Disney’s ‘Hexed’ Casts Its Spell at the World Premiere
Disney just cast a spell on Hollywood — and Toledo families are going to want in on the magic.
Disney’s new animated adventure Hexed had its world premiere Wednesday night, Nov. 12, at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, and the stars came out in force to celebrate the film’s big debut, according to Business Wire.
Hailee Steinfeld voices Billie, an impulsive and unconventional teenage girl who discovers secret magical abilities that hurtle her out of suburbia into Hexe, a vast witch realm. Forced to team up with her cautious mother Alice, voiced by Rashida Jones, the two uncover family mysteries that could change the world of witches forever.
Walton Goggins voices Beef Roger Crummchuk, a reclusive magical three-eyed cat who forges an uneasy alliance with Billie and Alice, while two-time Oscar winner Jodie Foster voices Queen Celeste, a sinister figure who will stop at nothing to maintain her power. The voice cast also includes Henry Winkler, Dan Stevens, Tracey Ullman and Stephen Fry — a lineup stacked with legends.
Directed by Jason Hand and Fawn Veerasunthorn, co-directed by Josie Trinidad, from a screenplay by Jared Bush and Dana Ledoux Miller, with an original score by Kris Bowers, Hexed looks like the kind of big, bright, laugh-out-loud adventure that plays just as well on a Toledo family movie night as it does on a Hollywood red carpet.
For Toledo moviegoers looking for something to do while the turkey leftovers last, this is the one to circle on the calendar. Billie’s journey from ordinary suburbia to a hidden world of witches is a reminder that magic — and family — can show up in the most unexpected places.
Hexed opens exclusively in theaters November 25, 2026 — right in time for Thanksgiving week, a perfect family outing. Grab the popcorn, round up the crew, and get ready to step into Hexe. Learn more at the official site movies.disney.com/hexed.
