I keep forgetting he passed away because I haven’t watched Disney in a long time and I keep not connecting the name to the actual actor that I’m watching on the screen. RIP CAMERON, Your fans miss you
Watching interviews of Dove after his passing was so hard I literally couldn't get through them. By FAR the best dancer in the group, man he's missed😭🙏🏾 RIP Cameron
It wasn't just Mal stealing Audrey's man, it was Ben confessing his love for her in front of the entire school without even breaking up with Audrey first. With them being the most public couple in school, that would've been utterly humiliating, and even traumatizing for someone in high school.
I mean in his defense he was love spelled at that point so he couldn't really control it and Mal wasn't just doing it to be mean she was terrified of her mom but either way from her pov that was crazy 🤣
@@Jayyahu15 her behavior in this movie is kind of baffling because in the first movie Audrey doesn’t even act like she actually likes Ben more like she just wanted to be Queen. Like she was outwardly unsupportive of Ben’s plan to reform the VKs, all of her affection towards him felt so forced and then immediately got a new boyfriend after she was “so heartbroken over Ben” like I’m not saying she wasn’t sad or angry at all but I wish that the movie went more in the direction of her realizing that she never really loved Ben in the first place, she just felt like that’s what she should’ve been doing as demonstrated by her grandmother berating her during Ben’s proposal, and her rap in Queen of mean about how she did everything that she was “supposed to do” because she thought it would all work out. It would’ve been a great parallel to Mal and the other VKs in the 1st movie idk that’s just what I think.
Respect to Disney for cancelling Descendants 3 red carpet premiere in honor of Cameron Boyce's death just a few weeks before the movie was supposed to come out. Instead, they posted a lovely tribute video of Caneron's journey in Disney Channel. Man, what a huge loss. I could imagine that Cameron could've done something awesome on Broadway, theater should've been his real home, unfortunately he never got the chance to experience it 😢
Anyone else noticed how Mal’s hair became more blue throughout the movie, after contact with the ember, and also represents her allowing Hades (her father) back into her life.
The actor who played Mal's father, Cheyenee Jackson is actually pretty huge on Broadway, probably more than you realized if you look at his theater credit. No wonder he has such a strong entertaining singing voice, he certainly had a lot of fun with that role especially performing "Do What You Gotta Do". Bro literally OWNED that number from top to bottom! He also played Mark Bingham, the real life victim of the United 93 crash during 9/11 in Paul Greengrass' United 93. And also had a supporting role in Julie and The Phantoms (my god, he has one powerful musical number that he carried in that show). Cheyenee is extremely underrated
I like how the daughters of the hero and villain of one story take on opposite rolls here. And "Queen Of Mean" is one such a great villain song. Sarah Jeffrey nailed the vocals.
It plays really nicely with the idea of being a villian or a hero being inherited. Which sets off the first movie about kids paying for parents sins. Just because your parents are something, doesn't mean that your going to be as well.
I remember when Cameron Boyce died just a few weeks before this movie came out. It was genuinely heartbreaking. Disney even cancelled the red carpet premiere out of respect for him. Watching this movie is still bittersweet because most of us literally grew up with him.
I honestly waited for Tara to surprise me with a new look because she jokingly said she'd wear a purple wig for this reaction but she surprised us with a tanned look instead 😂
With "Descendants" and "High School Musical" series done being reacted, next it should be "Camp Rock", "Teen Beach Movie", and the must see "Lemonade Mouth" 🙌
I mentioned this in the last video, but before you watch Rise of Red, you need to see Descendants 3 The Royal Wedding as it more properly wraps up these characters and has a tribute to Cameron Boyce. It also sets up 4 as well.
I also think they should watch the Cinderella (1997) movie with Brandy. Since her Cinderella character and her husband Are going to be in the next movie Because of her daughter.
That end credit scene was added in because the 4 og vks actors and Kenny ortega realised that there was no "We're rotten to the core" scene in this movie like there was in the other 2.
20:06 Celia's dad there is Dr. Facilier, aka the Shadowman. The voodoo witch doctor from The Princess and the Frog. You guys should react to it, it's so underrated.
Celia's father's name was announced around the beginning when Mal, Evie, Carlos and Jay were announcing The New VKs to be welcomed to Auradon. And, then they happened to forget.
I recall the fact of Hades is Mal's dad , it's based on the early episodes of "House of Mouse" , there was an episode where Hades asks for mickeys' advice on how to get the ladies , then Hades chose to hit on Malificent. I think it's based on that which leads to today descendants 3 where Mal calls Hades "Dad".
