“I’m on the path of destruction. They gon’ think I’m on one,” Kylie Cantrall sings as she holds a red balloon. She throws it at a picture of her mom, the Queen of Hearts and it explodes with red paint. A great opening song that sets the tone for the movie, Descendants: Rise of Red. The audience really gets to know what Red is all about. See how the Princess of Hearts entertains herself when the lights go out in Wonderland.
