(Video) 'Twisted Wonderland: The Animation' Premiering On Disney+ Hotstar This October
TWST fans, it's finally here! After years of speculation, fan theories, and anticipation, 'Disney Twisted-Wonderland' (TWST) is officially making its anime debut. The beloved characters of Night Raven College are stepping out of the game and onto the screen in 'Disney Twisted-Wonderland: The Animation', exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar. Based on the hit mobile game and inspired by Disney's most iconic villains, TWST has captured hearts worldwide with its dark fantasy setting, charismatic cast, and layered storytelling. At the centre is Yuken Enma, a seemingly ordinary student suddenly transported to a world where nothing makes sense — and magic reigns supreme. With its blend of classic Disney villainy and anime flair, the series promises to reintroduce the story in a bold, cinematic way. Fans can also expect a visually dazzling production, thanks to the combined efforts of Yumeta Company and Graphinica. Known for their expressive animation and attention to detail, the studios aim to bring every dorm, spell, and stare-down to life with style. From the gothic grandeur of the school grounds to the unique aesthetics of each dormitory, the anime remains faithful to the game's iconic look while elevating it for the screen. As Yuken navigates this strange and chaotic new environment, he'll find himself constantly pulled into adventures alongside eccentric classmates like Ace and Deuce, and confront powerful figures like Riddle Rosehearts. While the full scope of the story remains under wraps, viewers can anticipate humour, conflict, and character-driven drama as the series adds new depth to familiar faces. With striking visuals, memorable personalities, and a mystery-filled narrative, this anime is shaping up to be far more than a simple adaptation — it's a full immersion into the world fans already love. Whether you've been there since launch or are just arriving at the gates, there's never been a better time to enter this realm where every dorm hides secrets and no one is quite what they seem. "Paradise" Season 1 Review: The Secrets Run Deep Beneath The Surface In This Dystopian Mystery Thriller Mark your calendars for 29th October, when the magic begins exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar. As anticipation builds and Disney continues expanding its anime slate, 'Twisted Wonderland' stands ready to lead the charge — in true villainous fashion.

Twisted Wonderland: Disney+ anime adaptation release date, plot and more
Disney+ has locked in October 29 as the premiere date for Twisted Wonderland: The Animation, its upcoming anime series inspired by the hit mobile game of the same name. According to Deadline, Twisted Wonderland is not a typical Disney fairy tale. It flips the script by focusing on villains rather than heroes. The original game, co-created by Aniplex and Walt Disney Japan, first launched in Japan back in 2020. Since then, it has racked up more than 4.8 million downloads and expanded into manga, novels, and a whole line of merchandise.

The anime follows a Tokyo high schooler named Yuken Enma who, in true fantasy fashion, gets pulled into a mysterious, magical world. His destination? Night Raven College - an elite academy where the students aren't exactly friendly and the rules are unlike anything back home. A world where Disney villains reign supreme Night Raven College is not just any school, per the outlet. Its seven dormitories are each inspired by legendary Disney villains - dubbed the 'Great Seven.' Fans will spot nods to the Queen of Hearts, Scar, Ursula, Jafar, the Evil Queen, Hades, and Maleficent throughout the series. But Yuken's not exactly thrilled to be there. Unlike his classmates, he can't use magic. He does not know the customs. And, frankly, he does not even want to stay. His one goal? Find a way home. Still, escaping is easier said than done. Yuken quickly gets entangled in the chaos caused by Ace and Deuce, two students who seem to have a knack for trouble. On top of that, he's got to stay out of the crosshairs of Riddle Rosehearts - the tyrannical head of Heartslabyul dorm who does not take kindly to rule-breakers.

Looking ahead, the platform also plans to roll out an anime adaptation of Cat's Eye, the classic tale of three sisters leading double lives as café owners by day and cat burglars by night. For now, all eyes are on October 29, when Twisted Wonderland: The Animation will finally hit screens and bring Disney's darker side to life.

This teaser gives us a quick taste of what's to come, including a montage of stylized visuals, character reveals, and the game's original theme song. The anime is produced by Yumeta Company and Graphinica, with Takahiro Natori ( Tokyo Mew Mew New ) as chief director and Shin Katagai ( The Ossan Newbie Adventurer, Became Invincible ) directing.
