Hocus Pocus 2 Featured on the Cover of Disneys Twenty-Three Magazine

Disney has revealed the cover for its popular Twenty-Three magazine. Twenty-Three is a premium one-year subscription with an exclusive 4 issues to D23 Gold Members filled with dazzling illustrations, photography, and insider info.

Here is an overview from Disney:

After Hocus Pocus arrived in theaters in the summer of 1993, the film developed a massive following, and in the ensuing years, its stars would sometimes hint to eager fans that a sequel was a possibility. That possibility has become a reality with Hocus Pocus 2 debuting on Disney+ September 30, and no one is more excited than the film’s original trio of spirited sorceresses: Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy. “Kathy, especially, acted as the keeper of the Black Flame Candle, forgive my pun,” Midler says when speaking exclusively to Disney twenty-three. “She was adamant about what the fans would and wouldn’t accept, and we sort of followed her lead.” The stars and creative team break down the magic in store for viewers this fall, and the spellbinding cover was created exclusively for the publication.
