Maleficent: Mistress of Evil

Audience emotional responses are primarily driven by the film's dramatic conflict and adventure elements. High **Anxiety** and **Anticipation** stem from the escalating tensions between the human and fairy realms, fueled by prejudice and betrayal, leading to an impending all-out confrontation. This creates significant **Empathy** for Maleficent, Aurora, and the inhabitants of the Moors, coupled with **Sadness** over the division and suffering caused by malicious forces, and **Anger** towards the antagonists. Despite the dark themes, the 'Family' genre ensures a strong presence of **Hope** for reconciliation and the triumph of love, alongside moments of **Joy** and **Love** that emerge from the initial union and eventual resolution. **Excitement** is also present during the film's action sequences and magical confrontations.
