Wish (2023)

Wish (2023) feels like a love letter to everything Disney has built over the last 100 years. With its magical setting, catchy songs, and talking star (yes, a literal star!), it brings back the classic fairytale vibes but with a modern twist.

The story follows Asha, a kind-hearted and brave young woman who dares to question the powerful King Magnifico—a ruler who controls everyone’s wishes. When things get a little too suspicious, Asha makes a wish so powerful it summons Star, a magical creature that helps her fight back and inspire change.

Visually, the film blends hand-drawn and 3D animation beautifully—it’s a feast for the eyes. And the music? Total earworms. You’ll definitely be singing along.

But while Wish is magical and sweet, some moments feel a bit rushed or too on-the-nose. Still, the message about hope, self-belief, and the power of one voice is heartwarming and very needed.

It’s not the most groundbreaking Disney film, but it’s full of heart, sparkle, and just the right amount of nostalgia. If you’ve ever made a wish on a star, this movie will hit you right in the feels. 💫
