They might be making another one cause it seems like they hinted that. Edit: had to mention that the casting for the queen of heart imo was perfect!!! She kilt it as a villian.
EXACTLY!! Ursula already had a little sister named Morgana, introduced in little mermaid 2, but they decided to just invent an entirety new character for some reason?? And the boy she’s friends with says he’s the son of morgana but I’m not sure who he’s talking about. And the group of bullies are called VKs even though most of them aren’t villain kids their just villains. how does fairy god mother become Cinderella’s god mother if they’re the same age? And the main one: if the book freezes the person who opens it if they're evil, how did the Uliana even do the prank in the first place?
morgana is from the king Arthur stories, hence why they change the name for uma's aunt. the plot issues are probably gonna be answered in the movie. the hatter mention they are consequences when messing with time & uma at the end mentions this as well. red changing her mom past is gonna have consequences cause if her mom is good then she cant be the villian of wonderland & if shes not the villian then who is? it could be alice which could be a twist
So is he Rita Ora's / Bridget's generation or is he supposed to be Red's generation?? I was having a hard time placing it since he definitely looks older but ik they cast older actors to play younger ones all the time
@@jayx629 I think he similar to Mal and the others. Ik he looks older but we do know it's been a few years since the 3rd movie and ppl who age fast also exist.

If mal was there Queen of heart would've been FRIED up immediately 😭😂 She's really dumb for doing this when she doesn't know when Mal was coming back. Does she not know their queen is a dragon/demigod??
Sorry, my brain has reminded me that Bridget was bullied by Mal's parents, she was there when they were together and possibly in their stupid lovesick teenage phase. That's wild. I think that would have made her hate Mal more if she met her
Yep. Maybe in canon, Mal trained herself to be able to protect everyone better. She might not use the spell book but she is still capable of using magic. And if the Queen of Hearts knew about the VKs then what made her think that declaring war would be a good thing? Dumb decision on her part but hey, maybe she knew that reinforcements WOULDN'T show up in time. (It might have worked better if they used double agents and instead of those people reforming, they stay villains and help the queen from the inside that way she has a guarantee that nobody can help the situation at Auradon Prep)
Villains don’t know how to love- they’ve invested in the opposite end of expression. They do, however, lust- thus, children. Because they don’t make smart choices, so of course they won’t be careful/use protection.
This movie was good but still probably my least favorite just bc of the ending. Also there's a lot of things they did with the music I didn't like. The OG trilogy will always be on the top for me, i hope they improve for D5
@@viviananan exactly a lot of them weren't necessary. There was also so much flat out talking in so many of the songs. Fight of our lives is a meh song in my opinion, I hope D5 has deeper songs
With the fact that Brandy reprising her Cinderella role I wish they did not decide to give her blue hair to go with the VK feel. Her hair was her natural color in the TV Movie Cinderella. Then there is the fact that they are tying the story from that exact film to this series of movies and Cinderella definitely did not get to go to some school for magic.
I know it supposed to be a cliffhanger ending but I did not like the ending as just felt rushed and not complete. Aswell the villain side characters didn’t really add much to the story they were just there character. I do like the song Red and hopefully for the next movie they will have more story to it.
I think a lot of people don’t realize the plot twist. In BOTH timelines, Merlin’s ALWAYS had his spell book safeguarded, so Uliana and her friends will have always been made frozen, which stopped them from doing the prank. But because Chloe and Red were there to kind of take possession of the book, and it causing the future to be changed, we can infer that they UNKNOWINGLY stopped this mysterious person from taking the book in the short time between the future villains being frozen and Merlin arriving. We also learned that only someone “good” could actually open the book. We will probably find out who actually pranked Bridget in part 2.
I agree, seeing all the Disney characters as high schoolers was a fun idea and had potential, but they kinda wasted it. Even if they’re just background and side characters ,wish we got to see more than jasmine and Aladdin. And I don’t understand why they couldn’t have Ursula instead of her sister
i remember when it was finally comfirmed about Brandys Cinderella being chads mom everyone wasnt shocked about that they were more shocked they said he was in college/got into college haha. but honestly i love how most people who saw the Brandy Cinderella version of the fairytale all just went and said Yep makes total sense chad is Both Brandy and Paolo were his parents cuz of the logistics of how Charming's Parents being a White and Black mixed couple haha love it!!
