Continuity mistake: Anytime the eye colors of the fairies are shown, Fauna's are very obviously brown. However, when the fairies are with Aurora after the curse takes place, a close-up of Fauna holding a handkerchief shows her with blue eyes.

Continuity mistake: When Merryweather makes the dress blue a second time, it starts off on a ribbon that wraps itself around the dress waistline. The ribbon doesn't make it onto the completed dress.

Suggested correction: Hardly a mistake, since they're using magic and the dress changes multiple times.

Factual error: Maleficent states that Princess Aurora will prick her finger on a spindle - the part of a spinning wheel that holds the bobbin. Spindles aren't sharp; what Aurora actually pricks her finger on is the distaff, which is used to hold the fiber before it is spun.
