The wicked fairy godmother, a rare figure in fairy tales, is nevertheless among the best-known figures from such tales because of her appearance in one of the most widely known tales, Sleeping Beauty, and in the ballet derived from it. Anonymous in her first appearance, she was later named in some variants Carabosse, and as Maleficent in Disney's animated version.
The oldest version of Sleeping Beauty that has been preserved is Sun, Moon, and Talia from Giambattista Basile's Pentamerone. This version does not feature any fairy godmothers; Talia's fate is prophesied, but Talia's fate is not caused by witchcraft.
Charles Perrault added the witch to his variant the story of Sleeping Beauty, "The Beauty in the Sleeping Wood" ("La Belle au bois dormant"), published in Histoires ou contes du temps passé 1697; he did not give her a name. The Brothers Grimm included a version, "Little Briar Rose", in their collected tales; similarly without a name; in Perrault's version, seven fairies were invited, and she is the eighth, and in the Grimms', twelve were invited and she is the thirteenth.

Genres: Animation,Now here is something I would really love to hear everyone's opinion on - do you prefer Carabosse to be played by a man or by a woman? This video is a compariative viewing of Alexey Loparevich of the Bolshoi Ballet and Kristen McNally of the Royal Ballet playing Carabosse the Wicked Fairy in the Prologue of "The Sleeping Beauty". I, myself, am a Petipa purist, but I actually prefer Carabosse to be played by a woman rather than a man because I think the women do a much better job at playing the Wicked Fairy. In the original 1890 production, Carabosse was played by a man - Enrico Cecchetti (who also danced the Bluebird) and since the première of "The Sleeping Beauty", Carabosse seems to have become a unisex role as some productions have her played by men, some by women and others occasion...

And I'm learning how to fight
Kissing you goodnight
But I still can't really tell you why I'm blue
And I'm learning how to fight
Kissing you goodnight
And the reasons you'll never really find
You took me out to breakfast
I guess that means that's better
But in your room I still know what to do...
And now I know I've got to
Do all these things without you
Although I don't need a clue
It still tells me what to do, yeah!
And I'm learning how to fight
Kissing you goodnight
But I still can't really tell you why I'm blue
And I'm learning how to fight
Kissing you goodnight
And the reasons you'll never really find
You took me out in the night too
I'd have to see what I'd do
Because when I do it, then we do it all!
Because that's what I'm like with you
And now I know you've gone home
Back to wherever you came from
And all I've got is a song
On a record I don't even own, aaaah!
And I'm learning how to fight
Kissing you goodnight
But I still can't really tell you
Bout my bruise
And I'm learning how to fight
Kissing you goodnight
And the reasons you'll never really fi-i-ind
