Jafar on the otherhand was underused and didnt even have the same personality or really ANY personality. I think his son, Jay, would have been a better fit as Aladdin’s child. I was very disappointed about Jafar considering he is one of my top two fave villains.
Jafar was definitely the weakest of the iconic Disney villains depicted here. His actor did not do the role justice, especially compared to Naveen Andrews on OUATiW. What I don’t understand is how they empathize Jafar being a thief, when aside from plotting to get the lamp, stealing was not one of his known character traits. It was actually Aladdin who was regularly stealing stuff in the original movie. Speaking of Aladdin, it was odd that they didn’t show him, Jasmine or their offspring in this movie,; despite Jafar and his son being involved.

I saw lots of casting information for other Disney characters (Rapunzel and Flynn and their child, Aladdin and Jazz and their child) but I suppose it was nothing? Or it didn’t make the final cut?
As for Jafar, yeah, no. Just no."I could have the giant duck as my steed!" --Daniel Radcliffe

As long as they (literally) step the song and dance up, I could easily look forward to this as a film franchise. Just have Andrew Lloyd Webber write all the dang songs though because really Maleficent’s song is just great.

YES!!! JUST YES TO ALL OF THIS!!!
And I need Kristin to come back to play Maleficent….to be honest, I liked her better than Angelina Jolie and Kristin Bauer!!! I never expected Kristin to play wicked so well, but she did!!! And was funny with it too!
Agreed with the Jafar thing, and I loved Evil Queen and Cruella….Wendy Raquel really did Cruella justice!
For a sequel…I wouldn’t mind seeing Ursula’s son or daughter join the gang, or maybe even Hades. And yeah…I feel we should have had one last scene between Mal and Maleficent alone before the ending. Other than that….this movie was quite lovely.

Don’t you wanna be evil like me…don’t you wanna be mean. Don’t you wanna make mischief your daily routine…well you can spend your life attending to the poor, but when you’re evil doing less is doing more…

July 28, 2015 at 3:01 am #306628TheWatcherParticipantUnrelated to anything but did anyone catch the Oz reference with the Yellow Brick Road that the limo drives out of the Isle? 😛

In the prequel book, Isle Of The Lost, it is mentioned that Ursula is on the island and owns a shop so we atleast know she exists in this universe. Plus we can see King Triton’s Trident in the museum scene. And Ariel might be a teacher at Auradon if the shorts care canon (I watched one where a kid said his teacher grew up under the sea so I just assume) So ariel and her kind are there. I hope they use them and Melody 😀
And for a sequel they already kind of set themselves up for it. The barrier is down, all the villains are free and it doesn’t seem like anyone is making an effort to fix the barrier amidst the pop singing, dancing, and fireworks. Unless FGM plans to put it back up? Refresh my memory if I am wrong cause im too lazy to check 😛
And gosh Maleficent’s song is SUCH A PERFECT FIT FOR REGINA/CORA!!!!!!!!!! XD
We really need to discuss this film after it airs, I don’t want to spoil anything for those who will watch it on television so I will hold off on the discussion but i have a few questions about things…."I could have the giant duck as my steed!" --Daniel Radcliffe

Have it on in the background, as I already watched it last week. I was just reminded that apparently sleeping curses can now be undone by a simple alarm! Who needs true love’s first kiss?
July 31, 2015 at 9:35 pm #306740kpercymanParticipantDid anyone read the book? I loved the book! Now are all the songs corny or is it reminiscent of HSM?

I haven’t read the book but I hear its good (its a prequel,not a novelization of the film) as for the songs…. Some were good, others were…yeah. Maleficent’s villain song is THE BEST of the film. The final song is good enough. And Mal’s song on the lake was okay. But the others were just typical Disney channel pop music that all the kids’ll be singing tomorrow anyway. Seriously, their rendition of Be Our Guest was painful even on second watching. But yeah I say it was a pretty decent film. It exceeded my expectations.

Guys. Apparently Keegan originally auditioned to be Maleficent in Descendants. That would have been the closest we would have gotten to seeing Evil Blue!
