Disney Channel’s “Descendants” Premieres July 31st

Get ready as the next generation of evil Disney characters hit your small screen! Disney Channel’s original movie “Descendants” premieres Friday, July 31st (8:00 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel.

But for those of you who can’t wait that long, verified users can tune-in early, Friday, July 24 on the WATCH Disney Channel app and WATCHDisneyChannel.com. Also check out the extended trailer below!

Dove Cameron, Cameron Boyce, Booboo Stewart and Sofia Carson star in the live-action movie that – with a knowing wink at traditional fairy tales – fuses castles with classrooms to create a contemporary, music-driven story about the challenges in living up to parental and peer expectations.

The notable cast also includes Mitchell Hope, Wendy Raquel Robinson, Maz Jobrani, Kathy Najimy and the Tony Award-winning Kristin Chenoweth. The film is directed by famed choreographer Kenny Ortega, who did Michael Jackson’s final tour — and of course Newsies!

Today, the music video to “Rotten to the Core” was released. It’s a fun video that reminds us of a mix between Hook and Newsies, both Disney classics! Check out the video here. We’re sure you will be singing along!
