The bond between the two women is tested when Aurora accepts a proposal from her beloved Prince Philip of neighboring Ulstead. When Philip's mother, Queen Ingrith , demands that Aurora and Maleficent attend a celebratory family engagement dinner at Ulstead castle, Maleficent tries to be cordial -- until Ingrith openly insults her and the Moorfolk. In a moment of chaos, King John appears to be cursed by Maleficent, so Ingrith declares war on the Moorfolk. Meanwhile, Maleficent flees and is nearly shot down, only to be saved by fellow winged dark fae who've been hiding from humans for generations. Maleficent must decide whether to join her fellow fae to fight or to seek peace with the humans.The movie never seems to lose sight of the emotional core:the relationship between Maleficent and Aurora. They might not be on the same page for much of the film, but it cannot be questioned that Maleficent deeply loves and cares for Aurora, something Ingrith winds up exploiting. A really enjoyable movie to watch as well as beautiful costumes and scenery and never forgetting that dramatic music in the background!! Awesome!!
