Maleficent: Mistress of Evil is officially rated PG. Bontent's independent parent guide recommends it for ages 10+.

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil follows the strained relationship between Maleficent and Aurora as impending marriage plans ignite a conflict between human and fairy kingdoms. The film is rated PG primarily for intense fantasy action sequences and dark, thematic depictions of bigotry and attempted genocide. Parents…

Limited to fleeting romantic elements, including a brief, chaste kiss between Aurora and Prince Philip. Maleficent appears in a form-fitting costume during the final act, but there is no sexualized content.

The film contains moderate fantasy combat sequences, including fairy-folk being shot with iron bullets and disintegrated by chemical weapons. Characters sustain visible injuries, and there is a sense of peril as armies clash, though the framing avoids gore.

None; there is no profanity throughout the film, though characters occasionally use derogatory terms for fairies.

There is incidental wine consumption during dinner scenes, but no drug use or substance abuse.

The film explores heavy topics including systemic prejudice, xenophobia, and the trauma of attempted genocide. Queen Ingrith is depicted as a manipulative, power-hungry figure who orchestrates the systematic eradication of a magical race.

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil runs 119 minutes, directed by Joachim Rønning, released in 2019.
