“Descendants,” which follows the teen offspring of Disney’s most evil villains, including Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Cruella de Vil and Jafar. Well I had the pleasure of watching the movie. So here is my review to Disney's "Movie of the Year"
If you did not get a chance to watch it here is the summary. This is the story of the teenage descendants of some of the most evil characters in Disney fairy tales. All of the villains have been banished to this prison island called the Isle of the Lost that has a protective barrier on it and they’ve been there for over 20 years. Many of them have children now and so our story begins with a young soon-to-be king — 16-year-old Ben, who is the son of Belle and Beast — who decides that he wants to create a proclamation giving four children of the most evil characters an opportunity to leave the island and to redeem themselves. He believes in his heart-of-hearts that although they come from evil, being given a chance to make choices for themselves, that perhaps they won’t choose it for themselves.
HSM creator, Kenny Ortega, has definitely outdone himself again. I expect Descendants to be a huge hit. HSM will be 10 years old next year, and this movie definitely will be the new HSM of the newer generation. I related to the movie, and I believe this is a movie the whole family can watch. Fairlytale stories are with basically everyone, and the creators of Descendants brought that out as well as relatable topics for teens and adults. The cast was stellar. Dove Cameron was probably one of my favorites as Mal. Who else was gushing over Mal and Ben together( Gabriella and Troy anyone?). It was magical. The songs and dances were on point, but it needs a little more pop. All I know is if this movie has a sequel I am so watching it. Descendants gets an A+ from me.
