Maleficent is a fairy but notably resembles more of a harpy, the hybrid, winged creature from the Greek and Roman mythologies with the parts of a woman and a bird. See more »

Shots of Aurora as a baby arriving at the cottage for the first time show she is wrapped in the king's cloak. The basket is carried inside, but in a subsequent shot, we see that the same shot of the baby in the basket is used (with the cloak). When the camera angle changes the cloak is gone. See more »

Narrator:
Let us tell an old story anew, and we will see how well you know it. Once upon a time, there were two kingdoms that were the worst of neighbors. So vast was the discord between them that it was said only a great hero or a terrible villain might bring them together. In one kingdom lived folk like you and me, with a vain and greedy king to rule over them. They were forever discontent, and envious of the wealth and beauty of their neighbors, For in the other kingdom, the Moors, lived ...

People get murdered, smashed and fatally wounded- but all you guys are focusing on is the sub-textual rape. It's weird how in America you can kill a guy on TV or in a movie and it's okay for kids to see, but god forbid you do anything that may imply sex....
This movie is for feminists, by feminists. A feminist's "wet dream" if you will.
All men are bad and they should feel bad. All men will rape you, no matter how much you think they love you. All men will rape you, no matter if they're your best or only friend since childhood.
All female characters are good and kind (even when they're not). All male characters are evil and cruel.
The one human female we see is good and kind- not a trace of negativity. Every human male we see is cruel and evil, without exception. We never even see a magical male being- only magical beings of indiscernible sex and clearly female magical beings.
Not one single male character is portrayed as being truly good or kind.
Can we stop pretending that women are perfect and infallible? We're all the same, we all suck.
This movie had a chance to be good, but someone took a huge feminist dump all over the idea. I'd choose 0 out of 10, but I can't.
Feminism = equality for women and women alone (modern feminism is about gaining superiority over men). Egalitarianism = true equality. Be an egalitarian, not an asshole.
