Continued "Sleeping Beauty" adulation.

Three Views of Maleficent's Castle

The "Sleeping Beauty" obsession continues unabashedly.

No need to pretend. There will be more.

Beams of Light

From "Sleeping Beauty"

Good Magic:  soft pastels, sparkling snow flakes, spontaneously ricocheting, the room is cast in warm blue light.

Evil Magic:  sharp, angular, searing white, clearly directed at a target.

During Maleficent's Vision:  austere, emphasis on Sleeping Beauty's isolation.

After the Vision:  mournful, speckled with trickling white lights.

Gradually the mourners are illuminated resembling a Nativity scene.
