Disney’s New Anime ‘Twisted-Wonderland: The Animation’ Sets October Release Date on Disney+.
Disney is bringing a new animated series to its streaming service, but it’s not quite what you’d expect. Twisted-Wonderland: The Animation, based on the popular Japanese mobile game, is premiering on Disney+ on October 29. The show is set in the magical world of Twisted Wonderland, a realm inspired by seven of Disney’s most iconic villains: the Queen of Hearts, Scar, Ursula, Jafar, the Evil Queen, Hades, and Maleficent. These “Great Seven” have their acts immortalized in seven magical dormitories at the Night Raven College, an elite academy for mages.
Not much has been announced or released in the US market, so finding information has been a challenge. We hope this changes as the premiere date gets closer. The US anime market has never been bigger, with new movies like Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle breaking box office records, and the upcoming Chainsaw Man seemingly having the same demand.
High school student Yu is suddenly transported to Twisted-Wonderland, a world of magic and wonder. Now, he must face monsters, whimsical magicians-in-training, and mysterious incidents, all without any magic of his own. Will Yu ever find a way back to his own world?
A teaser trailer for the animated series reveals the show is set in a magical school called Night Raven College, a prestigious arcane academy for talented students from all over the world. The trailer introduces a protagonist who seems to have stumbled into this magical world despite not being able to use magic himself.
He is met with a mixed reaction from the school’s students, some of whom challenge his presence. The video also features various characters and scenes, hinting at a conflict related to a “solemn entrance ceremony.” The series is described as featuring Disney Villains in new forms.
