Disney's most iconic villain, Maleficent, has made her way to
Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Download. Starring Academy Award-winning actress Angelina Jolie as Maleficent, the wickedly fun twist on the classic
Sleeping Beauty groseed more than $700 million at the box office worldwide. The home release includes all-new bonus features, including several deleted scenes and behind-the-scenes featurettes to take you behind the scenes of Disney's filmmaking magic. I've included one such clip below with Elle Fanning's "Aurora: Becoming A Beauty."
Maleficent explores the birth of Disney's most iconic villain. In an unforgiving mood after a neighboring kingdom threatens her forest, Maleficent (Angelina Jolie) places an irrevocable curse on the king's newborn daughter, the Princess Aurora. As the child grows, Maleficent becomes fond of the girl and as the conflict between the two realms intensifies, Maleficent realizes that Aurora may hold the key to bring peace to the land.
With top-notch acting, great music and stunning visual effects,
Maleficent is a Blu-ray disc that's worth adding to your collection, or picking up as a gift for the holidays. Although it follows the basic
Sleeping Beauty storyline, there are a few twists and turns that make it a film all its own. Definitely one of the best Disney films to day. Angelina Jolie is the perfect villain!

About The Author:
ComicBookMovie.com and Best Little Sites was the brainchild of Nate and a friend way back in 2002. Nate initially focused on the back-end programming and front-end design, but now manages the company and its associated sites as well, with a LOT of help from some very talented contributors.
Nate has loved comics from a very young age and continues to read them on a regular basis thanks to subscriptions to various titles (both Marvel and DC). He also loves movies, as his wife and children will attest. He's not overly critical of movies, so his reviews should be taken with a grain of salt as he's much more interested in being entertained and escaping the "real" world for a couple of hours than finding every conceivable plot-hole and character flaw in a film.
Outside of his guilty "nerdy" pleasures, Nate enjoys spending time with his wife and three boys, CrossFit, playing guitar, coaching youth sports and MMA (he spent a couple of years in the cage as an NHB fighter, but is now MUCH too old).
