Maleficent.
Every curse has a story behind it.
Betrayed by someone she trusted, a powerful fairy curses a king's newborn daughter. As Aurora grows up, Maleficent's attachment to the child begins to challenge the anger that shaped her spell.

A visually rich retelling that shifts attention toward the relationship between two women. Its changing view of a familiar villain invites discussion about anger, care and making amends.
BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY
Know the story.
Know your little people.
A woman is drugged and has her wings cut off, largely off screen. Battles, a curse on a baby, frightening creatures and a fatal fall make this a dark fairy tale.
Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
