There have been various announcements concerning the release date, cast, story information, and trailer for Disney’s Wish, the studio’s 62nd animated film. Disney is breaking new ground with its upcoming children’s animated film Wish, which blends the traditional watercolor aesthetic of their early hand-drawn animated films with the state-of-the-art CGI of today.
Asha, the protagonist of Wish, is a young girl who makes a wish upon a star in the hopes of saving her kingdom but instead brings an actual star to Earth. Wish is an innovative take that brings back the enchantment and castles for which Disney is known.
Disney’s last major release before Wish was the box office flop Strange World in late November 2022. However, the prior year saw the debut of Encanto to unanimous critical acclaim, partly due to its great songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda. The good news for Wish is that Disney’s musicals tend to be stronger than the rest of the company’s output. Disney Wish release date, trailer, and many other highly anticipated details have now been officially announced.
Disney Wish Release Date
Disney’s Wish will hit theaters on November 22, 2023, just over a year after it was first announced. This date is comparable to the releases of several other Disney animated features, including Encanto, Moana, and both Frozen films, but it is most strikingly similar to the November 2022 release of Strange World.
Take a look at the below tweet about the Disney Wish release date:

Despite mostly excellent reviews, Disney lost tens of millions of dollars at the box office with the release of Strange World. Disney’s Wish may not do well in theaters on November 22 despite the popularity of other films released around the same time.
Although it’s possible that Wish will fare better than Strange World did at the box office, the timing of its release coincides with a glut of other major motion pictures. Even though Wish and the historical epic Napoleon isn’t necessarily aimed at the same demographic, other films released earlier in the month will still have a firm grip on the box office.
The first halves of November see the releases of Dune 2 and The Marvels, respectively, while The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes comes out a week before Wish.

What was shown to the audience from Wish sounded wonderful and might be the best Disney animated musical in years, despite the fact that the footage was unfinished and still needed a digital polish. The clip featured two songs composed by Julia Michaels and introduced the film’s protagonist Asha (Ariana DeBose) and antagonist King Magnifico (Chris Pine).
Is there Disney Wish Trailer Available?
There is a Disney Wish trailer available. The trailer opens with the introduction of Asha and King Magnifico, and while Magnifico isn’t explicitly portrayed as the villain, a close-up shot of his eyes squinting sinisterly followed by a classic villainous cackle are good hints that Magnifico’s promise to hold on to Asha’s wish may have ulterior motives.
Asha wishes upon a star, and the magical sphere crashes to the earth, transforming her goat Valentino into a slick talker with an urbane accent. Disney’s Wish teaser trailer reveals very little about the film, but it does establish the scene visually and hints at a rousing musical sequence.