Cinderella and Charming definitely paid his way in and probably bribed him to go. There is no way Chad willingly signed up for more education without getting something.
my theory was that someone else like prince charming or someone good got the book instead of uliana and had pulled the prank bc of jealousy out of ella picking to go with bridget instead of him but red and chloe took the book and placed it in some random place so it couldnt play out
I do think someone good ends up pulling the prank... but not sure who... maybe Jaladdin with how they behaved while adults with their resentment... though they are to into themselvse so maybe not.... who knows
@@jocelyntmorgan I was surprised that they never showed Cinderella and the queen of hearts reconcile at the end, so I defo feel like that could be the case
I hate that the writers were so determined that they were going to do a Part 5 that the ending was just lackluster. Also, you're fine without watching that atrocious animation that calls itself the "Royal Wedding". You'd do better with the non-canon 'Descendants: Wicked World'. I also wish that Uma had lied about Mal putting her in charge. I still think that she has some hidden anger towards her for not letting her get off of the Isle of the Lost.
I was wandering what happened to Alice? Apparently she had a daughter in the books but i don't think she had an appearance yet in the movies? Hopefully they'll show up in the sequel.
i felt like if they added a twist like the vks convinced ella to open the book, then the vks play the prank and ella regrets doing it, it would've been so much better.
but would they be out in time to do so remember they're frozen right now.... unless that's one of the things to go first when time catches back up with our main characters!
This movie was incredible. Brandy is back as Cinderella. The new characters and songs were awesome. They even made a tribute to Cameron Boyce with his picture 🤩🤩🤩🥹🥹🥹😭😭😭
it’s just weird to see her with a blue wig when she was younger because in brandy’s cinderella version she has her natural hair color. it makes since when she’s older because she can do what she wants with her hair but it’s disney so they’ll do whatever 😂
@@jocelyntmorganI Was Thinking Maybe Lady Tremaine Punished Her Again Years Later & Made Her Hair Natural Again. When Cindy Got Married To Charmy, She Said, “I Like The Braids For Sure, But I Want My Blue Hair Back, It’s Not Impossible”. 🤣🤣
This movie was good. Rest in peace Cameron. Royal wedding was actually dedicated to him. Also I love how Brandy and Paolo reunited 27 years later.🩵 In the tv 1997 film. 6:26 Yeah, Cause Chad Would’ve Been Biracial, I think. Idk? Although Chad does get Mentioned. 6:39 It is a Cinderella(1950) song. 6:57 It’s Rita Ora. 11:09 At First I was like “Was It like A Carrie Situation?” 14:31 I love that movie. 15:48 First off, Hook’s Actor is From Senior Year, Which is a rebel Wilson movie, and I love it. Second, I Highkey Forgot That Harry is the Son of Hook, and Third, This song is a jam. 15:52 I love how we get to see Hades and Maleficent.💜💙 2:58 Irl China and Cameron were really Good Friends so that reaction from Uma was real.
Why was I so ready for Disney Channel to be smart for once and give us a huge plot twist near the end that Ursula's sister wasn't the prankster and it was Ella all along, when they return to the present they realise that nothing has changed and so they go back but do wait it out and they see the truth. I also thought that Bridget was going to turn out to have a crush on Charming and so her being not only humiliated by Ella, her best friend but then ridiculed by her crush who then ends up with said ex-best friend/prankster, would have not only been the major nail in the coffin but also make the message of "love ain't it" understandable, because what was that? I mean, I guess it makes sense in the context of her trying to be nice and loving to everyone only for it to backfire, but I don't know. Anyhow, since D5 will be a continuation, I hope they can clean this up a bit.
This!!! The way The Queen of Hearts came for her, seemed like Ella had something to do with it. She even mentioned something about Prince Charming, if I remember it correctly. Ella somehow had something to do with it. You just explained it so well. Also, she has been humiliated by the VKs, so it would only make more sense if she was more deeply affected by someone who she considered her friend (aka young Ella).
This was a fun movie. Loved seeing Brandy and Paolo back as Cinderella and Charming and I think Rita Ora as the Queen of Hearts was amazing. However Fairy Godmother, Hades and Maleficent being students the same time as Cinderella, Jasmine, Aladdin and Bridget makes no sense. Hades is a god and Maleficent is a I'm assuming centuries old fairy witch. Also the ending was too abrupt and antiimatic. However it would make sense if there's more to the story. Like how Uma hinted that it's not the end of the story and someone once pointed out that there may be a reason why Queen of Hearts dress still had some red on it instead of it being all pink and white. I'm interested in seeing a part 2 to the story if they can bring back Bridgit, Cinderella and Charming.
