We just can't get enough of evil Angelina Jolie in Maleficent!

And neither can Elle Fanning.

Fanning, who plays Sleeping Beauty's Princess Aurora in the upcoming Disney film alongside Jolie, says that working with the A-list Hollywood mama definitely did not disappoint.

"It's amazing," Fanning told us of Maleficent at last night's 2012 AFI Fest premiere of Ginger & Rosa in Hollywood. "We just finished it in London. Angelina Jolie, she's just incredible. Meeting her and getting to watch her, she just looks amazing. She has these cheekbones and these horns. It's really, really beautiful."

Fanning, 14, says she didn't get to work with Jolie's 4-year-old daughter Vivienne, who makes her acting debut in the film.

"Vivienne plays young Aurora," she said. "I wasn't on set the day she filmed, but she played little me."

While working with Jolie was a blast, Fanning says the best part of filming the fairy tale flick was "getting to be a Disney princess; it's just incredible. I had the long hair and the dresses. It was all magical, the whole world. It's great."
