DESCENDANTS
Get Ready for Disney’s Newest Movie Event Available on DVD July 31st

Starring Tony and Emmy Award-Winner Kristin Chenoweth as the Classic Villain Maleficent


Review of The Descendants DVD:
I have seen several ads for this movie and thought it looked great, so I received one for reviewing purposes. It's more for the pre-teen / teenager age crowd more so than for the mom age crowd, but all in all it's still a good movie and is family friendly. It has some characters that are from other Disney movies from years in the past that I have on VHS!