I pulled up for Brandy and actually liked the movie. My only criticism is the under utilization of brandy! And Rita Ora and China, for that matter, hopefully part 2, they stop playing games and get serious. They have vocal talent on the call sheet. That soundtrack can be a straight hit.
While I think the movie was not great, I think it was ok, but I think it really brought back the OG Disney Channel movie special vibe. It really looks the part, and it also feels like it with the whole plot. Particularly, it really feels like the original wizards of Waverly place movie. It's hard to describe why, but god they feel so similar
I’m so happy they didn’t lean into the moment where Cinderella said to the Red Queen “even your daughter doesn’t think it’s right” or whatever- because then it would have been public humiliation and betrayal all over again. I wish we got to see them ‘fail’ a few times at identifying the true cause of her turn to the dark side, so we could see the prank itself. I think they may be hinting that because Uma’s aunt didn’t ever get her revenge she was so passionate about- maybe in this new timeline Uma has ulterior motives for her family, because she grew up hearing how they’d been wronged by these people, etc.
I don’t get how the fairy godmother can be Cinderellas fairy godmother if she is her classmate. She is literally supposed to be old and have white hair. Also how can she help Cinderella if she doesn’t even know how to use her wand yet?
i read the books, and i dont know how much canon it was, but it stated the villains were revived from their deaths in their original fairytales. none of them, including godmother, went to any sort of academy
I never understood why the book was enchanted because then this whole trip to the past was not needed. And we didn't see dance night? The entire build up was just for that 😭😭
Omg Cameron Boyce death still makes me cry like I still can’t believe he’s dead Is this weird but like I was scared too sleep for a few months bc I was scared of dying like in the 6th grade Im over it now Im a junior now
Girl I was the same like sleeping just made me have so much anxiety cuz I thought I’d end up dying idk if your religious or not I don’t wanna push it but it really helped when I started praying again and always thought of the positive because God was always on my side 🙏 and I knew that when praying I hope it doesn’t happen to you again cuz it is pretty scary 😭 but may God bless 🫶🏾 and have a wonderful day
Yes I do believe in god I pray sometimes like if I don’t know what to do like it become overwhelming like I was really depressed abt it like one night I had a panic attack at night I couldn’t stop crying nobody knew about it i didn’t want to annoy people yk but I’m better somewhat yk
They explained the prank as the VKs were singing Revenge Uliana steals the cookbook from Merlin's office, bakes a cake, hands it to Bridget to eat it at the Castlecoming festival, then she turns into a monster and gets laughed at by everyone. But I believe Uliana's prank wasn't enough to turn Bridget into the evil Queen of Hearts it would've made more sense if Cinderella her best friend did something wrong in the past that would really hurt her and cause her to mistrust people turning her into the villain we know today. Cinderella's betrayal would justify Bridget's lust for revenge. Descendants 4 should've borrowed a leaf from Once Upon A Time it had really touching and compelling villain back stories especially Regina the Evil Queen we got to see and understand why she became bad. The writers missed the plot this should've stayed in the vault but they still wanna add another smh.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought this cause I seriously thought I skipped 20 minutes of the movie by the end and I was like, wtf? 🤨 They should have let us know that the movie was going to be a two parter.
some things left out I wanna see: Uma figuring out what the kids did and having to call for back up possibly from ursula! Uma's relationship with her Aunt Uliana, Malifacent and Hades discovering that Maleficent is pregnant with Mal, possibly see them split with Uliana maybe after hades splits from Maleficent, Maleficent creating a group with Evil queen, Cruella, and Jafar, Mal and gang's adventure's at least a scene or two when they're brought back for back up! Jane working on her magic (from Wicked ways cartoon) and having that shown in the movies especially now that Fairy godmother's wand is destroyed (though with the time travel it's probabaly reversed) though I'd say the wand being destroyed would be one of the first things to go wrong to show someone messed with time (at least that's how i'd write it)... I'd want to see the kids from the 3rd movie as well and how they're doing!
I’m just confused because if the book was spelled to freeze any trouble makers who tried to use and literally could not fall into the wrong hands, then how in the world did they even pull the prank on the first place???
