Rated: G
Length: 75 min.
Age: 4 and up. Commonsense Media sez: iffy for ages 4/5
Scary Factor: no real danger until the climax, when Maleficent turns into a dragon to battle the prince (scene is relatively brief)
Intense Scenes: far more suspense and chills than outright scares – Maleficent is wonderfully threatening; scene in which Aurora pricks her finger on the spindle is eerie and enthralling.
Bad Behaviour: Boozing – the two kings drink endless toasts to each other and a minstrel gets quietly sloshed under the table.
Language: “fools! idiots! imbeciles!” barked by Maleficent at her underlings; she also mentions the powers of “hell”
Interests: fairy tales, princesses, knights, castles, dragons, magic, fairies
Next: Cinderella, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Thumbelina
