Which Hexed Character Are You?

Learn More About Hexed

Hexed is Walt Disney Animation Studios’ big Thanksgiving release for 2026, arriving in theaters on November 25. It’s an original story rather than a sequel or remake, which makes it one of the more unusual entries in the studio’s recent lineup — a brand-new world, brand-new characters, and a premise built entirely from scratch.

The film follows Billie Doe, a teenage girl from the very ordinary town of Plainsville, Ohio, who discovers she’s a witch. That revelation pulls her out of suburbia and into Hexe, a sprawling witch realm full of enchanted objects, strange creatures and old secrets. The twist is that she isn’t going alone: her cautious mother, Alice, turns out to have a magical past of her own, and the two are forced to team up to uncover family mysteries that could change the world of witches forever.

Hailee Steinfeld voices Billie, and Rashida Jones plays Alice. The mother-daughter relationship sits at the heart of the movie — Billie loves witchcraft, plants and anything spooky and hates being told no, while Alice likes rules, safety and keeping her daughter close. Producer Roy Conli has said Jones was the first actor cast, and that the chemistry between the two leads became the backbone of the story.

The supporting cast is stacked. Jodie Foster makes her first Disney animated appearance as Queen Celeste, the ruler of the witches, who will do just about anything to hold on to her power over Hexe. Walton Goggins voices Beef Roger Crummchuk, a reclusive three-eyed green cat who reluctantly agrees to guide Billie through the magical world. Henry Winkler plays Nigel, a skittish and surprisingly all-knowing potoo bird, and Dan Stevens voices Hieronymous, the queen’s self-important Grand Councillor.

Hexe is also packed with enchanted objects that talk back. Tracey Ullman voices Ms. Quill, a feather quill pen, and Stephen Fry plays Elias Quire, a magical journal — the pair welcome Billie when she first arrives. And then there’s Bucket, an enchanted cauldron who becomes Billie’s unexpectedly loyal companion (and who absolutely does not get along with Beef Roger).

Behind the camera, Hexed is directed by Fawn Veerasunthorn and Jason Hand, with Josie Trinidad as co-director. The script comes from Jared Bush and Dana Ledoux Miller, and Roy Conli and Yvett Merino produce. Bush, now Disney Animation’s chief creative officer, brought the cast on stage at D23 in August 2026 to show off early footage.
