The new Disney Channel Original Movie Descendants follows the teen kids of Disney's most infamous villains—Jafar, the Evil Queen, Cruella, and Maleficent—as they're sent away from home to a "preppy school" for the first time. If fourteen-year-old alt-kid me had seen this, I would have been all over it.

Cinder, Once Upon A Time, Maleficent... we just can't get enough of fresh takes on old fairy tales. Out tomorrow with Titan, there's a new book to fill that fairy tale void in your heart in a wicked way: Sarah Pinborough's wicked Snow White tale, Poison.

2014 was an excellent year for women in film, and we couldn't go without acknowledging the most badass ladies to grace the silver screen over the past twelve months. If you missed any of these - flee, flee to your Netflix. You won't be sorry.

Sideshow Collectibles provided The Mary Sue with a Maleficent Sixth Scale Figure by Hot Toys for review and as it turns out, she's just as photographable as Angelina Jolie herself.

Today, Disney announced the release of eight new figures for Disney Infinity 2.0 as part of their Disney Originals line - and half of the playable characters are female. We spoke with executive producer John Vignocchi about these new characters, who's playing the game, and what kind of inclusivity we might be seeing in the future.

Cosplay Class is back in session with a very cheeky Maleficent prosthetic tutorial! Now if I could just grow horns...

Disney has released a few videos of extra content from the all-new Sleeping Beauty Diamond Edition blu-ray including behind-the-scenes stories, deleted scenes, and tons more fun. Here's a preview...

In my book, there are few cozier ways to spend a Sunday morning than perusing the internet in search of good art. Today's find is the work of artist Jenn So, who sells fannish prints and other goodies at her Society6 shop. I'm especially partial to the Lara Croft one. I also recommend looking very, very closely at the sheep in the last pic featured here.

When I'm being optimistic, it feels like there was a slight shift this summer in the way Hollywood perceived women. True, Marvel still fiddle-faddled over a female-led movie, but there was cause for celebration, too: Scarlett Johansson proved her massive box-office draw, the Expendabelles movie progressed with casting news, and Columbia Pictures wants to make a female Ghostbusters reboot. So what caused this small increase in representation?

There were some good movies that came out this summer. Some bad ones. And a lot of in-between. But which were which? We asked you, our readers, to share your opinions. And now we have the results. 2014 summer movie season, you have been ranked. The TMS writers also share their views on the movies that came out, because we couldn't let you have all the fun.

In the past few months Amazon has very publicly made enemies with several of its business partners, but the online retailer isn't done sullying its image--fans hoping to order titles such Maleficent, Muppets Most Wanted or Captain America: The Winter Soldier from Amazon are out of luck, at least until Disney cries "uncle."

At San Diego Comic-Con, we caught up with LAIKA CEO Travis Knight, as well as directors Anthony Stacchi and Graham Annable, and stars Elle Fanning, Isaac Hempstead-Wright, and Sir Ben Kingsley to talk about the surprising and inventive process behind The Boxtrolls and LAIKA's LGBTQ representation.

LOOK AT ALL THE THINGS!

How do we create a complex woman character who can give girls a choice in who they identify with, but that Hollywood will still regularly produce? And how can we do it while encouraging the qualities of modern feminism, instead of diminishing them?

Conceptual artists Jerad S. Marantz  and Kelton Cram have two things in common: they both worked on The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and they both really enjoy drawing Angelina Jolie with various types of badass horns on her head. You're going to want to see this, because as gorgeous as Maleficent looked in the Disney film, we simply cannot get enough of lady horns. 

Sakes alive. Descendants looks like it's going to be a hot mess in the best possible way. That's Dove Cameron as Maleficent's daughter Mal (really) next to KChen, while the children of (l-r) Snow White's Evil Queen, Cruella de Vil, and Jafar hang out in the background looking like a cross between '90s mall children and the Lost Boys from Hook. They're 2 bad 4 u!
