Wait, Disney Animation Villains Got Married?
Posted on December 14, 2013 at 3:59 pm
Disney is planning something called “The Descendants.” 
In a present day idyllic kingdom, the benevolent teenaged son of the King and Queen (Beast and Belle from Disney’s iconic Beauty and the Beast) is poised to take the throne. His first proclamation: offer a chance at redemption to the trouble-making offspring of Cruella De Vil, Maleficent, the Evil Queen and Jafar who have been imprisoned on a forbidden island with all the other villains, sidekicks, evil step-mothers and step-sisters. These villainous descendants (Carlos, Mal, Evvie and Jay, respectively) are allowed into the kingdom to attend prep school alongside the offspring of iconic Disney heroes including Fairy Godmother, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel and Mulan. However, the evil teens face a dilemma. Should they follow in their nefarious parents’ footsteps and help all the villains regain power or embrace their innate goodness and save the kingdom?
So, some will come good, some will go bad and there’s going to be a bit of star-crossed love. And that love might even save the day.
I’ve got to say, this does not sound like a great idea to me.

This beautiful animated film promoting Chipotle’s new game features Fiona Apple singing a haunting version of the “Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” song, “Pure Imagination.” So, a song that once paid tribute to a candy factory is now being used in an understated and creative way to promote healthy, non-GMO food. Nicely done, Chipotle.
