"When you wish upon a star . . ." It's one of the most famous lyrics in the Disney canon, coming from the company's 1940 film "Pinocchio." It's also part of the inspiration for the new Disney animated feature musical "Wish," which releases this fall. Disney first announced the project at D23 Expo in September 2022, which Popsugar was on hand for; it stars Oscar-winner Ariana DeBose as Asha, an optimist living in the magical kingdom of Rosas.
"Wish" follows Asha as she tries to save her kingdom by - of course - making a wish. Per Disney, Asha's plea is literally answered by a little cosmic ball of energy called Star. The pair will work together to try to save the day. The new film has original songs by Julia Michaels, Benjamin Rice, and composer Dave Metzger and is directed by Chris Buck and Fawn Veerasunthorn.

Disney’s magic was on full display Wednesday morning at CinemaCon 2023. For the first time since before the Covid pandemic, the studio is releasing films this year from each of its seven banners: Disney Live Action, Lucasfilm, Marvel Studios, Pixar Animation Studios, Walt Disney Animation Studios, 20th Century Studios, and Searchlight Pictures. And we got footage from all of them.
There were some no-shows, including most celebrities (with the exception of Melissa McCarthy for “The Little Mermaid”), no “Star Wars,” and Searchlight made no mention of its Jonathan Majors acquisition “Magazine Dreams,” which for now is still dated for a release on December 8 during awards season, despite the actor’s controversy and legal woes.
Below are our key takeaways from the no-nonsense, fast-moving, and (mostly) crowd-pleasing Las Vegas presentation.
