Trivia
On the second day of the Disney D23 Expo at the Anaheim Convention Center, Saturday, 10 August 2013, Angelina Jolie admitted that she scared little kids while in costume on the set of Maleficent, with one kid actually saying, "Mommy, please get the mean witch to stop talking to me." She adds that her daughter, Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, who played young Aurora, was the only child who was not scared of her.

Goofs
Spinning wheels don't have sharp spindles, and most drop-spindles are not sharp enough to puncture skin. The distaff on a spinning wheel, however, is often this sharp. The distaff is the pointed bit that holds the wool (or other fiber) waiting to be spun. Disney has perpetuated this falsity to the point where few American children know the difference.

Quotes
Maleficent: [before kissing Aurora to awaken her from her enchanted sleep] I will not ask your forgiveness because what I have done to you is unforgivable. I was so lost in hatred and revenge. Sweet Aurora, you stole what was left of my heart. And now I have lost you forever. I swear, no harm will come to you as long as I live. And not a day shall pass that I don't miss your smile.

Crazy credits
The usual Disney castle in the opening credits is replaced by the castle used in the movie.

Alternate versions
German theatrical version was cut (ca. 40 seconds) by the distributor to secure a "Not under 6" rating.

Interesting

This movie was in my watchlist from long time and I finally watched it today. Movie was interesting and entertaining to watch. We all know the story of Sleeping Beauty, this movie was a nice twist to it. The acting, story, visuals all were good and movie did a good work on grasping the audience till the end. Overall, a good watch and would recommend others to watch it, if you haven't yet.
