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!
