I wasn't expecting that, that's for sure.

I liked finally seeing Maleficent and Aurora interact, and actually seeing her put under the sleeping curse. It's also pretty interesting how they've split the character of Sleeping Beauty between the mother and daughter, with one having her name from the Disney animation and the other having her name from the original fairy tale.

As far as I know, in the original story, Sleeping Beauty was called Briar Rose and her daughter was called L'Aurore, but the animated movie gave the name Aurora to Sleeping Beauty instead. So yeah, a cool way to incorporate elements from both versions.

It is a shame we didn't get the christening scene though, but no doubt that would have led to more "Omg they're copying the Jolie movie" claims even though the scene didn't originate in that movie.
