I love that wand ID intro, and I love this movie. Sure, parts of it can be a bit cheesy, but it's fun seeing so many homages to Disney's classic movies, fantastic elements in a modern setting has always been an interesting concept to me, and some of these songs are actually pretty fire. ("Rotten To The Core" being my personal favorite.) And of course, Rest in Peace Cameron Boyce AKA Carlos. You were taken from us far too soon.

[@eline_van_dijk]

This movie was actually directed and choreographed by Kenny Ortega who also did High School Musical and Julie and the Phantoms, choreographed Dirty Dancing and worked with Michael Jackson. So I guess that sort of explains why the dancing and music especially are just really good in this franchise. Second one is my favorite though, especially the song What's My Name by China Anne McClain featuring Thomas Doherty. You should definitely finish the series

[@TheMarvelousM]

He also directed Hocus Pocus.

Whoever edited this deserves a raise 🥹 u literally brought my childhood back for a moment in time 😊 thank u ❤

[@bidwell13]

There was a prequel story that talked about Ben having a dream about Mal before he talked to his parents about bringing them over. Didn’t really know her name (I believe) so when he saw her for the first time in real life it was like a dream come true. These are actually pretty well done trilogy. I think the eye thing between Mal & Maleficent is the equivalent of having a verbal argument/ staring contest.

[@Jessbeargaming]

Oh I'm guessing the prequel story is a book? I'd love to read or watch somewhere

[@bidwell13]

@@Jessbeargaming it’s called “Isle of the Lost: A Descendants prequel” by Melissa De La Cruz

[@NathanWolke]

My youngest is currently in a local theater doing this musical for the couple weeks and they’re playing Jay. For a cheesy Disney movie, it’s pretty well done. The sequels are pretty good, too.

[@unclewiley1986]

Kenny Ortega is pretty good at making something super cheesy and still really entertaining

[@DailyHighMom]

R.I.P. Cameron Boyce. The 2nd movie I think is the best in the franchise

[@tylerjohnson1947]

First R.I.P. Cameron Boyce Second Descendants is definitely a great DCOM series, D2 actually introduces one of my favorite characters And third Maleficent is a Wicked FairyGodmother, however we later learn in D3 that Mal actually has the potential to be more powerful than her mother

[@imokayy]

The interesting thing with Avery is that she isn’t like that and you don’t get that until later. Her grandma literally told her that she’s pathetic because she couldn’t pull a prince like her mom Sleeping Beauty and the way to do that was to be like a a cute brat

[@Pokyhawk]

If you want to hear Kristin Chenoweth (Maleficent) sing up a storm, there is another musical that is criminally overlooked. She provides the voice of the Sugar Plum Fairy in George Lucas' "Strange Magic" (2015). It features some of the best voice actors available and one of the most kickin' eclectic soundtracks with music from Elvis Presley to Bob Marley to Heart to Beyonce. You should check it out.

[@nora_1995]

Easily one of the best DCOM ever. The songs are ALL hits. Best songs are from the second movie tho. As for choreography, the best is in the third movie

[@dcemerald70]

This was a good reaction! The first film was a great introduction to the Descendants universe. The overall message is that anyone has the capability to do good or do evil. So you shouldn’t judge others until you get to know them. There is a book series that take place in between the films as well as an animated series. In the prequel book, “The Isle of the Lost”, we learn more about our main VKs (Villain Kids) and AKs (Auradon Kids). As for the ending, keep in mind that they just chose to be good, and they’re still gonna have to face other obstacles like temptations or fitting in. Also they’re no the only VKs who want to get off the island. I know you haven’t seen any of the original animated film, but they do give you a basic point of explaining their parents’ history and there are small nods to them. Like the irony that most of the Auradon parents and kids are hypocrites like how Beast judges the kids based on parentage when he got cursed for his own vanity or that Chad thinks his family’s royal status gives him the right to mistreat others when his own mother was given the same treatment and that his father fell in love with her kind heart instead of her appearance. #RIPCameronBoyce 😈👩🏻‍🎤🪄🐲💜💙💛❤️

I love that you're giving this movie a chance, but I would recommend watching some of the classics before you judge the legacy characters too harshly. Particularly Queen Leah. But I would also very much appreciate if you give the whole series a watch, for you to share your experience. Also, Maleficent (the film) was a favorite of mine, so I would love it if you would give that one a watch, too.

[@Mikayla_DeAnne]

As someone who watched theses movies when I was about 20-21(almost 23 now) I loved them! Of course, I have the mind of a 14 year old so that might be why 😅 But seeing Disney make these movies with inspiration from their take on fairy tail villains and their kids just brings such good nostalgia! I loved the dancing and songs and getting to see actors I had seen in my tween years from their Disney channel shows in a Disney movie as young adults was great. I have all the songs from all three movies on a Spotify playlist that I listen too with some other Disney channel movie songs. Despite the movies being cheesy(but, I'm a girl who loves cheesy gestures), I also have almost all the songs from the three Z-O-M-B-I-E-S movies in the playlist. Milo(the main actor in the zombies movies) is my current "Disney" crush 😅 More people should react to the ZOMBIES movies and Descendants movies on here! I love seeing people's opinions on movies I love and their reactions ❤ Watching the last movie in this trilogy is heartbreaking knowing it was one of Cameron's (Carlos in the movies) last before his sudden passing(he had seizures and from my understanding was how he went). It's sad looking back on these movies despite loving them knowing his time was cut so short. He had a bright future in acting, dancing, and singing. I had the biggest crush on him when he was on that Disney show called JESSIE with Debby Ryan. Rest in peace Cameron Boyce 💜💔 I think Dove(Mal in the movies) said they are making a 4th movie but I don't know if that's changed. I think it was after Cameron's passing they decided to do it for the wedding of Mal and Prince Ben but they did do an animated thing with that so I don't know if they are still doing the live action one or not. Someone else could probably clarify that since I only heard it in passing and can't really say for sure 😅 I couldn't imagine another movie without Cameron though 💔

[@ddlovatofan915]

I loved these movies too, after watching them for the first time during quarantine at 25! Lol While definitely cheesy at times the story was good, the music was good, and the costumes are fire. 🔥 Especially the VK fits because I love leather, studs, and the grungy look (I really appreciated them as a designer myself). The 2nd one is my favorite but I hadn't watched Disney since probably 2012 and was presently suprised how good this series was. But when I saw it was directed by Kenny Ortega I was like okay I see why (a disney legend) lol. But I definitely go back every so often on Disney+ and watch all 3 of these movies. I wish they came out during my disney era but I was almost 21 when the first one premiered.😅

What i liked most about this series is the irony sprinckled throughout... most obvious in the interest evie has with doug.. evie being the evil queen's daughter and doug being the son of one of the seven dwarf's... its more ironic later in the series with this particular relationship in the third movie...

if youre saying that the casting for Cruella was interesting because she's black, Cameron Boyce was actually African-American and African Caribbean. His grandmother is actually part of the Clinton 12, a group of African-American students who integrated the all white Clinton High School in Clinton, Tennessee in 1956.
