Ask any one of my friends, and they will tell you I am a die hard Disney girl. Except, I don't really like the current shows on Disney Channel. I grew out of them, mostly.
There are a small few shows I watch because the content is there. They're not 'music' based. In my opinion, Disney just needs to leave the singing to their musicals.
Recently, there was a new Disney movie out and I usually give those a chance. You can't go wrong with a DCOM, am I right? This certain one is titled "Descendants 2." I didn't watch the first one, so I streamed it.
Oh my goodness!
Disney brings back so much goodness. For those who don't know, "Descendants" is when "the happily ever after" begins. All the OG Princesses and Princes are married, and they even have kids! That also means the Villains -- who were banished to an island -- had kids. This movie is one of the best Disney Channel movies I have ever seen in the past 8 years
Here are 11 thoughts I had while watching the series:
**Spoilers ahead**
1. Wait, why are all these kids around the same age?
Was there a magic spell or curse that birthed these children?
2. Who would have kids with these villains?
It's Disney, so everyone has a 'Happily Ever After.' Does this mean each Villian has a love interest? Why don't we ever see them, or hear a mention of them?
3. Why are Belle and Adam running the country?
Shouldn't Cinderella and Charming run it? They do have that castle in Disney World...
4. Why is this music so catchy?
"Ways To Be Wicked" and "What's My Name" are some of the best musical songs since High School Musical: Senior Year.
5. Ben is like 16. Why is he being crowned King now?
Belle and Adam are still alive and kicking. There is no reason for them to pass down the crown just yet.
6. Why is Belle played by the Blue Fairy...?
Did Disney not think to bring "Once Upon A Time's" Belle to the movie instead of Blue Fairy?
7. Ok, so these kids names start with the same letter as their parents...
Mal, Evie, Jay, and Carlos are a spin off of Maleficent, Evil Queen, Jamar, and Cruella. Interesting.
8. Where are Ariel and Eric?
They are no where to be found, including Rapunzel. What the heck, Disney?
9. The tension between Harry and Mal is real.
Like, do they have a past we don't know about? I need to know!
10. This is one of the more modest movies in a while.
All the 'short' skirts have leggings with them, and there aren't any weird necklines. Love that!
11. This is a super good movie.
I secretly hope there will be a third one, oops.
If you haven't checked out any of the "Descendants" movies, I would highly suggest watching them. Especially if you're a Disney Princess lover. It puts a new spin on a classic fairy tale!
