Disney apply's the hypodermic needle in Maleficent by having a curse that can be broken by true loves kiss this is accepted by the audience , as Maleficent regrets the cure she puts on the child and tries to take it back but once the child pricks her finger, Maleficent's true was accepted as it awoken the child form her deep slumber this was accepted because the true loves kiss was to save the child. The act of the true kiss is seen through a lot of other Disney films the only difference from the other films is that the true loves kiss came from a woman and not a male and also the fact that Maleficent had to learn her mistake that she regretted, to be able to have given her the true love kiss. This conveys that we shouldn't do things in such haste and learn to let go of any hate as we can hurt innocent people which brings the message across to the audience it also shows that a true love kiss does not have to be from a male which the audience excepts and understands.
