Come with us to D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event 2026 for some BIG reveals!
‘Hexed’ showcase!
The massive Disney expo is being held at the Anaheim Convention Center and nearby Honda Center from August 14th through the 16th, and Disney invited us out a little early to get a closer look at some upcoming projects! Walt Disney Animation Studios specifically showed us a closer look at its newest film — Hexed — and we’re bringing you along for the ride!
Set to release later this fall on November 25th, 2026, Hexed is a comedy directed by Fawn Veerasunthorn and Jason Hand, starring the voices of Hailee Steinfeld, Rashida Jones, Tracey Ullman, and Stephen Fry. The film follows a teen girl named Billie (played by Steinfeld), who discovers magical abilities that will take her from a quiet suburban life into the world of Hexe — a realm of witches. Together with her mother Alice (played by Jones), the two will investigate the family’s witchy secrets, taking them on an incredible journey.

It looks like Hexed will be giving us another adorable little monster that we’ll be obsessed with for years!
We can’t wait to see this new character on the big screen
This show floor gave us a better understanding of the overall vibe of the film — which really seems to be leaning into the mystical and mischievous.
More aesthetic
The aesthetic here will really evoke the whimsical charm of Disney-themed witchcraft — at least from what we’ve seen so far.
A closer look
Other sneak peeks included some concept art, a closer look at more characters (Ms. Quill — an enchanted feather quill pen played by Ullman — and Elias Quire — a magical journal played by Fry), and some film stills!
We’re in for a wild ride!
Regarding the new movie, Disney teased that it will feature some new things not yet seen in a Disney animated film!
