Trivia: If you look closely, there are many "Mickeys" in the scenery. For example, look in the bushes in various scenes and you will see three circles that form Mickey's head.
Trivia: Look carefully at Merryweather's biscuit at the beginning of the movie. It's one of the many Mickey Mouse shapes that appear throughout the film.
Trivia: Princess Aurora has only 18 lines in the entire film.
Trivia: Even though Princess Aurora is the main character, she has only 18 minutes of screen time.
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.
