Was "Descendants: Under the Sea" Worth the Hype?


Was "Descendants: Under the Sea" worth the hype? The 10 minute short movie/musical disappointed some fans, including me. Teasers made the film seem story driven and as if it would act as a connector between "Descendants 2" and "Descendants 3" (which is also known as The Big Sleep) which is set to be released summer of 2019. The short movie turned out to be yet another teaser for Descendants 3, leaving fans like me disappointed. It turned out to be just another promotional video. The film basically consisted of a compilation of the teasers and a cover of Kelly Clarkson's song, "Stronger". The anticipated short movie did, however, fuel some fan theories. YouTube fan channel "Dizney" analyzed the short and found evidence to support he/she's theory about Dr. Facillier tricking Audrey (Aurora's daughter) into the evil side. At first glance, the short is immature, awkward, at times just plain cringey, and just another promotional tactic. The acting and script seem to fall short on expectations. Upon seeing it a second time you can really see the importance of the short film. It's not only to peek the attention of fans but also to solidify the new hardships that we will be seeing in the next film. My feelings about this short DCOM (Disney Channel Original Movie) are mixed. Overall, the movie was not worth the pandemonium that Disney Channel made it out to be. What are your thoughts?

Ranking Demi Lovato's Albums!

        Hi! This week I'm going to share my opinion on one of my favorite musical artists: Demi Lovato. This is all based on my own opinion, so you don't have to agree. Currently, she has six studio albums. This list will only include her personal albums (except for "Moves Me" [2004] & "Demo" [?]). This will not include soundtracks or compilation albums from her other projects. 5.  ("Tell Me You Love Me" Album Cover)         In fifth place is her latest album, "Tell Me You Love Me [Clean] (Deluxe) + (Target Exclusive)" which was released in 2017.          I personally don't like this album. It's a good album, but I'm not the target demographic for this album, so maybe that's why I don't like it.          Many of the songs have a more adult theme, so parental consent is recommended.          The album is different from Lovato's previ...

Why High School Musical & Descendants Are the Same

 vs          To clear up any misunderstandings, I understand that both franchises were directed and choreographed by Kenny Ortega so they will have some similarities in their layouts.         "High School Musical" is a DCOM (Disney Channel Original Movie) that was released in 2006. The movie conveys the message of breaking free of quotas and being your true self, no matter what labels people put on you, through various different musical numbers. The movie follows star basketball player Troy Bolton and overly 'smart' Gabriella Montez, and how music unites the two unexpected couple together.         "Descendants" is a DCOM that was released in 2015, almost ten years after the release of the original High School Musical. The movie teaches the audience that you must make your own choices in life, and you do not have to live the same lives as your parents, even if that is what is expected of you. The musical follo...

Is "Under Wraps" Really that Bad?

        Is the 1997 DCOM (Disney Channel Original Movie) "Under Wraps" really one of the worst DCOMs? According to EOnline, it's the ninth worst DCOM to have ever been made.           The movie is aimed at a slightly older audience, like me, but it never goes out of its way to show that. It has believable characters, like Amy, the sarcastic one of the trio of friends who, inevitably find and awake a mummy, whom they call Harold. They embark on a journey to save Harold from turning into dust but instead learn a lesson about love.          The main character, Marshall, has trouble accepting that his mom is in a relationship with someone who is not his father. After seeing what troubles Harold, played by the voice of Patrick Star from the tv show "Spongebob Squarepants", Bill Fagerblake, goes through to see his love for the final time, he comes to a conclusion that his mom should be able to love whomev...
