Netflix has just dropped the first trailer for their delightful new animated blockbuster Spellbound.
Set to premiere on the streaming giant on November 22, the charming fantasy comedy musical features the voices of Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem.
Created by some of the filmmaking talents behind beloved family favourites including Toy Story, Cars, A Bug's Life and Shrek, the movie also features West Side Story star Rachel Zegler.
And just like those classics, Spellbound promises to be a life riot for the whole family.
Set in a 'magicial' world known as Lumbria, the story centres on a teenage princess, Ellian (voiced by Rachel Zegler).
After her parents Queen Ellsmere (voiced by Nicole Kidman) and King Solon (voiced by Javier Bardem) are turned into monsters by a 'magic spell', Ellian must find a way to save them and their kingdom from ruin.
The first look trailer shows that fans can look forward to plenty of fun as Ellian heads off on her adventure.
The teaser starts off with the young princess explaining to two elders in the royal palace that she is 'having a problem' with her parents.

She then explains: 'They went into the Dark Forest and when they came back they were different..'
After the King and Queen emerge as giant sized monsters and start terrorising everyone in sight, one of the elders complains to Ellian: 'I thought you were just being dramatic.'
'Why would I do that?, replies Ellian. 'Because you're a teenager,' he says.
Other spectacular scenes feature the King and Queen being rounded up by the army and captured.
Meanwhile, Ellian engineers an escape for her parents.
Together, the family take off on an adventure across the kingdom to break the spell so the King and Queen can return to human form.
Also featured in the cast are John Lithgow (The Crown), Nathan Lane (The Gilded Age), Jenifer Lewis (Rugrats) and Central Park star Titus Burgess.
Spellbound is directed by Shrek filmmaker Vicky Jenson and produced by John Lasseter, director the much loved animated classic Toy Story (1995).
Co-producers include David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Bruce Anderson.
Rachel Zegler, 23, is set to star in Disney's 'woke' Snow White remake.
The ingénue became a target for online criticism and hate after she was cast in the new version of the classic and began slamming the original film in press interviews.

The young actress revealed she 'hated' Disney's original 1937 classic and its 'stalker' Prince - whose 'weird' storyline won't feature in the new movie - in a series of interviews that have sparked anger on social media.
She has also said that her film would be going in a new direction, stating: 'She's not going to be saved by the prince and she's not going to be dreaming about true love.'

Zegler has been slammed from both sides for both perpetuating 'woke' culture and for being a 'fake' feminist.
She was also criticized by haters for playing Snow White as a Latina. Both she and Disney addressed this backlash and defended the decision.
The American actress, from New Jersey, starred in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes and the disaster comedy Y2K.
