Last week, our family reunited on the couch after vacation to rewatch Disney's Descendants. With snacks and drinks in hand, it was the ideal family movie night. As parents of kids aged 7 and nearly 12, we're thrilled for Disney Descendants 2 and plan to enjoy it together.
Our biggest challenge is finding movies that entertain everyone from young kids to adults. Disney consistently delivers, whether animated or live-action, ensuring no family debates over picks.

In the magical world of Auradon, heroes like Beast and Belle have children, including Prince Ben, who's preparing for his coronation. Ben's first act as leader? Offer a second chance to the offspring of villains exiled on the Isle of the Lost—proving that kids aren't defined by their parents.
Mal (daughter of Maleficent), Evie (daughter of the Evil Queen), Carlos (son of Cruella de Vil), and Jay (son of Jafar) get to leave the island and attend Auradon Prep. Their villain parents scheme to escape by having them steal the Fairy Godmother's wand. But Mal falls for Ben, complicating loyalties amid distrust from Auradon's residents. How it unfolds? A thrilling ride we won't spoil.
The soundtrack is outstanding—energetic and catchy, perfect for our 7- and 11-year-old. Songs are in English while the film is dubbed in Dutch, but the original vocals elevate the hip tracks. Expect the same for Descendants 2.
