Bette Midler is officially set to voice the Fairy Godmother in the upcoming Netflix animated feature film Steps, expanding her vocal work while fans continue to fixate on her return to live-action franchises.
Meanwhile, Rachel Hollis used her show, Pop Culture Commentary and Self-Care Strategies, to confirm that Bette Midler is returning for Hocus Pocus 3. "Disney confirmed Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy are returning for a third installment. This is obviously amazing for us."
Despite the excitement, Rachel Hollis offered a reality check on the franchise’s recent trajectory. She admitted, "I did not love Hocus Pocus 2. I probably put too much pressure on it." Whether the magic of Bette Midler can overcome these franchise fatigue concerns remains the primary question for listeners.
