Descendants (2015)

Descendants (2015) kicks off the saga with a wickedly fun twist—what if the kids of Disney villains got a second chance? This first film introduces us to Mal, Evie, Jay, and Carlos, the children of Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Jafar, and Cruella de Vil. Talk about iconic lineage!

The VKs (Villain Kids) are brought from the Isle of the Lost to the kingdom of Auradon, where they’re supposed to learn how to be “good.” But Mal has a secret mission: steal the Fairy Godmother’s wand and help her mom take over. 🪄😏

It’s a mix of magic, high school drama, and killer fashion. The story is super fun, with themes of identity, friendship, and choosing your own path. Dove Cameron shines as Mal, bringing depth to a character caught between two worlds.

The songs are catchy (“Rotten to the Core” will live in your head forever), and the choreography is full of attitude. Sure, it’s a bit cheesy—but in the best way.

Descendants is more than just a fun Disney Channel movie—it’s about rewriting your story, no matter where you come from. And that? That’s powerful. 💜✨
