Les Contes de ma mère l'Oye (The Tales of my Mother Goose) influenced Maleficent

The slighted fairy who curses an infant at her christening is Perrault's invention and has no name in his text. Maleficent takes that figure, gives her the name Disney gave her in 1959, and retells the tale from inside her, keeping the christening, the spindle and the sleep while replacing the motive entirely. It is the clearest case on the map of a villain origin built on a source where the villain has no interior at all.
