I’m thrilled to announce that Disney’s Maleficent will be available on Blu-ray Combo Pack, Digitial HD, DVD, Disney Movies Anywhere and On Demand on November 4, 2014.
I didn’t see the film in theaters but I wanted to. I bet it was amazing on the big screen, especially the action sequences.
The film stars Angelina Jolie and Elle Fanning.

Aurora: Becoming A Beauty
I think they did a great job making Angelina Jolie look creepy.
Did you know her daughter Vivienne plays young Aurora in the film? From what I read other young child actresses were afraid of Angelia in her full costume (especially the horns) except for her daughter Vivienne, so they cast her in the role.
Here is a brief clip of young Elle Fanning talking about “Being Aurora”.
I also have a FREE download you can enjoy to help you recreate your own Aurora costume as well as other fun activities. Simply click on the image to save/download the activities so you can print them out and enjoy at you leisure.
My kids loved this movie. This would make a great gift for the family for Christmas. It would be perfect for family movie night. Plus it’s one I want to add to our collection.
This is my favorite MOVIE!
(Disney’s Maleficent available on November 4, 2014) We cannot wait to see this movie, it sure sounds like it is going to be really good-