The way this movie progressed reminded me of across the spiderverse... but I guess even spiderverse left us with a better cliffhanger for the next movie
Chloe is actually Chad's little sister, I think chad could be austic or ADHD or something like that, ORRR maybe he had a concussion or the maids or was just influenced badly also I wrote this before you found out chad is Chloe's big brother
3:55 Cora isn’t red queen, she’s only queen of hearts, red queen (from Alice through the looking glass) is Anastasia scarlet (one stepsisters from Cinderella), n Disney movies they fuse red queen and queen off hearts, but they’re different on the original storry
The plot holes were absolutely insane. Especially the one with Chad charming and his and his sisters family. The genes don’t line up. But overall it was pretty decent but the movies ending felt like a chunk was massing like it should have not been the end.
I just want to know what actually happened because that was not an ending 🙃 I think it all has to do with them delaying the production so many times, so they had to rush it. It's like a 7.5/10. The last 2 have been a little anticlimactic, ngl. I do like Audrey's song tho in 3, but this one really knocked it out of the park by far 10/10! ❤😍
My theory with the prank turning Bridget evil is more of a "the last straw" thing. Like for so many years, Bridget had been trying to be nice to Ulyana, but her niceness was never reciprocated, and after Uly playing a prank on her, it finally pushed her over the edge. Just my lil' take on it. Edit: wrote this before 18:16 lol
this just made me realize chloe’s hair does keep changing 😂 didn’t notice when i first watched that. also this movie came out on the 5th year anniversary of cameron’s death 🥲
I mean they give the VK’s “Ways To Be Wicked” and “What’s My Name” and then they give them THIS!!! Also let’s put some respect on China and her performance as Uma she HAS THAT CHARACTER ON LOCK. Especially her performance in the second movie she was acting circles around them.
I first watched decandests 1 when I was 21 in 2015 It really helped me in hard times because I was going through grief. This movie ruined my young adulthood the only real good thing was them bringing back the 1997 DVD movie Cinderella back and the Cameron tribute
the end was kinda wack like if the books don't let evil people move after opening the book so what's the diff if red was there or wasn't so they prob did a diff prank like :/
The plot twist for the next movie will be that Uma won’t be the daughter of Ursula anymore, but Ulyana’s, and she’s out for revenge 🤷🏾♂️😂 Oh…and Charming will be Red’s dad instead of Chloe’s 🤣😂 At this point, I’m just coming up with stuff🤦🏾♂️😂🤣
The reason I don’t like this movie as much as the others and the reason it’s on the bottom is because it was directed by a different person and their outfits flopped unlike the other movies. Edit: aswell this movie was very very short, just by hiding a book it made her good? Realistically Uliana would’ve found another way to prank her. Also how is no one going to talk about the fact that they literally met their parents back in time so it should’ve altered time to make them know eachother and I find it hard to believe on how it was back in time but they were all wearing modern clothes. I feel like this movie just doesn’t make sense and it has a lot of missing gaps. Would’ve been a better idea to do a throwback movie of descendants on the parents of the VK’s. Seeing maleficents and Ursula’s friendship or their rivalry and also seeing how they got booted off to the isle after coming to auradon. Aswell please pick a wig for our girl Chloe. 😭😭😭 it changes every other scene and I wish we could’ve seen mal come back and fight the queen of hearts. A literal Demi-god, dragon and a witch against a girl with a stack of cards. 😂
I know people were all up in arms about Chad being their parents but clearly they never watched WH’s Cinderella. 😂😂 And also-adoption is a real life thing people do. They could’ve just adopted Chad and then years later have Chloe. Not unusual, actually a lot of adoptive parents do that
🧡💛💚I just wanted to encourage somebody and say that God loves you, God is with you, and God is for you. Keep going, and keep trusting in Him. God will always love you 💛🧡💚
The movie was fine, but the ending was rushed, like a lot was missing. Even if there is a Part 2, things still should've been revealed and wrapped up in this one.

my theory was that someone else like prince charming or someone good got the book instead of uliana and had pulled the prank bc of jealousy out of ella picking to go with bridget instead of him but red and chloe took the book and placed it in some random place so it couldnt play out
i really thought ella was going to be the one to pull the prank because she was giving bridget shady looks here and there 😂
I do think someone good ends up pulling the prank... but not sure who... maybe Jaladdin with how they behaved while adults with their resentment... though they are to into themselvse so maybe not.... who knows
@@jocelyntmorgan I was surprised that they never showed Cinderella and the queen of hearts reconcile at the end, so I defo feel like that could be the case
I hate that the writers were so determined that they were going to do a Part 5 that the ending was just lackluster. Also, you're fine without watching that atrocious animation that calls itself the "Royal Wedding". You'd do better with the non-canon 'Descendants: Wicked World'.
