Ariana DeBose, Chris Pine, and Alan Tudyk star in the animated musical releasing in November.
The Big Picture This November, Disney is bringing the magic back to theaters with the release of its latest animated feature Wish. The musical film centers on Asha , a young woman who makes a powerful wish answered by a cosmic being called Star. However, King Magnifico poses a great threat to Asha and her community. So, she and Star work together to stop him.
During an interview with Collider's Christina Radish, Buck and Veerasunthorn agreed that they can't wait for audiences to meet Star, one of the core characters in Wish. So far, much of what audiences know about Star is that it is exactly what the name entails, with a dash of Disney magic, of course. However, Star is an integral part of Asha's story in the feature with even more to come.
"As we whittled down the design down to this very simple design, which is the essence of animation, it’s basically a bouncing ball. And then, there’s the nod to Mickey with the mask around Star’s face. There are a lot of great, wonderful nods to legacy, with Star itself. Star doesn’t speak, so there’s great pantomime that our animators would do. People will see what they wanna see in Star sometimes, because Star is only pantomime. I think people will embrace Star and make Star their own.
Star Won't Be the Only 'Wish' Scene Stealer Though Star is already a promising addition to the Disney repertoire, Veerasunthorn shared that another character she holds dear is Sabino, a 100-year-old man. To start, Sabino's age is significant in and of itself as Disney celebrates its centennial anniversary this year.
"For it being a centennial film, I thought there was a lot of interesting nuance within that character. He’s someone who has lived a full life but decided to give his wish away and not remember it for such a long time. I think that speaks to a lot of people where life gets in the way and sometimes you forget, or you are too afraid to pursue it. I’m excited for people to see his story in this film.
