History TearJerker / MaleficentMistressOfEvil

* Minor, but there is a disheartening element to Aurora asking Maleficent, the person that she has accepted as her mother, to hide her horns with a black scarf for the dinner with Phillip's parents near the start of the film. It's pretty clear that Maleficent is affected negatively by this request, but she accepts even when Aurora realizes it was wrong to ask this of her.

* The sheer fact that Ingrith is so hateful of magical creatures, she's willing to use her ''own son's wedding'' to the girl he loves as a plot to lure in and murder Aurora's people.

* The fact that Ingrith was the one who cursed John with the spindle, using Maleficent as the scapegoat. It certainly did not help when she silently condemns him to sleep forever to his face because of his desire to see peace. It's heartbreaking to realize how easily she ultimately cares little for her own family.

** Until that point, she was pretty much a comic relief character. Here, the bumbling cutie witnesses a plant fairy turning into a regular plant and, apparently, [[ColdEquation calculates]] that if the same happens to her while she is inside the organ, it's pipes will get clogged and everyone else will be saved. So she smiles sadly at Knotgrass and Thistlewit, says, "Goodbye girls" and charges into the organ.

* The whole chapel scene is a merciless massacre of cute fairies, who are defenseless against the iron dust and can't get out of the chapel. KillTheCutie en masse.

** Knotgrass and Thistlewit realize too late what she's doing and desperately plead her to stop.

* Flittle's death. The three fairies spent the first movie being [[ButtMonkey Butt Monkeys]], and her self-sacrifice (despite her sisters pleading with her not to do it) is hard to watch.

* Maleficent's apparent death, made worse by Aurora ''screaming'' while sinking to her knees in the ashes that are Maleficent's body.
