Disney has finally teased us with an image of the adult cast of The Descendants in costume... my head is spinning. i'll start with what i like, the Jafar costume is pretty great, i love the fabrics used, the colors are great, and it's a pretty great translation of the animated original. the actor himself doesn't look very Jafar ish, but we shall see how his performance is. it's hard because i think once upon a time in wonderland did a pretty great depiction of Jafar, but i have an open mind. Kristin as Maleficent is going to be great, i'm intrigued because she was the only one they have really teased in the trailer and in previous photos and she was wearing a different costume, so maybe we will see her in more than one. You don't see much of the costume in this photo, but i love the solid black, it looks like it has some great texture to it, and a little glitz, which i always love. Now for what i don't like... Cruella looks horrid, that costume is cheap and tacky, and her wig looks nothing like Cruella's trade mark two toned do. You can't have the costumes in the Glenn Close version, or even Once Upon a Time's take on the villain, and then go to this tragic tacky ass mess. she better not wear that coat the whole film or i will be pissed. i get trying to do something different and going in a different direction, but there is a way to do that correctly, and this is not it. The Wicked Queen looks cheap, it looks like a halloween costume they bought at Party City, and not even one of the expensive 100.00 ones, like a cheap 35.00 one. and the crown looks like it's made of cardboard. the whole thing looks cheap. im hoping she will also get a costume change because looking at this the whole movie will be painful. i am still looking forward to this film, and i love what they have done with the costumes for the kids. it will be interesting to see how this all looks in the actual movie. What do you think, do you like the costumes so far? Are you excited for the film still?
