Then I ...I just saw Maleficent with Angelina Jolie. Then I watched the original with Elanor Audley. I remembered Elanor's voice with such clarity. She would come to our house in Los Angeles on Christmas and bring us a $2 bill as a gift. ( which I loved - I was so proud of her. ) Her voice was always the deep and rich treasure that you hear in the film. Watching Ms. Jolie, I felt that Elanor would have loved the character Ms. Jolie portrayed because as the film unfolded, she manifested the same kind of bitterness and power that Elanor found in the voice and the Disney animators found in the character. Beautiful. I only wished that I had gone to the studio with Elanor to meet Mr. Disney and the crew.<br />www.peterJsimmons.com Peter Simmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021438188265154254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-33847209167865898942014-10-25T10:08:55.445-07:002014-10-25T10:08:55.445-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Peter Simmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021438188265154254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-91870073480355565242014-10-25T10:07:52.587-07:002014-10-25T10:07:52.587-07:00I am so happy to discover this blog.

The animators did a fabulous job of translating her live performance into a hand-drawn one.

Madame Tremaine is so terrifying, so dark, she's not magical, yet she's so powerful because of her voice and her eyes. And Maleficent... she totally won me over when I saw Sleeping Beauty's original version for the first time. Just by her laugh after the "cradles" speech, I was completely mesmerized and terrified. Her characters were dubbed by stage actress Tina Lattanzi for the Italian versions (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBr87kdsoF0&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5VnZ44EMag&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTNX82J4SU0&feature=related)Andrea Giglio 82https://www.blogger.com/profile/07863372756464138357noreply@blogger.com
