It's been a little while, and I do have opinions about things happening in the world, but I don't feel like writing them down. Instead I'm going to rant a little bit about plot problems in Disney's Sleeping Beauty.
1) Maleficent's Beef - The whole reason the queen of all evil puts a curse on Aurora is that she wasn't invited to the party? Talk about insecure
2) The fairies' plan - So the fairies come up with a brilliant plan to take the princess out into the woods and hide her from Maleficent. They do this. And it works right up until the very last day. So on the very day that the curse is supposed to happen, they take her back to the castle so that she can get pricked. What was the point of hiding her?
3 ) The fairies incompetance - They spend 16 years out in the woods not using magic, and when they start trying to make a dress and a cake, they can't even crack a couple eggs together?
4) Asleep - So that the people won't notice, the fairies put the whole kingdom to sleep, but as far as I can tell, Aurora spends about 2-3 hours asleep in the tower. They probably could just as easily said, "Sorry we're late. Fauna was constipated."
5) Aurora doesn't have a single word of dialogue after she finds out that she can't marry the nice man in the woods that wanted to take advantage of her. It's probably just as well, I think Merryweather had been planning on giving her the gift of intelligence before she had to switch to modifying Maleficent's curse.
