They've really broken the timeline here. I know history isn't quite Disney's strongest suit and can bend historical rules for the sake of a cameo, but they are pushing it to the breaking by interacting with characters from what are clearly different time periods, far beyond cameo form. Beauty and the Beast, as Glen Keane stated, was late 18th Century, and Cruella de Vil doesn't even need a descendent, as she was born about two centuries, a century and a half, tops, after even Ben lived. Heck, most of the hero characters are probably going to be either far beyond mere "offspring" or otherwise possibly not even born yet. Most of the villains obviously were virgins by the time they died anyways (at least in the original films), so why would they have descendants (heck, knowing it takes place after BATB, as stated above, Cruella doesn't even NEED a descendant, all she needs is an ancestor)? Sorry, but thanks to all the errors on this, some severe enough that even suspension of disbelief would not work, I have no choice but to pretend this show never happened. Now, if the characters were, say, descendants of the villains Ursula/Morgana, Mother Gothel, Drizella, and/or Hans, and the heroic characters were Melody, and the children of Cinderella, Rapunzel Rider, and either Anna or Elsa, and it took place before Return to the Sea, I can at least buy into it, since they at least take place in the same century. But this... I'm very sorry, but this is breaking continuity and realism, even for Disney.
