FollowDisney has a way of casting good and evil in such a way that that a small child you genuine hated the evil villain and you really loved the pretty princess. However, recently there has been a revamp of the lady villains in some of these Disney princess movies, telling a whole new story to the previously told tale.
Maleficent
“There was a legend of a dark and powerful fairy and her curse on a sleeping beauty” and the story line goes into depth about Maleficent and her elegant, and powerful character.
Not only was the story-line of the female villain revamped, but so was the look! The clothing got a little tighter (it’s Angelina Jolie, they couldn’t not) and she was given large, feathery, evil looking wings! Pretty awesome!
Ravenna- The Queen
Snow White and the Seven Dwarves differ from Snow White and the Huntsman not only in the action, but also in the dynamics of the queen’s role. The Charlize queen sucks the souls out of young girls to stay young, The Queen, in the new version is overarching more beautiful than the new Snow White.
My favorite wardrobe alteration is changing the crown and headpiece. Allowing the face, and neck to be shown better emphasizes the beauty, and her thick golden braids appear crown like.
The Queen of Hearts
The Queen of Hearts is known for her awful temper. “Off with their heads!” In the new version, the temperament is the same; however, the wardrobe is wonky and different on all of the characters. The makeup is drastic, the weird shape of her head compared to body is different, and overall is more gothic than the cartoon version (no surprise, what with the new movie being a Burton film).
Although, I am not a fan of the makeup, or alteration of body I do love the costum revamp. What beautiful beading!!!!
The lady villains have definitely been revamped in the newer premiers, some for the better, and some for the worse- either way the beautiful costumes, and intricacy of makeup and detail are costume worthy!
