We all heard about the much anticipated Disney movie Maleficent, which is actually a remake of the film Sleeping Beauty with a modern twist. In this film, it is beautifully shown that true love can not only happen between two opposite genders. Love has no boundaries. But there are some behind the scene facts in this movie. Here they are, enjoy:
#1.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, played young Aurora, and was the only kid who wasn't scared of her.
#2.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).
#3.Angelina Jolie did the stunts herself using harnesses for her flight and battle scenes.
#4.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.
#5.Angelina Jolie herself picked Lana Del Rey to sing Beauty (1959)'s ''Once Upon a Dream'' for the end credits.
#6.Maleficent's magic changes colour. When she is good, her magic is gold and when she is evil, her magic is green.
#7.The board game played by the three fairies is an actual game called nine-men's morris, which dates from ancient times and was very popular in medieval England.
#8.Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, who portrays Princess Aurora as a young girl, is the daughter of Angelina Jolie (who plays Maleficent in the movie) and Brad Pitt.
#9.Angelina Jolie was definitely interested to be in the movie to begin with. She repeatedly stated it was because (i) she grew up on Disney movies as a child, especially Sleeping Beauty (1959); she was quite fond of the character Maleficent: ''Since I was a little girl, Maleficent was always my favorite,'' Jolie said. ''I was terrified of her, but I was also drawn to her. I wanted to know more about her. She had this elegance and grace, yet she was wonderfully, deliciously cruel,'' (ii) she wanted to do a movie in which her children can go see her in, as well as the fact that her children really also wanted her to be in the movie, (iii) the beauty, warmth, complexity, and strong intelligence of the script, and (iv) she was very impressed with Maleficent's characterization for this film. In fact, Jolie also served as an executive producer on the film.
#10.The film was released on May 30, 2014, the day of the 55th anniversary of Walt Disney's classic Sleeping Beauty (1959).
#11.In order to give the the fairies a proper feeling of featherweight and agility, the three actresses who performs the fairies, Lesley Manville, Imelda Staunton and Juno Temple, spent three weeks filming motion capture, while being guided by artists of Cirque du Soleil. Lesley Manville called this experience ''just fantastic''.
#12.Maleficent's crow companion is named Diaval (pronounced similarly to 'devil') and in the Disney cartoon version of Sleeping Beauty (1959), Maleficent's crow companion is named Diablo which means the same. In Irish lore crows are associated with the winged battle goddesses the Morrigan (they sound similar, as well, to Maleficent). In most all other lore crows are associated with death, the dead, and trickery. Thus, they can be ''devilish'' birds.
#13.Angelina Jolie first live action film role since The Tourist (2010), four years earlier.
#14.This film had the largest budget ever for a first-time director, Robert Stromberg, surpassing another Disney film, TRON: Legacy (2010)
#15.In June 2015 it was announced there will be a sequel to this film.
#16.Maleficent is a fairy but notably resembles more of a harpy, the hybrid, winged creature from the Greek and Roman mythologies with the parts of a woman and a bird.
#17.Vivienne Jolie-Pitt was chosen to play young Aurora because the director knew she would not be frightened by Maleficent because she knew it was her mother
#18.Maleficent says to Aurora, ''Hello, Beastie''; which Jack Sparrow also says to the Kraken in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006).
