Disney’s “Godmothered” is coming to Disney+ just in time for the holiday season. This part fantasy, part family comedy comes from director Sharon Maguire best known for her “Bridget Jones” movies. Disney was kind enough to provide me with a screener around the same time as its new trailer dropped. At first glance I can see the film appealing to some audiences more than others. And for better or worse it’s hard to miss the similarities to “Elf”. Tell me if you agree.
In a world fittingly known as The Motherland Jillian Bell plays Eleanor, a fairy godmother-in-training who learns that her beloved profession is on the outs. Determined to prove that the world still needs fairy godmothers, Eleanor targets a cynical single mother (played by Isla Fisher) whose hardened shell could prove to be tough to crack. It’s an undeniably sweet concept and I’m always up for a little Christmas cheer. We’ll see where this one lands.
“Godmothered” premieres December 4th exclusively on Disney+. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

What a festive premise
Indeed.
This looks charming. Plus, it’s good to see Jillian Bell in something light-hearted.
Actually just watched it. Still under embargo. More on it soon.
Dear God no. I couldn’t even watch the trailer. 😳😊
You Scrooge! 🤣
I do not entertain ‘Christmas Movies’ nor ‘Christmas Albums’. Commercial twaddle. Though I will be seeing Fatman 🤣
Really? Oh we love Christmas movies. Have several on our yearly watch list.
That’s nice!
Looks cute. Kind of reminds of Enchanted.
I can see that.
