In order to foster excitement for the Disney Channel Original Movie, Descendants, Disney released the first six minutes of the movie, along with an introduction by director Kenny Ortega of High School Musical fame.

Most of the clip introduces the song “Rotten to the Core,” but readers of the companion novel The Isle of the Lost: A Descendants Novel will also recognize the scene from the end of the book, which features Prince Ben (played by Mitchell Hope); his parents, Belle and King Beast (Keegan Connor Tracy and Dan Payne, respectively); and presumably Lumiere in the background.

Disney’s Descendants will premiere next week on July 31st.
