You can also check out the official synopsis and new poster for the film:
“Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Wish” is an all-new musical-comedy welcoming audiences to the magical kingdom of Rosas, where Asha, a sharp-witted idealist, makes a wish so powerful that it is answered by a cosmic force—a little ball of boundless energy called Star. Together, Asha and Star confront a most formidable foe—the ruler of Rosas, King Magnifico—to save her community and prove that when the will of one courageous human connects with the magic of the stars, wondrous things can happen.”
In addition, the studio shared the complete list of actors who will lend their voices to the colorful characters that will accompany the already announced protagonists: Angelique Cabral as Queen Amaya; Victor Garber as Asha’s grandfather, Sabino; Natasha Rothwell as Asha’s mom, Sakina; Jennifer Kumiyama as Asha’s friend, Dahlia; Evan Peters as Simon; Harvey Guillén as Gabo; Ramy Youseff as Safi; Niko Vargas as Asha’s friend, Hal; Della Saba as Bazeema; and Jon Rudnitsky as Dario.
Wish Is Full of Disney Easter Eggs
Wish is not just another title in the long filmography of the House of Mouse. Directed by Chris Buck and Fawn Veerasunthorn, the film was planned as a grand tribute to the studio’s legacy and all the magical stories they have released throughout their 100 years of existence.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Buck and Veerasunthorn confessed that not even they are able to count how many references to past Disney projects were included in Wish:
“They’re all over the movie. We are compiling a list, and I couldn’t tell you how long it is now. Each department puts things in and there’s some that we don’t even know are there yet, and we may not know until they tell us.”
In fact, the story was inspired by an element that appears in one of the studio’s oldest films, Pinocchio, the famous wishing star. This is because Wish was intended as an adventure that true Disney fans would enjoy like no one else, something the directors made very clear:
“We wanted to make a movie that celebrates the joy of Disney and make a movie for the fans. It’s a hundred years. The Disney audience has kept us going and kept this studio going, and so there’s so much of that.”
Wish is scheduled to be theatrically released in the United States on November 22, 2023.