I also wish that Uma had lied about Mal putting her in charge. I still think that she has some hidden anger towards her for not letting her get off of the Isle of the Lost.
The hair is where the budget went fr like queen JAsmine’s bob was fye
Wouldn’t Alice’s story have changed as well because the queen of hearts didn’t become evil?
Imagine if Alice is the evil one.😮
Not really, one the story ending, queen of hearts in the original film isn’t that evil
I was wandering what happened to Alice?
Apparently she had a daughter in the books but i don't think she had an appearance yet in the movies?
Hopefully they'll show up in the sequel.
i felt like if they added a twist like the vks convinced ella to open the book, then the vks play the prank and ella regrets doing it, it would've been so much better.
but would they be out in time to do so remember they're frozen right now.... unless that's one of the things to go first when time catches back up with our main characters!
This movie was incredible. Brandy is back as Cinderella. The new characters and songs were awesome. They even made a tribute to Cameron Boyce with his picture
🤩🤩🤩🥹🥹🥹😭😭😭
it’s just weird to see her with a blue wig when she was younger because in brandy’s cinderella version she has her natural hair color. it makes since when she’s older because she can do what she wants with her hair but it’s disney so they’ll do whatever 😂
@@jocelyntmorganI Was Thinking Maybe Lady Tremaine Punished Her Again Years Later & Made Her Hair Natural Again. When Cindy Got Married To Charmy, She Said, “I Like The Braids For Sure, But I Want My Blue Hair Back, It’s Not Impossible”. 🤣🤣
"Now that I think about it Rita Ora be looking a little old" had me dying😂😭💀
This movie was good. Rest in peace Cameron. Royal wedding was actually dedicated to him. Also I love how Brandy and Paolo reunited 27 years later.🩵 In the tv 1997 film. 6:26 Yeah, Cause Chad Would’ve Been Biracial, I think. Idk? Although Chad does get Mentioned. 6:39 It is a Cinderella(1950) song. 6:57 It’s Rita Ora. 11:09 At First I was like “Was It like A Carrie Situation?” 14:31 I love that movie. 15:48 First off, Hook’s Actor is From Senior Year, Which is a rebel Wilson movie, and I love it. Second, I Highkey Forgot That Harry is the Son of Hook, and Third, This song is a jam. 15:52 I love how we get to see Hades and Maleficent.💜💙 2:58 Irl China and Cameron were really Good Friends so that reaction from Uma was real.
Why was I so ready for Disney Channel to be smart for once and give us a huge plot twist near the end that Ursula's sister wasn't the prankster and it was Ella all along, when they return to the present they realise that nothing has changed and so they go back but do wait it out and they see the truth. I also thought that Bridget was going to turn out to have a crush on Charming and so her being not only humiliated by Ella, her best friend but then ridiculed by her crush who then ends up with said ex-best friend/prankster, would have not only been the major nail in the coffin but also make the message of "love ain't it" understandable, because what was that? I mean, I guess it makes sense in the context of her trying to be nice and loving to everyone only for it to backfire, but I don't know. Anyhow, since D5 will be a continuation, I hope they can clean this up a bit.
This!!! The way The Queen of Hearts came for her, seemed like Ella had something to do with it. She even mentioned something about Prince Charming, if I remember it correctly. Ella somehow had something to do with it. You just explained it so well. Also, she has been humiliated by the VKs, so it would only make more sense if she was more deeply affected by someone who she considered her friend (aka young Ella).
This was a fun movie. Loved seeing Brandy and Paolo back as Cinderella and Charming and I think Rita Ora as the Queen of Hearts was amazing.
However Fairy Godmother, Hades and Maleficent being students the same time as Cinderella, Jasmine, Aladdin and Bridget makes no sense. Hades is a god and Maleficent is a I'm assuming centuries old fairy witch.
Also the ending was too abrupt and antiimatic. However it would make sense if there's more to the story. Like how Uma hinted that it's not the end of the story and someone once pointed out that there may be a reason why Queen of Hearts dress still had some red on it instead of it being all pink and white. I'm interested in seeing a part 2 to the story if they can bring back Bridgit, Cinderella and Charming.
