Hold onto your broomsticks, folks! Disney has just dropped the official trailer for its upcoming animated feature, “Hexed,” and it looks like we’re in for a magical ride starting in late November 2026. Yes, you heard that right—2026, because apparently, Disney has decided that making us wait a few years for a good old-fashioned coming-of-age story about witches is a great idea.
So, what’s the scoop? Well, the story revolves around an awkward teen (because, let’s face it, who isn’t awkward at that age?) and her Type-A mother who discovers that they might just have a few magical tricks up their sleeves. You know, typical family bonding over the realization that you’re a witch—nothing says quality time like a little spell-casting and cauldron-stirring.
The voice cast is a star-studded lineup featuring Hailee Steinfeld, who is clearly on a roll with her career (seriously, did you see her in “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”?), and Rashida Jones. They’ll be joined by Tracey Ullman, who lends her voice to Ms. Quill, an enchanted feather quill pen. Yes, you read that right. A quill pen. I can already hear the jokes about “writing your own destiny”—get ready for some puns, folks!
And let’s not forget Stephen Fry, who voices a magical journal named Elias Quire. I mean, if you’ve ever wanted to hear a journal talk back to you, this is your chance. Jodie Foster takes on the role of Queen Celeste, the villainous queen of the witches. I don’t know about you, but I’m excited to see how she channels her inner evil queen. And then there’s Walton Goggins as Beef Roger Crumbchuck, a three-eyed green cat. Yes, you read that correctly—three eyes. Because one eye is just too mainstream for Disney.
Director Jason Hand has hinted at deeper themes in “Hexed,” stating that it’s a journey of self-discovery for our protagonist, Billie. Apparently, this magical adventure will help her uncover long-held family secrets, which sounds like a classic Disney trope. But hey, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right?
The trailer promises a visually stunning experience filled with bright colors, enchanting landscapes, and, of course, plenty of humor. It seems like Disney is aiming to deliver that perfect blend of empowerment and entertainment. And yes, it may borrow some ideas from past classics, but who doesn’t love a good throwback?
So, mark your calendars and prepare for a whimsical adventure when “Hexed” hits theaters. Whether you’re a fan of witches, magical transformations, or just need a good laugh, this film seems ready to deliver. And who knows? Maybe you’ll leave the theater feeling a little witchy yourself. Just don’t forget to thank your mom for not telling you about your own magical lineage—because that would be awkward, right?
In the meantime, check out the trailer and get ready to be enchanted by “Hexed”—the film we didn’t know we needed until now!
