Synopsis

With her pointed headdress and imposing staff, the wicked fairy Maleficent is one of Disney’s most iconic and sinister villains. This modern retelling takes the animated classic Sleeping Beauty as a starting point to tell the story of how a once-good fairy became the Mistress of All Evil. The tale of Maleficent’s betrayal, the loss of her wings, and her curse on Princess Aurora adds a darker tone to the story so expect dramatic battles and incredible new creatures alongside the familiar fairy tale fantasy.

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."

- Marlon Perkins, Teacher, Whitstable and Seasalter Endowed CofE Junior School, Kent
