And his classmates often laugh at him and make fun of because he has friends that are peasants name Angus and Fergus that help him and are with him through tough times.

Phillip gets very angry and upset that he punches him in the face and tackles him and he is thrown out of school for his actions and never to return again. At the same time, Hubert is with Stefan and Hubert admits that Phillip is not catching up and might possibly be failure as a prince. King Stefan then suggests to him to have Hubert make Phillip go on his adventures and go outside his kingdom and he even gives King Hubert a white horse name Samson. Hubert ends up finding out about what happen to Phillip at school and tells him to go on an adventure on his own and learn some skills that he would never learn in school, and he has to be on his own for a week and report back to his father after a week has passed.

Phillip hears her singing and he starts fallowing the sound of her voice, but accidentally falls into a lake and swims out.

Phillip ends up catching with the animals and using his charm, huge heart, and his kindness, and his social wits, Phillip ends up singing some parts of the song and shocks Rose and dances with her. But then as Phillip stops singing himself, Rose right away doesn't trust him and Phillip keeping clam around the girl, just wants to know more about her and is able to clam her down and starts dancing with her in the forrest. As the dancing is done, Rose begins to ask Phillip a lot of questions and he does his best to answer all of them and Phillips ask her questions but Rose is unable to answer Phillip and worries about getting in trouble with Flora, Fauna, and Maryweather.

And after the swim, Rose just really loves Phillip a lot and completely trusts him.

Phillip ends up paying the owner the money he owes him and Phillip being really kind and sweet, even gets berries for Rose and takes her back to the cottage. And they both part ways, and it would be the last and only time Phillip would see Aurora as Rose.

Rose gets back to the cottage and tells the fairies about meeting Phillip but never relives his name and this makes the fairies very worried and they tell Rose not to see him anymore and Rose learns who she truly is and who her real parens are. And she doesn't want to be a princess and doesn't care about being in a kingdom and she just wants to be with Phillip but just doesn't know that Phillip is part of the kingdom and is a prince himself. And this makes Rose very sad and she starts crying in her room.

Meanwhile with Prince Phillip, he comes back to the kingdom and tells Angus and Fergus his adventure over drinks of wine. But what happens is that the boys are ambushed be Maleficent's evil knights and they sneak into King Stefan's castle and Maleficent and her knight want to arrest Phillip on her authority very badly. Phillip makes a run for it and he starts getting chased by the knights and he fights more evil animal knights with old medieval swords and with other weapons in the room, the evil knights also start throwing a lot of medieval bombs and cause some parts of the castle to explode and catch on fire. Phillip keeps on running from the knights and he goes into one of the tallest castle buildings in the kingdom and he fights more evil animal knights there with his combat skills and other weapons. And most importantly Phillip would end up going into the room Aurora would go in much later on and fights more knights chasing him. Phillip finally gets to the room that the spinning wheel would be in much later and fights an evil animal knight general and ends up battling him and killing him. the castle building starts to catch on fire to the point where other citizens in the kingdom notice and see the fire and Phillip ends up attaching himself to a string and Phillip jumps out the window and he starts zip lining down really fast and he flies and falls over the main castle wall and lands in the water. Samson comes and reduces him and Phillip goes on top and starts heading back to his father's kingdom. Stefan also finds out about the attack and orders his men to protect the kingdom a lot more. and boost up more troops. Maleficent comes and she uses her magic to put out the fire in the tall castle building and makes both rooms a lot more nice and fancy for her final gift to the princess to work and work well.

Back with Aurora and just like in the 1959 Sleeping Beauty movie, the fairies take Aurora to King Stefan's castle and they give Aurora the last gift which is the gift or royalty and they place a princess crown on her head. But Maleficent sneaks into the room and hypnotizes Aurora and starts guiding her to the spinning wheel and she pricks her finger on the spinning wheel and evil magic starts going into her body and she passes out on the ground. Left sad and stunned, the fairies end up putting Aurora into a bed and they start placing everyone in the kingdom asleep and not only doing that, they also turn the day back from dusk to night time. And before the fairies used their magic and put everyone to sleep in the kingdom, Hubert is with Stefan and Hubert tells him that Phillip did go on adventure and believes he will be great prince and maybe one day a king as well. And Phillip ends up telling his father the story and Phillip still doesn't know that he saw the princess and his father suggests to him to back go to the cottage and tell fairies who he is.

But it would later be a terrible mistake as not only has Maleficent successfully kidnapped and abducted Prince Phillip, but also she also kidnapped Angus and Fergus and also ordered her men to lock anyone in chains who sides with old the kingdom and begins a plan of her own to create a new kingdom and destroy King Stefan castle and kingdom. The fairies find out that Phillip has been kidnapped and they go to the forbidden mountain to save him and Samson.

Phillip unfortunately as he gets there, he gets tortured and beaten very badly with a whip and gets whacked in the face by staffs and other weapons and Maleficent and her men give Phillip a black eye and knock all of his teeth out as well. And blood comes out of his mouth and he also gets cuts and bruises as well. Maleficent finally Phillip the last gift that is really awful and shameful where she wants to trip Phillip in the mountain for 60 years and keep Aurora sleeping but as Aurora is sleeping, King Stefan's kingdom would be destroyed to the ground, the traditions and values and laws of the old kingdom would be gone, and the new kingdom would be filled with evil animal humans and no real humans what so ever. And if there are real humans or people that speak out against Maleficent and her new role as queen of the new kingdom, they would be locked away and put in jail an put in the dungeon to die and beaten and tortured to death. Phillip gets very angry and very upset and very offended by this gift that he head butts Maleficent very badly and gets punched in the face by her.

the fairies end up finding a very beaten up, scared, toothless, and bruised up and destroyed Prince Phillip, that not only do they use their magic to break the chains but they use their magic to heel Phillip and give him new teeth, and heel his cuts and bruises and his black eye as well.

Maleficent gets even more harder and harder to fight that she breathes fire out of her mouth and sets the kingdom on fire and Phillip jumps up in the air and is on a hill and Maleficent breathes more fire at Phillip and knocks his shield out of his hand, Flora then casts a special spell on Phillip's sword and Phillip throws the sword at Maleficent's stomach and Maleficent starts falling into a pile of green fire and her dragon body disappears into smoke.

But Maleficent shows up again with the keys to open the door in her hand. And Maleficent throws a kitchen knife at Phillip and stabs him in the arm and a very violent and brutal and very gruesome and very bloody fight takes place as Phillip fights Maleficent as she is in human form and both of them throwing attack after attack at each other and Maleficent blasts a lot of her evil magic at Phillip and gets attacked many times but bounces back and without the sword of truth with him, Phillip fights Maleficent with a giant, old knight sword and whacks Maleficent's scepter 33 times creating fire sparks.

Phillip, as he is breathing really hard, just sits down and he tries to clam down about what happen and he just feels scarred and alone and sad. But luckily Flora comes to him and sits next to him and comforts him and hands Phillip the Keys and Phillip goes up into the room where Princess Aurora and Phillip finally kisses Aurora on the lips and smooches her and he finally breaks the curse.
