1/10
Truly awful.

I don't know how this has any good reviews.

I can understand not wanting to have another live action film as Cameron Boyce is no longer with us, but this is not the Descendants wrap up we were looking for.

I kind of figured that since it was a cartoon it was to somehow write Boyce into it and animate him, but there was just a lame half attempt of a "tribute", this could have been done in a live action film, and honestly, would have been more respectful of him if there was some reason depicted as to why he was missing from the animation, that whole scene would just confuse anyone. My daughter is 8 and well aware that he passed (he was her favorite character!) and she was confused as to why they animated the film and his character was still missing. It would have been better live action if they were just going to gloss over Carlos's demise anyhow.

Aside from this.. the animation is just awful. It is choppy, not detailed, just overall very poorly done. It does not even remotely resemble something I'd expect from Disney. I really thought the internet was lagging, but the quality was just so bad. The voices do not match up to the action. The plot is silly. Audrey being the wedding planner seems very out of place. Hades arriving and then leaving with no explanation makes no sense. We didn't even recognize the character Chad until the whole fire scene was later replayed. I feel like the animated characters do no justice to the actors they are depicting.

Just very bad overall. We watched it and were so disappointed. Very sad as this is the last of the franchise and it was just a train wreck.
