Maleficent

Just back from watching Maleficent with two children and one young adult -- this is Disney's new Sleeping Beauty, told from the point of view of the angry fairy who casts the curse. We all found it entertaining. It's low-key, not much drama or tension, but amazing to look at. Not to ruin it for you, but the message seems to be that no handsome prince could possibly love you as much as your mother does.

But let me just say that I want wings. I want to fly like Maleficent does. I want my wings to have been stolen away by an evil wizard and locked up in a tower and I want to go on a great quest to retrieve them so that I can fly again.
