Maleficent is truly terrifying in both Disney adaptions, Sleeping Beauty and Maleficent. In the animated version, she is a dark enchantress with sinister and wicked intentions. She puts a spell on 16-year-old Aurora, proclaiming that she will prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die. Her plans are thwarted by Flora, Fauna, Merryweather and Prince Phillip himself. In the live-action version, Maleficent (Angelina Jolie) is just as devious, but her side of the whole ordeal is highlighted. Regardless of which film you prefer, both show just how dark and powerful the titular character is.
