About the film:
A heartfelt celebration of the magic of Disney, and a joyful new entry to
the studio’s animated film legacy, Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Wish will
soon be available for families to enjoy at home. Fans can enjoy a sing-along
movie version, never-before-seen bonus features and deleted scenes when the
film becomes available from all major digital retailers including Prime
Video, Apple TV, and Vudu on January 23 and on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD
March 12.
A heartwarming and magical story, Wish has been described as “Wondrous”
(Sabina Graves, Gizmodo), “Enchanting” (Kristen Lopez, The Wrap) and “more
than a film. It’s a love letter to the art of dreaming and the power of
hope” (Kevin Fenix, The Illuminerdi).
In this animated musical-comedy, Asha, a sharp-witted idealist in the
kingdom of Rosas, makes a powerful wish that’s answered by Star, a ball of
boundless energy. Soon, Asha and Star must face a formidable foe—the ruler
of Rosas—to save her community and prove that when one brave human connects
with the magic of the stars, wondrous things happen.
Voice cast:
Ariana DeBose as Asha
Chris Pine as King Magnifico
Alan Tudyk as Valentino
Angelique Cabral as Queen Amaya
Victor Garber as Sabino
My review:
This was a cute movie, albeit more one for kids. Star was very cute too, and
kind of reminded me of
Kirby the video
game character.
When people in Asha's kingdom turn 18, they're allowed to submit a wish to
King Magnifico, the ruler of Rosas (voiced by Chris Pine). It's seemingly
random on how the king picks what wishes he will fulfill—for example, Asha's
grandpa (voiced by Victor Garber), who is turning 100 that year, has not had
his wish fulfilled yet.
The king seems benevolent, at first—but we soon learn he has a dark side.
The songs in this film were rather catchy, and I enjoyed them. That being
said, I'd give this movie 3/5 stars, because although I overall liked it, I
feel like Disney has put out better movies in the last year or two (for
example,
Elemental was great) versus this one, which might explain why I didn't see a lot of promotion
for it.
