Sleeping Beauty & Maleficent: 1959 vs 2014

posted by deedragongirl

I wish she was like this in the film!!!!

Hi guys, while I had written about both versions of Disney's Cinderella. I thought that I write about both Sleeping Beauty and Maleficent, unlike Cinderella, both stories are based on different perspectives from 2 different characters. I thought that this artigo would be somewhat a bit different. Also, in this artigo I'll also be telling what I like & dislike about both filmes like what I did with Cinderella. If you guys disagree, I don't mind at all.

The Prologue

Okay, I felt that the prologue itself was actually base on Maleficent's childhood and it was when I started thinking "since when did Maleficent has wings?". I also thought that it was a backstory of how she became a vengeful person!
However, in the original 1959 version, she doesn't have wings during her introduction and she just appear in front of the family and their subjects during Aurora's baptism. I always thought she has magical powers since her childhood days. (1959 version)

Maleficent's Personality & Appearance

One of the things I was very disappointed about was that, after she put the curse on Princess Aurora. The filmmakers sorta like tone down her character very much like what they did with Elsa in Disney's Frozen! However, unlike Elsa. Maleficent was a villain from the very start.
As I mentioned in the prologue, I always thought that she was retaliating against King Stefan por putting the curse on his daughter.
Speaking of appearance, why is Maleficent all white?When in the original, she's all green and has yellow eyes. Her speaking voice doesn't capture the same quality as Eleanor Audley with that British accent she voiced the evil fairy. (1959 version)

King Stefan

Another major disappointed moment for me, was that they turn him from a good guy into another Hans wannabe. Or I shall I say that, it IS Hans atuação as King Stefan! He was a good ally of Maleficent until he became a baddie! Or worse, a psychopath as time goes by. He doesn't even care about his wife dying from an unspecified illness, he just let her suffered and died.
In the original 1959, he was just a minor character who cares about his wife & daughter. He was also pretty harmless and would never kill Maleficent personally! (1959 version)

Princess Aurora

I was very happy that she gets mais screen-time than her animated counterpart, her personality is mais bouncy and cheerful like her namesake animated counterpart. (tied)

The 3 Fairies

They are the worse batch EVER!!!! They suddenly become way to goofy and comical fuse into one. They are NOT as wiseful as they are portray in the original 1959 version.
Secondly, what's up with their new names? Is it because the filmmakers wanted us to get confuse with their new names or something??? I seriously don't believe it. (1959 version)

Conclusion

Unlike Cinderella, the winner of this artigo goes to the original 1959 version. Although I do give Elle Fanning mais credit for her portrayal of Aurora, Maleficent is considered my least favourite disney live-action reboot ever!

Wow! He does look like Hans!!!

Watcha looking at Aurora??

Hello there, what's your name again???

Sparklefairy375 Great article! I also disappointed that they decrease Aurora's protagonist role and replaced with Maleficent instead. I still don't get it why they made Aurora's father being evil (I thought it was because Maleficent was being portrayed as good turn into evil?) and the wise three fairies being so annoying in this remake. The good things about the remake: Maleficent's reason to be evil is more make a sense (she was betrayed by Stefan), unlike the fairytale and 1959 version that she cursed Aurora because she was not invited into the party. That makes no sense for me. Plus, Aurora have more screen-time than the 1959 version. About the remake Maleficent was appear with white faces, I think she was made like that to not make the kids felt scary. Green face make-up seems not really suitable to be used in real life people. I agreed with you, the 1959 version is more better. Generally the remake's plot is sometimes kinda forced in my mind.

disneymagic93 I hated the Maleficent movie! It was so bad I almost wanted to leave the theater but I was with my friends so that would have been rude. I find it funny how people think it's more feminist than the 1959 version but really it isn't more feminist because the fairies couldn't do much in Maleficent whereas in Sleeping Beauty they were very capable. Also Maleficent made the men look bad. That is not feminism. Yeah Aurora had more screen time in Maleficent but I still don't think Maleficent is more feminist. Maleficent in the 1959 film was stronger than she was in the 2014 film. Maleficent ruined pretty much all of the Sleeping Beauty characters. Some person at my school said it's okay to put men down because they were portrayed as the superior sex for so long. That is not feminism. Feminism isn't about putting men down, it's about the equality between the 2 sexes. Sorry for this long post, I have a lot to say about my hatred for Maleficent.

deedragongirl ^^ Maleficent is a sexist movie.

audreybrooke ^ I totally agree! I also agree with most of your article (I just don't like Elle Fanning). Well done!

anukriti2409 i love Maleficent and don't why people keep comparing it with Sleeping Beauty where it has been an altogether different take on the original tale from Maleficent's perspective. 3 fairies have always been dumb in the eyes of Maleficent. King stefan was always rude for not inviting her to the ball. I like the back story of how Maleficent became a vengeful person. It's a plausible story. I also liked the twist that while she began with a vengeful purpose, she forgot herself the first part of the spell "She (Aurora) will be loved by all those who meet her" and eventually falls in love with her over the course of time. It was mentioned by Fauna in Sleeping Beauty - "I think Maleficent is very sad. She is never happy." All movies are also an adaptation of original fairy tales. They are not the same as the written stories. So, i completely fail to understand how the original movie is justified for changing the characters and plotline while another adapt isn't.

audreybrooke ^ It's because they weren't deriving the story from the authentic "Sleeping Beauty" fairy tale; they were taking it from [i]Sleeping Beauty[/i] (1959), their own movie. Maleficent and King Stefan are not named characters in the fairy tale. Every major detail about [i]Maleficent[/i] is taken from [i]Sleeping Beauty[/i] the movie. If they were just reinterpreting the fairy tale, that would have been fine with me. Instead, they decided to tear apart their own beloved movie for no reason.

anukriti2409 ^ well yes, there i agree that they should have taken a call on going for an adapt from original tale rather than their own movie. Saying that would have made more sense of the movie. Well i saw it that way, so i love it. :)

wavesurf I like both movies for different reasons. I find Maleficent a bland, stilted character in the 1959 version, who is hell bent on killing a baby because she wasn't invited to a christening. Overdoing it much????? The Maleficent in 1959 is stupid. I find the Maleficent from 2014 a nuanced, tragic character, who is overcoming her desire for revenge. The plot made more sense from that point of view.

