I missed this the first time I watched the episode but on second viewing, I noticed that when Aurora was talking to Phillip when she first woke up, she said (about Maleficent): "First she goes after my mother, then me".
Does this mean that there were actually two Sleeping Beauties, Aurora's mother being the first one?
Note that in the Charles Perrault text, Sleeping Beauty's daughter was named L'Aurore. That's where Disney got the name from (they just used it for the princess herself). So OUAT's Aurora being the daughter of the original Sleeping Beauty kind of ties back to the text the story is adapted from, in a way.
