Movie 1: Descendants (2015)
In a present-day idyllic kingdom, the benevolent teenage son of King Adam and Queen Belle offers a chance of redemption for the troublemaking children
of defeated villains. For the first time, these villainous offspring are allowed to attend school alongside the children of the kingdom's heroes. The four
chosen teenagers are Mal, daughter of Maleficent; Evie, daughter of the Evil Queen; Carlos, son of Cruella de Vil; and Jay, son of Jafar.
As they adjust to life in the kingdom, the four teenagers struggle with the expectations placed upon them by their villainous parents. Mal is particularly
torn between following her mother's wishes and discovering her own identity. When Maleficent plots to take over the kingdom, the four friends must decide
where their loyalties truly lie.
