Penny Proud ruins Christmas, and now she has to fix it. Disney+ dropped the official trailer for A Proud Family Wizmas, the family’s first stop-motion holiday special, ahead of its premiere on Saturday, November 14.
The look is the big change. The Prouds have always been 2D, and seeing Oscar, Trudy, Suga Mama and the rest as handmade puppets is a lot of fun. Fans clearly agree, because Wizmas picked up more than 1,000 posts on X in the days after the trailer landed. We covered the premiere date and guest stars last month, but this is the first real look at the special in motion.
Penny In The Red Suit
In the trailer, someone asks Penny what she wants for Wizmas, and she uses the moment to call out Wizard Kelly for turning Christmas into Wizmas in the first place. That’s where the trouble starts. Her rant about Wizmas and how commercial Christmas has gotten goes over so badly that Santa quits on Christmas Eve. Guilt-tripped into fixing it, Penny ends up in the red suit herself, delivering presents to the kids of Emilyville and the rest of the world with help from Santa’s irreverent elves. Along the way she figures out the Christmas spirit is still alive. It’s a song-filled special, too, with six new original songs from returning composer Kurt Farquhar.
The Whole Family Is Back
Kyla Pratt is back as Penny, with Tommy Davidson as Oscar, Paula Jai Parker as Trudy and JoMarie Payton as Suga Mama. Cedric the Entertainer returns as Uncle Bobby, joined by Karen Malina White as Dijonay, Soleil Moon Frye as Zoey, Alisa Reyes as LaCienega, Carlos Mencia as Felix, Alvaro Gutierrez as Papi, Raquel Lee Bolleau as Nubia Gross and Melissa De Sousa as Sunset Boulevardez.
The guest list is stacked. Anderson .Paak plays a mall elf and JB Smoove plays the mall Santa. Lil Rel Howery voices Bubble, Karlous Miller is Benny, Tone Loc is Penny Loc, Earthquake is Big Mack, Luenell is Belinda and Affion Crockett is Billy. Gabrielle Union also returns as Talia Rogue.
Creator Bruce W. Smith directed the special, with Ralph Farquhar writing alongside co-director David Brooks and Portland stop-motion studio HouseSpecial. Disney Television Animation produced it.
A Proud Family Wizmas premieres November 14 on Disney+. If you want to catch up first, the original Proud Family, Louder and Prouder and The Proud Family Movie are all streaming there now.
