It seems to me that current re imaginings of the fairy tale animated movies done by Disney in the past, will look to modernize the stories as much as possible. This past year we saw one of the most beloved villains of the Disney world become a hero, as her story is told in a whole new light. Watching a show like Once Upon A Time quite regularly, one tends to see these classic tales in different perspectives. For the purpose of the show, it works to create new and exciting story lines. In the case of Maleficent, I felt it makes for a great redemption tale, as the titular character will indeed go through various challenges that will change her. It seemed clear from the beginning that Angelina Jolie was a perfect choice to play the iconic character. However, the rest of the cast also delivered with Elle Fanning's sweetness lighting up Aurora and another intense Sharlto Copley role. While the CGI did bother me with the fairies when they were in their flying forms, the overall result was very eye-pleasing. Much has been said about this movie's message and how it affects young woman who like this sort of movie. I, personally, found the movie entertaining and at least it does inspire woman with confidence. As for the male characters, they are what's expected of them in a film like this and I guess we will have to accept it.