Prettiest disney Princesses

posted by reflection11

13. Rapunzel
She is very cute in a very childish way. Her eyes are enormous and her body is skinny. This makes her cute.She isn't beautiful which puts her down here. Her long blonde hair is very pretty. Her brown hair makes her look even cuter! Her smile is cute too. Everything is...SO. DARN. CUTE!!
12. Anna
Anna is also cute and even though I don't like her hair her smile, to me is very pretty. Her eyes are cute as well. She kind of looks like Rapunzel so I think that puts her down here. Who knows maybe she looks better in the movie? But until I see it (D:) she will stay in the cute zone.

Jayden-G's Review of Frozen - Uma Aventura Congelante - Uma Aventura Congelante (not the most positive review)

posted by Jayden-G

So, I watched the movie, and my no geral, global opinion is that it is good........not great. I say this because while the characters are nice, and the songs, the story needs some work. There are some plotholes that are jarring, and the fact that most of this takes place in 24 hours is a bit problematic for me. Even the character development and the relationship building could have been better.

Characters
So my no geral, global consensus of the characters are that while they are organic for the most part, the development between the relationships of the characters and the characters themselves are too rushed (but...

POTM Outfits Countdown: ~*Aurora*~ (November 2013)

posted by BraBrief

Here are the results of the Princess of the mês Outfits Countdown!

This is originally a BelleAnastasia's idea, she started to make countdowns for princesses' songs, hairstyles and outfits each month. She made the other artigos with results only with images, so I continued her tradition, because personally I think it's not bad.

I'm really glad she let me do Aurora's countdowns, I hope you enjoy my pictures!

Which disney Prince Was Least Likely a Player?

posted by dimitri_

Here are the results! I didn't include Naveen for obvious reasons. Also, people have to keep in mind that I meant who was a player BEFORE he met his Princess. Thank you to everyone who participated!

Definition of a player in the Urban Dictionary: A male who is skilled at manipulating ("playing") others, and especially at seducing women por pretending to care about them, when in reality they are only interested in sex.

It might have been because of the mask Flynn wore all along. But regardless, it's obvious that he used to try to get what he wanted from women por using his famous...

posted by nerdyrose

Have you ever felt that you were watching yourself up on screen when you watch a disney Princess movie? I read this book called disney Girls It is about a group of friends who recognize themselves as special people that are like disney Princesses (they are one and the same). The disney Princesses here are Paula (Pocahontas), Yukiko (Snow White), Ella (Cinderella), Isabelle (Belle), jasmim (Jasmine), and Ariel (Ariel).

First of all, I don't own the book series. It was written por Gabrielle Charbonnet.

What I loved about this book is that it shows there is a Princess in every girl. It shows...

~My Untold Story~ Part 11

"Shut up! Really Lizzie? That's great!" Cornelia almost shouted. The whole kingdom can hear her Lizzie thought to herself but she just bit her lip and looked down at her hands.
"Aren't you excited?"
"Well yes," Lizzie replied. She had always loved playing house with Cornelia and her brothers growing up and dreamed to be a mother. "Do you think Ben wants to be a parent now? I know he wants to be a father but maybe now's not the right time."
"Of course it's the right time!" and then she said softly placing her hand on Lizzie's. "Ben will be excited to be a father no matter what. That little baby...

DreamyGal's Princess Poetry: ♥Ariel♥

posted by DreamyGal

*~DreamyGal Productions~*

I must find a way to be with him.
If I can’t have him, my world will always be grim.
No one I know will understand.
They all hate the land.
But it’s all I can ever think about.
I would amor it up there, I have no doubt.
Especially to be in his arms,
Getting lost in all of his charms.
Only then will I be satisfied.
Knowing that from now on it’s with him I’ll reside.
I long to be in his arms and to dance!
And find myself in a lover’s trance.
I must find someone who will help me with my plea,
Until then I will be miserable under the sea.

The Man Behind the Legend: Walt disney

posted by hedwig_wolf

Now I know this is an exclusively disney Princess page but I felt like before I start my artigos on the filmes themselves that an introduction was in order and what better way to do that then do an artigo on the man who started it all, enjoy!

Walter Elias disney was born on December 5, 1901 to Elias and Flora disney in Kansas. He had three older brothers (but one died before he was born) and a younger sister. He was closest to his brother Roy Oliver disney who worked with Walt on their father’s farm. Walt eventually dropped out of high school and joined the Red cruz where he drove an ambulance...

Princess Nationalities (just a guess)

posted by starlight77

These are my guesses on the place where the princesses live. Since we aren't told where they live in many of them. I decided to write an artigo on what nationality I think they are. I guessed cinderela and Ariel for the reasons stated below so I thought I would make an artigo out of it. P.S. Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas, mulan and Tiana are not on here because we already know where they are from.

Snow White: Personally, I think she is either German or Dutch. She is very fair skinned and has dark hair but that isn't my only back up. She wears clogs at the beginning which are traditionally Dutch...
