Disney’s Descendants was a ratings bonanza for the network and today one of the movie’s lead actors, Sofia Carson, released a new retro-soul version of the movie’s fan favorite song “Rotten to the Core.” Carson’s new video was directed by Naren Wilks and Adam Santelli and was shot in London using a 3D green-screen cylinder.
And, according to Disney, the “Rotten to the Core” music video will be the opening of the Descendants Wicked World short-form series arriving on September 18th on Disney Channel.
Descendants ranks #5 on the top cable television original movie list with 12.2 million viewers tuning in to watch the premiere. The movie’s soundtrack hit the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart, the Billboard Soundtrack chart, and iTunes’ soundtrack chart.
The Descendants Plot:
Disney’s Descendants stars Dove Cameron, Cameron Boyce, Booboo Stewart and Sofia Carson as the teenage sons and daughters of Disney’s most infamous villains. With a knowing wink at traditional fairy tales, the live-action movie fuses castles with classrooms to create a contemporary, music-driven story about the challenges in living up to parental and peer expectations. The notable cast also includes Mitchell Hope, Wendy Raquel Robinson, Maz Jobrani, Kathy Najimy and the Tony Award-winning Kristin Chenoweth.
