The Descendants 2

[maxbutton id=”11″ ]

 

Chances are if you have kids you have heard of the Disney Original The Descendants 2. If not I’m not sure whether to shake your hand or pity you. We had been seeing commercials and such for it since sometime last month. Maybe before because you know how kids are, once they see something you hear about it for a while. So when the chance came for us to check it out I jumped at it. Talk about being mom of the year! They had seen the first one back when it came out and I sort of remember it. This is one of those movies that your kids (especially the tweens) will love.

SYNOPSIS….

The story deepens in the music-driven sequel to the global smash hit “Descendants,” as the teenage sons and daughters of Disney’s most infamous villains — Mal, Evie, Carlos and Jay (also known as Villain Kids or VKs) — try to find their place in idyllic Auradon.

When the pressure to be royally perfect becomes too much for Mal, she returns to her rotten roots on the Isle of the Lost where her archenemy Uma, the daughter of Ursula, has taken her spot as self-proclaimed queen of the run-down town.  Uma, still resentful over not being selected by Ben to go to Auradon Prep with the other Villain Kids, stirs her pirate gang including Captain Hook’s son Harry and Gaston’s son Gil, to break the barrier between the Isle of the Lost and Auradon, and unleash all the villains imprisoned on the Isle, once and for all.

 

Our Thoughts….

The younger kids loved the music. Since they aren’t really old enough to understand the themes they just dance around with the music. For me I love the themes and there are more than enough. This is going to be one of those that becomes a Disney classic that your grandchildren’s children will be watching. Another thing that I enjoyed was that they have really created an entire new world that truly wowed me. Of course we have had to watch it like a million times already but that is alright. The cast is wonderful and is full of names that you (or your kids at least) may recongize.
