The evil fairy, Maleficent ( Angelina Jolie ) cursed Aurora during the christening .
Narrator:
In a far away land, long ago, lived a king and his fair
queen. Many years had they longed for a child and
finally their wish was granted. A daughter was born,
and they called her Aurora. Yes, they named her after
the dawn for she filled their lives with sunshine. Then a
great holiday was proclaimed throughout the kingdom,
so that all of high or low estate might pay homage to
the infant princess. And our story begins on that most
joyful day.
(A crowd is on its way to the castle.)

Joyfully now to our princess we come,
Bringing gifts and all good wishes too.
We pledge our loyalty anew.
