Wish

Wishes are powerful—and sharing them with others can help them come true.

Such is the message of Wish, the latest musical comedy from Walt Disney Animation Studios. Wishes are stock in trade for Disney, with songs about how “a dream is a wish your heart makes” and, of course, “when you wish upon a star, your dreams come true.” So centering a story about a kingdom of wishes seems very on-brand. Wish is tough to dislike. Lively and charming, Wish is a sweet cocktail of catchy songs, amusing humor, and especially stellar voice performances from Oscar-winner Ariana DeBose, Alan Tudyk, and Chris Pine. Who knew the onetime Captain Kirk could sing?
