"It's what Carlos would've wanted." That part broke me. I'm glad they didn't just recast him, and that everyone payed Cameron Boyce the respect he deserves in and out of universe.

I loved that China Anne Mclain was chosen to say the phrase "don't do it for me, do it in honor of him" since she and Cameron Boyce have known each other literally since they were babies because they both worked with Adam Sandler in the Grown Ups movies , so for her it was more painful, rest in peace Cameron. ❤️

The budget is WAY higher than the first three because it’s more of a Disney Plus original movie than a Disney channel tv movie

Brandy played Cinderella in the Roger's and Hammerstein's Cinderella in 1997 which first aired on the wonder world of Disney and later was released on VHS.

Rita Ora is the one who plays Queen of Hearts, she’s a singer

The reason why Red hates her mother more than usual. It's because in the book she lost her 2 friends Ace and Chester to her. She turned Ace into one of her soldiers and Chester into a cheshire cat.

Now yall gotta rewatch cinderella with Brandy because yes that prince was also in the movie, his name is Paolo. They both reprised their roles.

I love how raw they kept it with Cinderella's story. Being a victim of abuse as well as being orphaned is one of the realest and close to heart stories for many kids, and it just wouldn't help to sugar-fy it. I also love how she was the one who explained that bridget is strong cause she still chooses to be kind even when people are awful to her cause that was the basic essence of Cinderella as a character in her original films

Yes Prince Charming is from the 1997 Rodger and Hammerstein’s Cinderella with Brandy, Whitney Houston, Whoopi Goldberg, Bernadette Peters, and Paolo Montalban (Prince Charming). Omg that movie was so good! Brandy and Paolo still have that magical chemistry + gorgeous vocals.

Kylie Cantrall is really good as Red. Her titular song and her version of "What's My Name?" are great too. Also, I like how uma went from Auradon Prep's biggest enemy, to it's principal, and I love that China Anne McClain reprised the role.

I am so happy that Brandy is back as Cinderella

They should have made it so that the prank ended up happening. But Bridget ended up forgiving it...because of her daughters influence.

A lot of people are disappointed with the ending but this is only part one. Descendants Rise of Red 2 (I think that’s what they’re calling it) will be fully announced soon. Idk when but it’s coming.

Her tears were REEEAALLL 😭😭 and due to Cameron's death, they had to make Carlos die too 😭😭

brandy playing cinderalla AGAIN after she played cinderella in the 90’s was just golden !! hopefully when ppl ask whose my favorite princess & i say cinderella but brandy..they won’t be as confused lol .. & if only Whitney Houston was still alive to play the Fairy God Mother❤️

The person who played Queen Of Hearts is Rita Ora ( *Taika Waititi's wife* )

What would've made it better was to show at the end some kind of other consequence that their time travel did. Aside from Queen of Hearts being still good, they should've shown that maybe she had a daughter that was not Red. Or maybe Cinderella had no daughter because she didn't go to the party. Or maybe even show that Queen of Hearts didn't change as the villains weren't the ones that did the prank

“It’s what carlos would have wanted” I broke into half’s and started crying

Descendants The Royal Wedding Reaction: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qZx7g9iEq8ytY2w.html

I'm living for all the shoutouts to the production and post-production crew. That and Brandy and Paolo Montalban reuniting as their roles from such an iconic version of Cinderella.

Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella is my favorite Cinderella movie. If you haven't watched it, I strongly recommend it. Made such a huge impact on little me and my love for movies. Also the cast is bananas.🤩🤩

Since you've seen the Royal Wedding short, please also check out the Descendants Wicked Woods Halloween stop motion short. It's actually pretty good.

My personal thoughts were that thirty minutes (the third act) was cut from this movie. Not seeing the dance, a payoff to Ella and charming falling in love, Ella being Bridget’s date to the dance and then going with charming instead which is a much more interesting reason for Bridget to turn bad… I think they cut it a lot purely cuz they don’t wanna paint Cinderella in a bad light at all. I think Bridget, ella, Chloe and red are all very interesting characters and well acted, so I’m very interested in what they can do in a sequel, but I’m sad about what they obviously left out in this one. Hopefully we get a little more context, especially since I think Bridget was the best character and she was just kinda dropped as soon as they found out where to get the book lol. Best budget of all the movies, but just rushed af at the end lol

