This is one of the best stories about Maleficent. Thank you for using the lore from the Valentine book, Mistress Of All Evil.

Mal and Ben’s relationship beginnings aren’t perfect and didn’t seem healthy but the more good she became the better their relationship was He helped her be a better person and she brought Ben out of his shell

In the descendants movie maleficent mentions having a relationship with her mom so she did raise her seems like

[@madnessarcade7447]

1:32:37 the royal wedding and moments like that seem to indicate that being a lizard did maleficent some good and she’s not evil anymore or just not as evil

[@silvercrystalrose28]

That was a great explanation video of Maleficent. I would like to see one about the Evil Queen from Snow White.

[@bonnielovely]

yesssss, absolutely~ i actually already started her, but it will take a few months to finish (this vid took me like 5 months lol). next i am doing tamatoa and edgar balthazar, but evil queen is after that! 👑

[@TechWorld-np2ok]

I hope you will do next with Lady Tremaine, she remained in my mind since I was 7 yrs old

i absolutely will make sure i do one on lady tremaine! what would you like to know most about her?

Sleeping Beauty is my favorite movie of all-time! I saw it 7 times in 1959, and every time it was rereleased, then I bought it when it came onto video. I just adore the dragon! Vast

School of secrets is set offscreen during the movie so it would go next to not before

[@bonnielovely]

that is probably true, but in the first few eps, they discuss the possibility of the kids coming to the school and talk about them before they arrive, so i put it before, but it's more simultaneous (kind of like wicked world)

[@madnessarcade7447]

@@bonnielovelythat’s fair

[@madnessarcade7447]

It’s just mal she doesn’t earn the full name until she does an evil act and since she never will she will never get the full name

[@bonnielovely]

i agree. even though her legal name is maleficent according to the books, she likes mal better, and her mom refuses to call her maleficent. but she doesn't like that name anyway so i only use it for the formal context

[@madnessarcade7447]

Never realized maleficent changed her outfit from when she was on the isle to when she went to auradon

hi conor~ thanks for taking time to watch, that's a very kind & supportive thing to say ♥

[@madnessarcade7447]

When you get to the timeline video there are probably gonna be some tv shows u have to include as well like the lion guard tangled the series jake and the never lane pirates Alice wonderland bakery all the Winnie the pooh shows lilo and stitch the series etc Every single thing made by Disney that isn’t the original animated shows and live action shows and the newer remakes the cg tinkerbell movies would count too Shows like Kim possible ducktales that’s so Raven etc wouldn’t be there All the movies and tv show spin offs The original 101 Dalmatians remake is probably fair game also all the Disney Cinderella stories like into the woods too Anything like that I’m gonna count enchanted too that’s fair game That’s the criteria Brandy’s involvement means there were multiple Cinderellas

[@madnessarcade7447]

The next descendants movie shows us maleficent as a kid so it may contradict your video Also she doesn’t have horns that’s her hair made into the shape of horns

[@madnessarcade7447]

A few discrepancies According to the info we know from descendants 4 Maleficent went to Merlin academy and fairy godmother was her classmate not her teacher Descendants 4 may end up contradicting your video and if so sorry for that ik u worked hard on it

[@madnessarcade7447]

1:24:42 it didn’t sound like maleficent so I assumed the scepter could talk

[@brittneymccants6161]

I agree with you in regards to hades and maleficence falling in love in the house of mouse

[@brittneymccants6161]

I wish they would add house of mouse to disney plus

[@madnessarcade7447]

No one has done this before please do a complete chronological timeline from hercules or whatever is first down to descendants Every movie new and old and where they fit on the timeline this would include newer movies like encanto and frozen and strange worlds etc btw You would have to find out what year each movie takes place and label the year in the video It would be every single Disney animated and possibly live action movie (due to brandy’s inclusion in d4) (only originals no remakes other than brandy’s Cinderella and whatever is confirmed in the future) to ever have been made and future movies This will be a very difficult video I wish u luck

[@bonnielovely]

i will consider this! i have a few theory videos i want to do first like how magic works in the disney universe, the three main timelines, and the lighthouse theory. i will definitely think about making a chronological timeline/family tree the animated to descendants timeline is it's own "universe," and then the live action disney timeline is a completely separate universe imo. because in descendants, the characters often talk about each other's lore (from the animated films), but don't discuss things that happened in any live action movies- but with the inclusion now of brandy, that kind of twists that situation as well so it will certainly be interesting. it would probably be like the zelda timeline, very confusing, with many paths, but definitely interesting!

[@bonnielovely]

and thank you for the luck ♥

U did a good job researching descendants history but u probably forgot about the future unintentionally Just thought I would let you know Sorry if I came off rude or pretentious didn’t mean too

[@madnessarcade7447]

Ig since mal isn’t evil that would make her a light fairy

[@bonnielovely]

she is a dark fairy because she is a dragon, you can be dark or light, it doesn't make you good or evil. the "light" fairies all have translucent wings like the blue fairy & the three good fairies. but the dark fairies are ones that have wings based on more "mythological" creatures

Was Morgan la fay ever referenced in sword in the stone because it’s strange that her son is gonna be in descendants 4 even tho we never saw her before Maybe she was just offscreen the whole time

in the books that sword in the stone was inspired by, she is mentioned, but i don't remember her being mentioned in the animated movie itself. and yeah i am wondering how they are going to incorporate her, unless she is a different character like morgan is the blue fairy or another fae that exists already in disney lore that we don't know her "true" name (like nanny)
