Disney's Maleficent hit the theaters May 30 and was a big success in the box office. On opening day, the movie earned a good $70M and was the debut of Angelina Jolie's box-office career. As one of the worlds biggest Disney Freaks, I believe that I can justly claim that the movie was great. Though the movie strayed greatly from the 1959 Disney cartoon of Sleeping Beauty, it also created in itself, its own story. In other words, the surprises you will obtain from the movie's plot is so vastly different from the fairy tale we were once told, that we have room in our hearts to believe both versions equally as much as the other. There is enough room in the magical world of Disney for us to hold both tales in our hearts and claim both to be equally as magical. The story is told from the side of Maleficent, which ironically created a loving and caring tone. Though it was confusing who the true villain was, it also revealed the potential of good and bad in all of us, thus sending a good message about making the right choices from love and not from hurt. Angelina Jolie was the absolute perfect actress for the role as she was a very majestic and captivating Maleficent. Elle Fanning was a great Princess Aurora, always happy as her role defines to be, and the rest of the cast was equally as amazing as the two leads. Before I reveal the entire movie, though, all I can say is that I highly recommend the film and promise you the satisfaction of a truly magical experience.
Until next time!
