Specific references made to Sleeping Beauty include:
- Edward's animated appearance was modeled on Prince Phillip's.
- Narissa transforms into a dragon – just as Maleficent does at the end of Sleeping Beauty; neither villainess lives to become human again.
- Giselle recreates the prince from her dream with her animal friends – a reference to the scene where Princess Aurora's forest friends use Prince Phillip's clothes to pretend to be the prince from her dreams.
- The dance that Edward does with Nathaniel – a tribute to Prince Phillip and King Hubert's.
- Robert and Morgan's last name is Philip – a reference to Prince Phillip.
- Robert's secretary, Sam, is named after Prince Philip's horse, Samson.
- Edward goes looking for the girl with a beautiful voice, like Prince Phillip, Prince Eric (The Little Mermaid), and Snow White's prince did.
- Giselle's animated character goes barefoot in the woods just like Aurora.
- In the dance before the credits, Giselle's dress puffs out and then wraps around her in the same way that Aurora's does when she dances in the woods with the owl.
- Toward the end of the film, Narissa moves the bottom of her cloak away, revealing an unconscious Giselle at her feet, just as Maleficent had revealed Aurora to the fairies once Aurora pricked her finger and became unconscious.
