Wish is Disney’s latest animated film that delves into the origins of one of the studio’s most iconic characters – the magical wishing star.
Just kidding – sort of. The film definitely draws inspiration from the whole wish upon a star theme that spans multiple films. It takes place in a kingdom where a young heroine named Asha wishes for a star that asks for guidance. Lo and behold, similar to Neil Gaiman Stardusta star (named Star) crashes into the kingdom of Rosas to help Asha.
Wish is created in a new style that seems to combine watercolor elements with 3D animation. It will be a musical with songs by Julia Michaels. Asha is voiced by Anita DeBose who played Anita in 2021 Westside Storywhile Disney veteran Alan Tudyk – known for voicing a plethora of animal pals, like Moana‘s Hey-Hey-Duck Raya and the last dragon‘s Tuk Tuk – will continue his legacy as a goat named Valentino. And apparently the movie will have one a lot of Disney Easter Eggs, if that’s your thing.
The film is directed Frozen Director Chris Buck and Raya and the last dragon Story artist Fawn Veerasunthorn. Wish is scheduled for release in November 2023.
