Disney Unveils Fresh ‘Hexed’ Footage & Surprise Theatrical Short ‘Lilo & Scratch’ With Chris Sanders
Disney showed fresh footage for Hexed at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival on Friday and premiered a surprise theatrical short reprising the beloved 2002 character Stitch in animated form.
Entitled Lilo & Scratch, it brings back Stitch and Lilo alongside a new cat character intent on eating the former’s pet fish Pudge.
Chris Sanders, who voiced Stitch in the original 2002 animation Lilo & Stitch and 2025 live action reboot, reprises his role in the short. He is joined by his 2025 live action co-star Maia Kealoha for the voice of Lilo
The short will run theatrically alongside Hexed which is slated for a November 25 release.
Friday’s session also showcased extended footage for Hexed, the tale of awkward teenager Billie and her strict single mom who discovers that she has unknown magical powers that will turn their lives upside down.
Most the clips were of early scenes in the film as Billie becomes aware of her magical powers and is then sucked into a wooded portal leading to the land of Hexe, where she is welcomed into the fantasy land by Ms. Quill and Elias Quire, voiced by Tracey Ullman and Stephen Fry respectively.
