Did you know

• Released on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the original Sleeping Beauty (1959).

• When Aurora walks down the aisle at the end of the movie, the fairies argue as they change the colour of Aurora's wedding dress with magic. In Sleeping Beauty (1959), the fairies similarly argued over the colour of Aurora/Briar Rose's dress they are creating.

• The title "Mistress of Evil" was used for some foreign language versions of the first Maleficent (2014) film, which may explain why many countries opted to use the film's alternative title, 'Maleficent 2,' dropping the subtitle altogether.

FAQ

• Most lead actors returned for their roles from the first film. Why was Prince Philip recast?
• How did King John wake up from the cursed sleep?
• If the curse could be lifted by destroying the spindle, then why didn't Maleficent just destroy the needle in the first movie when Aurora fell to the cursed sleep?
