Check out the new trailer, plus a poster and new image for Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Wish,” which opens exclusively in theaters on Nov. 22. The trailer introduces 17-year-old Asha, the powerful King Magnifico, Asha’s pet goat Valentino, and Star, a celestial ball of boundless energy that Asha’s wish calls down from the sky. It also features a snippet of the song “This Wish,” performed by Ariana DeBose; it’s one of several new songs written by Julia Michaels and Benjamin Rice for the film.
The all-new musical-comedy welcomes audiences to Rosas, a fantastical land located off the Iberian Peninsula. “Our heroine, Asha, lives in Rosas, known as the kingdom of wishes,” said director Chris Buck, who helms the film with Fawn Veerasunthorn. “People come from everywhere to give their wishes to a magical king who promises to grant their deepest desires—someday. Only he can decide which wishes will come true and when.”
Added Veerasunthorn, “We have been inspired by so many iconic films over Disney Animation’s 100 years, especially stories where we explore the power of someone with a wish, combined with the conviction to make that wish come true. Being able to honor that legacy with this incredible story and these amazing characters has been a joy for our entire team.”
ABOUT THE MOVIE
In “Wish,” 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. Featuring the voices of Academy Award®-winning actor Ariana DeBose as Asha, Chris Pine as Magnifico, and Alan Tudyk as Asha’s favorite goat, Valentino, the film is helmed by Oscar®-winning director Chris Buck (“Frozen,” “Frozen 2”) and Fawn Veerasunthorn (“Raya and the Last Dragon”), produced by Peter Del Vecho (“Frozen,” “Frozen 2”) and co-produced by Juan Pablo Reyes (“Encanto”). Jennifer Lee (“Frozen,” “Frozen 2”) executive produces—Lee and Allison Moore (“Night Sky,” “Manhunt”) are writers on the project. With original songs by Grammy®-nominated singer/songwriter Julia Michaels and Grammy-winning producer/songwriter/musician Benjamin Rice, plus score by composer Dave Metzger, “Wish” opens only in theaters on Nov. 22, 2023.

An actual villain? finally
The voice for the main antagonist switched from “Narrator” to “Villain” amazingly quickly. Not to mention how beautiful the animation looks.
THIS is the kind of movie Disney needs to put all their time, effort, and money into. This is what they do best. Nobody wants Disney for their live action remakes. Movies like this with phenomenal acting, animation, music, and heart is what everyone wants
Why is Disney not pushing this? I literally just found out about this 4 MONTHS after the trailer came out. This looks amazing and we are finally getting an actual villain!
I love this artstyle. They are finally going back to a less realistic style, but that gives them so many more amazing ways to express themselves. It looks absolutely stunning!
Ok I’m going to see this 100%
The visuals look unique and nice but I’ll be way more likely to buy tickets to future Disney movies if they start making 2D animated films again.
i wish disney would start marketing asha as a disney princess because she deserves to be one
I love that the whole thing looks like a stageplay- with the foreground being real and the background looking like it's painted on a canvas.
So is anyone gonna talk about how many hispanic princesses we gotten this year no hate but there are other ethinicty's bro frr
Scrolling through the comments makes me worried. I can’t find one saying this plot is horrible. Does everyone really think all wishes should be granted?
Can't believe a Disney Princess has my mum's name 😢❤
Ain’t no way, Disney actually making something original and remotely similar to what we loved back in the “old days”?! Am I dreaming? Is this heaven?!
It’s interesting how it sounds like the trailer is being narrated, only to find out that the antagonist is actually talking to the viewer (or the protagonist). It’s an excellent redirect. I can’t wait to watch this film. Disney is at their best when making fairy tales.
This seems good. I wish it’s real good.
Oh boy more ambiguously brown, dark-haired protagonists. Call me racist if you want, I can't even tell what race any of Disney's characters are supposed to be at this point.
Now this is the Disney that I want! It brought back feels, what Disney use to be. I’m so excited
Where is the advertising for this movie. Only one trailer has dropped, I've seen zero promotion for this wonderful looking movie and It drops in less than 2 months. Disney??
This is what we've been waiting for. An original story, an actual villain, 2D/3D animation, stylization, centered around wishing and dreaming, and of course the talking animal sidekick. Feels like a return to classic Disney and I'm here for it!
Welllll everyone saying “I’m not racist I just think they should make original characters that aren’t white instead of changing the race of existing white characters” this is the movie for you!!! I hope you support it like you claimed you would 😁
