Wish will follow a young girl named Asha who wishes on a star and gets a more direct answer than she bargained for when a trouble-making star comes down from the sky to join her. In the Kingdom of Rosas, located off of the Iberian Peninsula, a 17-year-
old girl named Asha senses a darkness that no one else does about the kingdom's ruler, King Magnifico. This eventually leads to her trying to make a passionate plea to the stars in a moment of need. Soon, an actual star from the sky named Star answers
Asha's wish. After the star falls from the sky, it is revealed that the star has magical powers to grant wishes as well. Together, Asha and Star must overcome the evils rising in Rosas and fight for a better future in order to have something better than
what they already have and for all dreams to come true for the people of Rosas. As this film comes out during Disney's 100th anniversary celebration, the fact that the plot is based on a wishing star similar to the one introduced in Pinocchio, and the stars seen in many subsequent films, such as Peter Pan, The Rescuers, Oliver &
Company, and The Princess and the Frog, which serve as Disney's most iconic symbol, being mainly used in the very first shot of the Disney castle logo since 2006, it can easily be considered a celebration for the company's centennial and possibly a '
spiritual prequel' to Pinocchio.
In reference to Disney's 100th anniversary, trailers for the film refer to it as "a story a century in the making".
Like some CG animated films in recent years (like the Spider-Verse franchise, DreamWorks' The Bad Guys, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem), the art style of the film resembles 2D artworks with CG animation, but
there are some differences between Wish and other films using same style:
Wish combines traditional hand drawn animation, Disney's original art style, with CG animation[11], while the other films combine comic style or oil-painted style with CG animation.
For Wish, buildings and environments are also rendered like hand drawn animation, while the other aforementioned films just use standard CG rendering for buildings and environments.
Based on the teaser trailer, Wish still uses the standard 24 frames per second to render character's movements, but the aforementioned films all use less frames per second (similar to characters' movements in 2D Japanese Anime).
The way the CG looks like hand drawn is similar to the Meander system used for Paperman, Feast, and Far From the Tree (the former two of which are Oscar winners).
This is the third Walt Disney Animation Studios film to be released on November 22, after Beauty and the Beast and Frozen II.
This is also the fifth Disney animated film to be released on said date, after Beauty and the Beast, Toy Story, Coco, and Frozen II.
