Before Angelina Jolie reinvented her as a misunderstood soul, Maleficent was best known as the wicked fairy godmother that crashes Princess Aurora’s christening in Disney’s animated classic Sleeping Beauty.

But the character did not always have the imperious and regal look she has in the 1959 film and the re-telling released earlier this year. In fact, animators at Walt Disney Studios had initially envisioned her as ugly and hag-like. It was animator Marc Davis who gave us the scarily elegant Maleficent we know today: It’s all about those suggestive-of-the-devil horns.

Yahoo Movies has an early version of the Maleficent’s uninvited entrance into King Stefan’s castle (above). Part of the bonus features from the forthcoming Diamond Edition Blu-ray combo pack of Sleeping Beauty, the clip uses original sketches of the classic villainess. Note the red, flowing vampire-like frock with what appear to be bats flying around her, and an unsightly, angular face with big droopy eyes.

And it’s not only the look of Maleficent that went through an evolution. Comparing this clip with the actual scene from the movie (below), you will also find that the early version starts out quite differently: Maleficent is shown to have more earthly qualities, lacking the ability to magically appear in the middle of the king’s court as she does in the finished film. Instead, she walks up to the castle and demands to a guard, “Announce me!”

The Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy combo pack is available on Oct. 7 and includes more never-before-seen extras like this one. Yes, a bunch of behind-the-scenes fussing went into making this Disney fairy tale classic.
