Narrator:
Once upon a time there were two kingdoms that were the worst of neighbors. So vast
was the discord between them that it was said only a great hero or a terrible villain might
bring them together. In one kingdom lived folk like you and me with a vain and greedy king
to rule over them. They were forever discontent and envious of the wealth and beauty of their
neighbors. For in the other kingdom, the Moors lived every manner of strange and wonderful
creature. And they needed neither king nor queen but trusted in one another.
In a great tree on a great cliff in the Moors lived one such spirit. You might take her
for a girl. But she was not just any girl, she was a fairy. And her name was Maleficent.
( Maleficent spreads her large wings and takes flight across the land, greeting the other
creatures she comes across)
[Maleficent joins two large tree-like guards who are holding back the human thief, a
young boy, Stefan, as he hides in a cave]
Young Maleficent: I’m not afraid. Besides, I’ve never seen a human up close.
[to Stefan] Come out!
Young Stefan: No! They mean to kill me.
Young Maleficent: Ow!
Young Stefan : What’s wrong?
Young Maleficent: Your ring! Iron burns fairies.
Young Stefan : I’m sorry.
[Stefan takes off his ring and throws it away]
Young Stefan : I like your wings.
[Maleficent smiles to herself as Stefan turns and walks off]
Narrator:
As the years passed Stefan’s ambition called him away from Maleficent and towards the
temptations of the human kingdom. While Maleficent, the strongest of the fairies rose to
become the protector of the Moors.
[we see an adult Maleficent flying across the Moors looking beautiful and powerful].
Maleficent often wandered alone and sometimes wondered where Stefan might be.
For she had never understood the greed and envy of men. But she was to learn. For the
human king had heard of a growing power in the Moors, and he sought to strike it down.
[as Maleficent sits in the Moors, in the distance she spots King Henry and his army charging
toward the Moors and she quickly flies off]
[Henry and his army stop by the borders of the Moors, he turns to his army]
King Henry : There they are! The mysterious Moors where no one dares to venture for fear
of the magical creatures that lurk within! Well, I say: Crush them!
[the soldiers cheer and just then Maleficent flies in to confront them]
Maleficent: Go no further!
King Henry : Iam a A king does not take orders from a winged elf.
Maleficent : You are no king to me!
[Henry stares at Maleficent for a moment then addresses]
King Henry : Bring me her head.
General : Attack
Maleficent : You! You will not have the Moors! Not now, nor ever! You…
[suddenly Henry pushes her away, and as his armor is made of iron, it burns her, she then
watches as Henry’s army retreats back to their kingdom]
IN THE CASTLE
King Henry : When I ascended to the throne I promised the people one day we would take
the Moors and its treasures.
King Henry : Who among you is worthy? Kill the winged creature! Avenge me! And upon
my death you will take the crown.
[later that night Stefan goes into the Moors to seek out Maleficent]
Stefan : Maleficent! Maleficent!
[as she does not appear, Stefan turns to leave when suddenly Maleficent flies in]
Maleficent : So, how is life with the humans?
Stefan : Maleficent, I’ve come to warn you. They mean to kill you. King Henry will
stop at nothing. Please, you have to trust me.
[Maleficent and Stefan sit closely to each other by the river]
Narrator: [voice over] They spoke of many things and the years faded away. And she
forgave Stefan, his folly and his ambition. And all was as it had been long ago.
[Stefan offers Maleficent some wine]
Stefan : Are you thirsty?
[Maleficent takes flask and starts drinking from it and soon she passes out as he’s drugged
the wine]
Stefan : Maleficent?
[Stefan strokes her forehead then pulls out a knife to kill her, but he cannot bring himself to
do it, he looks at her wings then takes out iron chain in order to use it to take her wings]
Maleficent groans from pain. She sits up and shakes her headto clear the thick sleep.
The pain on her back is intense. She looks around for Stefan, then reaches over her shoulder.
Her fingers touch a long cauterized burn where her wingsused to be. On the shock and horror
in her eyes
Maleficent : AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! [stefan then take the wings to the king]
King henry : what is this ?
Stefan : I have avanged you, sir.
King Henry : you have done well, my son. You will be rewarded.
Stefan : I shall do my best to be a worthy successor, your majesty.
[The next day, maleficent sees a man capture the raven with a net]
Diaval : Awk !
Maleficent : Now a man.
(The raven transforms into a MAN. DIAVAL finds himself on the ground in a naked human
body. He also has a touch of vanity and he’s prone to preening.Maleficent steps out of the
shadows.)
