First time watching *DESCENDANTS 2* & the songs are way better than the 1st movie

[@kkdeeartist2474]

Lakia rooting for uma is literally EVERYTHING 😂

[@JRobert1402]

Uma had a point tho. She was an icon and the moment.

[@milarosaporto]

Uma has so much charisma that was impossible to root for someone else

[@tamikahinnant5981]

Uma is the best

[@ohbooyourselves]

Uma being escorted by Ben AND having the better dress is a crazy level of embarrassment 😬

[@LakiaJaiTV]

Too real 😭

[@madnessarcade7447]

@@LakiaJaiTV Could we stop using a small budget as a criticism of a movie or show it’s really unfair the stylists and directors and creators had no control over that and they did their best with it

[@graceoodunmbaku8088]

@@madnessarcade7447 It has nothing to do with the budget. CGI is expensive lol. The dress doesn’t match her. It’s part of the plot. The whole pretty princess thing wasn’t for Mal and it showed through the dress. That’s y it changed after she became a dragon. And the new purple dress was also the one in the glass picture thingy Ben designed showing the “real her”. It was part of her character discovery. Descendants actually had a pretty high budget for a Disney movie. 🤓

[@kingseb2252]

​@graceoodunmbaku8088 i thought mal looked really good in any dress but i didn't like her blonde hair i loved the iconic purple

[@robloxable7316]

true but Mals purple dress gives umas a run for her money

[@whybiemydudez_yt]

this was one of the first realizations i realized i was gen z. you could not let me go against china anne mcclain as a villian. i grew up with a.n.t. farm and i knew my place.

[@nez01]

Perioddd! I would side with uma any day lol

[@nez01]

period!! like Uma is my queen I'm sorry not sorry

[@Gsmurf21]

It's crazy when you realise Uma did the same thing Mal did in the first movie

[@soleekgives]

exactly she ain't the villain

[@yellowumbrella2711]

Descendants 2 definitely gives “late night movie adventure” vibe. I love it!

[@omggdea]

"it starts with you and me" girl 😭😭

[@justash1139]

She kept putting that lyric on replay 😭

⁠​⁠@@justash1139 the way its basically like the only lyric in the entire song 😭

22:12 Kenny Ortega actually said that Cameron (and the actress that plays Jane) enjoyed this bit of dancing in the water soooo much, they had so much fun with it.

[@ladytrue1154]

When you got up to do the choreography to Chilling Like a Villian, I hollered.🤣 You are a mood, a vibe, a treasure!✨ Never change.💐

[@ohbooyourselves]

Mal forgot she was from the hood too trynna shade Uma 😂

[@evelynvas3800]

Can we also talk about how Uma was basically walking Harry on a leash this entire movie??

[@growingupwithdisney]

15:55 Evie and Doug’s relationship similarly to Mal and Ben ran its course to me in this movie. Evie and Doug aren’t interesting anymore, and Mal doesn’t want the life being with Ben gives. I’m surprised you didn’t notice the chemistry between Evie and Ben in this movie🙈he also has more chemistry with Uma than Mal too. And seeing what Mal does as future queen in Descendants 3…she’s not cut out for this life

[@hannahmetzger4880]

Uma is an icon and we're all _so_ here for her. 😁😂.

[@nayellievans8012]

You prob thought Mal was Liv because she also plays Liv in Liv and Maddie lmao

[@HannahJones-yx1vu]

She also plays Maddie I just found out that it was her and it wasn't two people playing twins lol

[@itz.Liahere]

"Ben, Shush, i want to see a fight" Yup, that our reaction in that song fr

[@bluemoon7785]

I don't see Uma as a villian. She's just a product of her environment, a kid who deserves a second chance. And yeah, mal did a lot of questionable things in this movie.... And it gets worst. But she is a very grey character, which I like.

[@alessaxreacts9935]

13:05 I realized that Dove is rapping like she’s on Broadway 😭😭 Like it’s giving Lin-Manuel 🤣🤣🤣 Chyna is actually rapping which is why it sounds so much better 😌

[@growingupwithdisney]

That’s why China was eating Dove up in the whole movie, she just adds FLAVOR that this movie revealed Dove unfortunately lacked

It felt random but I liked it. No shade to Descendants but their ending songs aren’t all that

[@growingupwithdisney]

15:47 lol the random Chad insult and compliment combo

[@timothydeneen5389]

*For when you were confused on who Liv is* - Dove Cameron plays mal and before the descendants franchise, dove played in a Disney channel series called liv and Maddie where she played the roles of both twins, Liv and Maddie

[@itsjamesworld6982]

Looking back since there on the island the wand wouldn't even work anyway because in the first movie didn't they say magic doesn't work there and that's why they had to break the barrier 😂

[@growingupwithdisney]

I think the wand is the thing that made there be no magic, so it’s the only thing that can undo it

[@mytowncrown]

21:48 It SRarts WITH yOu And MEh Compilation

[@vashtinayagar1325]

I’m pretty sure Ben is the king of The “United Kingdoms of Auradon”, so basically he’s the king of every kingdom from every fairy tale combined, and Chad is only a king of his kingdom

[@sophia-jx6qz]

OMG YESSSS

[@madnessarcade7447]

It was wrong that she had to lie not that she used it Also in the books magic is considered a cheap fix and they prefer natural talent like hard work and stuff Read the book

[@growingupwithdisney]

I see it as Disney not giving them much of a budget lol

[@harrypottersnumbrfan]

​@@madnessarcade7447 A) It's stated quite blatantly in the first movie, that's fairy godmothers philosophy and she is head of the school, they are meant to follow it as well. B) Evie straight told her that her spellbook belongs in the museum with her mirror. C) Any time she did a spell for herself, people were on her case about it. But if they needed magical help, no judgement

[@theandroidsentbycyberlife]

in the book, beast forbid magic. Maybe thats why? But then again the fairy has her wand at every occasion so idk

Lakia seeing Ben kissing Uma's hand : Aww A few moments later... : Remarks the ring 👁️👄👁️

at 10:17 ..Ben’s parents united all the nations and were crowned king and queen of the “United States of Auradon” they said this in the intro of the first movie

[@lakhvirdeo]

Seeing Cameron now in movies after his death gets me heartbroken. like he was only 20 💔😭

[@frogsonwednesdays]

There are different kingdoms! The school is just in aurodon which is run by beauty and the beast (and they’re the overall rulers but the individual kingdoms still exist- hanover run by snowwhite etc)

Unpopular Disney opinion. I’m tired of the talking sidekicks ( mostly because they’re not funny. Not everyone can be Eddie Murphy)

[@moronmelater9872]

Not unpopular imo. I think Disney just sees one thing work out and decides to replicate it over and over and OVER.

There was this one girl who I had some classes with throughout middle school and high school, and she was black, and after this movie came out, she dyed her hair whitish-aqua and had it in numerous braids and I once heard someone call her "Uma," which confirmed to me that she was trying to look like Uma because Uma's look is so iconic.