I also was really interested in Ella’s backstory in the Descendants universe. It felt really raw, genuine, and emotional. I wanted to see more of the Charming Family too. I would also love to see them double check what happened at the dance. I wanted to see Prince Charming and Cinderella falling in love and the young versions singing “So This Is Love”. I wanted to see Bridget and Ella’s dresses, maybe we would have gotten to see who possibly might be Princess Red’s dad. Maybe her parents met at the dance you know? But maybe that is saved for the next movie, cuz does Princess Red know who her father is? I don’t think he was ever mentioned by the Queen. Oh and just to clarify some things, I know you guys mentioned earlier in the reaction that maybe Cinderella was the bully. Even though she technically was not the bully and is the best friend of Bridget. I think what made Bridget upset and felt betrayed by Ella is because Ella was not by her side at the dance cuz she started dancing/singing with Prince Charming (where their love story began). Ella could not protect Bridget from the bullies and she was tricked to eat that cupcake and was embarrassed. So basically, you ran off and fell in love with a dude and left me to fend for myself against those bullies MAD MAD. 😅

You could really tell alot was cut, one of the actress in the movie actually unfollowed the descendants account and took down all the promo from her page cause her character was literally turned into a background extra 💀

wow, this movie was totally great and of course pays the tribute to the late Cameron Boyce. RIP 🕊️🙏🏻

Perfect revenge and Love ain’t it were 🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥 Villains have the best songs!!

Whats cool is war and hearts are both types of card games so she is literally playing her favorite games

There's lots of theories that everyone is saying that they think it was Ella who did the prank, I think it's her too. Ever since the beginning of the movie when she said 'It was silly prank" I had a feeling it is going to be her. But we have to wait and see if they make a new movie.

Omggg yes Brandy and her Prince Charming Paolo were in the 1997 Cinderella together!!

After a rewatch, it makes sense that from the moment they arrived, every interaction changed the past. I think the flamingo feather incident may have happened differently as they wouldn’t have been involved/threatened the villains like Red did. Excited to see the next part to see how badly these girls messed up time 😂😂. It seemed too easy of an ending.

China(Uma) was the only one willing to come back after hearing about Cameron’s passing so I think their storyline for Mal, Ben and the rest of the gang sailing out and making Uma the principal was a smart move.

So I really like this one I like. The memory of Carlos, the beginning is fantastic. I agree the editing is kind of all over the place but seeing a bunch of reactions and watching in a couple of times you think maybe they might’ve done it on purpose… like you mention how the music was like early 2000s, then they got Brandy from their 97 Cinderella and when they went back in time, if you look at the background characters, they kind of dressed in 90s style clothes so you think maybe they were filming it on purpose that when they came back to the present after changing the past that the editing in the filming is different because they changed the past so part two is going to be what’s the consequence of changing the past

all I'll say is, watching this movie reminded me of a dialogue from hsmtmts s4, "kenny ortega where are you when i need you."

Finally!! I've been waiting for this to drop since last Friday after I saw the film. No other Rejects reaction was as important as this one.

apparently the scripts for the movie were split into two parts so this was made to be a part 1 but if they’d established that this was a part 1 and there was a sequel coming i think it would’ve made more sense for the implications of the time travel and the weak climax. i do agree there needed to be more humor and development with the main characters, and cutbacks to cinderella in present day!

Glad I'm watching this one in honor of Cameron Boyce, who left us WAY too soon!!!!!!🥺

Greg: put baby Greg in the arms of different parents 😂😅😉

I absolutely love this movie. One of my favorite things about it is the fact that the happy ending wasn’t a happy ending and it's going to be a two part story. Red thinks she saved her mom, but those changes to the timeline are going to cause some serious issues. It's going to be a butterfly effect. She’s gotta return to the past to fix everything. Red is going to learn the hard way that you can’t change the past, and although her mother isn’t what she wanted she has to live with that and grow from it. The fifth film will likely be announced at D23 next month! Dara Renee was so good as Uliana. A big reason why I think they chose to have her as Uliana instead of Ursula is because theyre going to bring her in the present day after they time travel again and she is going to get stuck in the present day. The music was also a banger, Life is Sweeter is so good. I can't wait for D5

It makes me wonder if their mother's realize what they've done as they were growing up they had to have realized they look exactly like the people in their youths right?