I pulled up for Brandy and actually liked the movie. My only criticism is the under utilization of brandy! And Rita Ora and China, for that matter, hopefully part 2, they stop playing games and get serious. They have vocal talent on the call sheet. That soundtrack can be a straight hit.
While I think the movie was not great, I think it was ok, but I think it really brought back the OG Disney Channel movie special vibe. It really looks the part, and it also feels like it with the whole plot. Particularly, it really feels like the original wizards of Waverly place movie. It's hard to describe why, but god they feel so similar
“I ain’t never seen Cinderella go to school either” 😂😂😂😂😂
I’m so happy they didn’t lean into the moment where Cinderella said to the Red Queen “even your daughter doesn’t think it’s right” or whatever- because then it would have been public humiliation and betrayal all over again.
I wish we got to see them ‘fail’ a few times at identifying the true cause of her turn to the dark side, so we could see the prank itself. I think they may be hinting that because Uma’s aunt didn’t ever get her revenge she was so passionate about- maybe in this new timeline Uma has ulterior motives for her family, because she grew up hearing how they’d been wronged by these people, etc.
Rita Ora was for me the best thing about this movie and I loved the song ''love ain't it''. I need Rita to be a musical villain more ❤🔥
I don’t get how the fairy godmother can be Cinderellas fairy godmother if she is her classmate. She is literally supposed to be old and have white hair. Also how can she help Cinderella if she doesn’t even know how to use her wand yet?
i read the books, and i dont know how much canon it was, but it stated the villains were revived from their deaths in their original fairytales. none of them, including godmother, went to any sort of academy
Omgggggg yayayayayaya she’s back I’m so excited !! Love your vids keep up the good work❤❤❤
Thank you 🫶🏾🫶🏾
Just the beginning of the movie made me cry a bit 😭
There was so much potential for this movie and it felt like it kinda fell flat, I was so excited too to see the younger VKs from the past
You got me cracking up when she said off with his hair give him a HAIRCUT💀💀🤣🤣🤣
Not you saying “she look like Rita Ora” when it literally is Rita Ora 😂lol
I never understood why the book was enchanted because then this whole trip to the past was not needed. And we didn't see dance night? The entire build up was just for that 😭😭
Omg Cameron Boyce death still makes me cry like I still can’t believe he’s dead
Is this weird but like I was scared too sleep for a few months bc I was scared of dying like in the 6th grade Im over it now Im a junior now
Girl I was the same like sleeping just made me have so much anxiety cuz I thought I’d end up dying idk if your religious or not I don’t wanna push it but it really helped when I started praying again and always thought of the positive because God was always on my side 🙏 and I knew that when praying I hope it doesn’t happen to you again cuz it is pretty scary 😭 but may God bless 🫶🏾 and have a wonderful day
Yes I do believe in god I pray sometimes like if I don’t know what to do like it become overwhelming like I was really depressed abt it like one night I had a panic attack at night I couldn’t stop crying nobody knew about it i didn’t want to annoy people yk but I’m better somewhat yk
@@Banana-qg2jlgirl I've dealt with it too, it made me depressed along with other things
@@brioche4734 yea me to I deal with other things too like I get sad I feel lonely at times but rn I’m in a better place I hope you’re ok brioche4734
IM GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS DEALT WITH THIS I WANT YALL TO KNOW YOURE NOT ALONE ❤️❤️❤️
They explained the prank as the VKs were singing Revenge Uliana steals the cookbook from Merlin's office, bakes a cake, hands it to Bridget to eat it at the Castlecoming festival, then she turns into a monster and gets laughed at by everyone. But I believe Uliana's prank wasn't enough to turn Bridget into the evil Queen of Hearts it would've made more sense if Cinderella her best friend did something wrong in the past that would really hurt her and cause her to mistrust people turning her into the villain we know today. Cinderella's betrayal would justify Bridget's lust for revenge. Descendants 4 should've borrowed a leaf from Once Upon A Time it had really touching and compelling villain back stories especially Regina the Evil Queen we got to see and understand why she became bad. The writers missed the plot this should've stayed in the vault but they still wanna add another smh.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought this cause I seriously thought I skipped 20 minutes of the movie by the end and I was like, wtf? 🤨
They should have let us know that the movie was going to be a two parter.
