We continue our frequent video specials that go behind-the-scenes of this year’s biggest movies with Disney’s first feature-length, live-action redo of their 1959 animated movie SLEEPING BEAUTY, taking a look at things from the villains point of view. Angelina Jolie stars as the title character MALEFICENT in the film, which opens everywhere this week.
The untold story of Disney’s most iconic villain from the 1959 classic “Sleeping Beauty.” A beautiful, pure-hearted young woman with stunning black wings, Maleficent has an idyllic life growing up in a peaceable forest kingdom, until one day when an invading army of humans threatens the harmony of the land. Maleficent rises to be the land’s fiercest protector, but she ultimately suffers a ruthless betrayal – an act that begins to turn her pure heart to stone. Bent on revenge, Maleficent faces an epic battle with the king of the humans and, as a result, places a curse upon his newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Maleficent realizes that Aurora holds the key to peace in the kingdom – and to Maleficent’s true happiness as well.
Take a look at our five-minute featurette below, and check back tomorrow for our full review of the movie.