Rip Cameron we will never forget you❤

I watched it over the weekend and I will admit I struggled with the last 20 minutes of the film. I love the songs, the production value was way up and nice tribute to Cameron Boyce but everything after that kinda felt flat and I was like what is this 😂 And as someone who absolutely loved the shit out of the original trilogy cause they were magical 😂 This one was disappointing. Greg's face in the thumbnail of the video summed up my feelings/reaction to the movie 😂 What? lol. Anyway thank you Greg and Tara for covering the whole franchise! Great reaction as always 🙂

I love how Uma wants every VKs get a chance to go to Auradon and her entrance is on point she's like Disney's Beyonce.

The fact Greg calls it Adderall is hilarious 😂

I was crying at the part where they showed carlos!😢

This ended up being the best out of all of the Descendants movies. I love that it's the same story and world but new characters and a different vibe. The Queen of Hearts is easily my favorite villain of this series so far. It was less magical and I think that's what I liked about it. It was darker, the music was better, and it's a setup for something more left to come. I agree with Tara, Get Your Hands Dirty is my favorite song from the soundtrack. Continuity was not solid- but it's a kid movie. And I think thy focused on the casting over continuity. My favorites are 4, 2, 1, 3 in that order. 4 feels cut abruptly short, but that's so they can do a second half of it in the 5th installment. Uma will be avenging her auntie Uli, because with the time alteration, Uli was humiliated and Bridget was not.

The actress that plays “Red” is on the 4th season of High School musical too, you have to watch it 😢

The part with Uma honoring carlos is telling me somthing happened carlos off screen

I have watched a few of these reactions so far and nobody is noticing that the book froze the vk's because of it's enchantment (this would have happened even if red and Chloe weren't there) so someone else would have had to have gotten the book and done the prank (someone good) so they didn't actually stop it even though the movie says they did. Also look at Ella's face when Bridget says she is her only friend, the look is more like she doesn't really want to be (kinda guilty)

This Prince Charming was also the Prince in that same Disney movie with Brandy!

Both Brandy and Paolo Montalbon are reprising their roles from the 1997 Cinderella movie!

I really wanna know what happened behind the scenes that caused them to essentially cut out the entire third act of the film. The obvious climax they were setting up was that Ella was going to betray Bridgette at the Castle-Coming dance causing her to become evil, but they never did that. The movie just ends so abruptly, I know there was more planned for it. Edit: Maleficent and Hades were sooo cool. They stole every scene they were in.

This timing was such a coincidence! I literally finished the movies about 10 minutes ago or so and I got recommended this. I loved “Gotta get your hands dirty” probably my favourite song out of this. The colours really popped in this movie. Do we think we’ll get a sequel or just a new trilogy all together? Surprised to see Rita Ora in a movie missed the OGs. That memory of Carlos was 😢but sweet. Loved the movie a bunch!!

Kylie Cantrall was one of the reasons I wanted to see the film because I practically grew up with her during my tween years

The actress who plays red Kylie plays a character in season 4 of hsmtmts

What's your favorite song from this movie?!

Rita Ora plays the Queen of Hearts and she is a very well known singer just like Brandy. This movie is more like the books are than the movies but nothing wrong with that because the books are darker and slightly more scary than the movies dared to be, also the books were written after the movies came out by a fan of the books who is a writer herself of course haha. Red is my favorite character and her song is my favorite in the movie as well. Yes Bandy played Cinderella with Whitney Huston as the fairy godmother and prinche Charmin here Pablo played the prince in the Rodgers and Hammerstine's version not sure I spelled that right but any way...side note you should check it out if you have not seen it. I love that they brought back a new version of Uma's what's my name? as well seeing how that is one of my favorite songs in that movie. If they make a new movie we will see the concenqunses of them changing history I am sure and I hope they finally show Ursula in that movie as well. I do like this one even though it's different from the others but they should have given Brandy a bigger part and singing parts in my opinion but any way. I like how they showed young Hades and how he hasn't changed over the years that was good casting and the actor does a good job acting like the Hades in the third movie. My second favorite song here is the one that Red sings with Cinderella's daughter when they fight over the watch and my third favorite is the one that young Bridgitte sings when giving everyone the cupecakes but I also like the song Hands Dirty that Cinderella sings. Grate reaction guys.

