Here are a few lessons we can all learn from Maleficent:

  • everyone is searching for belonging and connection
  • the villain of the story is not always obvious
  • love is life-changing and comes in many forms

Maleficent is one of the most well-known and iconic villains in the world of fairy tales.

She first appeared in Sleeping Beauty in 1959, and since then, she has become a symbol of evil and wickedness in the world of storytelling.

Her character has undergone many changes and adaptations over the years, but she remains one of the most recognizable and popular villains of all time.

When the Maleficent movie came out in 2014, I couldn’t wait to take my daughter (who had been watching Sleeping Beauty her entire life).

I just kept pleading with the universe that they would do the movie justice and not ruin a good thing.

I had never considered the possibility that Maleficent would be even more than I ever imagined; it was perfection.

I remember sitting in the theater, bawling during all the scenes when Maleficent’s heart breaks because of the pain she caused.

This is the one person she loves in this world, and not only did she cause it, but she couldn’t stop it.

My friend there with her daughter looked at my sniveling face with a few tears in her eyes, and I could hear all the other mothers in the theater crying too.

We all felt that right in the gut, and it was so hard.

Directed by Robert Stromberg, the film stars Angelina Jolie in the title role as the iconic villain. It takes a closer look at the character’s motivations and backstory, offering a new perspective on the classic tale.

The movie is entertaining and emotionally engaging thanks to a powerful lead performance by Jolie and the stunning visuals.

These Maleficent quotes about her relationship with Aurora don’t do them any justice without Angelina Jolie’s acting, but they are some of my favorites.

Which of these Maleficent quotes is your favorite?

Maleficent received mixed reviews from critics, which I find impossible because it was perfect.

Critics praised Jolie’s performance, costumes, visual effects, and musical score while criticizing the script and some tone inconsistencies.

Maleficent was a commercial success.

It was Jolie’s highest-grossing film.

And it was the fourth highest-grossing movie of 2014, coming in at over $758 million worldwide.

The film also earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Costume Design at the 87th Academy Awards.

A sequel, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, was released in 2019, with Jolie and Elle fanning reprising their roles.

Once again, the film focused on the relationship between Aurora and Maleficent while challenging the typical fairy tale structure of good and evil.

What did you think of Maleficent and the sequel, Mistress of Evil?
