And Disney looks at this info and goes, 'So? The film trilogy, the wedding animated short, and upcoming 4th film are all what matters to us.' I don't even know why most studios don't consider their TV shows for their films canon. Even the Disney Zombies animated shorts are considered canon unless those will be forgotten if Disney decides to give us a 4th entry of the film.

Fun fact: China Anne McClain (the girl that plays Uma) is the same person that sang the first song (night is young) so that's why she sounded familiar😄

Just so you know, in an interview, Dove Cameron said, "For sure [Mal] was also madly in love with Evie. Mal and I...same same baby."

Jane's line in rather be with you was a play to Mal because she's the daughter of Maleficent and her mom used a then current way to cure her victim (auoroa) who's audrey's grandmother, and no one in this current generation would know what a spindal is (and honestly the only reason I know is because of the abc/disney show once upon a time and decendants) in the song "I'm Evil" each child of a fariytale story has a crystal that they were given at birth... the villan kids also have one.. mal's was missing though because Maleficent hid hers from the auradon kingdom and the whole point of the episode was the children going back to the isle and trying to find mal's crystal and when they eventually did they didn't realize that as an added percaution Maleficent cursed her own daugters crystal to turn whoever holds it and looks into evil... oh and there's like a villan in this episode I believe as well (it's more of a B plot) one thing I love about Wicked world the series is that it expands the universe even more! like how we had Dr. Facilia's kid (who was voiced by China Anne Mclain), Alice's Daughter (from Alice and wonderland), and Captain hook's daughter Who we didn't meet in the sequal because all we knew at that point that Captian hook had a son (harry) and the fact that Jane should be able to use magic all her life because she's the daughter of Fairy Godmother (a very powerful magic using being) so it would make sense that her daughter would be passed down the ability to use magic like mal because Mal's the daughter of Malificent whose also a Magical Fairy and when Mal came to Aurodon her powers kicked in (magic was restricted on the isle of the lost) so it would make sense how Mal wouldn't have been able to use her abilities until she came to Aurodon and her powers started working... she also must have been a fast learner because her power grew throughout the first movie as we saw she was finally able to stand up to her mother (magical staring contest) and in the second movie we see mal struggling with her powers growing and overwhelming her....
