‘Hexed’: Disney Thanksgiving Animated Pic Adds Jodie Foster & Walton Goggins – D23

It was announced at D23 tonight that Jodie Foster and Walton Goggins are joining the voice cast of Walt Disney Animation’s Hexed.

The Oscar winner, who began her career at Disney in Candleshoe and Freaky Friday, said “I have never voiced a character in a Disney film until now.” She is playing Queen Celeste, the main baddie witch in the pic.

“What kind of part would a guy like me play?,” the Justified Goggins told the filled Honda Centre. It turns out that Goggins is playing a three-eyed green cat who dons a pink coat, Beef Roger, who is a witch’s sidekick. He winds up befriending Hailee Steinfeld’s young teen protagonist who has witch powers. She fends off against a gaggle of witches.

The movie has the prized Disney Thanksgiving box office opening slot, dated on Wednesday, Nov 25.

The Jason Hand-Josie Trinidad-Fawn Veerasunthorn directed movie follows an awkward teen and her Type-A mother learn her peculiarities might be magical powers, transforming their lives and revealing a hidden magical realm.

The voiceover cast includes Hailee Steinfeld, Alan Tudyk, Rashida Jones, Stephen Fry, CeeLo Green and Tracey Ullman.
