Hi, I’m Suzie! I’m a Los Angeles based Family Lifestyle blogger over at happymessmoments.com, where you’ll find my MOMents in Travel, Entertainment, Crafting and more. It’s been fun covering the Maleficent: Mistress of Evil movie for Lipgloss & Crayons, so I hope you enjoy this post!

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil Press Junket

This Halloween season, Disney brings evil and then some to the big screen with Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. The film opens Friday, October 18, so be sure to read my spoiler-free review. But first, here’s what the cast had to say about bringing Maleficent back.

Maleficent Press Junket

Evil never looked so good, especially with the amazing cast of Maleficent:Mistress of Evil up on stage. The stars included Angelina Jolie (“Maleficent”), Michelle Pfeiffer (“Queen Ingrith”), Elle Fanning (“Princess Aurora”), Chiwetel Ejiofor (“Conall”), Sam Riley (“Diaval”), Harris Dickinson (“Prince Phillip”), Ed Skrein (“Borra”), and Director Joachin Ronning.

On his vision of expanding the Maleficent universe, Director Joachin Ronning said, “I feel a huge part of the success of the first film was that it had such a strong emotional core. And I think that was the most important thing for me to continue telling that story, the story about Maleficent and Aurora. And that’s definitely something I can relate to as a parent myself.”

We all know the power that Michelle Pfeiffer brings to the villainous characters she’s played in the past. So it was exciting to see her as Queen Ingrith, Prince Philip’s mother and main antagonist. When asked about how different in strength the women of the film are, she said, “Aurora’s character is many ways is ultimately the strongest and the wisest of all of us. I mean my character is really brilliant and diabolical, but I wouldn’t consider her terribly wise – and in some ways what she resorts to is really, truly at the end of the day, really deep fear.”

Elle Fanning on Aurora: “Aurora is taking charge of her own life but with kindness, which is the most powerful of all. We didn’t want Aurora to then be in [in a lot of films they put her in armor and have a sword and she’s fighting and that makes her strong]. That isn’t Aurora’s true nature and I love that she symbolizes that for also young girls. I was that girl and I was always soft and wanted to me a mom and wanted to get married and very feminine and there’s nothing wrong with that. And we get to show the strength in accepting your femininity. And Aurora does it in a pink dress, very BADASS.”

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil touches on family and accepting who you truly are. Angelina Jolie talked about when Aurora and Maleficent were first brought together – they weren’t expecting to become a family. So in this film you’ll see the challenges they face. “Maleficent was harmed in her life and she’d lost herself and lost her ability to be soft or feel love, and the love of a child, which certainly happened for me in my life–being a mother brought out something in me that completely transformed me. But we are different creatures in the film, and so there are metaphors in the film and not to be heavy about it, but always I think a good film for young people are these messages.” 

MALEFICENT: MISTRESS OF EVIL arrives in theatres everywhere on October 18th!

📣What conversations with your kids are you gear 📣What conversations with your kids are you gearing up to have? 📣⠀
📣Let’s be honest......there are conversation topics that as parents we all know we need to bring up. From body changes to the birds and the bees to underage drinking.....as our kids get older, we’ve got a lot to tackle. And I get it, unless you happen to be a 15 years in the classroom teacher like me....this probably isn’t something you have experience with (plus, trust me....it’s a whole other ball game with your OWN kids). ⠀
⠀
📣I’m excited to team up with my friends at Responsibility.org to talk to YOU about having those talks with your family. This month is Alcohol Responsibility Month, and it’s the PERFECT time to start an ongoing dialog around underage drinking.⠀
⠀
📣 A few tips for having those ongoing conversations with your kids:⠀
⠀
📢Be human. It’s ok to not know all the answers. Your job? To lead with love and openness, and to use resources and experts to find the answers.⠀
⠀
📢Know that these are ongoing conversations. Hard topics aren’t a one and done type of dialog. As your children grow up, and have new experiences, you’ll have more conversations.⠀
⠀
📢Facts and Data are more effective than scare tactics. For discussions about Underage Drinking, I love Ask, Listen, Learn as a resource for parents and teachers. It addresses brain development, and has some REALLY cool videos and interactive tools for kids in grades 4-7.⠀
⠀
📣I’m sharing more tips and resources over on the blog today.

🌴These happy faces? Are because we spent the day lounging by the pool instead of hiding from loud machines.  If you follow along on our stories, you know that we came home from a trip to Bass Lake and Yosemite LAST week to…..WATER EVERYWHERE.  It’s all still being sorted out, but…..in the meantime there are some very big and loud machines starting the process of removing the water from our floors / cabinets and downstairs area. ⠀
⠀
🌴So when we had the chance to do a little staycation at the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach after our Touch of Disney day…….CLEARLY it was a YES.  This was my first time to this property, and it won’t be the last.  Three pools, super close to a ton of fun activities (18 miles from Disneyland, and an 8 minute drive from the Lido Marina Village), plus they’ve got a GREAT dinner option and a coffee shop in the morning.  This was JUST what we needed,  now I’m just busy plotting ways to stay longer.⠀
⠀
🌴Have you done an emergency home renovation? Did you stay? Because, I’m about to vote for us just taking up residence at the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach until all work is done.  You support this choice, right? ⠀
