Walt Disney Animation Studios soars to new heights with their latest film, Wish, which celebrates their 100th anniversary. Oscar winner Ariana DeBose lends her rich voice to Asha, who lives in the kingdom of Rosas. It’s an inclusive place where everyone is welcome. She wants nothing more than to be hired as an apprentice under their leader King Magnifico. He’s a sorcerer who holds everyone’s wishes in the castle and grants them at a wishing ceremony. During her interview, Asha realizes that Magnifico is not the almighty leader she was led to believe as he’s secretly holding wishes hostage only granting the ones he deems worthy. This sad reality directly affects her grandfather’s 100th birthday. Asha wishes upon a star to help the people and take their wishes back so they can be properly granted. In theaters
