Maleficent (2014)

Maleficent does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative explores themes of betrayal, revenge, and unconventional family bonds, redefining 'true love' as maternal rather than romantic, but this is not presented in an LGBTQ+ context.

Maleficent does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The film's story centers on its fantasy elements and the reimagining of the Sleeping Beauty tale, with no narrative elements touching upon transsexual identity.

Maleficent, the primary female character, possesses significant magical powers and inherent fairy abilities, which she uses to defeat male opponents and armies. Her victories are consistently achieved through these supernatural means, rather than through hand-to-hand combat, martial arts, or melee weapon skills.

The film reimagines the story of Sleeping Beauty, but all major characters, including Maleficent, Aurora, Prince Phillip, and the three fairies, retain their canonically established genders from the source material and prior adaptations.

The film's main characters, including Maleficent and Princess Aurora, are portrayed by actors whose race aligns with their established depictions in the original animated source material. No character's race was changed from the source material.
