Descendants 2 premiered on July 21, 2017, simulcast across six Disney-owned networks, and brought Mal back to the Isle of the Lost where her old rival Uma, Ursula's daughter, now runs the pirates with Harry Hook and Gil at her side. Kenny Ortega directed and choreographed again, the cast of the first film returned, and the soundtrack debuted at number six on the Billboard 200 behind the lead single and the gold-certified 'What's My Name'. This quiz covers the story (the blonde-hair spell, the arm wrestle, the 3D-printed wand, the Cotillion and the sea-monster-versus-dragon finish), the cast and casting (who was announced first, who did not return, which star voices Uma's mother), the production (budget, filming in British Columbia, the post-credits scene that was not in the script), the ratings and DVD numbers, the soundtrack chart positions, and the prequel novel Rise of the Isle of the Lost. Fifty questions, four options each, with a short explanation after every answer. Play through or print it out for a party.

A truth gummy

Q 08In Descendants 2, what is the name of Carlos's dog, who gains the power of speech?

Q 09In Descendants 2, whom does Carlos want Mal's help to ask to the Cotillion?

Q 12In Descendants 2, who catches Carlos and Jay leaving for the Isle and insists on joining Ben's rescue?
Lonnie
Lonnie. Mulan's daughter threatens to tell the Fairy Godmother unless they take her; she had been kept off Jay's team because its rule book called for men, and he ends up making her captain.

Q 23In Descendants 2, Mal's mother Maleficent is still stuck in the form of which small creature?

Q 16In Descendants 2, what does Mal hand over to the Fairy Godmother once she and Ben reunite?
Her spell book
Her spell book. Evie had told her it belonged in the museum, and it was Ben's discovery of it at their picnic that started the quarrel which sent Mal back to the Isle.
Q 17According to China Anne McClain, which part of Descendants 2 was added after the script she first read?
The final tease

Q 18At the Cotillion in Descendants 2, which gift from Ben is unveiled to show his love for Mal?

Q 20When China Anne McClain was cast as Uma in Descendants 2, which character was she already voicing in the franchise's animated spinoff?
Freddie
Freddie. She is the daughter of the voodoo villain Dr Facilier, and once McClain was busy playing Uma her sister Lauryn took over the character's voice for the second season.
A lizard. At the end of the first film she shrank to a size that matched the love in her heart, and six months on a reporter is still asking Mal whether her mother has changed back.
Q 24Descendants 2 was filmed mostly in Vancouver and which other British Columbia city?
Victoria
Victoria. The production went there for Hatley Castle, the turreted mansion that plays Auradon Prep, a building film crews like so much that it is also Professor Xavier's school in the X-Men films.
Q 25In Descendants 2, how is Evie making so much money at Auradon Prep?

Q 27Which new series had its world premiere on Disney Channel immediately after Descendants 2?

Q 28In Descendants 2, which duet do Mal and Evie sing in their hideout when Mal says she is staying on the Isle?

Q 29Which song was released as the lead single from the Descendants 2 soundtrack?

Q 30Which actor portrays Gil, one of Uma's pirate crew, in Descendants 2?
Dylan Playfair
