“Wish” Teaser Trailer
The trailer will introduce us to 17-year-old Asha, voiced by Ariana DeBose, and her pet goat Valentino, voiced by Alan Tudyk. Chris Pine voices the villain King Magnifico, who starts the teaser by asking viewers to “Imagine a place where wishes come true.” When Asha makes a wish, she meets a glowing ball of light called Star. The film takes place in Rosas, a “fantastical land” off the Iberian Peninsula. It brings the world to life using a mix of 2D and 3D animation.

Disney’s “Wish”
“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.”
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.
