10 Reasons We Can't Sleep Until Disney's 'Maleficent' Comes Out
You may have noticed we’re slightly excited about Disney's Maleficent finally coming out on May 30. OK, OK, we’ve hardly been able to sleep we’re THAT excited! Everywhere we look there’s reminders of how freaking fantastic it’s going to be (Angelina Jolie and Elle Fanning’s shoes they’ve been rocking at the premieres, anyone?), but it’s these ten reasons that are keeping us up at night.
4. The music
Lana Del Ray singing ‘Once Upon a Dream’? ‘nuff said.
5. Getting a look in at an alternate fairy kingdom
We all know the fluffy side of the fairies, but we can’t wait to get a look in at the creepy looking fairy kingdom that director Robert Stromberg has created.
6. Dem wings
Maleficent has some serious wing action going on in the trailer. Just how does she lose them and who was brave enough to do the deed?
7. That huge The Hobbit Battle of the Five Armies style battle
A whole host of creatures go to battle in the trailer, certainly not a feature of the original fairytale. Whose side are they on, where have they come from, what are they fighting over? So. Many. Questions.

8. Smaug cameo
As well as a Tolkein style battle is seems like Smaug is going to be making some kind of cameo. OK, it’s probably not Smaug, but there’s a stinking big dragon that looks like it’s going to cause some serious damage.
9. Elle Fanning
She doesn’t look quite how we’d imagined Aurora to look, but Elle Fanning is a great little actress who’s already shown she’s got the talent to take on such a big role in movies like Super 8, We Bought a Zoo and Young Ones.
10. Everything combined
There may have been a lot of hype surrounding Maleficent, but there’s no way we can’t see it living up to it.
