Hexed, the latest original animated film from Walt Disney Animation Studios, is helmed by Josie Trinidad and Jason Hand (Zootopia, Ralph Breaks the Internet). The feature follows the journey of a teenager and his mother as their lives are turned upside down after discovering magical powers, weaving a coming-of-age story with supernatural elements. The film was unveiled during the Walt Disney Studios Showcase panel at Destination D23 2025 event.
Hexed will be playing in cinemas starting from November 25, 2026.
Synopsis: An eccentric teenager discovers that his clumsiness masks real magical powers. Alongside his meticulous and disciplined mother, he ventures into a hidden world where magic exists just beyond everyday life. This revelation upends their routine, plunging them into an enchanting and perilous realm filled with wonder and unexpected dangers.
Hexed is aimed at family and teenage audiences, with a thematic focus on self-acceptance and the mother-son relationship. The film follows in the footsteps of recent Disney productions such as Encanto, Raya and the Last Dragon and Wish, which explore original stories rather than sequels. Its blend of understated humor, supernatural elements and contemporary urban universes aims to appeal to a wide audience in search of modern stories with a fantastical edge.
With Hexed, Disney Animation continues its commitment to offering original creations. Directed by Josie Trinidad and Jason Hand, the film explores the boundary between everyday life and magic through a family tale tinged with weirdness. Scheduled for cinema release in November 2026 (in the USA, to be precise), it joins the studio's busy schedule of Pixar projects and anticipated sequels. All we have to do now is wait until autumn 2026!
