Spellbound follows the adventures of Ellian, the tenacious young daughter of the rulers of Lumbria, who must go on a daring quest to save her family and kingdom after a mysterious spell transforms her parents into monsters. In this Goggler exclusive, we sat down with Rachel Zegler and Jenifer Lewis to talk their new Netflix animated feature Spellbound and finding their characters.

Spellbound premieres on Netflix on November 22.

On the eve of her 15th birthday, Ellian (Rachel Zegler) should be celebrating like royalty. Instead, the tenacious young daughter of the rulers of Lumbria harbors a secret: a mysterious spell has transformed her parents, Queen Ellsmere (Nicole Kidman) and King Solon (Javier Bardem), into monsters. When they escape the palace, panic spreads throughout the kingdom and Ellian must go on a daring quest to undo the spell before it’s too late. But she quickly learns that even if she succeeds, her family may still be changed forever.

Also starring John Lithgow, Jenifer Lewis, Nathan Lane, and Tituss Burgess, Spellbound is directed by Vicky Jenson (Shrek) with original score from EGOT-winning composer Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast) and lyrics by Glenn Slater (Tangled). A Netflix Film from Skydance Animation, Spellbound is written by Lauren Hynek & Elizabeth Martin and Julia Miranda and produced by John Lasseter, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Bruce Anderson for Skydance Animation.
