Disney's WISH now available to own - Lovebugs and Postcards

We received a copy of Disney’s Wish for review. All opinions are my own.

I was able to take my kids to see Disney’s WISH when it first came out. It is packed with a lot of great new songs, and a lot of fun parallels. You will be able to see them once you watch the movie – and then go back and really look for them. Ahsa’s story is meant to represent her becoming the Fairy God Mother, her friends are like the seven dwarfs, and there are nods to movies like Bambie and several others. There are just so many different little things you will be able to find. I would love to hear all of the ones you find, so come back and share them with me.

A heartfelt celebration of the magic of Disney, and a joyful new entry to the studio’s animated film legacy, Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Wish is now available for families to enjoy at home. Fans can enjoy a sing-along movie version, never-before-seen bonus features and deleted scenes from all major digital retailers including Prime Video, Apple TV, and Vudu NOW and on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD March 12.

A heartwarming and magical story, Wish has been described as “Wondrous” (Sabina Graves, Gizmodo), “Enchanting” (Kristen Lopez, The Wrap) and “more than a film. It’s a love letter to the art of dreaming and the power of hope” (Kevin Fenix, The Illuminerdi).

Film Synopsis

In this animated musical-comedy, Asha, a sharp-witted idealist in the kingdom of Rosas, makes a powerful wish that’s answered by Star, a ball of boundless energy. Soon, Asha and Star must face a formidable foe—the ruler of Rosas—to save her community and prove that when one brave human connects with the magic of the stars, wondrous things happen.
