Jack's Revenge

17th Sep 2003

Sleeping Beauty (1959)

Corrected entry: When the fairies are trying to set up the party for Rose they are hopeless at cooking and sewing without magic. How did they get along for 16 years without knowing those basic skills?

Correction: Merriweather questioned why Fauna was making the cake when she had never done any of the cooking, and Flora answered that she had always wanted to. So for her it was the first time. And Flora had never made clothes before either. While Merriweather was just anxious to have the wands back from the first day because she just didn't like doing things our way.

Sleeping Beauty (1959)

Corrected entry: When the two fairies, Flora and Merryweather are fighting over the colour the dress should be, they shoot blue and pink sparks out the chimney. The crow that the evil scorceress sent to find Aurora sees the sparks and investigates. As he looks down the chimney a pink spark hits him, then a blue spark hits him. Why didn't he change his colour? And a lot of other things were zapped as well but didn't change colour.

Correction: Because the fairies' magic was directed only at the dress. If nothing else changed color, then obviously they only intended to change dress color, and it would be the only thing affected.

Then why, if their magic was aimed only at Aurora's dress, did the clothes of Flora turn blue from Merryweather's spell and the clothes of Merryweather turned pink from Flora's spell? Or does the spell just apply to all clothing?
