‘Maleficent’ Teaser Trailer & Images: Disney Sends Angelina Jolie to the Dark Side







In the original Sleeping Beauty, there’s little debate that Maleficent is one nasty fairy. She curses a child to death; she kidnaps a prince; she refers to herself as “the Mistress of All Evil,” for crying out loud.
