McEwen and Paradis will take on the roles of twin brothers, Squirmy and Squeaky Smee, the sons of Mr. Smee from Peter Pan.
The movie will also feature returning cast members, with Kylie Cantrall and Malia Baker reprising their roles as Red, the daughter of the Queen of Hearts, and Chloe, the daughter of Cinderella. Other actors returning include Leonardo Nam as Maddox Hatter, the son of the Mad Hatter. New faces to the franchise include Liamani Segura as Pink, Red’s sister; Brendon Tremblay as Max Hatter, Maddox’s son; Alexandro Byrd as Luis Madrigal, the son of Encanto’s Luisa Madrigal; and Kiara Romero as Hazel Hook, the daughter of Captain Hook.
Kimmy Gatewood is directing the film, with a script by co-executive producer Tamara Chestna, Dan Frey, and Ru Sommer. The movie’s executive producers include Suzanne Todd and Gary Marsh. Gatewood will also serve as co-producer, while Emilio Dosal, an Emmy-winning choreographer, is on board to handle the musical sequences.
