A Magical Journey into the World of Hexe
Disney’s Hexed follows Billie Doe, voiced by Hailee Steinfeld, an impulsive teenager who discovers that she possesses extraordinary magical abilities. When her powers are unexpectedly unleashed, Billie finds herself transported from her ordinary suburban life into Hexe, a vast and mysterious realm inhabited by witches.
Her adventure takes an unexpected turn when she is forced to join forces with her cautious mother, Alice, voiced by Rashida Jones. Together, they navigate a world filled with magical creatures, powerful secrets and dangerous discoveries.
As Billie begins to understand her abilities, the mother-daughter duo uncovers long-hidden family mysteries that could change the future of the witch realm forever.
Blending fantasy, humour and heartfelt storytelling, the film explores identity, family relationships and the challenges of growing up when nothing is quite what it seems.
