In the original movie, the only reason why Maleficent wanted to kill Princess Aurora was because she didn't get invited to a party. I just find it to be hilarious in KH because she had captured the PoH, and nearly plunged all the worlds into darkness all because she didn't get invited to a party lol. Poor Malefy 

apparently parties are important to her.

Maybe she has some tragic emotional backstory that makes her character one of the most relatable ones in Disney history....

nah, missing a party is serious business. 

The little things make people do what they do.

I wasn't invited to a few parties on my life too... So yep, time to plunge all the worlds into darkness because of that 

That better have been the best freaking party in all the worlds...

It's not really the party that matters to her: it's the snub. Malificent believes that she is the best thing in the world, and that all should either love or fear her (preferably both). To not invite her to a large social gathering, such as the unveiling of the princess, is to indicate that she can be overlooked, and for Maleficient, that line of thought is inexcusable and unforgivable. Thus, she threatens to kill Aurora to make a firm statement that she is the first person that everyone should be focused on before they do anything, and secures power over them.

Do we have any evidence that the same is true for the KH Maleficent?

Aerith died in the original Final Fantasy 7, but she sure is alive and kickin' in KH...

Did I miss the part in the original Lion King where Scar turned into a heartless and had to be defeated by Sora?

The worlds are different. The characters have a very very different continuity...

It could also be possible that Aerith isn't dead simply because all this "happened" before she died.

No... it's pretty clear that's not going to happen. What is clear is that something happened with Zack, not Aerith. But that's beside the point...

I meant the ENTIRE KH franchise happening before FF 7 even takes place. Even Saga 2.Just throwing out plausible possibilities.

Probably. They're making a movie that tells Maleficent's backstory.
