Maleficent

Maleficent

A film in which you can look at the witch thief from the fairy tale "Sleeping Beauty" in a slightly different way. Maleficent is a sorceress who always tried to maintain peace between the human race and the forest folk. That person will always find a reason to become a scourge of nature by his actions. And this time, when the residents of one of the kingdoms near the witch's forest dwelling threaten the green apartments with destruction, the woman has to act. Maleficent puts a curse on Aurora, the king's daughter, who is at the mercy of the threat to the forest thickets. Over the years, it becomes clear to the witch that it is Aurora who can be the salvation for both of the opposing sides.

In the animated version of the fairy tale, the image of the sorceress who cast a spell on the king's daughter was slightly altered. In Charles Pierrot's original fairy tale, it was an offended fairy. However, almost the entire visual image was taken from the original cartoon, with some changes in appearance and clothing. In addition, the animated film gave Robert Stromberg's "The Witcher" the song "Once Upon a Dream", which was performed by Lana Del Rey at Jolie's request. Filming began in June 2012, before coming to the finalization of scenes with computer graphics, which is not so rare in the Maleficent fantasy. It became known in 2011 that B. Pitt's wife will play the sorceress. At the same time, the Disney bosses fixed director Tim Burton in the chair, who later left the project. He was replaced by Stromberg, who is primarily known as the production designer for Alice in Wonderland (2010) and Oz: The Great and Terrible (2013). The largest budget in the history of the Disney studio was allocated for the production of "The Witch". Before that, the record holder was "Tron: Legacy".
