Walt Disney Animation Studios is celebrating 100 years of delivering spell-binding animated movies with unique storytelling to audiences young and old around the world, adapting and creating original fairy tales that are all about making wishes come true. What better way to celebrate that century-long message than to create a new movie aptly named Wish.
Wish dives into the origins of the bright star in the night sky that has been present in almost every Disney movie, there to grant the wishes and desires of the characters who speak to it. The lore of the star goes even deeper than that, however. Here’s everything we know so far about Wish, including its release date and most recent trailer.

•Wish Release Date
Wish is set to release in theaters on November 22, 2023 – just in time for Thanksgiving. Development on the film started in 2018, with the animation style originally intended to be in traditional 2D as a way to honor Disney’s roots in hand-drawn animation.

As Wish executive producer/writer Jennifer Lee explained to IGN back in September, “What happens in hand-drawn is that you have the incredible hand of the artist, but also limitations in what you could do on screen. What happened in CG is you'd have incredible, boundless opportunities, visually, that elevated it — even to the point for some — into realism, which is not what we wanted to do. The more important thing to us was to have a way to find technology that can do everything. Connect to the true vision of the artist, but bring in technology that could finally take away limitations.”
During the 2022 D23 Expo, Ariana DeBose (Hamilton, West Side Story) and Alan Tudyk (Wreck-It Ralph, Frozen, Zootopia) were announced to have been cast as Asha and Valentino, respectively. Asha is a 17-year-old girl who makes a wish to the stars after sensing a darkness in the kingdom that is oblivious to everyone else, and Valentino is Asha’s pet g...

The initial marketing for Wish revolves around the origins of the star that has been present in most Disney movies for the last 100 years. The story of Wish goes even deeper than that.
Wish takes place in the Kingdom of Rosas off the Iberian Peninsula between 1200 and 1300, where Asha senses something off about King Magnifico, who has the power to take and grant wishes – even though he does more of the former than the latter. When Asha makes a passionate wish to the stars in the night sky in a time of great need, an actual star named Star falls from the sky and answers Asha’s wish. Together, they team up to face King Magnifico and fight for a better future in the kingdom.
