The Descendants universe is expanding ✨ Sidekicks take center stage in a brand-new movie! HIDDEN HEROES: A DESCENDANTS STORY coming soon to Disney Channel and Disney+
On Friday (Aug. 7), Disney Channel and Disney+ launched the announcement of Hidden Heroes: A Descendants Story, a new music-packed film that expands on the renowned movie franchise by shifting the spotlight to a new generation of characters: the descendants of Disney’s iconic sidekicks.
In contrast to the other Descendants movies, which focused on the children of legendary Disney heroes and villains, Hidden Heroes will follow a group of aspiring sidekicks training at the secretive Sidekick Academy. According to the official synopsis, the recruits must rely on their newly learned skills to protect the fairytale world after a villainous pair threatens the academy. Most importantly, they must be able to do so without the help of heroes or their parents.
Leading the cast are Dior Goodjohn as Jennie, the daughter of Genie from Aladdin; Momona Tamada as Zara, the daughter of Yzma, and Jacob Rodriguez as Kronk Jr., the son of Kronk, both from The Emperor’s New Groove; Eva Fossaceca Smedley as Meri, the daughter of Merryweather from Sleeping Beauty; and Harry Jones as Lou, the son of Lumière from Beauty and the Beast, along with Rhys Dawkins, Connor Wong and Kyra Wong as the Potts siblings.
