Walt Disney Animation Studios has released a trailer and poster for “Disney’s Hexed,” adding a new animated adventure to hailee steinfeld movies. The film stars Steinfeld as a teenager whose newly discovered magical abilities take her from suburbia into a witch realm, with a cinema release set for November 27, 2026.
The story follows Billie Doe, an impulsive and unconventional teenager voiced by Steinfeld. Her powers send her into Hexe, where she must join forces with her cautious mother, Alice, voiced by Rashida Jones. The journey leads them to family mysteries that could change the world of witches.
Disney announced the trailer and poster on October 12, 2026. The studio says “Disney’s Hexed” will be released exclusively in cinemas, rather than describing a streaming launch.
That theatrical plan gives the film a clear place in Disney’s upcoming slate, while the story centers on a mother and daughter navigating a magical world together. For audiences, the central draw is the pairing of Steinfeld and Jones, set against a setting the studio describes as a vast witch realm.
