Let me start by saying that I am a female, 22 years old, and probably one of the biggest Disney fans out there. Second, I found "Maleficent" to be an amazing movie as far as the effects, costumes, and make up go. But that is about it. From the opening lines of the movie, man is portrayed as greedy and wicked. Emotions of sympathy and compassion are stirred for the character that is traditionally thought of as evil. Parents are not to be trusted. They are really the "evil in the world." And the one force that is "true love," lied to the princess and killed others. Why did Disney allow the traditional values of Sleeping Beauty to be twisted? Good is evil and evil is good. Why? Unfortunately, the movie has a feminist agenda ( what can be expected when Angelina Jolie is the star and executive producer ). Ironically, traditional values are now attacked and considered the "wrong" view. Liberal views are the only "right" perspective.
