Angelina Jolie's daughter Shiloh reportedly snubbed a role in Maleficent as she was not "in the mood" to do it.

The star's six-year-old child apparently decided she didn't want to appear in the upcoming live-action Disney movie.

It has been revealed that instead of Shiloh, two of Angelina and Brad Pitt's other children, Pax, eight and Zahara, seven, will appear in the fantasy film.

"They have smaller parts," a source revealed to US Weekly. "Shiloh was supposed to be in it, too, but she was bored and not in the mood during the day her part was supposed to happen, so she ended up not being in the film."

Maleficent, which is a reimagining of the classic Sleeping Beauty fairy tale told from the villain's perspective, will also feature the A-list couple's four-year-old daughter Vivienne as the child version of the character Princess Aurora.

Angelina who plays the title role, confirmed the appointment of Vivienne in her movie two months ago.

"It's a really great script, and I'm having a lot of fun. I've already got my horns fitted," Angelina gushed earlier this year about the film. "My kids are very happy."

Maleficent is set for release in March 2014.
