Good is the new bad might as well be the mantra for the Disney Channel Original Movie The Descendants. We start with four kids of famous villains Mal daughter of Maleficent, Carlos son of Cruella, Evie daughter of the Evil Queen and Jay son of Jafar. These four kids are in for the ride of a lifetime as they navigate Auradon Prep a school where good reigns supreme and the students are sweet as apple pie!
One thing I loved about this movie was the notion that we choose our own fate and how people perceive us isn’t always who we are. We make our own destiny so to speak. I think it’s a great message for kids around the world to learn and understand, we’re all different some more than others but that makes the world what it is. Of course famed High School Musical director Kenny Ortega telling the story through his magical eyes helps the movie along as well.
The bonus features on this movie are relatively short and small but packed with awesomeness from #Mal which gives us a look into the lives of the characters after the movie through social media platforms and of course bloopers which are always my favorite part of bonus features and something I’m glad was included in this movie! (Kristen Chenoweth and Kathy Nijimy being adorable? Yes please!) You can also check out behind the scenes footage of dance rehearsals and find out some of the casts surprisingly limited original dance talents an how hard they worked to make the dance moves in the movie as amazing as they were! Plus get a look at Descendants: Wicked World a new short form animated series based off the movie! (Spoiler: It looks adorable!)
All in all I give this movie an A+ for effort creativity and message. I hope to see a Descendants 2 in the future!