Chad being accepted into a college is the most SHOCKING part of this movie
YESSS I’m so glad your doing a reaction on this😁😄
I feel like this movie is the one that reallyyy shows how much they pulled from Ever After High
Yeah, Red feels like a mix between Lizzie Hearts and Raven Queen!
Likewise, Chloe feels like a mix between Darling Charming and Apple White!!!!
some things left out I wanna see: Uma figuring out what the kids did and having to call for back up possibly from ursula! Uma's relationship with her Aunt Uliana, Malifacent and Hades discovering that Maleficent is pregnant with Mal, possibly see them split with Uliana maybe after hades splits from Maleficent, Maleficent creating a group with Evil queen, Cruella, and Jafar, Mal and gang's adventure's at least a scene or two when they're brought back for back up! Jane working on her magic (from Wicked ways cartoon) and having that shown in the movies especially now that Fairy godmother's wand is destroyed (though with the time travel it's probabaly reversed) though I'd say the wand being destroyed would be one of the first things to go wrong to show someone messed with time (at least that's how i'd write it)... I'd want to see the kids from the 3rd movie as well and how they're doing!
I’m just confused because if the book was spelled to freeze any trouble makers who tried to use and literally could not fall into the wrong hands, then how in the world did they even pull the prank on the first place???
The way this movie progressed reminded me of across the spiderverse... but I guess even spiderverse left us with a better cliffhanger for the next movie
Yea they tried the spider verse approach but across the spider verse the problem wasn’t “seemingly” solved we were still in the thick of it
Chloe is actually Chad's little sister, I think chad could be austic or ADHD or something like that, ORRR maybe he had a concussion or the maids or was just influenced badly also I wrote this before you found out chad is Chloe's big brother
Uliana: eats flamingo feathers
Lakia: is she gonna turn into a chicken?
Me: Gurl lol
😭😭plsss I have no excuse
Love your videos Lakia and i like the Bible verses in the beginning of the video ❤️
💕💕
Love that Uma was back~handing all the red soldiers 😂😂
rita ora chewed as the queen of hearts though
What they did with Chloe that they didn't do with Chad was actually dissaplin him and create an actual amaizing person!
Chads in college so he's older than Chloe so I'm assuming he's their firstborn so they might have messed up a bit with him 😂
Chloe wig was stressing me out the entire movie the scene when her and young Cinderella was dancing I was like why is her hair 10xs longer and bigger
Why did Bridgette switch accents 😂
😭😭😭great question
She changed her WHOLE indentity
@@user-ip2jw8mh4n right went from a British accent to a typical American valley girl accent
Right Chloe waited late as hell to be all "mOM 🥺"
3:51 I LOVE that you brought up OUAT, all I kept thinking of when I was watching this movie was Ever After High 😂😂
3:55 Cora isn’t red queen, she’s only queen of hearts, red queen (from Alice through the looking glass) is Anastasia scarlet (one stepsisters from Cinderella), n Disney movies they fuse red queen and queen off hearts, but they’re different on the original storry
This is ouat universe
I get the names confused but I mean Queen of hearts when I say red queen
The plot holes were absolutely insane. Especially the one with Chad charming and his and his sisters family. The genes don’t line up. But overall it was pretty decent but the movies ending felt like a chunk was massing like it should have not been the end.
Yes there is going to be a part 2 as Kylie said we are just waiting for Disney to confirm
3:14 yess Uma isn't letting any VK behind
But the real question is if the book stopped people who were of no good from opening it how did the VKs prank Bridget
Maybe it wasn’t them that did it. I think Ella did it maybe accidentally or something. After she did it she immediately regretted it.
I just want to know what actually happened because that was not an ending 🙃 I think it all has to do with them delaying the production so many times, so they had to rush it. It's like a 7.5/10. The last 2 have been a little anticlimactic, ngl. I do like Audrey's song tho in 3, but this one really knocked it out of the park by far 10/10! ❤😍
perfect timing, I watched this yesterday ☺️
Why is she so relatable when watching these movies😂😂😂😂
in one of the scenes when they were seeing the revenge song it shows that they turned bridget into a ogre at the dance
You know, Ursula’s baby sister in high school musical
Was hoping we didn’t have to wait another 7 months lol. You delivered, love your reactions!!
My theory with the prank turning Bridget evil is more of a "the last straw" thing. Like for so many years, Bridget had been trying to be nice to Ulyana, but her niceness was never reciprocated, and after Uly playing a prank on her, it finally pushed her over the edge. Just my lil' take on it.
