Perhaps more will come out closer to the release, but I'm not holding my breath And visually this just seems to be another one of those generic-fantasy-world-CGI films. I guess that's the norm now, but it does nothing to draw me in

Originally Posted By skinnerbox I actually don't have a problem with Jolie as Maleficent. But I do have a problem with Fanning as Aurora. Seriously, Disney? She's more the Alice type.

Also, Ellie Fanning appears to be the perfect Aurora as she is actually 16 in real life--just the right age for Aurora. My only question is why they have her using an English accent, since Aurora is supposed to be French. ORWEN: I liked the trailer. It has a lot of atmosphere. I'm sure it'll be a hit. A lot of people I know are looking forward to seeing this one!

When will Hollywood learn to put something fresh out there?
Originally Posted By skinnerbox <<Actually it's a Russian fairy tale.>> That's Cinderella. The Sleeping Beauty, or La Belle au bois Dormant, was first published by Charles Perrault, then later tweaked by the Grimm Brothers in Dornroeschen. So one could claim it's both French and German, but not Russian.

Both Sleeping Beauty & Cinderella were also told as German fairy tales by the Brother's Grimm. ORWEN: At Epcot you always find Princess Aurora in France--also Belle is there. Sometimes Cinderella even pops up there.
