We're all *** on this website anyway. I played a Blue Mage for years who devoured the souls of animals and used their signature techniques while wielding a curved blade and a turban.
Your friends at the NSA/Homeland security would like to have a few words with you.

I always thought Angelia was moderately attractive. Attractive yes, but not "Oh wow *drooool*", but I'll say she looks really damn good in this movie.

What do you guys think? There is a lot of powerful imagery in that trailer; is Disney taking another step into desensitizing our kids towards sorcery and witchcraft? Is this just harmless entertainment?

You have seen the original cartoon of sleeping beauty by disney? Magic has always been an integral part of the story. To the end when the two fairy godmothers keep zapping Aurora's dress between pink and blue.

Heck, magic has been an integral part of the Disney image for decades.

I'm over the age of five I don't watch Disney movies. On topic this is nothing worse than public schools.

Kids by the age of ten have experienced all sorts of crazy ***.

Harmless entertainment.

I know people at the age of 25 or 50 who still watch Disney movies, don't see what the age has to do with it.

Some of them are timeless classics for all ages.

That being said: cartoons used to be more *** up, has anyone ever actually watched Tom and Jerry?

Jerry is probably the meaniest character I've ever seen. He just hurts Tom repeatedly for his own amusement, it's terrible.

My nephew used to scream when Tom was losing to Jerry, he knows how nature was supposed to work, even at the age of 6.

Didn't they just make a Snow White movie where the witch was the lead actress? Now they are doing it again with Sleeping Beauty, what's the big deal. Some of disney villains are just as big as their heroes, good on them for noticing it and making something different.

I'm so excited for this movie. I'm not a huge fan of classic Disney like Cinderella and s nowwhite..that includes sleeping beauty but at least sleeping beauty has a prince with almost a personality and the song Once Upon A Dream which I hum all the time irl. Glad Lana did a creepy cover of it.

Hope its a good movie at least.

as a godless heathen i tend to dismiss most arguments that are supported by cherry picked bible quotes and nothing else...


that being said in THIS particular case even THAT misses the point. maleficent is a disney VILLAIN, and i'm sure she will be portrayed as a VILLAIN.

if anything it's going to teach little orel that black magic and witchcraft is BAD?

LESS than harmless. good influence. parents take your children to see it. it'll be just like the passion, except it's probably not trying to be a snuff film.

Hardcore religious groups have been getting upset at Disney for a long time. Disney Gay Days have been going on since 1991 (not officially).

WTF is Disney thinking by casting Angelina Jolie for this role? That's desensitizing our children to HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE eccentric hollywood ***. That's worse than satanism.

Disney is a great company and has made a wonderful choice by casting Angelina Jolie for this role. No references were made to Satan or to eccentric Hollywood practices.

After watching the trailer, I just might go ahead and watch the movie in theaters.

It actually looked pretty interesting.

The only thing to be outraged about is the absence of the crow.
They did a really good job making her look like Maleficent from the original Disney's Sleeping Beauty cartoon.

The crow is there.

One scene (0:44ish) shows it flying into battle, another (1:22) shows it on her cane, staring at her.

what, surprisingly enough the past couple DISNEY (like Disney Disney, not pixar) have been good. Tangled is the best thing to have come out in a while and Frozen while not as great as Tangled is still like wtfgood

Eh I'm particular about animation / computer animation. Nothing wrong with it in general.
