Ellie Fanning tells of how her reaction to Malificent as a little girl was not one of fear as one of a villain should be but she says
‘I was always intrigued with her.’

We are also shown short clips of the animated version of Sleeping Beauty, in order to be given a quick view of some of the scenes that were used as inspiration for the movie.
Linda Woolverton, the screenwriter behind the film, explains her creative process behind the film.
‘It’s a reinvention, not just a retelling of the same story.’
