    • Trivia
      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.
    • Goofs
      Whenever the human Diaval's beak-like nose is backlit, we can see the shadow of Sam Riley's actual nose underneath.
    • Quotes

      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.

    • Crazy credits
      The usual Disney castle in the opening credits is replaced by the castle used in the movie.
    • Alternate versions
      German theatrical version was cut (ca. 40 seconds) by the distributor to secure a "Not under 6" rating.

    The Absence of New Ideas Reaches This Point
    "Sleeping Beauty" is a well-known classic fairytale by the Brothers Grimm perpetuated through several generations.

    "Maleficent" rewrites the tale but is not a bad movie; on the contrary, has a good story, screenplay, performances and special effects. Unfortunately it shows the present absence of new ideas from the writers that need to destroy or remake what does exist and is excellent. When it is a classic like "Sleeping Beauty", the procedure is very sad for those that have spent their lives worshiping the wonderful fairytale. My vote is eight.

    Title (Brazil): "Malévola" ("Maleficent")