Edit: wrote this before 18:16 lol
I love the concept of this movie even the songs, even though the ending felt rushed. I’m just happy they honored Cameron as his character. Rip Cameron
Bridget was so adorable 🥰
“We need someone with magic”
“Bippidi Boppidi-“
“Yes thank you”
“No.”
“Fairy Godmother I’m tired”
Growing up my favorite show ever was coop and cami and to see ruby so grown up and doing other movies and tv shows makes me so proud of her ❤
Was any one else confused why the queen of hearts was in charge of wonder land instead of Alice.
this just made me realize chloe’s hair does keep changing 😂 didn’t notice when i first watched that. also this movie came out on the 5th year anniversary of cameron’s death 🥲
I mean they give the VK’s “Ways To Be Wicked” and “What’s My Name” and then they give them THIS!!! Also let’s put some respect on China and her performance as Uma she HAS THAT CHARACTER ON LOCK. Especially her performance in the second movie she was acting circles around them.
Movie was a 5/10. I got too old and now it doesn’t hit like it’s suppose to 🤷🏾♂️
I love your channel!!❤❤❤ I randomly found your channel and it’s so fun!
I haven’t seen the movie yet so when I recognized Bridget was the queen of hearts I freaked out❤
15:55 This is so freaking good. First off all Maleficent and Hades and the design of Uliana and her vocals and choreography!!!
The ending makes no sense because if they hadn’t been there uliana still would have opened the book and been frozen so what did they change
I first watched decandests 1 when I was 21 in 2015 It really helped me in hard times because I was going through grief. This movie ruined my young adulthood the only real good thing was them bringing back the 1997 DVD movie Cinderella back and the Cameron tribute
I swear the pausing It was funny😂And the dancing
the end was kinda wack like if the books don't let evil people move after opening the book so what's the diff if red was there or wasn't so they prob did a diff prank like :/
The plot twist for the next movie will be that Uma won’t be the daughter of Ursula anymore, but Ulyana’s, and she’s out for revenge 🤷🏾♂️😂 Oh…and Charming will be Red’s dad instead of Chloe’s 🤣😂 At this point, I’m just coming up with stuff🤦🏾♂️😂🤣
The choreographers and song directors did what needed to be done.
The reason I don’t like this movie as much as the others and the reason it’s on the bottom is because it was directed by a different person and their outfits flopped unlike the other movies.
Edit: aswell this movie was very very short, just by hiding a book it made her good? Realistically Uliana would’ve found another way to prank her. Also how is no one going to talk about the fact that they literally met their parents back in time so it should’ve altered time to make them know eachother and I find it hard to believe on how it was back in time but they were all wearing modern clothes. I feel like this movie just doesn’t make sense and it has a lot of missing gaps. Would’ve been a better idea to do a throwback movie of descendants on the parents of the VK’s. Seeing maleficents and Ursula’s friendship or their rivalry and also seeing how they got booted off to the isle after coming to auradon. Aswell please pick a wig for our girl Chloe. 😭😭😭 it changes every other scene and I wish we could’ve seen mal come back and fight the queen of hearts. A literal Demi-god, dragon and a witch against a girl with a stack of cards. 😂
Yea the Kenny Ortega flare wasn’t there
@@LakiaJaiTV This movie had so much potential. I hope Kenny comes back for Descendants 5
Am i the only person who really didnt think abt chad until he said he had to go watch his tournament
I know people were all up in arms about Chad being their parents but clearly they never watched WH’s Cinderella. 😂😂 And also-adoption is a real life thing people do. They could’ve just adopted Chad and then years later have Chloe. Not unusual, actually a lot of adoptive parents do that
🧡💛💚I just wanted to encourage somebody and say that God loves you, God is with you, and God is for you. Keep going, and keep trusting in Him. God will always love you 💛🧡💚
I'm sick and this just made my day...or night.
The movie was fine, but the ending was rushed, like a lot was missing. Even if there is a Part 2, things still should've been revealed and wrapped up in this one.
Thank you for sharing this 💗 I’m a Christ follower and was looking for a reaction video to descendants but other content creators were cursing and being very sexual so I’m so grateful to God that I found ur channel! U really are a holy girl, may God bless you ☺️
I love your reactions, definitely one of my fav channels. Thank you so much for react to D4!!!
8:22 The fact that she was like Chad is less important than Chloe. 😢
