Sleeping Beauty is a classic story, but you probably already know that Walt Disney wasn’t the first to come up with it. Today, we’re not talking about Princess Aurora, but the self described, Mistress of All Evil, the character Maleficent. Yes, she’s a wicked Queen, yet in the live action version of the story starring actress Angelina Jolie, she’s much more than just a standard enemy of the crown. We’ll take a look at some of the popular takes on this villain including “Once Upon A Time” and the “Descendants” franchise. Everyone has a favorite version, and we’ll take a look back at her origin story and different versions of the tale including the Brothers Grimm “Little Briar Rose” and Charles Perrault’s “The Sleeping Beauty in the Woods.” Because there are definitely some wild details you won’t see in any Disney versions of the character! This is the true story of a fictional being who’s a lot more complicated than she first appears. There’s a reason she’s captured so many of our imaginations and her story is a surprisingly complex one which challenges the norm when it comes to female villains.
