Critics Consensus

Memorable songs and excellent casting help turn Descendants into a decidedly wicked musical romp.

Shirley Li

Entertainment Weekly

Descendants moves quickly through its two-hour-long running time, builds momentum off of a handful of peppy tunes, and delivers a colorful confection that's sure to impress the younger crowd.

Brian Lowry

Variety

The movie boasts a stronger, more assured story than most of the recent youth-oriented live-action musicals Disney has offered, with plenty of brightly colored bells and whistles as well as songs that range from Broadway to rap.

The Hollywood Reporter

Will Descendants create the next Zac Efron or Vanessa Hudgens? Of the crowd, [Dove] Cameron seems to have the most star potential.

The lesson of Descendants is to choose love instead of hate. Those are definitely lessons worth learning, even if they are dressed in song and dance numbers and simplistic dialogue.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

At 111 minutes, Descendants feels too long and overly tactical.

Common Sense Media

This much-anticipated fairy tale add-on isn't perfect, but it's highly entertaining in the kind of young-love, flash-mob, song-and-dance manner that tends to thrill the youngsters

Rated: 4/5

Hay que tener en cuenta que es dirigida a un público infantil (los niños más pequeños), es excelente película, su trama es novedosa, tiene e inculca buenos valores constantemente (puedes dejar al hijo frente al televisor tranquilo, no va a haber problema), la vestimenta está muy bien, es familiar, con un desarrollo de personajes bien hecho (porque tiene sentimiento, hecho con cariño), las canciones son buenas y agradables (así las recuerdo), en general se distruta y ayuda a pasar un buen rato con cosas cotidianas y actividades normales que tienen lo suficiente como para cumplir su función.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
