It is embarrassing that Disney is colliding universes and bringing them to the modern day. The song are bad, the SFX and CGI is bad, and even the actors, believe it or not. Do not watch this unless you are a child 7 years old or younger.

The film picks up where the last on leaves off. There is no introduction of characters or any kind or recap of the events. Our teens are starting to "couple up" with Mal having second thoughts and some self-esteem issues. In this chapter Disney takes a stab at diversity. The famous evil parents are not in this movie and we have a baby Hook who was more inspired by Johnny Depp than Captain Hook. The music was more hip-hop and I didn't enjoy it as much as the original, even though the choreography was spot on.I thought the plot was a miss. They certainly could have done a better job there. It seems like this production may be nothing more than a connection type of movie with the promise of the next feature being much better. It sure did end that way. The opening made me hungry for candy apples.

In the Magic Kingdom I'm sure on the boards are plans for Descendents 3 and 4 or as many as the franchise and the contracts of the young players will allow. For myself I was having the same trouble I did with the first one, reconciling where Oredon and the Isle of the Lost were in relation to this plane of existence. In fact I keep thinking of Oredon as Oregon and maybe we all ought to move out there.The four children of villains Dove Cameron, Booboo Stewart, Sofia Carson, and Cameron Boyce are settling nicely into Oredonian life, but there's a twinge of homesickness. Ready able and willing to take advantage of that twinge is Cameron's old rival Chyna Ann McLain. She gets a hold of the spell book and strange things start happening.The cast is attractive and the principal players talented both musically and dramatically. Descendents 2 is a pleasant bit of viewing.

Contains mild spoilers....I wanted to say that I love this movie series and the animated shorts that partner with it. This movie was awesome, though I will say it had a couple low points for me, one of them being the final "battle​" between Uma and Mal. The CGI wasn't where it should have been but the the ending number was pretty good. Another low for me was anything with Chad, out of all the characters ever done as a part of this series, Chad was the one character that no matter what I could do without. He should've been on the trip with Audrey, who wasn't in this movie. I also wanted to say that I know a lot of people have left bad reviews and I think that it's worth giving a chance. It is not like a lot of the other DCOM movies, which I have to say have gone downhill over the years, but this is one series that stands out and brings the imagination of DCOM movies of old. 😊 Two musical numbers stand out the most and have gotten stuck in my head in the past week and those are "ways to be wicked" and "what's my name?" I can't even explain how happy I was when Mal went back to all purple for her hair color. That's one thing that I love about the hair and make-up in these movies, they aren't afraid to have their characters having unnatural hair colors. I know blonde is the color that Dove Cameron has on a regular basis but the purple is much more wicked. Not to mention, Uma's hair was amazing. New character Dizzy brought a creative streak to the film that started with Evie but Dizzy is a force to be reckoned with. Lanie is awesome!!! She is so much like her mother in this movie, for those of you who don't know, her mother's Mulan. I loved her in the first movie and wished she had more screen time and in this movie that wish came true. The way she tries to make it into the team and struggles against the sexist views of a few....mainly Chad... And how she joins in the pirate fight was awesome. Her mother taught her well. I am so glad this movie came out the way it did, except for a couple things, and I hope that they continue the series. Though with the closing line of Uma there's a good chance they will, or at least plan to.
