It’s a good period for the three-dimensional reenactment of classic Disney characters and films. The new live-action remake of Cinderella, directed by Kenneth Branagh and starring Lily James from Downton Abbey in the title role and Cate Blanchett as the wicked stepmother, has gotten strong reviews. Three classic Disney villainesses, including Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty, currently are populating ABC’s Once Upon a Time. And last year, Angelina Jolie starred in the stylistic Maleficent, exploring the origins of that ultimately wicked character. All of these projects, not at all coincidentally, come from Disney – which, after all this time, has learned to use its powers for evil as well as good.
