Disney animation chief Jared Bush disclosed that a breakthrough in the storyline of the upcoming film Hexed came after a conversation with famed video‑game creator Hideo Kojima. Bush, who co‑wrote the movie, said on Twitter that a difficult plot point was resolved by applying an approach Kojima used in Death Stranding 2, noting “Games are cinema.” The film, starring Hailee Steinfeld as a novice witch alongside Rashida Jones, Jodie Foster, Walton Goggins, Henry Winkler and Dan Stevens, is Disney Animation’s first original IP since 2023’s Wish and follows the studio’s recent successes with Moana 2 and Zootopia 2. Hexed is slated for theatrical release on November 25.
