Sleeping Beauty

After King Hubert attacks King Stefan with a fish, he sheaths the fish in his belt.

In the next shot of King Hubert, seconds later, the fish has vanished.

Flora closes the drapes to the tower bedroom Aurora sleeps in, but throughout the rest of the movie, the drapes are open.

When Aurora is singing in the forest and when the little blue bird "kisses" her on her cheek, we hear her voice start singing a split-second before her mouth moves.

While preparing for Briar Rose's birthday party, the three fairies lock the front door.

When Briar Rose returns from picking berries, she opens the door easily.

When the fairies change into peasant clothes, Merryweather does not speak the first half of her line, "And we can use our magic to help us.

" The tiara given to Aurora by the three fairies has no jewels, but later on, when Maleficent shows the fallen figure of Aurora to the fairies, the tiara has rubies in it.

During his revelation of the living palace he has had built for Aurora and Phillip, King Hubert places a bottle of wine at the end of the buffet table behind an elevated bowl of food, but when he and King Stefan proceed to the center to share a laugh, they separate to reveal that the bottle has disappeared from the end of the table to the center.

The Kings often remark that it is the 14th century.

In another scene, we see fireworks being set off.

Fireworks were not used for entertainment until the 16th century.

During the song "Once Upon A Dream" in the forest, Briar Rose places her shawl and picnic basket on the log.

When it goes back to the log, they both disappear.

When Fauna was trying to make the cake herself, she read that she needed two eggs to go into the cake mix, and yet when she used her magic, three were put in.

Throughout the film Briar Rose's eyes are brown.

However when she awakes in the tower her eyes are bright blue.

Afterwards they return to brown.

Flora's eyes change from green to brown and back to green during the movie, and this was not corrected for the DVD or Blu-ray release.

After Maleficent transforms into the Dragon, we see Prince Phillip charge at her at full speed.

When he his knocked off his horse, the horse charges towards Maleficent, and disappears.

Seconds later Maleficent destroys the bridge, and somehow the horse is back in the thorn bushes.

When Flora and Merryweather are changing each other into blue and pink, respectively, with their wands, they forget to block the chimney.

When Diablo the raven arrives, he looks down the chimney, out of which pink and blue magical streams are shooting.

He gets hit with both, however does not change from his natural black color.

The opening credits list the late 17th-century 'Charles Perrault' (qv) version of Sleeping Beauty (La Belle au bois dormant/Beauty sleeping in the woods) as the basis of the film.

However, the film is much closer to the early 19th-century Brothers Grimm ('Jacob Grimm' (qv) und 'Wilhelm Grimm (I)' (qv)) version of the same storyDornröschen (Little Briar Rose).
