A young princess must go on an invigorating quest to break a dark spell in Netflix’s Spellbound. The new trailer shows Ellian (voiced by Rachel Zegler, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes) is ready to do whatever it takes to rescue her mom and dad, and save her kingdom.
John Lithgow, Jenifer Lewis, Tituss Burgess, and Nathan Lane also lend their voices to the animated fairy tale. Being the Ricardos stars Javier Bardem and Nicole Kidman reunite to voice Ellian’s parents.
“Spellbound follows the adventures of Ellian, the tenacious young daughter of the rulers of Lumbria who must go on a daring quest to save her family and kingdom after a mysterious spell transforms her parents into monsters,” reads Netflix’s synopsis.
Spellbound premieres on Netflix on November 22, 2024.
“Mythology and fairytales have always been part of my life and upbringing. My father, the son of immigrant Romanian parents, was an aspiring writer and my mother, raised in Costa Rica by literary parents, taught us to love the arts and old family ghost stories. Storytelling runs deep in our families!” says director Vicky Jenson.
Jenson continues: “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.”
