This movie is about a present day idyllic kingdom,
the benevolent teen-aged son of the King and Queen (Beast and Belle from
Disney’s iconic “Beauty and the Beast”) is poised to take the throne. His first proclamation: offer a chance at redemption to the
trouble-making offspring of Cruella de Vil, Maleficent the Evil Queen and Jafar who have been imprisoned on a forbidden island
with all the other villains, sidekicks, evil step-mothers and step-sisters. These villainous descendants (Carlos, Mal,
Evie and Jay, respectively) are allowed into the kingdom to attend prep school
alongside the offspring of iconic Disney heroes, including Fairy Godmother,
Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel and Mulan.
However, the evil teens face a dilemma.
Should they follow in their nefarious parents’ footsteps and help all
the villains regain power or embrace their innate goodness and save the
kingdom?
My Opinion: I thought this good movie and a twist on
the classic fairytales to show their kids and what would they choose good or
evil? It was very entertaining and a great family film.
