Disney Channel's 'Descendants' Casts Heros & Villains with Kristin Chenoweth & More
With the Disney Channel’s upcoming movie, Descendents, set to premiere in 2015, the villainous cast has finally been settled. The film, which focuses on a present-day kingdom where the Beast and Belle are royalty and the evil villains we’ve all grown up with are offered a chance at redemption for their equally villainous children, has found all of its villains through some pretty recognizable celebrity names. Take a look at Disney's good guys and bad guys.
