Descendants: The Rise of Red

Descendants: The Rise of Red lacks even the complexity of its prequels, which is saying a lot, but it's mostly innocent fun

Rating Summary
In a franchise not exactly known for its depth, Descendants: The Rise of Red is even lighter on story than the rest. However, its quick pacing and numerous generic song and dance numbers move things long quickly, and its hour and half runtime is over before you know it. Young girls will likely enjoy it but its messaging may be worth steering them in another direction.
