Not nearly as good as the next two movies but still quite enjoyable tbh. I didn't like it that much at first (it was ok but not really good) and thought I wouldn't rewatch it but it turns out that it was actually worth a rewatch :)

I think the main issues with this movie are that the songs are not really good and the story can be quite silly/embarrassing at times. I e.g. didn't like any of the parents/villains at the island. Maleficent's character is one of the worst but maybe just because she has the most screen time and is responsible for the worst song ("Evil like me"). Maybe that's also the reason why I didn't really want to watch the movie "Maleficent" at first. Don't make that mistake, it's actually a really good movie.

Regarding the songs: My favorite ones are (in that order): "If only", the song at the end, and "Rotten to the core" (especially the very brief instrumental intro).

My favorite characters (roughly in that order): Mal, Evie, Dough, Ben, Carlos, and Jay.
Mal has the best outfit, that very cool green eye thingy with her mother, and cool magic!


There where also some nice character developments like Jay learning about teamwork, Carlos liking the dog, Mal falling in love, and Evie learning to use her skills.

"Let's grab that wand and blow this popsicle stand."

"The strength of evil is good as none, when stands before four hearts as one!"

PS: When I was watching this for the first time I wasn't able to find any Blu-Ray so I had to but it on DVD. I learned that the quality of a DVD is much worse than I remembered, especially if there is much movement. This time I was able to watch it in FullHD on Disney Plus (thanks Disney!) which was quite nice (there where still some minor artifacts in scenes with much movement and I wonder if they had to enhance the quality but it was much better than watching it on DVD).
