There is a horrible amount of spelling errors in the "Kingdom Hearts Series" sub-section of this article. It should be cleaned up. Honestly, how do you misspell "memory"? --Sfida 18:01, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

This article is too emotional:

"will arguably be treasured by fans for a long time to come" - where's the evidence?

I've removed the offending statement. --Apostrophe 01:02, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Isn't "maleficent" literally "bad-doing"?

[edit] Might want to merge

You might want to merge details from the article to Sleeping Beauty (1959 film), since some of the information that is here is there. -- SNIyer12 (talk), 04:10, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Possible Survival in Kingdom Hearts series

I saw that my edit suggesting her survival has been reverted. Why is it not valid? Maleficent has shown herself to be more competent (if not more powerful) than Pete, and there is no doubt that she survived.198.137.26.152 16:31, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Maleficent's own biography section

I think we should add a section on Maleficent's life and activities during Sleeping Beauty, because most of her spinoff appearances show what she was doing then, so I think it's fair that her appearance in the film gets it's own section in this article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Themeparkfanatic (talk • contribs) .

[edit] when does maelificent turn into a will o the wisp

who removed this from the board, why? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.167.58.37 (talk • contribs) .

She turns into a glowing orb of green energy when she leads Aurora through the castle's secret corridors to the spinning wheel. While this isn't explicitly stated to be a will o the wisp, it basically is one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.81.97.140 (talk) 05:33, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What The!?...

Why is Maleficent listed under these categories ( Fictional bats | Fictional porcupines | Fictional bears | Fictional beetles | Fictional mountain lions | Fictional tigers | Fictional wolves)?! I don't even recall her even turning into a bat or a porcupine, or a bear, or a beetle, or a mountain lion, or a tiger, or even a wolf in any media that she has appeared in that i saw/researched (by any media, i mean the sleeping beauty series and the kingdom hearts series). the only animal that she ever transformed into that I recall is the Dragon. so can someone explain why she is listed under these? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.32.238.124 (talk • contribs).

Uh, because some dumbass wants to act like a fucking idiot who deserves to get his throaght slit. I'll change it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.115.34.186 (talk • contribs).

Whoa, watch it. No personal attacks! Powers ^T 14:29, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

ah, no, it happened again. some jerk (possibly the same one who labeled her under the previous false category list.) now labeled her under fictional sharks, fictional cattle, fictional mice and rats, and fictional snakes, and not to mention the return of fictional bats, fictional beetles and fictional wolves. I didn't count fictional crows since it is most likely referring to her pet crow, diablo. But still, who ever is placing her under categories she does not have any relations to would probably be written up! So please stop it! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.32.238.124 (talk • contribs).

One More Before I Go. Actually, I Think he (or She) meant like that she's a shape shifter, A Cosmic Being. Maleficent is associated with all of them. She's Powerfull, You Guys Are Wrong. All Are.

Nowhere has it been shown she is a shapeshifter. Turning into a dragon through magic can be considered as such maybe, but that is the only creature we see her change in, so I dont consider her a general shapeshifter. Further, being a shapeshifter doesn't mean she should be listed under every possible fictional creature. - Redmess (talk) 14:55, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Main Maleficent Picture

I know it's not a major thing, but could someone with the Sleeping Beauty DVD get a better screenshot of Maleficent and Diablo? The current one is so dark that it's hard to see either of them, and there are many other better shots in the film (such as her first appearance at the beginning) which would make for a more impressive picture. - LainEverliving LainEverloving 05:47, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

In response, I have a much better and clearer picture of the two of them together in the castle audience hall, so I'll upload that in place. It is smaller resolution-wise, but I believe it's decent enough to serve as a visual reference. - DJ Firewolf 03:35, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What happened to the goblins?

Okay, I know Maleficent got slain in the heart, and I know that Diablo got turned to stone but what happened to the goblins? I haven't seen the whole movie for a long time so could someone tell me? 68.164.90.200 00:21, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

They're last seen when Prince Philip is fleeing Maleficent's castle, so presumably they're still around (since Philip didn't kill any of them at all). They're simply leaderless - and really, their fate is almost totally irrelevant to the movie's plot, which is why it isn't addressed directly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.81.97.140 (talk) 05:31, 23 October 2007 (UTC) They weren't Goblins, They're Some Kind Of Hog Creature. And A Deleted Scene showed the Castle Collapsing, so They might have all died, if that's still canon.

[edit] Pale skinned?

I almost changed this, but then figured I ought to get some input: she's currently described as 'pale skinned', which isn't entirely false, but she's really a pale green, as opposed to pale but flesh coloured, like all the other human/fairy characters in the film. I propose changing the current descriptor to 'pale green-skinned' - anyone object? 210.11.130.234 (talk) 03:20, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree, she is clearly intended as being pale-green. - Redmess (talk) 14:57, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
