Adding blessing due to how one version of the story had the fairies bless the princess.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Blessing}}: One version of the story has the evil fairy who wasn't invited to the princess's christening cursing her to be killed. The six good fairies already blessed the princess with beauty, dance, goodness, grace, song, and wit. The seventh attempted to reverse the curse but could only do it partially, where she would be blessed with protection that would cause her to fall asleep for a century until awakened by a prince.

Crosswicking from Fairy Godmother

Added DiffLines:

* FairyGodmother: At her birth, Sleeping Beauty is visited by benign fairies who make good wishes for her life (in Creator/CharlesPerrault there are seven, in [[Creator/TheBrothersGrimm the Grimms]] there are twelve). However, after they made their initially good wishes, the fairies do not return to aid Sleeping Beauty (though the seventh fairy in Perrault's version puts the rest of the palace to sleep so the princess won't be lonely when she awakens). Many variants including "Literature/SunMoonAndTalia", the oldest known variant, have no fairy godmothers.

Added DiffLines:

* LoveTriangle: The Matthew Bourne adaptation creates one centered on Aurora. The "Prince" is now a gardener in the palace who she was [[SecretRelationship secretly in love with]] before she went to sleep. Meanwhile, Carabosse now has a son who sets the trap for Aurora to prick her finger. After the gardener kisses her, Caradoc has his underlings pull him away before Aurora opens her eyes to make it seem like Caradoc was the one who woke her up.

* RevengeSVP: The wicked fairy takes not being invited to the baptismal celebrations rather personally. In Matthew Bourne's adaptation, the wicked fairy herself allowed the king and queen to have the child in the first place. Unfortunately, the king forgot to invite her to the baptismal celebrations afterward, and the wicked fairy took the apparent lack of gratitude personally and vowed her revenge. Meanwhile, an animated version of the story produced by Creator/WalterLantz eventually reveals that the wicked fairy was actually invited all along (her invitation was just misplaced), with her being the one who gets the prince to kiss Sleeping Beauty as a means of fixing her mistake.

* OutdatedOutfit: The prince naturally notes the Beauty's dress is a hundred years out of fashion, but is too polite to say so to a woman's face.