Fun Facts: A) Audrey would have never been Ben's queen-Mal and he were having True Love dreams before they even met, and was actually a contributing factor in Ben's decision to bring VK kids to Auradon B) The magic that was used to create the barrier to trap the villians was so powerful it RESURRECTED all of the villians that died in their original movies. C) There is a Royal Wedding episode if you'd like to watch it, it's animated
Fun Facts About Night Falls & Queen of Mean: Right after when this film premiered and Disney put out the music scenes on their music channel, Queen of Mean became a viral overnight hit. It racked up 2 million views following being posted and became the #1 trending video right here on RU-vid. Following that, it became the first song in the movie to reach 100 million views and is the second most viewed video in the entire franchise and to this very day it’s the only song in the Descendants franchise to go viral and it’s also the most liked video in the franchise as well. As for Night Falls, it’s the most viewed song in the entire franchise racking in close to 500 million views with it being in second place behind Queen of Mean as being one of the most liked videos in the franchise. And according to Disney Music’s RU-vid channel both Night Falls and Queen of Mean are in the top 10 of the most popular and viewed videos on their channel. So the new Descendants film has a lot to live up too, and I hope it turns out well for them when the film releases within the end of the week.
Queen of Mean is my favorite song from Descendants and honestly Disney in general, I am so glad that it went viral and is popular. Audrey's motivation was too good, it was very unexpected that she is the person my favorite song comes from, I'm emotionally attached to it
A lot of people have a problem with them doing another Descendants without Cameron, they’re saying it won’t be the same without him, but I personally don’t have a problem because the other 3 aren’t returning.
Fun fact, for the new Rise of Red movie, Brandy is playing Cinderella again, along with Paolo Montalban as Prince Charming, both of which played those roles in 1997’s Rodger’s & Hammerstein’s Cinderella.
Don’t forget to watch The Royal Wedding before Descendants 4! It’s animated, and only 20ish minutes, but it’s the proper send-off for these og characters. Where it’s only 20 mins (which means like 10 or less in terms of the RU-vid Edit time), maybe you can just include that reaction at the start of your Descendants 4 reaction.
Before you see The Rise of Red, there’s an animated special called The Royal Wedding that shows Mal & Ben’s Wedding and it does set up The Rise of Red in a major way so make sure to see that before you react to The Rise of Red
No, Tara was right. Frozen established that a spell-breaking true love's kiss could be love between family members. Since it worked for Disney sisters Elsa and Anna it was at least worth trying for mother-daughter.
This movie does have a lot going on. It has Hades being Mal’s father, the new VK introductions, Ben proposing to Mal, and Audrey being the villain. Honestly, it’s a lot to comprehend, but it’s still good.
Kenny Ortega always wants to represent his culture in some way in his films, that is why he was lucky to have the actress Sofia Carson since she is half Colombian. In the fourth film, a well-known actor from high school musical the series will be his big entry into the franchise.
Dara Renee is the only one from hsmtmts that I know of that’s going to star in rise of red, who else is from the series is going to be in the next movie?
A scene was filmed where the characters Harry and Gil are sharing a kiss. The scene was cut from the film but its in the novelization of the film, Descendants 2: Junior Novel IIRC, the actors posted pictures & videos of that scene on their Instagram pages
Can't believe you guys took out hades line "When you guys almost end the world its just an error in judgement but when its one of us lock em up throw away the key"
This October you guys HAVE to watch the 4 Disney Channel Halloweentown movies. They are classics! And a must watch every year. Also the 2 Twitches movies.
would highly recommend another Disney Channel Original called Zombies - there’s three of them and each one introduces a new supernatural creature with each movie. there’s a fourth one that’s meant to come out this year 👀
Fun Fact: Queen of Mean is the most popular song out of the whole Descendants franchise. It was so popular, it even went gold. Also, the guy who's Celia's daughter is Dr. Facilier from The Princess and the frog. He's played by the choreographer of the Descendants films (although Ortega helps with the choreography, he hires choreographers to do most of the work).
😊 guys seriously I have to tell you honestly from the bottom of my heart. Thank you. I am probably one of your oldest viewers of your channel, I’m 56 right now, but I have to admit you guys truly have got me back into enjoying musicals and just fun shows like this one I used to like them before all the time but you know how life is you kinda have to do what you Gotta do and sometimes you forget the stuff that made you have fun, but I’m having like a resurgence again of just enjoying this stuff and it’s through you guys thanks again to everybody at the channel and extended family. That’s including Michael and Coy. 😊❤
Just to let you know, there was an animated short film after Descendants 3 called Descendants Royal Wedding where Mal & Ben get married. It was a continuation from the 3rd film & the 4th film continues from that.
Gotta love the joke that hades said "I had a whole world that bore my name, now I have nothing" in reference to Pluto (another name for Hades) and now Pluto is no longer a planet.
If you haven't seen it, I'd love for you to react to Brandy's Cinderella before or after Descendants 4 comes out. It's iconic and I'm excited to see Paulo and Brandy reprise their roles as Cinderella and the Prince in Descendants 4.
i'm begging you, do rise of red! just 3.30 minutes in and I'm CRYING my eyes out! they weren't even acting there, we all know they were al crying! "it's what he would've wanted" yeah it is! cameron would've wanted that movie to come out!
