Wish (Chris Buck/Fawn Viera-Sansone, 2023), disney plus
“When You Wish Upon a Star” is essentially a unique origin story in this traditionally styled animated musical that is part of Disney’s 100th anniversary celebrations. Ariana DeBose voices Asha, a teenager who lives in an island kingdom ruled by the magician Magnifico (Chris Pine). The deal he makes with his people is to remove their wishes and then allow them to forget them and continue living a simple life. Sometimes he grants wishes, but it’s on his terms. Asha objects to this and makes a wish on a star. The star comes to Earth to wreak magical havoc and release people’s dreams. Simon Wardell