Diaval : What have you done to my beautiful self?
Maleficent : Stop complaining. I saved your life. what do I call you ?
Diaval : Diaval.
Maleficent : You’ll be my wings now.
(MALEFIENT gets diaval to transform to a bird and fly to stefan’s castle)
IN THE STEFAN’S CASTLE
(STEFAN’S has became a king and marriead with a queen, )
DIAVAL came back from the castle.
Maleficent : Tell me !
Diaval : STEFAN has married with queen and .....
Maleficent And now he’ll be king. He did this to me so he could be king!
AAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHH.....!!!!!!
[ [Diaval who’s been spying flies off to the Moors to let Maleficent know of the news]
Maleficent : Well?
Diaval : Well, I saw nothing. But there’s been a, um…
Maleficent : What?
Diaval : Child. King Stefan and the Queen have had a child.
Maleficent : Oh.
Diaval : There will be a christening. They say it’s to be a grand celebration.
Maleficent : A grand celebration for a baby. How wonderful.
[the whole kingdom turns out for the celebration of the christening for Princess
Aurora]
Narrator:
All manner of folk came to the christening, even a trio of fairies who sought to foster
peace and goodwill.
Flittle : Oh, look, there’s the baby!
Thistletwit : I love babies!
Flittle : My wish is that you’ll never be blue, only happy, all the days of your life.
[finally Thistletwit comes over]
Thistletwit : Sweet baby, my wish for you is that you find…
[suddenly a great wind blows through the hall, we see Maleficent’s shadow walking towards
Stefan ]
Flittle : Maleficent!
Maleficent : Well, well. What a glittering assemblage, King Stefan. [she looks at the
guests]
Maleficent : Royalty, nobility, the gentry, and… [she laughs sinisterly again and looks at
the fairies]
Maleficent : How quaint. Even the rabble. I must say I really felt quite distressed at not
receiving an invitation.
Stefan : You’re not welcome here.
Maleficent : Oh. [she does a mock offended look and then laughs]
Maleficen t: Why, no. And to show I bear no ill will, I too, shall bestow a gift on the
child.
[Stefan rises in anger]
Stefan: No! We don’t want your gift! [Maleficent approaches Aurora’s crib]
[Maleficent looks down at baby Aurora for a moment]
Maleficent: Hmm. Mmm. Listen well, all of you. The princess shall indeed grow in grace
and beauty, beloved by all who meet her.
Stefan : Don’t do this.
[Maleficent looks behind her and notices the spindle on a spinning wheel]
Maleficent : But before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday, she will prick her finger on
the spindle of a spinning wheel and fall into a sleep like death! A sleep from which she will
never awaken!
Stefan : Maleficent, please don’t do this, I’m begging you.
Maleficent : I like you begging. Do it again.
[Stefan hesitates a moment before kneeling in front of Maleficent]
Stefan : I beg you.
Maleficent : Alright. The princess can be woken from her death sleep, but only by…true
love’s kiss. This curse will last till the end of time! No power on Earth can change it!
[with her blast of green light surrounding her she leaves, laugh sinisterly]
Narrator:
King Stefan ordered his men to seize every spinning wheel in the kingdom. The
wheels were broken and burned, that they might never be used, and thrown into the deepest
dungeon in the castle. Secretly, he entrusted the safety of the child to the magic of the pixies,
who would take her to a remote hideaway for sixteen years and a day.
[we see Stefan handing baby Aurora to the fairies and they take her away to the woods]
Narrator:
The fairies began their charge to raise Aurora in a snug little cottage in the woods.
[the fairies pull up in their carriage outside a cottage in the woods]
[Diaval takes Maleficent to the fairies cottage and creeps to an open window and
looks inside where the baby Aurora is in her basket]
Maleficent : Hmm. It’s so ugly, you could almost feel sorry for it.
[baby Aurora smiles adoringly at Maleficent, she then pulls a frightening face at Aurora but
Aurora just continues to smile at her]
Maleficent : I hate you. Beasty.
[Maleficent hears the fairies inside the cottage, turns and walks away]
Narrator:
The fairies were perhaps unequal to their task.
[baby Aurora cries as the three fairies try to work outside their cottage]
Flittle : Why is she crying?
Thistletwit : I think she might be hungry.
Flittle : Oh.
[as Flittle goes to get her some food we see Diaval spying on them in his bird form]
Thistletwit : Hungry baby.
