I love these movies only because the base story has SO MUCH POTENTIAL. If they gave it a proper budget and some proper actors and maybe fixed some of the loop holes and didn't go too kiddish it would make a very good movie or tv show. Along the lines of Once upon a time but in the fairytale world and about their kids.

[@oh_omo7989]

they have tones of songs to make kids like it. the idea of VK's is a good one,but should have been done aimed at YA,not kids. and they want more movies about it.

[@VampyBlood17]

Welchy not knowing that Maleficent is being played by arguably one of the most famous (and dramatic) Broadway singers ever, Ms Kristin Chenoweth is hilarious. Also the game they are playing is called Lacrosse but they added the canons for dramatic effect.

[@takclaw10]

Oh boy here we go. Descendents is one of those movies that if you think too logically and critically it just ruins it. Better to go in and just have fun with it. Even if it is overly cheesy at points and over the top, it's such a fun time.

[@VampyBlood17]

You can tell the cast just had fun with it. Like Welchy said it’s one of those movies that’s so bad it’s good! If you really want to enjoy it then get on a nostalgia train with some other friends who’ve seen it and play a drinking game! Makes the viewing experience that much better

For some reason I never questioned why only one guard was looking after all those artifacts.

[@Adrian-yn3lb]

Maybe because there are supposed to be only good guys in the realm (since all the evil ones are imprisoned at the island) so there shouldn't be anyone who wants to steal them.

I wanted to let you know that I’m a recent subscriber, and your videos legitimately bring me joy. There are so many commentators on this platform that are trying to be be sardonic or pick apart the things they’re watching; but you always seem to come into it with an attitude of wanting to have fun, more than anything else. I really appreciate that. The world is always so hectic. But thousands of miles away there’s a guy who likes to sit down and have fun watching movies, and that makes me happy.

[@Pancakeonapan]

Now looking back at this movie a few years later its god awful but also pretty nostalgic to the times where i didnt know what the world was really like and when i thought i was an actual disney princess-

[@WhitneyDahlin]

It's because of Disney making The Descendants that Ever After High got canceled. Ever After High was arguably a way better version of this story. The animation was beautiful, the story lines were interesting, the characters were pretty complex. And Disney just stole the idea and cheaply created The descendants. F**ked up.

[@Pancakeonapan]

@@WhitneyDahlin yeah i agree i remember thinking “wtf happened to ever after high?” Then i discovered descendants

[@aniflowers1998]

[@shismith8785]

R.I.P Cameron Boyce, we miss you ☹️

[@elithesia781]

The reason I like these movies is because they gave me exactly what I was expecting. Enjoyable cheese. For me personally, it kinda has that Kingdom Hearts vibe of taking an admittedly silly concept and playing it 100% straight for enjoyment. You can tell everyone is having fun even when they're not the best, which helps gives the movies a charm to them for being what they are. Plus, it also makes perfect sense to both play into and make fun of Disney tropes because these characters were quite literally raised on them.

[@corndog7813]

we definitely watched in the same era as Disney hence, I recommend you also watch Lemonade mouth. It's just years after HM3 and i believe it's one of their underrated gems. It's a musical too and did not flop as hard as teen beach. (no shade)

The logic of J being Jafars son makes zero sense, bc think about it What is Jafar: cunning, manipulative sophisticated, judgy but most importantly a sorcerer What J is, a thief, athletic Jock and ladies man, kinda simple... So instead of making Jafars son similar to him or a parady, Jafars son is basically Dumb Alladin! How??

[@calebray1834]

Yeah he seems more like Aladdin’s son.

[@sandymae1790]

Except for the theories that Jay might be Aladdin's son (which doesn't make sense unless you read the book, the second specifically)... There was another theory that Jafar raised his son to be the evil counterpart of his archenemy... And to stock the shelves in his junk shop (by stealing) *And Jafar only let his son sleep under a shelf stacked with heavy TVs and any night he could be crushed to death in his sleep.

There is a lot that comes before the film.

Welchy, I'm going to quote Flynn Ryder (Eugene Fitzherbert) here. "I think you broke my smoulder." Thanks for giving me a huge permasmile like the dang Joker! I am so excited to hear your thoughts on the Descendants movie(s?). I've watched each one at least 10x, and the number of watches only grew as each movie got released! It may be a guilty pleasure, but I love that people like you, even ask cool and sweet as you are, are willing to give the original, at least, a fair shake that our four main VKs didn't have before the start of this film. Plus it's a lot of fun to see reviewers like Bobsheaux have a conniption, but I think you can more easily keep your cool enough that we viewers don't need your address and 911 on speed dial.
