The film stars Angelina Jolie as the title character, with Sharlto Copley, Elle Fanning, Sam Riley, Imelda Staunton, Juno Temple and Lesley Manville in supporting roles. Loosely inspired by Charles Perrault's original fairy tale, the film is a reimagining of Walt Disney's 1959 animated film Sleeping Beauty, and portrays the story from the perspective of the eponymous antagonist, depicting her conflicted relationship with the king and princess of a corrupt kingdom.[3] Walt Disney Pictures announced the film's development in 2010, with Joe Roth as producer and Jolie, Don Hahn, and Michael Vieira as executive producers. Principal photography took place between June and October 2012.

The film was released in the United States on May 30, 2014 in the Disney Digital 3D, RealD 3D and IMAX 3D formats, as well as in conventional theaters. The film received mixed reviews from critics, earning praise for Jolie's performance, the costumes, visual effects and musical score, while criticism was aimed at the script and some inconsistencies in tone. Maleficent was a commercial success, grossing over $758 million worldwide, and became the fourth-highest-grossing film of 2014 as well as the highest-grossing film starring Jolie. The film received an Academy Award nomination for Best Costume Design at the 87th Academy Awards. A sequel, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, was released in 2019.

Stripped of their magical powers, the villains now live in total isolation, forgotten by the world. But hidden in the Forbidden Fortress is a Dragon's Eye: the key to true darkness and the villains' only hope of escape. Only the cleverest, evilest, nastiest villain can find it... who will it be?

And when she hears about the search for the Dragon's Eye, Mal thinks this could be her chance to prove herself the cruelest of them all... Evie - Having been castle-schooled for years, Evil Queen's daughter, Evie, doesn't know the ins and outs of Dragon Hall. But she's a quick study, especially after she falls for one too many of Mal's little tricks. Jay - As the son of Jafar, Jay is a boy of many talents: stealing and lying, to name a couple. Jay and Mal have been frenemies forever, and he's not about to miss out on the quest for the Dragon's Eye. Carlos - Cruella De Vil's son may not be the bravest, but he's certainly clever. Carlos's inventions may be just what they need to end their banishment for good.