[Flittle places some carrots across baby Aurora’s basket]
Flittle : There you are. There you go.
[Diaval shakes his head, and as the baby continues to cry Maleficent covers her ears in
frustration]
Maleficent : It’s going to starve with those three looking after it.
[Stefan sits in his chamber staring at Maleficent’s wings which are kept in a glass cabinet]
Stefan : You mock me. I know what you’re doing. I know exactly what you’re doing.
[one of his servants opens the door and stands by the doorway]
Servant in Wing Room: Sire? Your presence has been requested by the Queen.
Stefan : Can you not see we’re having a conversation?
[the servant looks across the room, then shuts the door to the chamber, Stefan rises and
walks over the glass cabinet]
[AURORA being sleeping. And maleficent look at her from the door.]
Maleficent : I revoke my curse! Let it be no more! I revoke my curse! Let it be no more!
Let it be no more! 3x
[as Maleficent tries her best in the end she fails to revoke the curse and hears a voice
whispering]
Voice: This curse will last till the end of time. No power on Earth can change it.
[another night, Maleficent is in the Moors again walking with Aurora]
Aurora : Do all the Fair People have wings?
Maleficent : Most do.
Aurora : Then why don’t you? All the other fairies fly.
Maleficent : I had wings once, they were stolen from me. That’s all I wish to say about it.
Aurora : What color were they? Were they big?
Maleficent : So big they dragged behind me when I walked. And they were strong. They
could carry me above the clouds and into the headwinds. And they never faltered, not even
once. I could trust them.
[Aurora touches her hand in comfort but Maleficent turns and starts walks off]
[ the Moors one morning, Maleficent sits and watches as Aurora lovingly strokes a creature]
Maleficent : Aurora? Come here. [Aurora goes over to Maleficent]
Maleficent : Sit. [she sits next to Maleficent]
Maleficent : There’s something I need to tell you.
Aurora : What is it?
Maleficent: There is an evil in this world, and I cannot keep you from it.
Aurora : I’m almost sixteen, Godmother. I can take care of myself.
Maleficent : I understand. But that’s not what I have to tell you…
Aurora : I have a plan. When I’m older, I’m going to live here in the Moors with you.
Then we can look after each other.
Maleficent : You don’t have to wait until you’re older, you could live here now. [Aurora
smiles with joy]
Aurora : Then I will. I’ll sleep in a tree and eat berries and black nuts and all the Fair
People will be my friends. I’ll be happy here for the rest of my life. I’m going to tell my
aunties tomorrow. [she laughs and looks at Maleficent]
Maleficent : Until tomorrow.
Aurora : Oh, I’m so excited! [Aurora laughs as she leaves to makes her way back to
the cottage]
[as Aurora is walking in the woods practicing what she’s going to say to the three
fairies, Prince Phillip who’s riding in the woods, notices her]
Aurora : I love you very much, but it’s time to say goodbye. You’ve been very good
to me, except the time you accidentally fed me spiders.
[suddenly Phillip steps in front of her to interrupt her making Aurora gasp in shock]
Prince Phillip : Hello. [Aurora, looking shy and afraid, doesn’t reply]
Prince Phillip : I’m sorry to bother you, but I’m on my way to King Stefan’s castle and I’ve
become hopelessly lost. Can you help me?
[as he takes a step towards Aurora, she takes a step back in fear and stumbles down]
Aurora : Oh!
Prince Phillip : Oh, I’m sorry. That was my fault, I rushed in too…
[he takes her hand to help her stand, he suddenly becomes silent as he becomes mesmerized
by her beauty, Aurora takes back her hand]
Prince Phillip : Forgive me. [Aurora points to the direction]
Aurora : It’s that way. The castle. [Phillip just keeps on staring at her]
Aurora : What’s your name?
Prince Phillip: It’s Philip.
Aurora : Hello, Philip.
Prince Phillip : What’s yours?
Aurora : Aurora.
Prince Phillip : Hello, Aurora. [Aurora smiles at him shyly]
Prince Phillip : Well, it was nice meeting you. And once again, my apologies for being such
a clumsy fool.
Aurora : You’re forgiven.
Prince Phillip : That’s good. I’d best be off then. [Phillip bows his head and turns to leave]
Prince Phillip : Goodbye.
Aurora : Goodbye, Philip.
[Aurora smiles to herself as she watches Phillip ride away]
[Maleficent and Diaval, in his bird form, watch Aurora’s encounter with Phillip,
Diaval flaps his wings in Maleficent’s face].
