They had the chance to adapt the original movie they were too scared to the first time. Make it r-rated or something. i don't understand who's the movie is for.

Upon reflection, one of the concept mistakes was slavishly following the original plot.

The embellishments like the happy citizens, Evil Queen's love for cheap plastic jewels, apple pies, etc. just felt unnecessary and tacked on.

Disney already made Maleficent relatively recently in 2014 as a meta take on the original, so where could they go from there?
