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?

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...

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...

My Favorite/Best Disney Channel Moments (Part 3)

Basically, this is the same concept as the first and second parts but includes different clips. Please if you haven't, go and read the other parts too. Of course, there are going to be major spoilers and all rights obviously go to their respective owner.         The first scene I'm going to be talking about is from the 2011 DCOM (Disney Channel Original Movie), "Lemonade Mouth", which is based on Mark Peter Hughes' 2007 novel of the same name. "Lemonade Mouth" is how five high schoolers meet in detention and end up forming a band called 'Lemonade Mouth' and also help cope and mend with their lives using music and friendship. This is one of my favorite DCOMs and it actually has really good music.         When Lemonade Mouth is preparing for the 'Rising Star' competition, their worlds' seem to fall apart. Wen (played by Adam Hicks) injures his eye when his father (played by Bob Jesser) asks him to be his best man. The other remaini...
