Dove Cameron stars in this beautiful tribute to everyone’s favorite classic Disney movies. We meet her and her lovable band of misfits as they are assigned to infiltrate Auralon prep school by their parents. Dove’s Mal’s mom Maleficent gives them their assignment, and the poor second generation are left to figure out every detail. Besides Mal, Evie, Jay and Carlos star as the children of Queen, Jafar, and Cruella de Vil
Ben, son of Belle and The Beast, gives them a chance to live in Auralon, where there is no crime, fresh fruit, and beautiful grounds. His level of generosity and naive faith in their goodness constantly puts him at odds with his parents and the other second generation Disney heroes, and especially the older generation who was personally affected by the villains’ schemes
But because Ben has so much faith in the Villain Kids (VKs), Mal starts to change, and her friends do, too. They were basically brainwashed into being schemers by their parents. But the brainwashing is difficult to overcome; they “relapse” a few times despite Ben’s, fairy godmother, and their other new friends’ best efforts.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the production value, writing, acting, and definitely the musical numbers. Ben is especially likable, but Evie, Carlos, Mal, and all the other students have their moments
5.75 / 6.00 stars
