Maleficent is a retelling of Sleeping Beauty, but from the perspective of the so-called villain, Maleficent, played by Angelina Jolie. The movie explores the reasons behind Maleficent's bitterness and resentment towards the kingdom, which leads her to curse the infant princess Aurora. While the film's direction and score may be lackluster, Jolie's performance is captivating, with her makeup-enhanced features and eerie appearance. The film's story delves into the emerging post-'Wicked' genre, the revisionist-backstory fairytale, and the moments that are profoundly disturbing, with a primordial edge that the clumsy filmmaking can't blunt. The movie can be quite dark and may frighten younger children, with violent action sequences between the kingdom and the magical creatures of the moors. Characters die, or look dead, and Maleficent is an intimidating figure, which can be upsetting when her wings are cut off. However, the movie's overall message about redemption and love is positive, and it gives Maleficent more depth and context that can help kids sympathize with her. As long as children can handle the battles, they'll probably enjoy this new take on a classic Disney villain.

On the second day of the Disney D23 Expo at the Anaheim Convention Center, Saturday, 10 August 2013, Angelina Jolie admitted that she scared little kids while in costume on the set of Maleficent, with one kid actually saying, "Mommy, please get the mean witch to stop talking to me." She adds that her daughter, Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, who played young Aurora, was the only child who was not scared of her.
Angelina Jolie worked very closely with the costume and make-up designers to develop Maleficent's menacing look. Disney executives objected, hoping to take advantage of Jolie's beauty in marketing the film, but the actress insisted that the character maintain the scarier look of the animated incarnation from Sleeping Beauty (1959).
Angelina Jolie based her character's speech and accent in homage of the original Sleeping Beauty (1959)'s Maleficent voice actor Eleanor Audley. Her laughter in the film was also based on the best variation she tried in front of her children and chosen by them.
Maleficent's magic changes colour. When she is good, her magic is gold and when she is evil, her magic is green.
Angelina Jolie admitted that she still has the pair of horns at home.
"Maleficent: [before kissing Aurora to awaken her from her enchanted sleep] I will not ask your forgiveness because what I have done to you is unforgivable. I was so lost in hatred and revenge. Sweet Aurora, you stole what was left of my heart. And now I have lost you forever. I swear, no harm will come to you as long as I live. And not a day shall pass that I don't miss your smile."
"Princess Aurora: I know who you are. Maleficent: Do you? Princess Aurora: You're my fairy godmother! Maleficent: What?"
