1) Maleficent was once a kind fairy who lived in the woods until she had her wings cut off by a boy, Stefan, who she loved. This caused her to become bitter and vengeful. 2) As an adult, Stefan becomes king and has a daughter, Aurora. Maleficent, seeking revenge, curses the baby Aurora to prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die on her 16th birthday. 3) However, Maleficent grows fond of Aurora and tries to lift the curse, but it may be too late. The film explores the perspective of Maleficent rather than the traditional telling from the viewpoint of the heroes.

2. Maleficent
...was once a little fairy. She lived in the woods with all the other figures.
She was a beautiful girl. She had long, brown hair, horns on her head and a big,
pair of wings on her back.
As a person she was very kind to everyone and she looked at life with a
positive view. At first she was a good person,
but things changed and after a special incident,
she becomes “evil”.
The whole story depends on your perspective
about good and evil.

3. The movie “Maleficent” comes from the original
Disney movie (and book) “Törnrosa” from 1959.
In this animated movie you follow, as in mostly all
cases, the “good” side of the story. They want you to
think one thing is right and the other wrong.
But this time they decided to show the film with
another view, the “evil” ones, and also this time it
isn’t animated.

4. The main characters:
Maleficent: The fairy who the whole story is about.
She grows up and becomes an “evil” person.
Aurora: The king’s daughter. She’s a princess but a
different one, not like all the others. She loves
everyone and she looks at everything with a positive
view.
Stefan: The boy who Maleficent
was in love with when they were
young. He’s obsessed about power
and wealth. He did everything he
could to become the king of the
land. He’s selfish.

5. What’s the story about?
Maleficent was a little fairy. She lived in the woods with all the other figures.
She fell in love with a Prince who lived in the other side of the land. The boy
was obsessed about power. One day he decided to take Maleficent’s wings.
He disappeared and started a new life in his part of the land. Maleficent was
now lonely, without wings and with a broken heart. After this, she started to
become evil…
Time passed by and they both grew up...

6. The Prince grew up and became a king. His love for Maleficent was still there,
but after he took her wings without her permission he couldn’t be with her.
And she couldn’t love the man who did this to her.
The King, Stefan, built another family and after a while he got a daughter. And
her name was Princess Aurora. Angry as Maleficent was, she spelled a curse
on the baby which could only be lifted with true love.

7. But at somehow, Maleficent had a deep love to this child. She
always walked by her side and watched her. And also Aurora
seemed to feel the same about her. After many years, Maleficent
Regretted her spell but was it too late now? Did even “real” or “true
love”exist?
