Sleeping Beauty

Continuity mistake: Flora is showing the fairies what changes to make on the dress, but when she points at the book and says "if you change it here" her right finger is missing the book and points at the table. When the shot changes the animation is fixed and her hand is now pointing correctly.

Continuity mistake: When the movie begins and everyone comes to see Aurora, the ornaments carved on the side of her cradle change between shots: first it's triangles; then the boy arrives and it's leaves; and when the fairies approach there are none. Later on the leaves reappear.

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.

Question: Is there any particular reason why Maleficent needs to lure Aurora up into the tower to have her prick her finger? We see that Maleficent magically creates the spinning wheel herself, so couldn't she have just done that in Aurora's bedchamber?

Answer: Being that Aurora is a princess, she would have many servants and other attendants constantly tending to her. They could conceivably discover the spinning wheel and prevent Aurora from pricking her finger inside her bedroom. Luring her into the tower makes her more vulnerable. It also adds to the story's drama and suspense.
