While every child is different, Maleficent appears to be best suited for youngsters around 8 to 10. Some of the heavier imagery may be unsettling to younger or more sensitive youngsters. Older children and teenagers, on the other hand, will likely love the 3D graphics and the unusual spin on a classic subject. Maleficent tells the story of a beautiful, pure-hearted princess who sets out to save her land from a malevolent witch. To do so, she must unlock seven magical secrets of darkness and light, but it also brings about her downfall because this act causes her to fall in love with a man who does not believe in fairy tales. This movie is based on one of Disney's most famous characters: Maleficent. First released in 1930, this animated film follows the story of Princess Aurora who is born with the power of dark magic and is taken to a distant land where people live happily ever after until she meets Prince Phillip who doesn't believe in fairy tales either. One day, Maleficent comes to life and tries to kill Aurora but fails because of some help from King Stefan who ends up falling in love with her. After many years, Stefan finally decides to marry Aurora and the evil queen dies after cursing her daughter to eternal youth.
