Nicole Kidman is no stranger to playing royalty. A decade after she graced our screens as Grace Kelly, the Princess of Monaco, in “Grace of Monaco” (2014), she is ready to don the crown once again in Netflix’s new Skydance animation movie “Spellbound.” This time, she’s joined by Javier Bardem, who plays the King.
Directed by the talented Vicky Jenson, known for her work on “Shrek,” “Spellbound” is an animated fantasy comedy that promises to enchant audiences of all ages. The story revolves around Princess Ellian, voiced by the charismatic Rachel Zegler (‘West Side Story’/‘Shazam, The Fury of Gods’), as she embarks on a thrilling quest to lift a curse that has transformed her parents, the King (Javier Bardem) and the Queen (Nicole Kidman), into giant monsters. The stakes are high as Ellian races against time to restore her parents to their human forms before the curse becomes permanent.
Adding to the magic of “Spellbound” is the original score by the legendary composer Alan Menken. With a resume that includes classics like “Beauty and the Beast,” “Aladdin,” and “The Little Mermaid,” Menken’s music is sure to elevate the film’s enchanting atmosphere. Although the trailer doesn’t showcase much of this new soundtrack, the movie seems poised to be a fun, comedic family entertainer that will captivate viewers.
Mark your calendars, because “Spellbound” is set to release on November 22. In the meantime, you can catch a glimpse of the magic to come by watching the trailer on YouTube, also embedded below.
