D23, the Disney-backed convention in Anaheim, kicked off its first big panel of the day with new trailers for Hocus Pocus 2 and Disenchanted Friday.

Hocus Pocus 2 brings back Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy as the Sanderson sisters and takes place 29 years after the 1993 film. Sam Richardson, Doug Jones, Hannah Waddingham, Froyan Gutierrez and Tony Hale are also among the cast. Though the stars were not onhand for D23, they did send a video intro to the crowd.

The sequel follows three young women who accidentally bring the Sanderson Sisters back to modern-day Salem and who must team up to stop the witches and save their town. Kenny Ortega directed the original Hocus Pocus, which became a cult classic despite not being a big box office hit. The Proposal filmmaker Anne Fletcher is directing the new installment.
