Long ago, two rival kingdoms sat side by side: the human kingdom, ruled by a power-hungry king, and the Moors, a peaceful place inhabited by many gentle supernatural creatures. One resident of the Moors is Maleficent (Isobelle Molloy), a young fairy girl with enormous wings, who acts as a guardian for the other magical beings.

Maleficent begins to admit that her hatred for Stefan does not extend to Aurora. Emerging from the blind rage she felt when the princess was a baby, Maleficent now sees that Aurora is a good, innocent person undeserving of such a harsh fate. Feeling guilty, she puts a temporary sleeping spell on the girl and transports her into the Moors. When Aurora wakes, she is enchanted by the beautiful fairy kingdom and shows no fear when Maleficent makes her presence known. Aurora happily explains that she recognizes Maleficent from several incidents in her childhood and believes Maleficent is her fairy godmother. Without explaining the truth, Maleficent spends the evening getting to know the victim of her own curse. After returning Aurora to her cottage home to sleep, Maleficent attempts to retract the curse, but she had made it too powerful to be undone. Diaval reminds her that true love's kiss can still break the spell, but Maleficent admits she added it as a false hope because she believed it did not exist.

I don't feel like this was intentional, but I wonder if anyone thought to give this a sensitivity glance-over? I'm not comfortable with the way an entire society of largely-minority-represented magical beings was reduced to two, /highly/ questionably worded, paragraphs. a b c Fleming, Mike Jr. (June 15, 2015).

Un detalle tierno que no se puede dejar pasar es que el padre de Maleficent se refiere a ella como 'su bella durmiente'. She appears in Kingdom Hearts Union χ (2017) fulfilling the same role as in Birth by Sleep, as an image of the future events. After her defeat, she meets the Darkness, who tells her about her future.

Having lost her ability to fly, Maleficent frees a captured raven in a nearby field and gives him the power to transform into a man. She recruits this raven-man, Diaval (Sam Riley) to serve as her "wings" in exchange for having saved his life. She declares herself ruler of the Moors, infusing her surroundings with dark magic and pitting herself once and for all against Stefan, ruler of the human kingdom. Maleficent's past is explored in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep (2010), where she appears on her home world, Enchanted Dominion, fulfilling the same role as in Sleeping Beauty. [21]Hubo dos cosas que me gustaron particularmente de este librito: una son las descripciones de los lugares y seres mágicos, y otra es que la escritora agregó algunas cositas de cosecha propia. La historia comienza antes de la película, vemos a un niño pastor con su padre (cada vez que hablaban lo leía en mi mente con acento escocés) y también conocemos a Maleficent de bebé, poco antes de la muerte de sus padres. On June 3, 2014, following the release of the first film, Angelina Jolie hinted that a sequel to Maleficent was a possibility. [14] On June 15, 2015, Walt Disney Pictures announced that the sequel was in the works and that Linda Woolverton would return to write the screenplay for the film. [15] Although Jolie's return to the sequel was not yet certain, the script was intended to be written with her in mind. [15] In addition, Joe Roth was reported to return as producer of the film. [15] On April 25, 2016, Disney officially confirmed Jolie's return as the title character. [16] On August 29, 2017, it was reported that Jez Butterworth would rewrite Woolverton's script while Roth was confirmed as returning as producer. [17] In September 2017, Jolie stated that they "have been working on the script and this is going to be a really strong sequel." [18] On October 3, 2017, Deadline reported that the film would be directed by Joachim Rønning and it would start filming in the first quarter of 2018. [19] Casting [ edit ] The character was animated by Marc Davis who also animated Aurora in the film. She was aptly named "Maleficent" (an adjective which means "doing evil or harm"). [7] In determining Maleficent's design, standard depictions of witches and hags were dismissed as Davis has opted for an elegant, sinister, green-skinned beauty, depicted as "vain femme fatale, utilizing a classic archetype of a bad woman." [8] According to Davis, Maleficent "was designed like a giant vampire bat to create a feeling of menace." [9] Disney+'s New Releases Coming in May". The Hollywood Reporter. 25 April 2020.
