Is the movie ‘Wish’ pointing us to something God has placed within us?

What a love letter to 100 years of Disney! Filled with easter eggs and nods to the films that have gone before it, ‘Wish’ tries it’s best to capture the nostalgic feeling of watching a Disney movie as a kid. From Asha’s friends being the seven dwarves, with all their personalities, to magic mirror references, the film crammed as many references in as it could. The credits have images from all the previous Disney films too – well worth staying for those, if your little ones can manage it.

Ariana DeBose does a great job voicing Asha - her singing, as expected, is beautiful. Chris Pine is brilliant as ever, this time showing his villainous side as the evil King Magnifico. The Star is very cute and I can see bright things for the shiny little thing in terms of merchandising…

I’m going to say that I liked the songs on the most part. Having just listened to the soundtrack, there are definitely a couple that I can feel are going to grow on me. They’re not as instinctively catchy as other Disney songs but they have their own feel and I reckon ‘This Wish’ will be sung by little kids this Christmas (out of tune and without knowing all the words, of course…).
