Does anybody feel sorry for Maleficent that she didn't get a good night sleep for 16 years, worrying about where Princess Aurora is, and once she gets that spell down, and back at the castle after her visit with Prince Philip. And she is has the line, "for the first time in 16 years I shall sleep wall." And yet I don't thin she would not have with what was going on outside of that room she goes in, the tower, and yes people I know that she is the villian, but still never getting a good night's sleep.

No WONDER she's The Villain. Lack of sleep will do that to you.

I loved the scene where Fauna begins musing sympathetically about Maleficent, "...I don't think she's really very happy..."

Was anyone else expecting Maleficent to hit on Phillip while he was chained up?

Haha. Yes, definitely. "Meanwhile, Prince Phillip, you shall be my love slave." Love her so much!

Feel bad for her because she couldn't get any sleep knowing that an innocent child wouldn't fall prey to her terrible curse that she cast for no reason? Um, no. She basically can't sleep because she's troubled over the fact that she won't be able to spread her evil or make anyone suffer.
