#79: Disney plot and Maleficent


The new Maleficent movie is absolutely amazing!!! I love the storyline and how (spoiler alert) she is the hero and the bad guy. Angelina Jolie was perfect as Maleficent and Elle Fanning was a good Aurora. Disney has been remaking a lot of their princess movies and a lot of them have been contradicting the earlier rendition of it. Disney had already messed with the original story of the princesses back when they first came out with the animated Cinderella followed by the other princesses, but now they have tweaked it even more. I find it kind of funny. I also find it funny that in their recent new princess movie Frozen they contradicted everything they have ever based their movies off. By bringing up the fact that a girl (Ana) can’t marry a man that she just met (Hans), Disney completely contradicted themselves. Disney basically has one plotline: Estranged, orphaned, or rebellious princess meets a guy. She finds out that this guy is a prince. She decides that it was love at first sight. Princess then decides to marry the guy she just met (her parents having little to no say in it). That is 90% of all animated Disney movies. Tell me if I am wrong.
