---> '''Maleficent:''' "I will not ask your forgiveness because what I have done to you is unforgivable. I was so lost in hatred and revenge. Sweet Aurora, you stole what was left of my heart. And now I have lost you forever. I swear, no harm will come to you as long as I live. And not a day shall pass that I don't miss your smile."

* While overall a FlatCharacter that is easily overlooked, it's pretty safe to say that Princess Leila's position within this story actually kind of sucks royally. Her father used her hand in marriage as a bargaining chip to encourage Maleficent's demise, she gets married off to the man that both did what's the equivalent to the unspeakable to Maleficent and (unbeknownst to her) ''killed'' her father when he tried to go back on the deal, watched helplessly as her innocent daughter is cursed by a vengeful Maleficent, is forced into handing over said daughter when she is placed into hiding, and finally witnessed as her husband (who most likely never loved her) fully descended into megalomania until DeathByDespair from the entire situation did her in shortly before she could meet and connect with Aurora. And to top it all off, while Aurora does grieve Leila's passing it is clear that she regards Maleficent as her true mother and Leila a little more than a footnote.

* To a small extent, Stefan's death. Not for his sake, but for Maleficent's as she stands over his body. It's framed as a somber moment, not a victory; in spite of everything, she still seems to feel some sadness at the demise of the man she once loved.

* It can be heartbreaking to see baby Aurora just crying out of hunger as her three guardians more or less sleep soundly, especially since she takes to drinking the nectar from the flower that Diaval brings her without any hesitation whatsoever: it brings to mind parental neglect, adding another layer to the AdultFear themes already present in the film.