Brandy’s voice is otherworldly 💙

21:37 "Bullying is rough and will stick with you" Preach

I absolutely love this movie. My only criticism is I felt like it ended 30 minutes early. As in, I didn't even realize the Merlin office scene was the climax of the film; I thought it was just another road bump. I expected the climax of the film to be at Castlecoming. Other than that though, I thought it was great. I didn't expect to love it as much as I did.

This movie is short because its part 1 which was confirmed by the actress for fairyGodmother

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS REACTION

I love the fact that yall brought up the skin tones cause Bridget is white and The Queen of Hearts is Albanian

Please do Disney Channel's Teen Beach Movie.

Cinderella 1997 Starring:Brandy,Whitney Houston,Bernadette Peters,Whoopi Goldberg,Jason Alexander,Victor Garber and Natalie Desselle❤

BRANDY STILL GOT IT!!!!!😊

Oh my, I love it. Seeing Brandy and Paolo as Cinderella and Prince charming gives me my children hoodie back when watching them over and over again at my grandparents place. OH please watch Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella 1997.

25:52 Ok but Kylie and Malia's voices are COOKING 😍🤩

Brandy and her charming are replaying thier roles from the old Brady Cinderella musical

greg talking abt brandy's cinderella being 30yrs old when i was born in 1997 and i’m still three years away from 30. OUCHHH!! LOL

Oh facts did you know that they mentioned chad charming from the first three movies brandy mentioned him to king charming

Btw, it is the same Prince Charming when Brandy played Cinderella, I got chills finding that out

when I heard brandi was going to be in this movie I thought we'd get an 'impossible' reprise . but her charming in it is even better and them singing 'this is love' is amazing

Absolutely loved this movie plus my favorite songs from it are Red, Love Ain't It, Life is Sweeter and Get Your Hands Dirty 😄❤🎶🎥💙

Wow you guys are really on board for these Disney channel movies

This was surprisingly fun. I was interested in the story and characters. The other Descendants movies had their own charms, but this one for me was a bit better

i literally discovered yalls reactions to descendants yesterday PERFECT TIMING

Brandys “Cinderella” is my favorite!! The fact that they brought back the prince too is amazing! They never sang “This is Love” (song from the cartoon) in the Roger and Hammersteins version (it’s replaced with a song called “10 minutes ago”) so hearing them sing this was EVERYTHING to me

Yall the Brandy Cinderella IS THE BEST ONE! You have to watch it! ❤❤

The stunt double for Red is at the beginning on the roof

Rate this movie out of 10! How do you feel it compares to the original trilogy?

I really hated this movie....but hearing What's My Name after 7 years made me cheer

My new favourite descendant movie! Seriously, I love everything 10×times more in this one ❤ The main flaws are stuff. I hope they adress/fix in the next one they tease.

This literally blew me away. I'm still grateful that jump on the Descendants train and this movie brought back some of the magic I've been missing for a long time. The cast really gave it their all and they seem to have a good handle as they hold the torch from the OG cast. China Anne McClain and Melanie Paxson still haven't missed a beat and basically just picked up where they left off from D3 and the Royal Wedding. Kylie and Malia definitely have perfect chemistry between each other and they have a bright future ahead as they take over the franchise. Brandy and Paolo Montalban are just fantastic in this. I finally watched their Cinderella adaptation recently before the this movie came out and I understand why that one is beloved. Now they fit so perfectly in the Descendants world. Rita Ora as the Queen of Hearts was another great choice cause you definitely don't want to mess with her by any means. And for her to say "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS" literally gave me goosebumps. Now the time travel shenanigans got me excited to most. Seeing what life was pre-Auradon was interesting and the younger heroes and villains were a delight. However, the ending had me scratching my head upon first viewing. Obviously, we've been hearing that the ending felt rushed and a big chunk of the movie was cut and from what I heard from sources, that definitely seems to be the case. Mainly a lot of stuff happened behind the scenes and maybe effect the structure of the plot which allowed it to get trimmed in a few places. Now I do believe that we'll get sequels after this cause timeline is probably not fix...YET. So the Queen of Hearts is good, but the question is how? If Ulyana's prank didn't happen then something else changed the timeline. Perhaps D5 will take us to the Castlecoming evening since we didn't see it here and show us the nexus event. I do have a theory that might be a bit of a stretch but it's something to think about. During the ending, the event in Auradon plays out the same way until the QoH shuffle her cards, now in this case bubble and now Cinderella is still alive, but since the QoH is good what if they made a switch on Cinderella and makes her evil now? Remember she got grounded by Lady Tremaine in the past, so since she didn't go to Castlecoming perhaps Tremaine took her on a villainous path and now in present she's hiding her "True" appearance when it's time to strike. Again it's a stretch but, pulling a switcheroo like would be a crazy twist if that's the case for the next movie. Plus, I should inform y'all that when Disney Channel airs the movie on Aug. 9th, that's the same day when the D23 Expo starts. So if this Descendants cast attends then we could get an announcement for a D5 & 6. After the Rise of Red left us with questions we definitely will more movies to get some answers. *Also come to your thoughts on the Royal Wedding. I watched it some many times and even though the animation felt rough, it's still essential to watch. Honestly with D3, this closes the story of the OGs especially with Mal and Ben getting married. That's the main story that we needed to end on. That's where they Core 4's journey finally concludes and behind the scenes the cast really wanted to say their final farewell since we lost Cameron Boyce in 2019 so they made the animated special to honor him and give the fans some closure.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS FINALLY!!! I've been waiting for you guys to react to this. 😌❤️

