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).

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.

Review: Polar Pizza at Baskin-Robbins

*Disclosure: I received a gift card to try the new Polar Pizza at Baskin-Robbins. The opinions expressed here, however, are my own. Baskin-Robbins launched its Polar Pizza last month (July), as I talked about in my recent post about them, and because this past month was crazy busy for me, I didn't get to try the Polar Pizza until this past Sunday. My parents and I went to the combined Dunkin' Donuts / Baskin-Robbins near them, in Novi, MI, to split one of the ice cream pizzas.
