Maleficent has been a top ten villain in Disney Animation lore. Yet in 2014, the live action film division of Walt Disney Studios opted to reinvent the character. Angelina Jolie was cast in the lead role. In this new iteration of the story, the historically evil Maleficent found redemption through the power of motherly love. The movie received mixed reviews yet audiences embraced the story resulting in a box office success.
Because trouble comes in all sizes.
