## Summary

Jodie Foster has taken her first voice role in a Disney animated feature, playing Queen Celeste in *Hexed*. Writer and Walt Disney Animation chief creative officer Jared Bush said the character’s nuance called for an actor of Foster’s calibre, and described her casting as “a miracle”.

Bush said Foster agreed to the role after a brief conversation because she had never done animation and thought it sounded fun. In the recording booth, she was willing to try different approaches and often asked whether a line worked; animators also incorporated her distinctive smile into Queen Celeste, bringing her likeness into the character’s design.
