FROM THE DIRECTOR, VICKY JENSON:

Mythology and fairytales have always been part of my life and upbringing. My father, the son of immigrant Romanian parents, was an aspiring writer and my mother, raised in Costa Rica by literary parents, taught us to love the arts and old family ghost stories. Storytelling runs deep in our families!

So, when I was pitched the basic story of Spellbound, I recognized immediately the unusual yet universal heart that was already beating inside the concept. The original story, while powerful, wore it all on its sleeve, but it was when we found our allegory that the story started to sing. And as the old theater saying goes: “When feelings are too big to express in words, one sings!” It was then that composer Alan Menken and lyricist Glenn Slater joined the team and gave the movie its soul.

Spellbound is about what it is that really makes a family. Like any timeless myth or lasting fairytale, I believe the meaning reaches even further than the specifics of this family’s dynamic. It speaks to kids and their parents and the kinds of alienation that can happen between them as well as the steps we have to take toward each other, how we can weather it together, to come through to the other side with better understanding.
