Nicole Kidman Stars in Netflix's 'Spellbound': A Musical Fantasy with a Dark Twist

"Spellbound," an animated fantasy musical on Netflix, features Rachel Zegler as Ellian, a teenage princess on a quest to reverse a curse that turned her parents into monsters. Directed by Vicky Jenson and produced by Skydance Animation, the film offers vivid animation and emotional depth, though it evokes a sense of déjà vu with its familiar themes reminiscent of "Brave" and "Spirited Away." Despite some predictable elements, the film's emotional third act and strong performances, including those by Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem, provide a compelling narrative.
