“We have to break this spell!” Netflix & Skydance Animation have debuted the main official trailer for an animated adventure called Spellbound, made by filmmaker Vicky Jenson (who also co-directed Shrek and Shark Tale years ago). This big family movie musical featuring original songs will be streaming on Netflix in in November before Thanksgiving. Every kid has trouble getting along with their parents sometimes, but this is just ridiculous. Ha ha. In Spellbound, Ellian (voiced by Rachel Zegler) squares off with her mother and father, the king and queen of Lumbria. But this isn’t any typical family drama — a mysterious spell has transformed her parents into massive, rampaging monsters. She goes on a quest to find out how to save her parents and maybe the entire kingdom. The main voice cast also includes John Lithgow, Jenifer Lewis, Nathan Lane, Tituss Burgess, with Javier Bardem & Nicole Kidman. With songs written by musical legend Alan Menken & Glenn Slater (Tangled, UglyDolls, Foodtopia). This looks big and sweeping and entertaining and uplifting, another fun adventure with beasts and magic and mystery galore. Worth a look.
Here’s the main official trailer (+ poster) for Vicky Jenson’s movie Spellbound, from Netflix’s YouTube:

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. Spellbound also features an original score from EGOT-winning composer Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast) with lyrics written by Glenn Slater (Tangled). Spellbound is directed by American story artist / filmmaker Vicky Jenson, a co-director on Shrek and Shark Tale, plus director of the movie Post Grad previously, and episodes of the series “Firsts” & “Our Own Devices” most recently. The screenplay is written by Lauren Hynek & Elizabeth Martin and Julia Miranda. It’s produced by John Lasseter, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, & Bruce Anderson; and made by Skydance Animation. Netflix will release Jenson’s Spellbound movie streaming on Netflix worldwide starting on November 22nd, 2024 this fall. Any good?
