Today, 24th November, Disney unveiled the new animated film “Wish” as part of the 100 year celebration!
“Wish” follows a girl named Asha (Ariana DeBose) who lives with her mother and grandfather. They live in a kingdom named Rosas that was founded by King Magnifico (Chris Pine), and his wife Queen Amaya (Angelique Cabral). Those who live on this kingdom hand their wish over to King Magnifico for safe keeping. Every so often, the King will grant someone their wish. Asha soon discovers that not all wishes get granted. Unfortunately, once you have given up your wish, you instantly forget it. Once Asha discovers this, she tries to convince King Magnifico to give back the wishes that will never be granted – including her grandfather’s who is about to turn 100 years old. She wishes on a star and all hell breaks loose. With the help of her friends, her pet goat Valentino, and the star that she wished upon, they are determined to change the king’s mind, and get back the wishes that he took.
If you are a Disney lover, then this film is bound to pull on some heartstrings. To help celebrate the 100 years of Disney, the creators of this film have hidden over 100 easter eggs that reference other Disney films over the years. Some are obvious, others are far more hidden. If you are a hardcore Disney fan, this will make the viewing experience even more fun. On top of that, the music is highly catchy. You will want to return home immediately after watching JUST so you can listen to the soundtrack on repeat.
Overall, the film is wonderfully magical. It will inspire you to make your own wishes come true. Like most Disney films, it will warm your heart. Tearing up slightly is likely however, in a nostalgic way. Your inner child will feel comforted – something we all need every now and then.
“Wish” is now out in cinemas and we highly recommend you give it a watch. With all the violence going on the world, it is the perfect film to switch off too!
