As one of the "core four" villain kids, Cameron Boyce was a huge part of Disney's Descendants series. His unexpected death left a huge hole in the hearts of the Descendants family, and they wanted to express their love for their lost friend in a big way. The third installment to the Descendants trilogy, which aired almost a month after Boyce's passing, was dedicated to the late star.
On the night of the film's premiere on Aug. 2, 2019, Disney Channel PR shared a two-minute video on Twitter in Boyce's memory, writing in the caption, "Tonight's premiere of #Descendants3 is dedicated to #CameronBoyce and is a celebration of his talent and the joy he brought to the world. You'll always be in our hearts, Cameron."
The emotional video showcased Boyce's contagious smile, his high energy on set, the actor's bloopers, and praise from those who worked with him over the course of his life. Along with dedicating the third film to Boyce's memory, Disney also canceled the red carpet premiere for Descendants 3 out of respect for Boyce.
