Saw a pre-screening last night in 3D with my daughter. She somehow got a hold of 2 tickets.

I guess the first thing is, this is a movie for kids, although it was enjoyable as an adult it is not a thriller. It is a fairyland of cute creatures and nice digital special effects (which is what my daughter is majoring in at college so this was right up her alley). Younger kkids will love this. Older kids may too, if they are Disney fans. Those looking for a horror story will not find one here, despite what the TV ads imply.

Second [SPOILER ALERT - highlight to view], in true Disney fashion, Maleficent was wronged, so that's how she became mean. Of course she reforms somewhere in the middle and turns into the hero at the end, while the "good king" was the real monster.

Good to know it is kid friendly, I was actually not clear on that based on the nature of the ads I am seeing for it, and not being familiar with the story overall.

Thanks!

Interesting, and very tricky on the Spoiler Alert Bob. Kudos on thinking out of the proverbial box.
