The film comes from director Vicky Jenson, the co-director of 2001’s originalShrekmovie, who tells PEOPLE in a statement that “mythology and fairytales have always been part of my life and upbringing.”

Zegler “just brought everything and left nothing on the table” while voicing the movie’s lead role, says Jenson, who called the actress, who takes another princess role as Snow White next year, “one of a kind.”

“Spellboundis about what it is that really makes a family,” says Jenson, 64. “Like any timeless myth or lasting fairytale, I believe the meaning reaches even further than the specifics of this family’s dynamic.”

“I really hope that audiences across the world of every type of family can take away the positive message about the love of a family and what it takes to be a family, and how that bond is really unbreakable,” Jenson adds.
