Plot of Wish

However, her aspirations turn darker when she discovers Magnifico’s deceptive plot to exploit the citizens by coaxing them into relinquishing their wishes. Accidentally summoning an energy orb named Star, Asha must combine forces with others to stop Magnifico’s oppressive rule and restore the wishes of the kingdom. Along the way, Asha challenges Magnifico’s authoritarian regime and uncovers unsettling truths that challenge the foundation of the revered system she once esteemed. Despite facing obstacles and betrayal, Asha and Star persevere, aided by their allies, to bring hope back to Rosas and thwart Magnifico’s sinister plans.
Cast & Crew, along with their perfume in Wish”
The cast and Crew of “Wish” bring their talents to the forefront, though the film struggles to capitalize on their potential fully. Led by Ariana DeBose as Asha, whose previous roles include West Side Story and viral internet fame, the cast delivers commendable performances. Chris Pine lends his voice to the deceptive King Magnifico, adding depth to the character with his captivating presence. Directed by Jennifer Lee and co-crafted by the acclaimed mind behind Frozen, the film boasts a team with a proven track record in animated storytelling. However, despite the pedigree of its cast and Crew, “Wish” fails to weave their talents into a cohesive narrative that truly captivates audiences.
