What is Hidden Heroes: A Descendants Story about?

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 — without heroes, without parents — using only their new skills to save the fairytale realm before it’s too late.

Who else stars in the movie?

In addition to those listed above, the upcoming music-and-dance-fueled movie also stars Rhys Dawkins, Connor Wong and Kyra Wong as the Potts Siblings, from Beauty and the Beast.

Jude Weng is serving as director, with a script by Tamara Chestna, Eydie Faye and Emma Fletcher. If you didn’t know, Tamara also wrote the recently released Descendants: Wicked Wonderland, while Eydie wrote the upcoming Camp Rock 3 and Zombies 5: Secrets of the Sea!

“One of the things that has always made Descendants so special is the way it invites audiences to experience familiar Disney stories through an entirely new perspective,” Ayo Davis, president, Disney Kids & Family, shared in a statement. “With Hidden Heroes, we’re finally putting the sidekicks center stage, because they’ve always been an essential part of Disney’s greatest adventures. It’s a fun, surprising new chapter that expands the Descendants universe with all the music, dance and heart fans love and expect from the franchise.”
