Princess Aurora, also known as Sleeping Beauty, or Briar Rose, is the titular main protagonist of Disney's 16th full-length animated feature film, Sleeping Beauty.
She is the daughter of King Stefan and Queen Leah. One day on her birthday when she was a baby, the evil sorceress Maleficent put a curse on her saying that when she pricked her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel, she would die. Luckily, Prince Phillip with the help of the three fairies: Flora, Fauna and Merryweather, saved her, along with her parents, King Hubert, and everyone else in the realm. She is the third Disney Princess in the official lineup. Aurora is also 16 years old in the movie Sleeping Beauty.
In the original film, she was voiced by Mary Costa. In other media, she has been voiced by Erin Torpey, Jennifer Hale and Kate Higgins.
