Disney's Wish

Post by Daniel »

Walt Disney Animation Studios revealed a FIRST LOOK at “Wish,” their all-new animated feature film that explores how the iconic wishing star came to be.

Starring Ariana DeBose as Asha, directed by Chris Buck & Fawn Veerasunthorn, produced by Peter Del Vecho & Juan Pablo Reyes, and featuring all-new songs by Julia Michaels, Disney's Wish releases in November 2023.

I have a distinct feeling this was somehow proposed along with the Cruise Line's ship opening, but I may need more convincing proof..

I'm really glad they at least revealed the character design and we don't have to wait until two months before the film is released, hoping there's some merchandise leak and we get to know the characters through some ugly toys.

And no one is mentioning that this will have "watercolour style animation blended with CG"…!?

As far as I heard from people who were there, the style is similar to Into the Spider-Verse. It'll be interesting to see the final result.

The song itself was fine, I kept waiting for an emotional height but it never came.

The premise:
Wish centers on Asha (DeBose), a 17-year-old who sees a darkness in her kingdom that no one else does, so in a moment of desperation, she makes a passioned plea to the stars. The answer to Asha’s wish is an actual star that falls from the sky to help on her journey.
It's more of the same, it really depends on the execution, but I can tell that this is more to my taste than something like Strange World, or anything that came after Moana. We'll have to wait and see, but so far it has my interest.

What excites me is that this is the big 100th anniversary release, with numerous Easter eggs in it. Should be fun.

Yeah, was gonna mention the whole watercolor angle but there was so much news! I was like ack! :lol:

Definitely like the sound of that. Reminds me of the early days of Rapunzel.

Rumor:
Grace Randolph wrote:I hear #ChrisPine is the villain in #Disney’s #Wish later this year!

And we get to hear him sing again!

More Chris Pine is always 🔥❤️

I hear the movie is great! Classic animation style, LOTS of songs!
Could be interesting.
