Three doting fairies – Flora (Verna Felton), Fauna (Barbara Jo Allen) and Merryweather (Barbara Luddy) – whisk Aurora away to raise her deep in the forest where Maleficent cannot find her. One day while riding in the woods, Prince Phillip (Bill Shirley) meets Aurora, now known as Briar Rose, and the two fall in love.
