In this newest installment in the mega-hit "Descendants" franchise, former Villain Kid Uma, now headmaster of Auradon Prep, extends an invite to the school to another VK -- Red, the rebellious daughter of the tyrannical Queen of Hearts from Wonderland. The Queen of Hearts has long held a grudge against Auradon, and especially Cinderella, and seizes the opportunity to seek revenge when she drops her daughter off at school. When the Queen of Hearts incites a coup against Auradon, Red must team up with Cinderella's perfectionist daughter Chloe and travel back in time to try to undo the traumatic event that set Red’s mother down her villainous path.

Youngsters who are ready to be introduced to the wonder of musicals would be better off discovering an old chestnut such as 1939′s "Babes in Arms."

I appreciate that both girls came to understand their mothers better and feel more humanity towards them.

Descendants: The Rise of Red is a mixed bag. I really enjoyed this cast and the music, but there were a lot of missed opportunities and holes in the story that tied back to the writing team.

What might have been once fantastical Disney effects are now purse-sized disappointments -- a time machine is a pocket-watch; the magic mirror a compact.

While the effort is certainly there, it still can’t quite reach the highs of its predecessors, instead offering a fourth installment that is lackluster in both its musical moments and overarching story.

Descendants Rise of Red is satanic and full of witchcraft straight from Satan. This movie causes all kinds of bad luck to us before it's aired on Disney Channel. The music and the characters are horrible. This movie promotes Satanism and racism. Do NOT watch this movie.

out of all the movies this has go to be the worst one i have ever watched. its slow. rushed and it just doesn't fit the same vibe as the other 3. including the rise of red in this movie franchise has got to be a waste of time as they didn't really need to do that

The ending was pretty abrupt, some songs were boring, and the return of Uma just felt like nostalgia bait but overall I enjoyed it. The new characters were cute, especially Bridget. BRIDGET WAS ADORABLE!!!!! I JUST WANTED TO HUG HER THE WHOLE TIME!!!! I even loved how it expanded the Descendants universe by introducing us to Wonderland. Chloe and Red are really cool protagonists in my opinion and you can tell that Kylie Cantrall and Malia Baker were both having a BLAST. The pocket watch time machine was really cool as well. In fact, that’s something I absolutely ADORED about this movie. The time travel adventure was really fun, in my opinion. I am MASSIVE fan of time travel movies so I enjoyed that. I also thought that Uliana was a decent villain too. As a whole, Descendants: The Rise of Red may not be perfect, but there’s still a lot to love in this. Rating: 6/10
