Maleficent

Maleficent (2014) is a Walt Disney Pictures fantasy you can watch online on iFILM. Director Robert Stromberg retells the Sleeping Beauty story from the villain's own point of view, with Angelina Jolie in the title role.

Once a young, free-spirited fairy ruling a wild moorland kingdom, Maleficent suffers a devastating betrayal at the hands of a greedy human king — and wakes up without her wings. The curse she places on his infant daughter Aurora feels like justice. But as Aurora grows up in the forest, played by Elle Fanning, Maleficent's certainty starts to crack. The girl is genuinely kind, utterly guileless, and impossible to hate.

The film flips the classic Charles Perrault tale on its head: the true nature of love turns out to be nothing like the fairy tale promised. Sharlto Copley plays the treacherous king, with Imelda Staunton and Sam Riley rounding out a strong supporting cast. Stream Maleficent (2014) in full online on iFILM.
