How to stream the new Disney movie Wish at Home

Disney will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2023 by giving one of its most famous pieces of magical iconography its own movie in Wish.

The animated film, which stars Ariana DeBose and Chris Pine, brought the whimsy of Disney fairy tales to a whole new generation when it flew into theaters last year.

Since it's now available to stream at home, here's everything you need to know about Wish, including cast and plot details.

How to broadcast wishes

Wish, Disney's 62nd animated film, will be available to purchase and rent from Prime Video, Sky Store and Apple TV+ From Tuesday, January 23.

We can expect Wish to eventually find its way Disney+, although a firm release date has not been confirmed yet. The streaming service is home to the studio's impressive catalog, from Golden Age classics like Peter Pan, Cinderella, and The Aristocats to Silver Age gems like Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King.

The film was originally released in UK cinemas in November 2023.

I hope for voice acting

West Side Story star Ariana DeBose stars in the film, a young woman named Asha who gets a little more than she bargained for when she wishes on a fallen star.

Star Trek, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves star Chris Pine got a chance to show off his villainous powers as the movie's Big Bad King Magnifico, a ruler who promised his people he had the power to make their wildest dreams come true – apparently.

Meanwhile, Firefly and Rogue One actor Alan Tudyk plays Valentino, Asha's cute pet goat who is given the ability to speak when he meets the fallen magic star.

Other cast members include Angelique Cabral, who plays Queen Amaya, Victor Garber as Asha's grandfather, Sabino, and Natasha Rothwell as Asha's mother Sakina.

Asha also has a group of seven friends, a reference to the seven dwarfs in Snow White, who are voiced by a group of stars.

Jennifer Komiyama plays Dahlia, and Evan Peters voices Simone; Harvey Gillen plays Jabu. Ramy Youssef takes on the role of Safi. Nico Vargas voices HAL. Della Saba plays Bazima. John Rudnitsky takes on the role of Dario. Each has a theme that is a nod to one of Snow White's companions.

Wish also includes a cameo role for broadcaster, author and entrepreneur Rochelle Hume. You will play a character also named Rochelle who dreams of becoming the captain of her own ship.

The soundtrack features music penned by Julia Michaels, the same songwriter who has written popular songs for Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez.

Desire conspiracy

Wish, Disney's latest animated story, follows 17-year-old Asha who makes a wish to a fallen star when she discovers a fast-approaching sinister presence in the fantasy kingdom of Rosa.

When a star descends from the sky and befriends her, Asha and her goat friend Valentino discover that they now have the power to make all their wildest desires come true. However, when the evil King Magnifico learns of this magical skill, their fun comes to an abrupt halt and they must fight for the future of their kingdom.

The film is directed by Chris Buck, half of the filmmaking team behind Disney's blockbuster Frozen, and Vaughn Vierasunthorn, the storyboard artist behind the new classic Moana. It was co-written by Buck and his Frozen filmmaking partner Jennifer Lee.

It uses a mix of 2D and 3D animation – the same genre that was a hit with fans in Into The Spider-Verse and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.

Desires trailer

The first trailer for Wish was released in April 2023 and introduced us to Asha and Rosa's kingdom.

The short teaser also gave us our first proper look at the film's rich animation style which appears to combine traditional watercolor-style 2D animation with a more advanced 3D animation style.

The finished product is a beautiful thing to behold and harkens back to the studio's famous animation history.
