Descendants: The Rise of Red

Movie 2024 92 min Fantasy, Adventure, Family, Comedy Last reviewed 4 Sep 2026
Official Rating PG ClearAge 8+ Quality ★★★☆☆

Our take

Descendants: The Rise of Red sends two girls back in time to stop a cruel queen. Expect songs, school bullying, and talk of monsters. No real swearing and no sex. Fine for children who already watch these Disney villain musicals. Sensitive kids may find the coup loud

Uplifting themes

Two girls team up to stop a cruel ruler instead of copying her Red and Chloe choose each other over the family script

Story (may spoil tone)

After the Queen of Hearts incites a coup on Auradon, her rebellious daughter Red and Cinderella's perfectionist daughter Chloe join forces and travel back in time to try to undo the traumatic event that set Red's mother down her villainous path.

Talk after watching

  • Red and Chloe have very different parents. What do they owe those families?
  • Bullying is named at school. What would you want a friend to do?
