Disney’s Hexed has taken over AMC Disney Springs 24 at Walt Disney World ahead of the movie’s release in theaters on Wednesday, November 25. We stopped by and found a giant Hexed banner over the entrance, a lobby standee and a photo op outside, and AMC’s Hexed cauldron popcorn bucket is coming for opening day.
The biggest piece hangs right under the AMC sign. Billie, in her red hooded shawl, stands under a crescent moon with a bubbling green cauldron, a book of spells and Beef Roger floating above her with a drink in his paw. Two tall banners hang on the pillars on each side of the doors, Billie on the left and Beef Roger sitting in a cauldron on the right, and all three point fans to Dolby Cinema and RealD 3D showings.
Inside the lobby, a large standee shaped like a full moon has Billie floating off the left side, mid-spell, with Beef Roger grinning from his cauldron in the bottom corner. Outside near Jaleo, there is a free photo op with the full poster art as a backdrop, a matching floor graphic and red velvet ropes, so it is easy to grab a family picture while you walk the West Side.
Hexed is an original Walt Disney Animation Studios movie, rated PG, directed by Josie Trinidad and Moana 2 co-director Jason Hand. Hailee Steinfeld voices Billie, a teen who discovers she has magical powers that pull her into the witch realm of Hexe, and Rashida Jones voices her cautious mom, Alice. Walton Goggins plays Beef Roger Crummchuk, the three-eyed cat, and Jodie Foster plays Queen Celeste, with Henry Winkler, Dan Stevens, Tracey Ullman and Stephen Fry also in the cast. Tickets went on sale October 20.
The popcorn bucket is the same one you see in the poster art. AMC’s Hexed “Bucket” popcorn bucket is a black three-legged witch’s cauldron with two ring handles and the Hexed logo, and it comes with popcorn. Bucket is also a character in the movie, which is why Regal’s drink toppers come in Billie, Bucket and Beef Roger. AMC has not posted a price yet.
