Netflix has just dropped the trailer for Spellbound, an animated fantasy adventure set to bring magic to screens this holiday season. Directed by Vicky Jenson (Shrek), the film features the voices of Rachel Zegler, Jenifer Lewis, Tituss Burgess, Nicole Kidman, and Javier Bardem, along with a score by EGOT-winning composer Alan Menken and lyrics by Glenn Slater.
Spellbound follows the story of Princess Ellian (voiced by Rachel Zegler), a brave young princess in the mythical kingdom of Lumbria, who embarks on a perilous quest to break a spell that’s transformed her parents, Queen Ellsmere (Kidman) and King Solon (Bardem), into monsters. The spell not only divides her family but also threatens the kingdom itself, setting the stage for an epic journey that combines elements of classic mythology with a modern twist.

Lewis lends her voice to Nazara, Nathan Lane plays the Oracle of the Moon, Burgess portrays the Oracle of the Sun, John Lithgow voices Bolinar.
Produced by Skydance Animation and Netflix, Spellbound marks Skydance’s first original animated film for Netflix following its recent move from Apple TV+. This partnership is expected to bring a series of animated projects to the platform, with Spellbound leading the way and others, including Pookoo and Ray Gunn, on the horizon.
The trailer, now available on Netflix’s platform, offers a first look at this enchanting world of Lumbria and the heartfelt journey of Princess Ellian. Set to premiere on November 22, Spellbound promises to be a spellbinding family experience, inviting viewers to journey alongside Ellian as she fights to restore her family and bring harmony to her kingdom.
