Spellbound is a weak attempt to recreate some Disney magic
In the movie “Spellbound”, Princess Ellian (Rachel Zegler) has an uncommon predicament. At the start of the story, she speaks directly to the audience, revealing that her kingdom is unique. Unlike other realms that are inhabited by mice or mosquitoes, hers is populated with monsters. These aren’t just any monsters, though. They were once her parents – King Solon (Javier Bardem) and Queen Ellsmere (Nicole Kidman), who were transformed into their grotesque forms following a visit to a magical forest that didn’t end well.
