Disney has plenty of film franchises, but the biggest in recent years has to be the direct-to-streaming "Descendants" series. Here from the stars of the new movie.

Why this matters in The Waco

The return of Disney's "Descendants" series is likely to resonate with local families in Waco, where many parents and children have grown up with the franchise. As a community with a strong focus on family-friendly activities and events, the release of a new "Descendants" movie could lead to increased interest in related merchandise and themed parties at local businesses. Additionally, the popularity of the series may inspire local theater groups or schools to stage their own productions based on the franchise, providing opportunities for young performers in the area. With the city's emphasis on community events, it's possible that local organizations will host screenings or viewing parties for the new movie, further solidifying its connection to the Waco community. The impact of the series on local youth culture will be worth watching in the coming weeks.
