Disney’s Animated series Descendants: Wicked World season two news:

We are fans of the Disney movie The Descendants in our house. My five-year-old who sometimes prefers the bad guys over the good. She really loved seeing what the next generation of Disney villans is like. Disney knows how to make huge hits that resonate with families. The Descendants join the smash successes like High School Musical and Teen Beach Movie. All theses series seem to resonate with tweens and younger kids who love to dream about coming high school days. The Descendants delivered the fun, music, and stars like Kristin Chenoweth who played Malificent “Mal’s” scheming mother. If you have not seen the movie or the animated spin-off, I recommend you add it to more of your summertime viewing.

After the huge success of the movie, The Disney Chanel followed up with the characters by way of animation with Descendants: Wicked World.

Our friends over at Disney sent us some news including updates to the cast and a look at this Friday’s half-hour special, Neon Lights Ball.
