Suzanne Francis: Disney Wish: Time to Shine (Paperback)

Relive the magic of Disney's Wish with this puffy sticker book. The next original feature film from Walt Disney Animation Studios, "Wish," is set to release Fall 2023, during the Studio's 100th year. A film that could only come from Disney Animation, the epic animated musical is inspired by the legacy of films from the studio and asks the question: "How did the wishing star, upon which so many characters wished, come to be?" The story, set in Rosas, the kingdom of wishes where wishes can literally come true, follows Asha--an optimist with a sharp wit who cares endlessly about her community. In a moment of desperation, Asha makes an impassioned plea to the stars, which is answered by a cosmic force, a little ball of boundless energy called Star. Together, they face the most formidable of foes to save her community and prove that when the will of one courageous human connects with the magic of the stars, wondrous things can happen. Voice cast includes Academy Award winner Ariana DeBose as the voice of Asha, and Disney Animation good-luck charm Alan Tudyk as a goat named Valentino. "Wish" is directed by Oscar winner Chris Buck ("Frozen," "Frozen 2") and Fawn Veerasunthorn ("Raya and the Last Dragon," "Zootopia"), produced by Oscar winner Peter Del Vecho ("Frozen," "Frozen 2"), co-produced by Juan Pablo Reyes ("Encanto," "Strange World"), and features original music written by Grammy-nominated songwriter Julia Michaels.
