Girl, Interrupted is one of my all-time favorite movies. Angelina was great in that! I think she will make an awesome Maleficent. Although I'm a sucker for anything Disney, sooooo....lol
What's funny is if you look at her IMDB it actually does say Salt 2 but it's at the very bottom of the list (where the here acting career started) and doesn't have any info like date hahaI keep hoping they'll do a sequel to Salt.
Yeah yeah yeah, I remember her getting raped and having kids in the original story. lol Disney is so full of crap. But actually wasnt it the Grimm brothers who first started cleaning up the stories during their travels to make it more palatable to villagers or something? its been awhile since ive read old lore stories. But I love them so ^.^The original Sleeping Beauty story had no fairies good or bad. What happened to the girl was a prophesy. The old woman who had the spindle was an innocent bystander. It first appears in print in Sole, Luna, e Talia (Sun, Moon, and Talia - Talia is the princess's name) an Italian literary fairy tale written by Giambattista Basile in his 1634 work, the Pentamerone. Some time after she falls asleep, a king, hunting in nearby woods, follows his falcon into the house. He finds her, tries to wake her up, then has sex with her while she is unconscious. Then he leaves her on her bed and returns to his own city. Still deep in sleep, she gives birth to twins, a boy and a girl. It gets more complicated - the king is married - his wife is evil and tries to have Talia and her children killed, but ends up being killed herself, and the king marries Talia.
In 1697 Charles Perreault added an evil witch, in his Histoires ou contes du temps passé (Stories, or Fairy tales of time past). She had not been invited because people thought she was dead. She gets seated at the party, but she doesn't get a special gift because no one knew she was coming. So she curses the girl to prick her finger on a spindle when she's 15 or 16. The last fairy adds the part that she'll be awakened in 100 years by a prince. The old woman she meets as a teen is an innocent bystander. The princess sleeps 100 years, a prince hunting in the forest remembers a story his father had told him, and enters the sleeping castle, then kneels before the princess who awakens. They marry in her castle, then he takes her home. But his mother is jealous and does bad things until she is killed.
Here's the costume by Leon Bakst for the version done by the famous Ballet Russes pre-WWI.
Disney neatened it up, added the cranky fairy in the black and purple houpelande - so many of his fairy tale villains wear black and purple for some reason - and cleaned up the prince & princess meeting, and did away with the homicidal mother at the end.
Fairies don't really have pointed ears. So this indicates to me that they are actually all Vulcans
Wow. Thanks for this. I always forget how dark the origins of these stories are.The original Sleeping Beauty story had no fairies good or bad. What happened to the girl was a prophesy.

Would it be awkward to declare my love for you, @lilinah? Lol, I just love that you know all this! So few people do. I'm such a fan of all of the original versions of fairy tales. I adore the Disney versions too, and I don't love one version more than the other. (Okay, I might like the Grimms' version of Cinderella more than the Disney version, admittedly...) Actually, I just bought a book of Hans Christian Andersen fairy tales because I realized I didn't have one yet! The only reason I knew certain stories of his must have been because I read them online somewhere. I feel better having the book on my shelf now!The original Sleeping Beauty story had no fairies good or bad. What happened to the girl was a prophesy.
