DISNEY’S “MALEFICENT”

Last April we were fortunate to see a short clip of Maleficent at the Disney Social Media Moms event and even had her walk through the conference and give us all a little scare!  It wasn’t Angelina, but boy did she do a great job at engaging the parents and kids up on stage!  And even Sleeping Beauty herself was there!  That was the highlight of our day that is for sure!  Elle Fanning is about as cute as they come and she really is as sweet as the character she plays.

So when the movie came out, my daughter and I rushed to see it on opening day.  We both really love this movie and have seen it a couple of times.  I don’t think it is too scary for little ones but you know your kid.  My daughter who is eight years old wasn’t frightened at all.  Apparently we weren’t the only ones who loved this movie – it has enchanted audiences around the world and grossed over $700 million worldwide.  This live-action, fantasy adventure casts a wondrous new spell and offers a wickedly fun twist on the classic “Sleeping Beauty”.
