Disney Plus
Our take
Descendants: Wicked Wonderland is a Disney+ musical fantasy sequel with singing, magic battles, and teen friendship themes. It is rated TV-G in the U.S, though Australia rates it PG for mild violence and heavy parent-child themes. Expect cartoonish action, a kidnapping plot, mild insults, and chaste kiss references without graphic content
Uplifting themes
Friendship, courage, forgiveness, and standing up for what is right drive the musical story Red, Chloe, and allies model teamwork while trying to rescue family and fix past mistakes
Story (may spoil tone)
Now that the Queen of Hearts is nice and Cinderella is safe, things seem perfect for Red and Chloe… But little do they know that changing the past created a new villain — Maddox Hatter. When Maddox captures the Queen of Hearts, Red and Chloe must work alongside Red’s new sister Pink, Luisa Madrigal’s son Luis, and Maddox’s son Max to save her and Wonderland.
