“An Original Fairy Tale Take on a Modern Story”
âFor me, the story [of Spellbound] is even more universal than the specifics of this family dynamic. For me, it speaks to kids and their parents, to the kind of alienation that can happen as we grow up, and the steps we have to make towards each other to weather it together and come through the other side with better understanding.â
“I hope that audiences will see how incredible the art of animation is when it comes to teaching tough lessons to the next generation. Spellbound handles delicate subjects with a lot of beautiful imagery, music, and an allegorical approach to real life issues that kids sometimes face.”

After their acclaimed work together in BEING THE RICARDOS, Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem join forces again and have been added to the Cast of upcoming Animated Musical Feature, SPELLBOUND.
More details:
Kidman will be voicing the role of âEllsmere,â the kind and just, yet hyper-precise Queen of Lumbria; and Bardem will voice âSolon,’ the boastful yet big-hearted King of Lumbria. Together, they are the parents of ‘Princess Ellianâ (voice by West Side Story’s Rachel Zegler), who they join on her daring quest to save her family and kingdom after a mysterious spell transforms them into monsters and threatens to cover Lumbria in darkness forever.Â
Also joining the cast is multi-award winner John Lithgow (âSharper,â âKillers of the Flower Moon,â âBombshellâ), who will provide the voice for ‘Minister Bolinar,â and Jenifer Lewis (âThe Princess and the Frog,â âBlack-ish,â âI Love That For You”) who will provide the voice for ‘Minister Nazara Prone,’ both royal advisors to Princess Ellian. Ellian seeks out The Oracles of the Sun and Moon, voiced by Nathan Lane (âThe Lion King,â âThe Producers,â âThe Birdcageâ) and Emmy Award winner AndrĂ© De Shields (âtick, tickâŠBOOM!,â âHadestown,â âExtreme Measuresâ), to break the spell on her parents and the kingdom. Throughout her journey, Ellian meets several characters who help her, including âCallan,â a young nomad, voiced by Jordan Fisher (Broadwayâs âDear Evan Hansen,â âHello, Goodbye and Everything in Between,â âTo All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You”).
âSpellboundâ is directed by Vicky Jenson (âShrekâ) and written by Lauren Hynek & Elizabeth Martin and Linda Woolverton.
