They took out much of the violence and sexual tones to make a "family-friendly" story, so to speak. Ironically, Walt Disney Studios is starting to reinsert the sexual undertones, into the live-action remakes. The beginning of Maleficent was full of sexual undertones.... Stefan's "true love's kiss", and the cutting of Maleficent's wings.

I did not see the movie (but read spoilers), but I still don't understand how Stefan's "true love's kiss" was a sexual undertone. As for Maleficent's wings being cut off, I'm not sure if I'm understanding this correctly, lol. Maleficent's loss of wings makes her lose her innocence and become evil. Was that scene trying to draw a similarity between that and loss of virginity, which in some kinds of lore is associated with loss of purity/innocence?
