In Maleficent 2, Aurora is engaged to Prince Phillip and is invited for dinner to introduce Maleficent to her new family. The audience is aware from the start that Queen Ingrith is the villain and a battle between the 2 kingdoms then ensues.
I think the make-up and set were very dynamic and cleverly thought out. My particular favourite setting has to be the moors. In my opinion Leaf (one of the tree people) is one of the most noble characters, for putting the lives of others before his own.
The conclusion of the film consists on the biggest battle between Maleficent's kind and the humans that were controlled by the evil Queen Ingrith. A battle like this one doesn't usually appear in the life of a fairy tale, but it deemed the only way to find peace to both kingdoms.
This is a film I think to be enjoyable for the whole family, because it is action packed and has adorable fairy tale creatures. I recommend this film because it is cleverly thought out and has a lot to give, and is far more than just a fairy tale.
