Descendants

When my sister's DVR died and she had to get a new one from the cable company, my 7-year-old niece's only concern was losing the copy of "Descendants" they had recorded. I bought this disc to replace the lost digital copy and to give her something to watch in the car on longer trips -- and it has been played almost as many times as the digital copy. The basic story is "new classic" Disney; moral lessons presented in a highly entertaining manner, with surprisingly good acting and some musical numbers that I actually don't mind getting caught in my head from time to time. Although pitched to young "tweens," Descendants is written and performed well enough to remain entertaining for adults -- a good thing, since my niece has had me (and/or her other grownups) watch it literally several dozen times in its entirety, plus still keeps "Rotten to the Core" in her iTunes playlist. While my niece enjoys the dancing, music, and fun of living in a magic land, her grownups like the fact that there are some very simple, basic morals being presented both religion-free AND in a non-cookie-cutter manner. Not only is it made obvious why being good is better than being bad, it's also shown that being too full of yourself is not good; that assuming superiority because you're "good" instead of "bad" can lead "bad guys" being better people in general; that judging people without knowing them, based on what other people have done, can lead to wrong assumptions; that it's a good thing to remain true to yourself AND be part of a larger group; and that every person has their own set of talents and capabilities that they should embrace and not bury just to be popular (or to hook up with the popular kids).

Great quality movie for under $5. The case did get damaged in the package; it didn’t affect the dvd. I also received this a day earlier than expected. I would buy from this seller again.

Absolutely love the descendants franchise. They are fun, entertaining, great actors and storyline. Great for people of all ages , fun to have storylines including all of the Disney characters we grew up with

Cute movie, love the music! Love the spin on Disney characters

I got this for myself (at 44) when Amazon was running a $0.99 special on the rental, and I liked it. The first five or so minutes had me regretting my purchase because it seemed like a childish made-for-TV movie, and I thought it would really only appeal to younger kids. However, as the movie went on, it became more appealing to me. It is a good movie for kids as there is no "adult" content or anything inappropriate, but it became much less "childish" after the first few minutes and I think it will appeal to adults, too. I like Disney movies and cartoons, and I thought it was a cool idea to have a show about the kids of characters that I've watched over the years. It's a fun show. It's not a highly polished movie with top-tier actors, but the younger actors in this are certainly talented. They act over the top at times, but I think that's just because that's what the movie called for. I'd recommend it as a nice movie for the family or just for yourself (perhaps on a lazy weekend).

All I've got to say is that this movie was sooo good! Okay so this was my second time watching this movie. Once before I read the book and the second time after I read the book. The book was a prologue to the movie and this movie sort of starts right where the book ended. Granted I said sort of because we have to go through Mal talking and bringing us into with what was going through in Auradon if we haven’t read the book. Sure some people say that this movie sucks but to someone that has watched the old Disney and some of the new Disney that this movie is really good. I love all the songs that was in the movie along with the acting. I love the way that they changed ethnicity of some of the characters in the movie so that it works well with the kids nowadays. I don’t know for about some other people but I always wondered what happened after each happily ever after that happened in the movies. Now with this movie I can squash that wondering since I have it. I love all of the characters in the movies because they are all different. The thing that I love is the way that the book tied in even more with the movie. Prince Ben and Mal both have visions of the other in both different locations than of where they were. Mal had a vision of her and Ben’s first date in Auradon and Ben had a vision of Mal helping him up in Isle of the Lost. I also like how Mal, Evie, Jay and Carlos’s kind of friendship transferred into the movie. If anyone asked me about this movie I will say that it is a five butterflies and that they should really watch this movie after they read the book!

Admittedly this is a movie aimed at young girls but hey I'm 22 and I absolutely loved it. I've watched it twice in two days! The songs are catchy and the choreography is superb. The characterization is so believable and all the actors are so so good. Kristin Chenoweth is amazing as always, and the newer actors as the Villains' Kids are amazing raw talent. The premise and storyline are well thought out and it flows very naturally. In my opinion this is so much better than your classic High School Musical because while it may be in a fantasy world it has so much more relevance to our everyday lives. It also isn't too cheesy with the moral background. The Villains' Kids are accepted even with brightly colored hair and flashy (AMAZING) clothes. Gotta say, I am sad they don't make the character costumes for Mal in adult sizes or I would get all of her clothes, she's my fave.

Go for it...the movie is awesome. .!!hd and it has bonus features. .just superb
