Disney's 'Descendants 3' : When Does It Premiere, and How Will It Honor Cameron Boyce?

With its nicely rounded story and message of inclusion,Descendants 3is possibly the best in this popular series of family-oriented Disney movies.

It’s the saddest too:Cameron Boyce, who has played Cruella De Vil’s son Carlos since the firstDescendantsfour years ago, died July 6 at age 20. He has several sweet moments that stand out in this busy, bustling ensemble entertainment. In one he makes a sentimental little birthday present for Jane, the Fairy Godmother’s daughter (he tells her he used a 3D printer), and he also gets a last spirited bit of dialogue at the very end.

Feeling upstaged, Audrey decides there’s no benefit to being a Disney princess, singing, “I never thought of myself as mean/ I always thought that I’d be the queen/ And there’s no in-between.” Soon she’s cackling madly and mucking around with spells.

The telecast will also be dedicated in Boyce’s honor.

Descendants 3premieres Friday at 8 p.m. ET on the Disney Channel.
