Disney+ Hotstar continues to grow its anime catalogue with the highly anticipated release of Disney Twisted-Wonderland: The Animation, an anime adaptation based on the hit Japanese mobile game franchise.
Slated to premiere on October 29, 2025, this new series invites fans to enter a world where magic reigns, danger lurks, and Disney villains are revered like royalty.
The story begins when Yuken Enma, an ordinary high school student from Tokyo, is suddenly transported to an unfamiliar magical world. He finds himself at Night Raven College, a mysterious elite academy designed to train aspiring mages.
With no magic of his own and no idea how he ended up there, Yuken is thrust into a world unlike anything he’s ever known.
Villains Reimagined as Legends
What sets Twisted-Wonderland apart is its fresh, immersive approach to Disney lore. At the heart of this fantasy world lie the Great Seven — seven legendary figures inspired by some of Disney’s most iconic villains: the Queen of Hearts, Scar, Ursula, Jafar, the Evil Queen, Hades, and Maleficent.
These powerful figures are not just remembered; they are revered, with their legacies forming the foundations of seven magical dormitories within the college.
Each dormitory is themed after one of the Great Seven, adding layers of intrigue and visual flair that anime fans and Disney lovers alike will appreciate.
The lore-rich environment makes Night Raven College more than just a school — it’s a living tribute to the dark and enchanting past of Disney’s most unforgettable antagonists.
A Hero Out of His Depth
Yuken, who arrives without any magical abilities, faces immediate challenges. Not only is he unfamiliar with the customs of this world, but he also unintentionally offends several of the students.
However, he quickly finds himself allied with two mischievous classmates, Ace and Deuce, who help him navigate the bizarre world of Night Raven College.
Their adventures are filled with chaotic encounters, thrilling mysteries, and tense confrontations — especially with the rule-bound Riddle Rosehearts, dorm leader of the Heartslabyul House, inspired by the Queen of Hearts.
Yuken’s quest to find a way home becomes increasingly complicated as he is drawn deeper into the school’s magical conflicts.
