Overview:Wish is a story of dreams, aspirations and the hope for a better world.
Storyline : Wish revolves around Asha (Ariana DeBose), a young woman living in the kingdom of Rosas with her mother and grandfather. Rosas is special because of its king, Magnifico (Chris Pine), and the power he wields: Whenever someone turns 18, they give their deepest, purest wish to Magnifico for safekeeping, and he grants some every so often. Asha, filled with plenty of hopes and dreams for the future, aims to become Magnifico’s apprentice and aid in this beloved ceremony. However, the idealistic girl soon realizes all is not as it seems in the palace, and Magnifico isn’t as benevolent as he appears. Asha then carries out that most sacred of all Disney phrases ,wishing on a star , and is granted the power to truly make a difference for Rosas assuming, of course, she can outwit the power-hungry king.which forms the crux of the movie
Technical Review :The new animated effort from directors Chris Buck (Frozen, Frozen 2) and Fawn Veerasunthorn, acts as both an homage to the company and a new original story is also presented in a visually beautiful screenplay.
The use of CG, the movie looks like a storybook come to life and stands out from Disney’s more recent animated offerings.
The images are strongest when centering around the individual character design.
Written by Julia Michaels and Benjamin Rice, there are several songs within the movie’s soundtrack that feel poised to become hits, from Asha’s rousing solo “This Wish” to the ensemble number “Knowing What I Know Now are melodious. Though the script do have some flaws could have been better.
Performances : Ariana DeBose delivers a standout performance as Asha, showcasing her strong vocals and embodying the hopeful and determined nature of her character.
Normally known for heroic roles like James T. Kirk and Steve Trevor, Pine seems to be having a ball as the villain, relishing each nasty line reading as Magnifico sinks deeper and deeper into his evil ways. The performance is excellent, even when the writing loses its way..
Frequent Disney voice actor Alan Tudyk gets a fun role as Valentino, Asha’s pet goat, that pays off his past performing as several non-verbal animals; once again, his vocal talents impress.
Final Words : Its a charming movie which kids can enjoy truly this weekend. Its a good stress buster with picture perfect visuals and good music as icing on the cake.
