So excited for this! My daughter has grown up watching Descendants and now we'll have another movie to enjoy together. Brandy returning as Cinderella is just perfect - she brings such grace to the role! ❤️

Honestly, the franchise should have ended after the third movie. The last one felt forced, and now they're messing with time travel? Disney needs to create new stories instead of milking this series dry.

Yay! More Descendants! The music in these movies is always so catchy. I hope they bring back some of the original songs' vibe while adding fresh beats. Also, representation matters - glad to see diverse casting continuing.

As a father, I appreciate that Disney keeps making these wholesome musicals. In India where so much content is violent or overly dramatic, it's nice to have options that are just pure fun for family movie nights.

The time travel plot sounds interesting, but I hope they don't make it too complicated for younger viewers. The charm of Descendants was always its simplicity mixed with great music and costumes. Fingers crossed! 🤞

While I enjoy these movies, I wish Disney would invest in original Indian fairy tale adaptations too. We have such rich mythology that could be amazing in this musical format. Imagine a modern take on Panchatantra stories!