One big positive I'll give this movie is that the song distribution amongst the characters felt better than it was during D1-D3. In the original trilogy, it seemed like Mal/Dove sang 80% of the songs and everyone else, usually the girls + the main villain, basically got scraps. In this movie alone, most the main cast were prominent in at least one song.

Agree with all you mentioned. It felt like the stakes weren’t there despite Cinderella getting killed and there was no ticking clock. Really felt like the climax was the end of act 2 and we should have seen them trying to stop the villains at the dance so we could see all the stuff they were talking about at the start. Didn’t understand why Bridget was mad at Cinderella for it especially when she wasn’t in the room (though maybe that’s why since she invited her) but also don’t know why she was off with Charming given their prior interactions. Also not sure what Red and Chloe actually did to change anything. The villains still got the book and it froze them since it was enchanted and that got them caught. So without them there wouldn’t the same thing have happened, so not sure how it actually occurred in the first place.

What if Uma was the one who wanted revenge this time? I mean, Uliana never got the chance to have her revenge and was sent to detention along with Hades and Maleficent. Uma being a descendant of Uliana would make sense that she would invite The Queen of Hearts and Cinderella in Auradon and set them up and avenge Uliana. I don't know. This is just a random thought.

Tera, your personality and sense of humor make you a winner.

BRO LITERALLY- when i was watching the movie for the first time- i genuinely checked the time after they got back- i was like there is no way this movie is over rn... and it was. it just felt so unfinished... and i was genuinely sad about it- i was 100% expecting to see the dance and that be the climax of the movie... but that didn't happen and i was so incredibly confused 😭- but i will say get your hands dirty is my FAVORITE out of all the songs 😌

I watched this over the weekend, and honestly, I was really disappointed. It felt like they only gave us the first two acts of a three-act story, leaving it incomplete. The whole movie sets up the anticipation that something bad is going to happen at the dance. In typical time travel movies, the twist is that what you think they are stopping isn't actually what stops it; it's usually something that happens at the actual dance. But in this movie, it just abruptly ends. It's obvious that this is just a setup for the next installment.

The person that plays, the queen of hearts is Rita Ora

Watch the Brandy Cinderella next!!!!!!

I HAVE BEEN WAITING ALL WEEKEND FOR THIS REACTION!!! 🥳

To me, the foundation of a good descendants movie is the songs and this sequel definitely delivered in that department. Besides having strong musical inspirations, as well as amazing rap verses, it also takes inspiration from kpop music and I think that really separates it from the other movies in the franchise! Love this movie

Bridget was mad at Ella for leaving her alone at the dance while the prank happened and Ella was with the prince who she kinda rejected, even tho she asked Bridget to go with her, also great reaction❤

Cinderellas child’s name is Chloe charming Chad is her brother

found it funny asf in certain scenes when they were dancing and singing/rapping and there was no music , the shoulder twitch 😂🤣

When Greg said he would go back in time and put baby Greg in the hands of different parents I laughed out loud so hard. I did stand up comedy for 10 years in LA and haven’t laughed so hard in a while thanks guys lmao
