I know it has been out for a few days, but it took me a while to catch up with life. But today when I watched it for the first time, I was so excited to see the new Maleficent trailer. It made my day complete.
Sleeping Beauty has always been my favorite of the "princess" films. Ever since I was a tiny mo, my inner Briar Rose would quietly sing "Once Upon A Dream" as I danced with my stuffed animals around my room in daily routine. I have always loved that song. So innocent and hopeful, it pretty much defined my dreams of meeting my own handsome prince.
But although I loved Aurora, there was something so sinister and intriguing about Maleficent that made me despise and obsess over her. I could never get her out of my mind.
When I heard they were making this film, I was crushed. I was so sure they would ruin it just like they botched Green Lantern, my biggest obsession of all. But I have to say, everything I have seen so far has not disappointed. Angelina Jolie seems to embody the character Eleanor Audley made so captivating and Lana Del Rey's rendition of "Once Upon A Dream" is simply haunting.
So today, I'm thankful for creative visionaries who make my animated dreams come to life.
