In Disney's 2014 live-action fantasy tale Maleficent, not only do we learn the secret origin of the iconic fairy, but we also learn more about her connection to the legendary Sleeping Beauty, 'Princess Aurora', played in the movie by Elle Fanning.

You know, I might be tempted to go to the movies more than twice a year if our theater had exhibits like this.
ReplyDeleteThese costume and props exhibits at places like the El Capitan Theatre and the ArcLight cinemas really are great - I love comparing what you see on screen with all the lighting and post-production tinkering to the real thing.
ReplyDeleteSometimes the costumes look much less impressive on the screen and vice versa, they can look cheaper in person. But it's still a thrill to see them every time.
