Disney's “Descendants", A Modern Reimagining of Infamous Villains and their Offsprings Premieres Sunday, September 13 on Disney Channel South East Asia
5 September 2015, Manila: Disney’s “Descendants” is a live-action movie
that fuses castles with classrooms to create a contemporary, music-driven story
about the challenges in living up to parental and peer expectations. Starring Dove
Cameron (Disney Channel’s Liv and Maddie),
Cameron Boyce (Disney Channel’s Jessie),
Booboo Stewart (Twilight, X-Men Days of
Future Past) and Sofia Carson as the
teenage sons and daughters of Disney's most infamous villains, the movie will
premiere on Sunday, 13 September on Disney Channel Southeast Asia.
Driven by exciting music and performance, the story is set in the idyllic
kingdom of Auradon where Prince Ben, the benevolent teenaged son of the King
and Queen (Beast and Belle from "Beauty and the Beast"), is poised to
take the throne. His first proclamation is to offer a chance at redemption to
Mal, Evie, Carlos and Jay, the trouble-making offspring of Maleficent, the Evil
Queen, Cruella de Vil and Jafar, who have been imprisoned on the forbidden Isle
of the Lost. These villainous descendants are allowed into Auradon for the
first time to attend prep school alongside the teenage progeny of Fairy
Godmother, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Mulan.
As these sons and daughters of evil meet the children of goodness, their
story incorporates empowering themes about self-confidence, finding the beauty
within, freedom of choice, personal responsibility, teamwork, justice and
empathy.
The notable cast also includes Mitchell Hope (Prince Ben), Wendy Raquel
Robinson (Cruella de Vil), and the Tony Award-winning Kristin Chenoweth
(Maleficent). Emmy Award-winning Kenny Ortega ("High School Musical")
directs, choreographs and executive-produces Disney's "Descendants."
