While many say that Disney+ TV movies have stepped down in quality, there is still one franchise that proves the contrary: “Descendants,” which has just released its fourth installment!
“Descendants: The Rise of Red” is set ten years after the events of the third film. In this timeline, Mal, Ben, Evie, and Jay have left Auradon to establish alliances with other kingdoms, leaving Uma as the new headmistress of Auradon Prep. Her first order of business is to open the border between Auradon and Wonderland by inviting Princess Red, the chaotic daughter of the Queen of Hearts.
This is just the beginning of a plot full of twists and turns! New young villains, whose parents we already love, are introduced. One of these new characters, Morgie le Fay, is the son of a villain who is relatively unknown. Here, learn everything about Morgana le Fay.
Which Disney movie does Morgana le Fay belong to?
If the name Morgana le Fay doesn’t sound familiar to you, it’s because you’ve been missing out on one of Disney’s most underrated movies. This is “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” released in 2010.

In this action-adventure film, Nicolas Cage portrays Balthazar Blake, a sorcerer in modern-day Manhattan who tries to stop evil sorcerers from destroying the world while searching for The Prime Merlinean, the only person predestined to defeat the wicked.
Morgana le Fay is the most powerful antagonist of the production, the sorceress that Balthazar needs to stop at any cost. At the beginning, he imprisons her in “Grimhold,” a magical prison that takes the shape of of a nesting doll. Of course, she has such power that she won’t be held there for long and needs to be defeated.
Otherwise, she will cast a very dangerous spell named “The Rising,” which would revive sorcerers from the dead and enslave all human beings. Quite interesting, right? But the truth is, this woman is not a Disney original.
Actually, the entertainment company took inspiration from the legend of King Arthur, where Morgan le Fay is his sister. However, in Arthurian literature, her character was not deepened beyond her role as a goddess and a fay, and she was generally benevolent. Over the years, she started to be portrayed more as an antagonist.
