The movie quickly became a go-to favorite for the Disney crowd.It really felt special. It was also my first movie and my first really big job so everything for me was just magical like out of a movie,” Carson said.

She went on, “Working with Kenny Ortega (director, choreographer), working with an amazing cast, to play the daughter of the legendary Evil Queen, all of it was very surreal. And I know that we all felt that we had something special on our hands, but I definitely did not anticipate or ever imagine the scope of what ‘Descendants’ has become thanks to fans who have fallen in love with the character and taken it beyond what I ever imagined. Evie really changed my life. And now we have the sequel. I’ve been able to shoot four movies since that film. It launched my career.”

“It was surreal. Growing up I had always sung and been in dance lessons. But I’d never really performed like that before, being on stage singing and dancing at the same time,” said Carson.
