MC, on "Its Witchcraft"

My video is a humorous response to two different critiques of Disney.  The first is the criticism from Ferraiuolo that Disney portrays magic at all.  Although he never talks about Maleficent specifically, he criticizes Disney for Fantasia, even though it portrays sorcery and the pagan god Chernabog in negative lights, it was apparently not very Christian of Walt Disney to include them at all. So my video was a satirical look at Maleficent as if she was meant to be glorified in the way Ferraiuolo accuses Disney of doing to other magical and evil characters.

The second critique I was addressing was from the feminist perspective that Disney female villains are single, sexual women.  This is definitely true when it comes to Ursula, and you could make that argument with Cruella Deville, but the argument in class was that Maleficent's wardrobe doesn't seem to make her very sexual at all.  But she isn't by any means ugly, and in other media she is portrayed as desirable, such as in the House Of Mouse episode “Match Not Made In Heaven” where Hades becomes smitten with her and tries to win her affection. And if fan art is any indication, there does seem to be plenty of fans who see her as very sexual.
