Very smart timing here. Just as the 2014 live-action movie Maleficent hits video on demand, ABC family is repeating the 1959 animated Disney film, in which poor Sleeping Beauty runs afoul of a witch named Maleficent, who curses her with a prediction of death by spinning wheel needle.  And thus, her father the King, like fathers everywhere, tries to shelter her in a paternal, but ultimately futile, effort to keep her away from all unwanted pricks.
