Line 41:
* In the [[Disney]] adaptation of ''[[Sleeping Beauty (Disney film)|Sleeping Beauty]]'', this is justified in that Merriweather was actually augmenting Maleficent's "die on her [[Dangerous Sixteenth Birthday]]" curse. She wasn't strong enough to negate it, but she could provide an out.
* Disney's ''[[Beauty and the Beast]]'' had the enchantress give the stipulation that if the Beast could learn to love someone selflessly, and have his love returned by the time the petals fall off a magical rose, the spell would be broken. Possibly to Teach Him A Lesson but her motives aren't revealed.
* Disney's adaptation of ''[[Hercules (1997 film)||Hercules]]'' involved a deal made between Hercules and Hades where Hercules would give his powers up for 24 hours in exchange for the safety of his [[Love Interest]] Megara. After a fight between Hercules and the Cyclops, a pillar was knocked onto Meg, killing her. As a result, Hercules' powers were restored.
* In ''[[Shrek]],'' Princess Fiona is cursed from a young age to transform into an ogre at sunset and return to her human form at sunrise. It can only be undone by [[True Love's Kiss]]—but when this kiss comes from the titular male ogre, she finds herself permanently stuck in her night form, for better or for worse.
** Fun trivia? In the original storyboards, the "night" form was her NATURAL form! She was actually under an enchantment to be beautiful during the day. This makes sense, in light of her father being a frog.
