‘Spellbound’ Director Vicky Jenson Details Making the Animated Musical: ‘The Feelings Are So Big’
Director Vicky Jenson describes the story that attracted her to "Spellbound" and its "hero" voiced by Rachel Zegler.
Veteran director Vicky Jenson, best known as one of two helmers of Oscar winning “Shrek,” returned to the storybook world for her latest project: Skydance Animation ’s sophomore feature, the musical “ Spellbound,” which is now available on Netflix. In the story, a spell transforms the King and Queen of Lumbria (Javier Bardem and Nicole Kidman) into monsters, and their tenacious daughter Ellian, voiced by Rachel Zegler, take on the responsibly to save her family. In making the movie, Jenson also had support and input from a sort of Skydance creative brain trust that included post-Pixar animation head John Lasseter and Oscar winning directors Brad Bird (“The Incredibles} and Rich Moore (“Zootopia”).
