in the same room the night Maleficent cursed Aurora. All these cheesy and cheap changes to make Maleficent look more sympathetic just make her look less of a threat, less of who she meant to be. And also make the story feel like a common cliche soap opera.
@user-wy9xu4ff5g I'm guessing you're not a fan of the Angelina Jolie movie
@@bellaknightR597 I've seen both, I like Angelina's performance and as individual movies they're very good, but I prefer the original take on the character.
Its really heartbreaking that Malifacint had to go there all that but I remember reading the book and weren’t Malifacint and the blue fairy friends and the blue fairy was the only one nice to her and Nanny
That's very interesting but I prefer Angelina Jolie's version
Yeah same
This is all a complete side that i wouldnt even imagine. Not only that, have you notice the physic simalarities between Aurora and Maleficent
😱😱😱 Wooow!!!
This is much better than the maleficent movie 🎥 for sure
Bruh the live action Maleficent is peak disney live action
Maleficent😭💔
It’s always the good guys that are the evil ones. I’m telling you.
The author can’t be any further from the truth.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It’s one author’s interpretation of the backstory, not the actual backstory, as advertised. Clickbait.
U know alot of people can relate there always someone who cheats to get to the top
Any news Maleficent 3 Mother Of All Faeries
I dont like it . I still think that Maleficent is pure evil and I love her because of that. And fairies really care about Aurora and the kingdom
Well, I do like that Maleficent isn't pure evil. I think the only fairy who was mean to her was Merryweather.
@@mollymcmurtrie8037 Maleficent from 1959 for sure was pure evil. She literally planned to trap Phillip for hundred years and then release him as old, corrupted man. Fate worse than death. Live action version wasnt evil at all but animated version is pure evil
I love aurora ❤
That's kinda sad
So there are 3 princesses that are sleep. Snow White.tilla and allura
Glad the film was not based on this novel.
Naaaah.. I prefer disney's Maleficent movie version!
Yes but in Maleficent the move we se that she was allso taking caear of Aurora.
It didn't need all of the fan fiction, no matter how well written. Medieval court politics explain her behavior quite well. A christening of a king's child, and you don't invite the most powerful person in the kingdom (or adjacent kingdoms)? Of course you offended her terribly. And got a terrible curse in return.
Imagine if they HAD invited her. Her gifts would have been incredibly powerful just to show up the other "rabble" fairies. Court politics are all about one upmanship.
But wouldn’t maleficent be explain through the movies
Easy some good ones are actually are the bad ones just hiding their true colors. Plot twist maybe.
🐡
No. Nope. I don't like that. The fairies were genuinely kind in the film. They shed real tears in their love for Aurora and expressed a real desire to do good. This telling is not in character at all.
Honestly it’s a possibility they could’ve had an ulterior motive I don’t think they’re not naïve especially when it comes to politics they don’t know how it works I think they do they could be pulling A Bene gesserit So they could control Aurora later 🤫
Now we know the 5 true villains of Sleeping Beauty: Flora, Fauna, Merriweather, King Stephen, and Queen Leah.
What did the King and Queen do? Besides not invite her, of course. I haven't read the book in a bit, but as far as I remember they were only guilty of being unable to have a child and wishing for one. They had no idea she was Maleficent's.
