Netflix has released the official trailer and key art for its upcoming animated musical, Spellbound. The film follows a young girl who must go on a quest to save her family and kingdom after her parents are transformed into monsters by a spell. The film will be released on November 22, 2024 on Netflix exclusively.
Director Vicky Jenson said about the film, “Spellbound is about what it is that really makes a family. Like any timeless myth or lasting fairytale, I believe the meaning reaches even further than the specifics of this family’s dynamic. It speaks to kids and their parents and the kinds of alienation that can happen between them as well as the steps we have to take toward each other, how we can weather it together, to come through to the other side with better understanding.”
Its incredible cast includes Rachel Zegler, John Lithgow, Jenifer Lewis, Nathan Lane, Tituss Burgess, Javier Bardem, and Nicole Kidman. It also has the musical talents of Alan Menken (The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast) and lyrics by Glenn Slater (Tangled).
