273 – Disney Discussions 16: Sleeping Beauty & Maleficent: Aurora Growing Up, Angelina Jolie, Villian Origin Stories And Mr Chanterelle!

Disney Discussions is back with a comparison between 1959’s Sleeping Beauty & 2014’s Maleficent!

Sleeping Beauty may be a classic but it’s a movie Mike had never seen; tune in to hear his thoughts as well as the other’s on this 65 year old movie and the 11 year old prequel/retelling from the villain’s perspective. Dan, Megan, Mike & Ria also talk about the transition from animation to live-action, Angelina Jolie’s performance, the changed aspects between movies, Sharlto Copley’s bizarre rendition of Stefan, the fairies, legacy and of course; Mr Chanterelle!
