Movie Haiku:Jolie is magnificent in this Disney remake of SLEEPING BEAUTY now told from the POV of the female villain by screenwriter Linda Woolverton. Stromberg (a first-time director who already has Oscars for Art Direction) creates a luminous world of Special Effects, & Fanning provides genuine sweetness & light as Princess Aurora. NOT YET SEEN BY RICH.
