In an interview, the director Joachim Ronning said that he wanted to capture in Maleficent and Aurora his own feelings and concerns as a parent, and that he saw this relationship between the two characters as central to what drew him to the project.

The first "Maleficent" actually felt somewhat out of step with Disney's live-action movie strategy, offering a revisionist take -- unlike mostly dutiful remakes like "The Lion King" or "Aladdin" -- that transformed the dark fairy into the good gal, one who grew to love Aurora, a.k.a.

The activist and actress, whose next film Maleficent: Mistress of Evil will be out in October, has long balanced her film career with motherhood (to kids Maddox, 17, Pax, 15, Zahara, 14, Shiloh, 12, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 10) and her philanthropic efforts.

The character rundown includes Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Donald and Daisy Duck, Ariel and Ursula, Peter Pan and Captain Hook, Mr. Incredible and Syndrome, Aladdin and the Genie, Stitch, Alice and the Cheshire Cat, Maleficent, a better Buzz Lightyear, and a Pizza Planet Alien.

"I want to say when I was little, like Maleficent, I was told that I was different – and I felt out of place, and too loud, too full of fire, never good at sitting still, never good at fitting in," she said at the time.

Director James Bobin took over from Tim Burton, with a script by Disney go-to fantasy scribe Linda Woolverton (Beauty and the Beast, Alice in Wonderland, Maleficent) — but unlike Burton's Alice, Looking Glass borrowed virtually nothing from Lewis Carroll's surrealistic source material, save its characters.

While promoting her upcoming film Maleficent: Mistress of Evil with her costars Michelle Pfeiffer, Elle Fanning, and Chiwetel Ejiofor, the actress spoke to PEOPLE about her evolving relationship with Fanning's character and how it will be different than from the original movie in 2014.

The Maleficent: Mistress of Evil actress, who has been open about her own cancer scares in the past, spent time with young patients and their families on Saturday, and also met with doctors to discuss the latest discoveries in breast and ovarian cancer research.

And, 22 years later ... the now 44-year-old humanitarian and mother of six children stuns in a well-deserved crown as she does press for her sequel Disney film, "Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil" -- which premiered this weekend -- in London, England just last week (right).
|
|
Rather than Maleficent, the aforementioned "Mistress of Evil," these two knuckleheads are forced to contend with biological warfare, class conflict, near genocide, and a handful of other events that are simultaneously way out of their league and a bit too dark for a princess story.
|
|
Jolie is just as fantastic as she was in the first film, but Maleficent spends far too much time watching two fae leaders — bellicose Borra (Ed Skrein) and diplomatic Conall (Chiwetel Ejiofor) — debate the merits of war and peace without contributing anything to the conflict herself.

" WATCH: What the New Ruling Means in the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Custody Case The Maleficent 123's attorney said the actress will "honor that loan," but said, "A loan is not, however, child support and to represent it as such is misleading and inaccurate.

Pitt has kept a low profile in the past two years, while Jolie has recently been filming a sequel to fairytale drama "Maleficent" in London and directed a 2017 film about the 1970s Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia in which more than one million people died.

Autechre have always operated more like Cinderella's evil stepsisters, stuffing voluminous, maleficent, and yes, occasionally incredibly beautiful, music into glassine containers that can barely hold them—the excess spilling over the sides only to be scooped up, repurposed and issued into the world in their own right.

She is joined by cast members including Donnie Yen, Jason Scott Lee, and Yoson An.

Angelina Jolie Steps Out With Her Kids to the Toronto Film Festival Jolie recently wrapped up filming for Maleficent 2 alongside Elle Fanning and Michelle Pfeiffer, a sequel to her blockbuster 2014 movie that raked in more than more than $750 million worldwide and earned praise for Jolie.
|
|
Jolie's Sunday stop at the film festival wasn't just about supporting The Breadwinner, which she also produced — the actress-turned-director took part in a public conversation about her career later in the day, where she talked about how her kids helped her find her wicked voice for Maleficent.

Last week, a judge presiding over Pitt and Angelina Jolie's divorce proceedings established a detailed schedule for the actor to spend time with Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, and 9-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox, who reside with Jolie as she films Maleficent 2 in London.

Unlike many countries around the world, countries in the Middle East are not able to benefit from Israel's innovation and creativity in many of these areas — water desalination and conservation; technology; its expertise in countering the destabilizing effects of terrorism; and Iranian maleficent military exploits, to name a few.

While the road was slightly rockier than the studio would like to admit, the division's strategy of focusing on new versions of classic Disney animated tales led to such hits — at least in terms of finances — as Alice in Wonderland (22016), Maleficent (22), and, most recently, The Jungle Book.

She is joined by cast members including Donnie Yen, Jason Scott Lee, and Yoson An. The live-action Mulan comes after the success of previous live-action remakes from Disney, including Aladdin, Maleficent (the live-action reimagining of Sleeping Beauty), Beauty and the Beast, Alice in Wonderland and Cinderella.

It's also the fucking funniest thing I've ever seen – that is, Madonna, in a cape-cum-instrument-of-destruction, looking like she's cosplaying Maleficent at a community centre Halloween fundraiser, stacking it down some steps with the grace of 30 bricks of shit onstage at the literal 2015 BRIT Awards.
|
|
And while Maleficent has been established as a franchise that cares first and foremost about women, it offers a warm celebration of male allyship via Sam Riley's doting raven shapeshifter Diaval (as delightful here as he was in the first film) and an appreciably humble, good-natured take on Prince Phillip.
|
|
In addition, Disney revealed scenes from Marvel movie "Black Widow" and a live-action re-telling of "Mulan," brought Angelina Jolie on stage to talk about "Maleficent: Mistress of Evil," and announced "Game of Thrones" star Kit Harington was joining the cast of superhero flick "The Eternals," which also stars Jolie.

