If you’re a fan of Disney movies then you know those Disney Villains all too well. Villains like Queen who gave poor Snow White the poison apple, Maleficent who put a curse on Sleeping Beauty, Cruella de Vil who kidnapped all those poor dalmatians to make herself a new coat. And let’s know forget Jafar who plots to take over the Sultans throne. These are the villains we love to hate. But what happens to these villains after the fact. Do they grow old, have kids and where exactly do they live? That’s exactly what you will find out in the all new Disney Descendants movie.
What is Disney Descendants About

The story is set in the kingdom of Auradon which is home to Ben which is the son of the King and Queen (Beast and Belle from Beauty and the Beast).

Descendants Movie Review
I don’t want to spoil the movie for you guys but I will say it is without a doubt my favorite Disney channel movie of all time. The story line, the music, the dance numbers, the cast, all of it combined make this movie outstanding. From the very first musical number “Rotten To The Core”, I knew that I was going to love the movie. And it’s one of those musical films that have you singing the songs even after the movie has ended. Actually I am singing Rotten To the Core in my head as I type this. The songs are just super catchy.
But aside from the music and dancing there is a really great story surrounding the kids of these evil villains. The movie helps show that you have the choice to make your own decisions. This is a really great film that I think the whole family will enjoy. We will be watching tonight? Will you? Disney Descendants will premiere on the Disney Channel this Friday (July 31st) at 8:00pm.