Diaval : True love’s kiss, remember? It can break the spell.
Maleficent : True love’s kiss? Have you not worked it out yet? I cursed her that way
because there is no such thing.
Diaval : Well, that might be how you feel, but what about Aurora? That boy could be
her only chance. It’s her fate, anyway. [Maleficent looks at him then raises her hand to use
her magic to turn him into a creature]
Diaval : Go ahead, turn me into whatever you want. A bird, a worm. I don’t care
anymore. [he turns and walks away]
[at the cottage the fairy are trying to make Aurora a cake for her birthday]
Aurora : I need to talk to you about something.
Flittle : Oh, yes, sweetie, what is it? [Aurora walks over to them and notices the blue
stain on Knotgrass’ face which suddenly disappears]
Aurora : I’m sorry to have to tell you this, but I’ll be sixteen tomorrow.
Flittle : Oh, yes.
Aurora : I’m leaving home.
Flittle : Shush! So that you could ruin it on the last day. We are taking you back to
your father with…
Aurora : My father? You told me my parents were dead.
Flittle : I think you better come and sit down.
[after the fairy have told Aurora about her father, she steps out of the cottage looking
distressed and runs into the Moors calling to Maleficent]
Aurora : Fairy Godmother! [Maleficent walks towards Aurora]
Maleficent : I’m here.
Aurora: When were you going to tell me that I’m cursed? Is it true?
Maleficent : It is. [Aurora starts crying]
Aurora : My aunt said it was an evil fairy. I…I can’t remember her name. They said it
was…Maleficent. [Aurora looks at Maleficent with sadness]
Aurora : Is that you? Are you Maleficent?
[Maleficent, looking at Aurora with tears in her eyes, takes a step closer to her]
Aurora : No! Don’t touch me. You’re the evil that’s in the world. It’s you!
[Aurora turns and runs off, Maleficent shouts to Diaval]
Maleficent : Find the boy!
[Diaval flies off to find Phillip]
[Aurora rides to the kingdom, goes to the palace and is taken by a guard to see Stefan
who is holding a meeting with his men]
IN THE CASTLE
Aurora : Father. It’s me, Aurora!
[she rushes excitedly towards Stefan and hugs him]
Stefan : You look just like your mother. They brought you back a day too soon. Lock
her up in her room. [to Aurora]
Stefan : Go. [the guard grabs Aurora’s arm and Stefan turns to his men]
Stefan: Prepare the men. Maleficent’s coming.
THE MOORS
Prince Phillip : I’m looking for a girl.
Maleficent : Of course you are. [Maleficent uses her magic to put Phillip to sleep]
[back at the palace Aurora’s finger is feeling more uncomfortable as she continues to
hear the voice]
Voice: …into a sleep like death. Aurora.
Maleficent: Come on, Diaval!
[back at the palace Aurora, still hearing the voice, finds a door to the dungeon]
Voice: Aurora.
[Aurora opens the door and enters to find where all the destroyed spinning wheels are and
she notices the cursed spinning wheel forming, she starts walking over to it]
[meanwhile Maleficent frantically races to the castle]
Maleficent : Faster, Diaval, faster!
[inside the palace, Stefan is by Aurora’s bed as she lies unconscious in her bed, the three
fairies approach them]
Stefan : Look at her. Look at what you’ve done.
flittle : She’s only sleeping.
Stefan : She’s only sleeping, you say? She’s only sleeping. She’s only sleeping
forever!.
[Stefan hits Flittle aside in anger and walks out of the room]
[Maleficent and Diaval enter the palace and comes Stefan’s trap of massive iron needles set
across the threshold]
Diaval : Mistress.
[Maleficent starts walking through the iron needles carefully, they all get through and
Maleficent manages to knock out a guard in the process]
Maleficent : Hmm.
we see Aurora sat in the Moors watching Maleficent as she flies around using her magic to
take down the wall of thorns]
Narrator:
Maleficent brought down her wall of thorns and took off her crown. And she invited
Aurora to see how the Moors had been once, long ago, when Maleficent was but a child and
her heart was bright. For now, it was again. But that was not all.
[after Maleficent restores the Moors to its former beauty, Aurora is brought before her and
Diaval]
[as the creatures bow to Aurora she turns to see Phillip has joined them, they smile at
each other].
Narrator: [voice over] In the end, my kingdom was united not by a hero or a villain, as
legend had predicted, but by one who was both hero and villain. And her name was
Maleficent.
