Descendants: The Royal Wedding follows Mal and King Ben as they prepare for their nuptials in Auradon, only to face an unexpected threat from Hades.

There is no sexual content in this film, other than the romantic leads Ben and Mal sharing a brief, G-rated kiss.

Violence is mild and stylized, limited to magical fantasy combat. Characters are turned into statues or beasts, but the sequences are non-graphic.

There is no profanity or inappropriate language used.

There is no substance use or depictions of drugs, alcohol, or smoking.

The story deals with themes of grief, abandonment by a parent, and reconciliation. The narrative includes a poignant, non-graphic acknowledgement of a character's absence to reflect the real-life passing of actor Cameron Boyce.
