Violence
The film includes mild fantasy violence and peril that is consistent with the Descendants series. Characters engage in magical duels using spells and enchanted objects, with bursts of colourful energy rather than realistic violence. There are scenes of chasing, swordplay, falls, and magical confrontations between heroes and villains.
Some younger children may find scenes of threat or suspense mildly scary. The villain creates moments of danger, characters are captured or placed at risk, and there are sequences involving dark magic, eerie Wonderland settings, and fantastical creatures. However, these moments are brief, have a playful fantasy tone, and are balanced by humour, music, and positive resolutions. There is no graphic injury, blood, or realistic violence.
