Video: Kylie Cantrall and Malia Baker Discuss DESCENDANTS: THE RISE OF RED

Kylie Cantrall and Malia Baker, stars of the latest Descendants movie, stopped by GOOD MORNING AMERICA to discuss the upcoming installment of the beloved franchise. In Descendants: The Rise of Red, Baker plays Chloe Charming, daughter of Cinderella. Brandy returned to the role of the princess that she played in the 1997 TV version of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical.

Baker said working with Brandy was "surreal...She is an icon in the industry...She was so nurturing and really had that mother spirit to her."

Cantrall plays Red, who is the daughter of the Queen of Hearts. "She's this rebellious teenager who is kind of going on this journey of self-discovery," Cantrall told GMA about her character.

Because the duo are friends, they admitted that playing adversaries was a challenge.  "Those scenes were hard- the ones where we had to hate each other- because we couldn't be further from that," said Cantrall.
