I'm pretty sure you all know the rest of the story from here, but I'm not going to spoil the rest if you haven't seen it. While Merryweather uses her blessing to weaken the curse by making Aurora fall into a deep sleep to be awakened by true love's kiss instead of dying if she pricks her finger, the fairies decide to take the princess into the forest and raise her as their own until she turns sixteen so the curse will be broken. Before Merryweather can give her gift though, the evil Maleficent (Eleanor Audley) interrupts the celebration after not being invited and curses Aurora to die after she pricks her finger on a spindle of a spinning wheel before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday. Among the guests are the three good fairies, Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather (Verna Felton, Barbara Jo Allen, and Barbara Luddy respectively) with the former two blessing the princess with the gifts of beauty and song. A holiday is since proclaimed and many from across the land have come to see the new baby princess and everyone seems to be happy. In a faraway kingdom, the daughter of King Stefan (Taylor Holmes) and his queen, princess Aurora (Mary Costa) is born.
