Hexed (2026)

Hexed, released as the animated feature Magic Realm (Mo Fa Mi Jing) in China, is a 2026 Disney Animation production directed by Fawn Veerasunthorn, Jason Hand, and Josie Trinidad. The film stars Hailee Steinfeld and Rashida Jones in voice roles, alongside Walton Goggins and Tracy Ellis Ross. It follows an awkward teenager whose strange behaviors are revealed to be hidden magical gifts, which suddenly awaken and transport him and his high-strung mother into Hexe, a chaotic realm where magic flows freely. This discovery upends their lives and threatens the established order of the magical world.

The narrative centers on the protagonist Billy, a girl who feels out of place in her suburban environment until her dormant powers activate. Her mother, Alice, reveals a long-kept family secret regarding their lineage to avoid Billy's power spiraling out of control. Together, they embark on a journey that uncovers dusty family histories while exploring themes of growing up, letting go of protective arrangements, and finding new positions within familial relationships. The film blends fantasy adventure with grounded emotional stakes, featuring Oscar winner Jodie Foster as Queen Celeste, the ruler of Hexe.
