as "Alice in Wonderland" - i.e. a more grown-up version of a classic children's story already adapted by Disney in animation.
"Alice" made a billion dollars. "Maleficent" could do just as well.
Personally, from the day this was announced three or so years ago, I've looked at it with a giant question mark on my head. Even though I like Disney's 1959 version of "Sleeping Beauty", I have no initial desire to see a live-action prequel (the main reason I even like "Sleeping Beauty" is the design work - the story and characters themselves are rather boring).
