Phillip, the first prince listed here to be given a proper name and a full character is the prince from the film Sleeping Beauty. At her birth, it was said that Prince Philip would marry Princess Aurora, the daughter of his father's best friend. A young Prince Phillip presents a gift to the baby Princess but ironically is less than impressed when he sees her. However, at the Princess' debut to the public, Maleficent cursed her, causing the Three Good Fairies to take Aurora into the forest to raise her. However, much like the The Prince in Snow White, Phillip is riding in the forest and hears Aurora, now known as Briar Rose, singing. He follows her voice and starts singing with her. She tries to run away, but he follows her. By the end of the song, they have fallen in love. After being captured by Maleficent and thrown into her dungeon (discarded plot ideas for "The Prince") after arriving at Briar Rose's home, the Three Good Fairies rescue him so that he in turn can save Aurora. But first he must face a terrible battle with Maleficent, who has assumed dragon form. The battle ends with her being killed and him narrowly escaping with his life. He kisses Aurora and she wakes up. They then go downstairs, arm in arm, and share a dance after Aurora meets her parents.
