King Stefan is a character in the 1959 animated film Sleeping Beauty. He is the husband of Queen Leah, father of Aurora, father-in-law of Prince Phillip, and the maternal grandfather of Audrey. He is also the former king of Auroria before the mantle went to his son-in-law.

History[]

Before the formation of Auradon[]

      Further information: Sleeping Beauty
On the day of his daughter Aurora's baptism, after Maleficent curses the princess, the Three Good Fairies convince her to hide the princess to prevent the curse from coming true. For years, he waited to see his daughter again. On the scheduled day, his daughter pricked herself on the spindle of a spinning wheel and fell into a deep sleep, which led the Three Fairies to put the entire kingdom to sleep, including him, until they could fix it. Once Prince Phillip managed to wake up Aurora, everyone woke up too, and Stefan was later able to happily reunite with his daughter.

The Isle of the Lost: A Descendants Novel[]

Mal has a dream in which he appears, where she visualizes the day of Aurora's baptism and the moment her mother cursed the princess.

Trivia[]

  • Taylor Holmes was not the first choice for King Stefan, as Hans Conried was originally intended to voice Stefan and had performed live action reference movements as the character for the animators to draw Conried’s movesets.
  • He is the first father of a Disney princess to be alive throughout his debut film.
