The Maleficent final trailer combines both the cartoon and a live-action sequence as the video hints that King Stefan and the Disney Villain have a "connection" and is Maleficent rumored to be the mother of Princess Aurora?
The final trailer of Maleficent features a blend of cartoon animation and live-action sequences. As we observed the first part of the trailer it shows a storybook like animation which is similar to Disney's animated movie Sleeping Beauty in 1959, and majority of the footage is now in live-action. As we delve further into the trailer, there is a scene where in a young Stefan and Maleficent had a "moment" together hinting that the two have some sort of connection to one another.
It is stated in the film's plot that Stefan is Maleficent's former childhood friend, but perhaps the connection between the two is much deeper than we thought. A tumblr page has hinted several theories about the relationship between Stefan and Maleficent in the movie.
Here is the theory below.
"Ok now that I got the casting theories set off this is my theory for the story.
Stefan in this movie will be half-human half-fairy and the bastard son of a human king (Maybe King Kinloch?). Copley has already reviled that Stefan and Maleficent are lovers at one point and somewhere in the fairyworld is where they fall in love.Stefan's father tries to take over the fairyland but Stefan offers himself up as a token in order to stop the current war with the fairyland and the human world. Maleficent disapproves highly of this because it means Stefan will leave her and she'll be all alone again and with only her aunt. This is what causes Maleficent to come the way she becomes. With Stefan gone from fairyworld Maleficent become depressed and soon turns to dark magic and gets her new pet raven which her aunt Queen Ulla (played by Miranda Richardson) highly disapproves of and thus punishes Maleficent and hopes to ridicule for life by giving her horns from a cow. Maleficent later matures and forgets about the love she shared with Stefan and leaves the fairyworld and goes to the Forbidden Mountains where she makes her new home. Maleficent then gets word from her Diaval who tells her that Stefan has had a child and is having a christening and has invited the entire kingdom including those in fairyland but did not extended an invitation to Maleficent. Maleficent then remembers what she had with Stefan and though she no longer loves him or cares for him in such a way she gets angry for not being invited and then storms into the christening and curses the baby girl. The rest of the story is played out like it is in the original animated movie except in Maleficent's POV. But whilst Phillip is battling Maleficent he does not kill her when he threw his sword he only injured her, which with her magic she later heals herself. There is a great, epic, and finale battle before the end "
One has to wonder if this theory is real or not, could be the reason why Maleficent became who she is today, and her growing hatred for King Stefan is so deep that she would curse his only daughter just to gain revenge on him.
But, the bigger issue here is that Princess Aurora's mother was never mentioned in the theory. Where is she in the story, and why is she not included in the first place?
Her absents leads to one possible outcome, Princess Aurora is possibly Maleficent's daughter, and in some point King Stefan hid the truth from her and Aurora for a reason.
If these theories and possible hints could be true, then auidiences will have a better understanding of Maleficent's point of view in the movie.
We'll just have to find out as the movie will be shown on May 30, 2014.