Earlier in June, a judge presiding over the actor and Angelina Jolie's divorce proceedings established a detailed schedule for the actor to spend time with Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, and 9-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox, who reside with Jolie as she films Maleficent 2 in London.

Available in stores and online starting on May 1 for $4 each, the official reveal confirms the new collection will also include Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Alice, the Cheshire Cat, Peter Pan, Captain Hook, Maleficent, Ariel, Ursula, the Genie, Aladdin, Stitch, Buzz Lightyear, and Pizza Planet Alien.

The pure, oozing embarrassment in this dunk is a molten core of gross, sticky, burbling lava, around which a world of maleficent grey and pink dust has formed, an out-of-place ball of shame floating up in the heavens, disconcerting anyone unlucky enough to view it through a telescope.

While the 18-year-old didn't accompany his mom and four youngest siblings — twins Knox and Vivienne, 11, Shiloh, 13, and Zahara, 14 — to the London premiere of her new film, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, the actress still couldn't help expressing her pride for Maddox on the red carpet Wednesday.

|
The footwear pool wasn't limited to textbook classics, like Louboutins and Choos, either: Lemay showed off her knowledge by fashioning illustrations of industry-favorite brands like Sophia Webster (for Megara from Hercules) and Casadei (for Anna from Frozen), and referencing styles from season's past, like Balenciaga's thorn sandals (for Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty).
|
|
Meanwhile in recent years, Jolie took on a few high-salaried blockbusters like Salt and Maleficent, and directed Unbroken, but mostly focused on her own, less commercial directorial projects like In the Land of Blood and Honey, By the Sea, and her upcoming Netflix movie about the Cambodian genocide, First They Killed My Father.
|
|
"Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween Party" sets up a premise where Ooogie Boogie, as "monster of scare-e-monies" unleashes onto the park a sea of classic Disney Villains like Ursula (The Little Mermaid), Maleficent (Sleeping Beauty), the Evil Queen (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs), and the Shadow Man (Princess and the Frog).
|
|
And though motherly female love should never double for lesbianism—both can and should exist concurrently—there was still something gloriously subversive about Angelina Jolie playing the witch-queen of 2014's Maleficent, reframing Sleeping Beauty around the maternal bond the villain feels for Aurora, the girl she curses in a misguided attempt at protection.
|
|
For example, Disney's Maleficent — by all accounts a passable, if unambitious twist on Sleeping Beauty — handily crushed Dawn of the Planet of the Apes at the summer 2014 box office, and continued a series of live action versions of Disney classics that remain popular today (the recent Beauty and the Beast trailer is the most watched in history).
|
|
Few probably would have guessed that Kristin Chenoweth, Wendy Raquel Robinson and Kathy Najimy were ideal choices for the roles of Maleficent, Cruella de Vil and the Evil Queen, respectively, but hey – the right cast and a good, fun take on these classics means that Disney can run all these adaptations parallel to each other just fine.

Frustrated by the pressure to be royally perfect as a lady of the court in idyllic Auradon, Mal (Dove Cameron), the daughter of Maleficent, returns to the Isle of the Lost, where her archenemy, Uma (China Anne McClain), the daughter of Ursula the sea witch, has roused her pirate gang to unleash all the imprisoned villains.
|
|
Still, she’s a good sport about it and agrees to have dinner with Phillip’s parents, King John (Robert Lindsay) and Queen Ingrith (Michelle Pfeiffer.) Unfortunately, the royal figureheads waste no time putting all four of their feet into their mouths, insulting Maleficent and sending her into an excessive-yet-dazzling rage over appetizers.
|
|
The 10-and-under set will no doubt be eager to pick up the story of Mal (Dove Cameron), the daughter of Maleficent, who in the first movie was chosen along with three of her friends to leave the island prison where all things evil have been confined and go to school in Auradon, where the nonwicked live.

The actor, 54, is in London now — where ex Angelina Jolie is currently filming Maleficent 2 — to see his children for a second time in recent weeks after a judge presiding over the former couple's divorce proceedings established a detailed schedule for him to spend time with Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, and 9-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.

Tiffany Haddish isn't funny enough as Madam's daughter Leila to justify her too-modern and out-of-place performance, Carmen Ejogo reads her villainous lines like a Maleficent impersonator, and the rest of the cast is easily slotted into one of many stock black stereotypes that have no place in a show that ostensibly intends to celebrate and uplift its characters.
|
|
The Blonds is known for its intricate show-stopping designs (Rihanna, Gwen Stefani and Nicki Minaj have all performed in pieces by the brand), and for its latest show during New York Fashion Week on Friday, the brand reimagined the outfits worn by Cruella de Vil, Maleficent, Ursula and many more Disney antagonists for an electrifying runway show, which also marked Disney's first-ever villains franchise.

Before he starts filming his latest movie, Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Pitt is visiting London thanks to a court-mandated schedule that allows him to spend time with his children, who live full-time with mom Angelina Jolie as she films Maleficent 2 in the U.K. A judge involved in Pitt and Jolie's divorce proceedings stated in court documents obtained by PEOPLE on Tuesday that it's "critical" for each of the kids to have a "healthy and strong relationship with their father" and that the actress could lose full custody of Maddox, 16, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, and 9-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox if they are prevented from properly bonding with their dad.
