Descendants moves quickly through its two-hour-long running time, builds momentum off of a handful of peppy tunes, and delivers a colorful confection that's sure to impress the younger crowd. Go to Full Review Brian Lowry Variety 09/09/2019
The movie boasts a stronger, more assured story than most of the recent youth-oriented live-action musicals Disney has offered, with plenty of brightly colored bells and whistles as well as songs that range from Broadway to rap. Go to Full Review Amy Amatangelo The Hollywood Reporter 09/09/2019
Will Descendants create the next Zac Efron or Vanessa Hudgens? Of the crowd, [Dove] Cameron seems to have the most star potential. Go to Full Review Jodi Smith Pajiba 09/09/2019
The lesson of Descendants is to choose love instead of hate. Those are definitely lessons worth learning, even if they are dressed in song and dance numbers and simplistic dialogue. Go to Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 09/09/2019
At 111 minutes, Descendants feels too long and overly tactical. Go to Full Review Emily Ashby Common Sense Media 09/09/2019
4/5
This much-anticipated fairy tale add-on isn't perfect, but it's highly entertaining in the kind of young-love, flash-mob, song-and-dance manner that tends to thrill the youngsters Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Charlie D @Sj29o1 Jan 31 The song red is blie pinkamf red bit werid for a domg called red See more Noah H. @Noah85 Jan 16 It’s pretty cheesy, but it’s a good cheesy. I really enjoyed it. It’s really cool to see a Disney universe in which some of the most famous Disney characters have children. Songs were cool too. Highly recommend for Disney fans. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 4 Watching Descendants shows how committed Disney is to building new franchises for a younger generation. The film smartly centers on the children of Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Jafar, and Cruella, giving the story a fun twist as these teens struggle between their parents’ darkness and their desire to be good. The music is incredibly catchy, and the dancing adds energy that keeps the film entertaining throughout. It also blends nostalgia by placing Belle and the Beast’s son at the center of the kingdom, tying classic characters to a modern storyline. Some character changes feel unnecessary and slightly disconnect longtime fans, but they don’t overshadow the film’s charm. Overall, the movie is cute, lively, and memorable, with songs that stick in your head long after the credits roll. See more Muhammad A @RT30128398 Nov 29 Hay que tener en cuenta que es dirigida a un público infantil (los niños más pequeños), es excelente película, su trama es novedosa, tiene e inculca buenos valores constantemente (puedes dejar al hijo frente al televisor tranquilo, no va a haber problema), la vestimenta está muy bien, es familiar, con un desarrollo de personajes bien hecho (porque tiene sentimiento, hecho con cariño), las canciones son buenas y agradables (así las recuerdo), en general se distruta y ayuda a pasar un buen rato con cosas cotidianas y actividades normales que tienen lo suficiente como para cumplir su función.
