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
Includes Never-Before-Seen Bonus Features and a Free Bracelet!
From the Emmy Award-winning director and choreographer Kenny Ortega ("High School Musical" franchise) comes this original contemporary story of classic Disney characters reinvented and the introduction of modern Disney lore. Enter this new epic universe of relatable tween characters on a journey of self-discovery. New on Disney DVD, and complete with never-before-seen bonus and a FREE bracelet!
In a present day idyllic kingdom, the benevolent teenaged son of the King and Queen (Beast and Belle from Disney's iconic "Beauty and the Beast") is poised to take the throne. His first proclamation: offer a chance at redemption to the trouble-making offspring of Cruella de Vil, Maleficent the Evil Queen and Jafar who have been imprisoned on a forbidden island with all the other villains, sidekicks, evil step-mothers and step-sisters. These villainous descendants (Carlos, Mal, Evie and Jay, respectively) are allowed into the kingdom to attend prep school alongside the offspring of iconic Disney heroes, including Fairy Godmother, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel and Mulan. However, the evil teens face a dilemma. Should they follow in their nefarious parents' footsteps and help all the villains regain power or embrace their innate goodness and save the kingdom?
We have seen several ads for this movie and we just had to see it. While this movie is for more Pre-Teen / Teenager age crowd, my girls really enjoyed it. The songs are catchy and I like the message behind the movie. My girls actually want to be Mal and Evie for Halloween. It's a great family movie and perfect for movie nights.
Bonus Features: Backstage Dance Rehearsals – Join the cast for their rigorous dance rehearsals conducted by director Kenny Ortega.
Bloopers – Kristin Chenoweth and the cast crack-up on set.