Recommendations: West side story (Rita Moreno) The school for good and evil (sofia wylie (gina) HSM, Charlize theron, kerry washington) Purple Heart (Sofia Carson, Nicholas Galitzine) Lemonade Mouth (Bridgit Mendler, Naomi Scott) Hit Man (Glen Powell Adria Arjona)
Oh my goodness, I'm so excited for you two to watch Descendants 4. I love it only because of seeing Brandy and Paolo being back in the role of Cinderella and Prince charming. So please watch rodgers and hammerstein's cinderella!! Plssss you two would love it
Descendants 4 comes out later this month but uma and fairy godmother are the only og characters in it. Before that, there is a little animated movie for Mal and Ben’s wedding
Bravo to you, Greg and Tara, you have managed to walk the fine line of sarcasm and maybe they’re being honest in quite a few of these reactions both of you are on. Sometimes I can blatantly see the sarcasm but sometimes I’m like are they being sarcastic or are they actually having an issue with the movie or show? Fantastic job. Fantastic job.
The way you guys enjoyed all the musical scores so much had me all smiley too watching your reactions 🤗 It would be so good if you could watch "Adventures in Babysitting"; Sofia Carson (Evie) is also in it (as well as Sabrina Carpenter) and another movie you could watch for the great songs and plot is "Lemonade Mouth"! Both movies are so extremely fun to watch and underrated
Cameron Boyce is still in our hearts but I still love how Disney canceled the red carpet premiere in honor of of him. Rest In Peace Cameron Boyce we miss you dearly.
the first one has a special place in my heart. the charm is just emaculate in that movie. the second is the most mature I'd say, arguably the best soundtrack i guess (the 1st movie soundtrack does give it a fair fight). the third one is just trash. the had all the potential and just put it in a baby bottle and threw it in the bedazzld trash can and gave it to us. haven't watched the 4th one yet so cant rank it
No spoilers on rise of red from my part what I will say is from what I understand of the storyline it sounds like fun. The choreographer/Director of the original trilogy is not involved Kenny Ortega. With that in mind, though from the trailer that I saw it looks like what the third movie was besides the singing quite a bit of choreography so I am looking forward to it in the next few days
I know this has nothing to do with the film directly but something I found interesting was how in America summer school is for children who are behind hence the "I never went to summer school, I was too smart for that comment", however in the Caribbean it's the opposite. Summer school is paid for by the parents (those who can afford it) and is usually used for children who want to get ahead in the future curriculum. For example, you're currently in 8th grade and it's the summer before you go into 9th grade, the curriculum for summer school follows what you would be learning the first semester of 9th grade. This way when school starts you're already ahead and have practice of what's to come, it's not the exact exercises so it's not like you already know the answers to coursework and stuff, you just know the topics and how to do the different stuff etc.
Theres also Descendants: the Royal Wedding. Its an animated short video of Mal and Ben's wedding, while also giving tribute to Cameron Boyce. If you want, you can react to it on your channel or off, either way, its worth watching. Loved the video! 😁❤
Before watching the fourth I highly recommend watching mals wedding movie. It's a cartoon short after this one and it features all the original cast voices.
I loved watching these reactions and am now convinced to watch the new movie when it comes out later this week to enjoy your reaction to it as well. After all the Descendants movies are done, it would be cool if you keep the Kenny Ortega vibes going with Julie and the Phantoms on Netflix. Just 1 season, 9 episodes and easily broken into 3 parts for reactions.
Thank you Rejects for covering the whole trilogy!! Had an absolute blast rewatching them. I loved how you guys were open, honest and sincere to the movies and that you weren't trying to find a way to criticize or openly bashing it or even write it off just cause it's a Disney movie ah it's a movie made for kids and teens and this isn't the right demographics for you blah blah blah 😂 And seeing Greg smiling and giggling through the movie is just awesome and hillarious 😆First time I came across a big major reaction channel on RU-vid that would react to these type of movies let alone having an absolute blast with them! It warms my heart honestly :) So thank you Rejects! And hopefully this won't be the last DCOM movie on the channel :) (Rise of Red is a Disney+ Original so doesn't count as a DCOM in my view :P)
Imagine dancing at prom with your long time crush and he grabs your chin to taste your lips but suddenly you started singing "One kiss" out of nowhere😂
🏰 Greg, be careful. I think the long Covid has expanded Tara’s brain like the leader or sister Sage. She may be planning a coup at some point in time.🤣🤣
Bro, this last film may not be my favorite but it very successfully manages to close a universe/trilogy full of history (Books, games and short films). I still think it has an introduction with Good to be Bad and a very beautiful ending with the Core Four, it still seems unreal that next year will be 10 years since the first film.
Let's be real. They just needed to increase the amount of security that they had. There was hardly any security at the museum, put more guards and put stuff in plexiglass. With the barrier, have more guards and personnel on site. Make the barrier close more quickly. That is how you can fix the problem instead of closing the barrier forever.
