Disney Plus has set the virtual red carpet ablaze with its latest smash hit, **Descendants: The Rise of Red**! This cinematic gem, diving deep into the enchanting lore of Cinderella and the Queen of Hearts, has instantly captivated audiences. It’s chalking up 6.7 million views in just three days since its release, as reported by Deadline.
While the numbers may not match the colossal hits of Disney Plus’s entire library, **Descendants: The Rise of Red** stands proudly at the summit of Disney Channel Originals movie premieres. To put this into perspective, the much-celebrated **Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour** special had 4.6 million views in its first three days, making “The Rise of Red” quite the overachiever!
The film stars the radiant Kylie Cantrall as Red, the bold daughter of the Queen of Hearts, and Malia Baker as Chloe Charming, Cinderella’s determined offspring. Together, they embark on a time-traveling escapade to thwart the transformation of the Queen of Hearts into a notorious villain. Despite moderate reviews and a current Rotten Tomatoes score of 57%, the film’s unique premise and familial ties to beloved Disney characters have resonated deeply with fans.
The “Descendants” franchise, which kicked off in 2015, takes us to the magical island of Auradon, exploring the lives of the descendants of Disney’s iconic characters. This fourth installment not only continues the saga but introduces new dynamics and story arcs that keep the enchantment alive for its dedicated fanbase.
