Maleficent
Maleficent lived in a castle, I believe
somewhere in Germany, since there are a lot
of German names in the film. She is the
villain in Walt Disney's
Sleeping Beauty and some consider her
the most dangerous villains of all time. She
can also be found in the
Kingdom Hearts video games, House of
Mouse, and the Kingdom Keepers series.
Maleficent has an army of minions that do
her bidding, and her beloved pet raven Diablo
never leaves her side. Maleficent means
evil-doer, and is considered by many to be
the 'Mistress of all things evil'.
Maleficent has a very dark style about her;
she wears a long black, purple and pink
robe. She carries a magical staph that has a
glowing green globe with her everywhere; she
also wears a black horned headdress.
Maleficent was voiced by
Eleanor Audley in Sleeping Beauty,
she also voiced
Lady Tremaine in
Cinderella and Madame Leota in the
Haunted Mansion attraction. She is voiced by
Lois Nettleton in House of Mouse and
Susanne Blakeslee in Kingdom Hearts.
Blakeslee has also been the voices of The
Evil Queen, Lady Tremaine,
Cruella de Vil, Kala from Tarzan,
Flora in Kingdom Hearts, and Madame Leota
since 2001.
Maleficent is no longer a meet and greet
character, you can see her in the
Magic Kingdom parade: Dream along
with Mickey, and also in Fantasmic. She can
also be found during Mickey's not so scary
Halloween parties at the
Cinderella Castle Forecourt in the
Magic Kingdom.
