Villains and their minions are imprisoned on the Isle of the Lost, a slum-like island surrounded by a barrier that prevents the use of magic (deceased villains were resurrected to succumb in this punishment). 20 years later, their son, Prince Ben, is soon to be crowned king. As his first proclamation, Ben wishes to give the kids on the Isle of the Lost the chance to live in Auradon. Though skeptical, his parents accede to his idea. The kids chosen are: Carlos, son of Cruella de Vil; Jay, son of Jafar; Evie, daughter of the Evil Queen; and Mal, daughter of Maleficent. The quartet are causing mischief until they are summoned by Maleficent ("Rotten to the Core"), who orders them to use their school trip to steal Fairy Godmother's wand; with it, the villains will break the barrier and control of both sides of magic. At Auradon Prep, Carlos, Jay, Evie, and Mal are greeted by Fairy Godmother the school's headmistress, as well as Ben and his "girlfriend" Princess Audrey, daughter of Aurora and Prince Phillip. During a campus tour, Mal and Ben seemingly connect while Dopey's son Doug is smitten with Evie. That night, Evie uses her mother's magic mirror to locate the wand at a nearby museum and the four attempt to steal it. Using her mother's spellbook, Mal activates Maleficent's spinning wheel (an artifact in the museum) to put the guard to sleep. They see statues of their parents, realizing they were once impressive. Questioning her nature, Mal is convinced to follow through with the mission upon having a vision of Maleficent enticing her ("Evil Like Me"). Jay attempts to take the wand, but is repelled by a barrier and sets off an alarm. The group escape and reluctantly prepare to attend class. Jay is soon recruited for the school's tourney (a fictional sport) team due to his physical aptitude. Carlos ends up befriending the school's mutt Dude and also joins the tourney team. Evie excels academically (by cheating with the magic mirror) and becomes infatuated with Prince Chad Charming: son of Cinderella and Prince Charming who convinces her to do his homework so he'll have time to see her. She learns from Doug that Fairy Godmother will bless Ben at his coronation with her wand. Mal manipulates Fairy Godmother's daughter Jane by using magic to restyle her hair and saying only her mother's wand can do more. Mulan and Li Shang's daughter Lonnie befriends Mal, paying for Mal to improve her hair as well thus becomes popular among many girls. When Mal learns Ben's girlfriend is the only person besides his family to be seated near the wand at the coronation, she bakes a love potion into a chocolate chip cookie (obtaining a tear of human sadness, a critical ingredient, from an unwitting Lonnie, who cries when she learns villains are not loving parents) and convinces Ben to eat it by playing on his trust. Jay, Carlos and Ben work together to win the tourney game and Jay is named MVP. Ben declares his love for Mal, asking her to the coronation ("Did I Mention"). In retaliation, Audrey announces Chad as her new boyfriend, much to Evie's dismay. Evie has to take a chemistry test without her mirror after Chad has the teacher confiscate it. She gets a B+, proving she possesses more than beauty; she shows Doug, who believed in her, and agrees to spend more time with him. Ben asked Mal on a date, taking her to a picnic by a lake. Ben goes for a swim alone, while Mal reflects on how confused she's becoming ("If Only"). When Ben disappears, Mal jumps in to find him despite her inability to swim. Ben surfaces and rescues Mal asking if she reciprocates his love. Mal says she doesn't know what love feels like, Ben offers to teach her. During Auradon Prep's family day, the four are permitted a video chat with their parents. Maleficent subtly warns them against failure and the conversation then devolves into embarrassing squabbling among the adults. Mal reiterates that they will be punished if they fail the mission, but it's clear that they are all reluctant because of the bonds they have formed ("If Only (Reprise)"). The visiting parents are welcomed ("Be Our Guest"). Ben shocks his parents by introducing Mal as his new girlfriend. Audrey's grandmother Queen Leah berates Mal over being robbed of her daughter's childhood by Maleficent's curse. When Chad insults the quartet, a fight breaks out and the villains' children are ostracized. Jane joins in the mockery, a hurt Mal undoes her hair back to its previous style. The four are recommitted to their mission. During the pre-coronation procession, Mal gives Ben a brownie with the love spell's antidote, feeling it would be unnecessarily cruel to keep him in love with her during Maleficent's invasion. He eats it prematurely, but then admits that he already knew about the love spell as it had been lifted by his swim in the Enchanted Lake during their first date. Believing she was motivated by her crush on him, he tells her that his feelings are genuine and gives her his signet ring. After the coronation blessing, Jane snatches the wand to give herself the magical makeover her mother won't allow. Unable to control the wand, Jane accidentally breaches the Isle of the Lost's barrier. Maleficent immediately flies away. Mal seizes the wand from Jane. Torn over what to do, she heeds Ben's advice to make her own choice and, recognizing that she and her friends have found happiness in their new lives in Auradon, leads them to decide to be good. Maleficent arrives as Mal returns the wand to Fairy Godmother, but Maleficent easily overpowers her, freezes everyone at the coronation except for herself and the four children, and takes the wand. Mal rebukes her mother and her evil ways, extolling the value of love and taking the wand from her. The four battle Maleficent who transforms into a dragon. Mal counteracts a spell that turns her mother into a tiny lizard. Fairy Godmother unfreezes and explains that Maleficent's size is equivalent to the amount of love in her heart, and she can be freed from this form if she learns to love. She unfreezes the other guests. While Maleficent's lizard form is taken away, Mal tells Fairy Godmother not to be too hard on Jane. Cruella, Jafar, and the Evil Queen have ambiguous reactions to seeing the coronation fireworks from the Isle of the Lost. Everyone in Auradon celebrates the coronation ("Set It Off"). The film ends with Mal's eyes glowing mischievously and hinting at more adventures to come. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Descendants (2015 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
