DISNEY / 2000 / WELCOMES / Third and final in the Unforgettable Villains Series. / Look for series verification 3 on this ornament. / Of all the villains in Walt Disney's classic films, none is more / petty and spiteful than Maleficent of Sleeping Beauty. When / Princess Aurora is born, a proud King Stefan invites his whole / kingdom to a celebration--everyone but Maleficent, that is. / The villainess crashes the party with a terrible gift--a spell / dooming Aurora to enter a deep sleep on her sixteenth birthday. / Only a kiss from her true love can break the spell and awaken / the princess. The king takes great lengths to hide his daughter, / but to no avail, for on the fateful day, Maleficent lures Aurora / to her destiny. But Maleficent's power is no match for love. In / a final battle, she transforms herself into a dragon but is slain / by Prince Phillip, who then awakens Aurora with a kiss. / For decorative use only. Not for young children. / Concue a des fins decoratives seulement. / Ne convient pas aux jeunes enfants. / Handcrafted - Dated 2000
