Maleficent and her goddaughter Aurora begin to question the complex family ties that bind them as they are pulled in different directions by impending nuptials, unexpected allies and dark new forces at play.
Five peaceful years have passed since the demise of the duplicitous monarch, King Stefan, in Maleficent (2014), and now, an unforeseen but joyous event is about to unite the mortal kingdom of Ulstead and the fairy-realm of the enchanted Moors. However, once more, odious treason stands in the way of true young love, as malicious envy, unbounded ambition and ignoble thoughts creep in the hearts of men. Now, two neighboring worlds find themselves divided by fear and prejudice, and, sadly, the impending union paves the way for an all-out confrontation. Suddenly, the magnificent winged sprite, Maleficent, and the lovely Princess Aurora are caught in the middle. Does love always end well?Written by

In the trailer, Maleficent's magic is green, which in the previous Maleficent (2014), was only the case if she was evil. While it could be editing to throw the audience off, it could indicate Maleficent has turned down a dark path. See more »
Goofs
In the first movie, Maleficent cursed Aurora, not the spinning wheel spindle, and the curse ended with True Love's Kiss. Therefore, it's impossible for the spindle to be cursed in this movie. See more »
On the international trailers, against a daytime sky, we see Maleficent's castle in the 2011 Disney logo. The camera zooms in and later tilts 90° counter-clockwise. The US, Canadian, and YouTube versions of the trailer still using the normal logo. Meanwhile on the actual film, as the 2011 Disney logo finishes, the camera moves in an upper right direction, panning away from the logo. See more »
Alternate Versions
The film's ScreenX release presented the film in ultra-widescreen meaning there was more picture information visible in the left and right of the frame than in normal theaters and on home video. See more »
Loving the departure from the boring first movie, because this one punched more actions (PG of course) better and with more lovely mythical creatures.
Great set designs, costumes, and cinematography albeit bit boring in the middle and finale.
