‘Godmothered’ Brings Holiday Magic to Disney Plus This December

Godmothered

Disney is set to bring a little holiday magic to Disney+ next month with the premiere of Godmothered, a new Christmas comedy about a fairy godmother-in-training which will begin streaming exclusively on December 4.

 

Starring Isla Fisher (Confessions of a Shopaholic, Wedding Crashers) and Jillian Bell (Brittany Runs a Marathon, Rough Night), Godmothered will see fantasy meet reality as a fairy godmother-in-training meets a modern day single mom.

 

“Set at Christmas time, ‘Godmothered‘ is a comedy about Eleanor, a young, inexperienced fairy godmother-in-training (Jillian Bell) who upon hearing that her chosen profession is facing extinction, decides to show the world that people still need fairy godmothers. Finding a mislaid letter from a 10-year-old girl in distress, Eleanor tracks her down and discovers that the girl, Mackenzie, is now a 40-year-old single mom (Isla Fisher) working at a news station in Boston. Having lost her husband several years earlier, Mackenzie has all but given up on the idea of “Happily Ever After,” but Eleanor is bound and determined to give Mackenzie a happiness makeover, whether she likes it or not.”
