Walt Disney Animation Studios just released the first trailer for its upcoming kids’ movie, “Hexed,” and it’s already getting attention.
Jenn Nizza, a former psychic who abandoned the occult after coming to faith in Jesus, described the film as “really disturbing,” arguing in an interview with CBN News that Disney is presenting witchcraft — necromancy, as it’s called in Scripture — “in a really beautiful way.”
“[It] makes me think of Satan masquerading as an angel of light — and that’s really disturbing,” she said.
The movie, releasing in theaters Nov. 25, tells the story of a young teenage girl named Billie, an outcast struggling to fit in. She soon discovers she has magical powers and enters a world called Hexe, where she learns more about witchcraft, spells, and how to channel her supernatural abilities.

While the film seems to suggest there is witchcraft that is morally good, Nizza explains that’s not the case, pointing to biblical admonitions against such practices.
In Deuteronomy 18:10-14 (NLT), it says:
Do not let your people practice fortune-telling, or use sorcery, or interpret omens, or engage in witchcraft, or cast spells, or function as mediums or psychics, or call forth the spirits of the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD. It is because the other nations have done these detestable things that the LORD your God will drive them out ahead of you. But you must be blameless before the LORD your God. The nations you are about to displace consult sorcerers and fortune-tellers, but the LORD your God forbids you to do such things.
There is no morally acceptable witchcraft in God’s sight, according to Scripture.
Although some might argue movies like “Hexed” are just entertainment, Nizza said such films are problematic.
“It’s so important to disregard the aesthetic, because it’s the same evil and it’s the same author of these practices: the devil,” she said, later adding, “This isn’t just a movie. This is implanting and brainwashing the demonic agenda into your minds and into the minds of your children.”
