Development


On March 16, 2017, Skydance Media formed a multi-year partnership with Madrid-based animation studio Ilion Animation Studios, forming an animation division called Skydance Animation.[4] In July, it announced Split, in which Skydance Media CEO David Ellison revealed that Linda Woolverton was writing the film.[5][6] It would be distributed by Paramount Pictures as part of their deal with Skydance Media and was given a release date for sometime in 2019. Following John Lasseter's hiring as CCO of Skydance Animation, then-chief of Paramount Animation Mirielle Soria announced that Paramount Animation would end its informal work with Skydance.[7]

On April 2, 2020, composer Alan Menken revealed that he was working alongside John Lasseter on a project for the studio,[8] which was later announced to be Split, which by then was renamed to The Unbreakable Spell before it became Spellbound.[1] The film will be directed by Vicky Jenson, from a screenplay by Lauren Hyne, Elizabeth Martin and Woolverton, with songs by Menken and longtime collaborator Glenn Slater.[3] In July 2020, it was announced that Spellbound was still going to be released by Paramount Pictures without the Paramount Animation brand[9] until Apple TV+ acquired the distribution rights to it in December 2020 as part of a larger pact with Skydance Animation.[10] Apple Original Films would replace Paramount as a production company on the film, with Apple Studios distributing.


Casting


In April 2022, Rachel Zegler was cast as the lead character.[11] In June, Nicole Kidman, Javier Bardem, John Lithgow, Nathan Lane, Jenifer Lewis, André De Shields, and Jordan Fisher were added to the cast.[12]


Animation


Animation has been provided by Skydance Animation Madrid with portions of production done remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic.


Release


On March 16, 2017, it was reported that the original release was intended to be in 2019.[5] On December 16, 2020, Apple TV+ entered talks to take over the distribution rights to the films Luck and Spellbound, which it did.[13][14]


Marketing


On March 22, 2022, it has been reported that Skydance Animation has set a multi-year deal with Spin Master Entertainment to make toys based on the film.[15]
