A new Descendants<\/strong><\/a><\/em> movie is in the works! <\/p>\n

Following weeks of rumors, Disney has just announced they have greenlit the upcoming movie Hidden Heroes: A Descendants Story<\/strong><\/em>. <\/p>\n

The movie will be a music-and-dance-fueled adventure expanding the Descendants<\/em> franchise, but this time, centering on “the journey of the unsung heroes behind Disney’s greatest adventures \u2014 the sidekicks.”<\/p>\n

What is Hidden Heroes<\/em> about?<\/h3>\n
\n

Hidden in the center of each fairy tale is a portal to a secret training facility where the descendants of legendary sidekicks are challenged to join the elite ranks of partners to heroes. When a villainous duo comes to Sidekick Academy, a group of fresh recruits must band together \u2014 without heroes, without parents \u2014 using only their new skills to save the fairytale realm before it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“One of the things that has always made Descendants<\/em> so special is the way it invites audiences to experience familiar Disney stories through an entirely new perspective,\u201d Ayo Davis<\/strong>, president, Disney Kids & Family, shared in a statement. \u201cWith Hidden Heroes<\/em>, we’re finally putting the sidekicks center stage, because they’ve always been an essential part of Disney’s greatest adventures.
