Wish
A sorcerer named Magnifico uses his magical powers to save & protect the priceless wishes of people around him. He invites people from all over to live in his Kingdom of Rosas in exchange for their precious wishes which he promises to protect. A young girl named Asha visits King Magnifico to interview for a position as his apprentice. She becomes quite disturb at what she witnesses during this meeting. So distraught, she makes a wish later that evening. Then a star named Stellar visits Asha to assist in dealing with her dilemma. This is the story of overwhelming greed for power corrupting an individual’s decisions & being seduced to the dark side of magic. It’s also the story of a community banding together to right a wrong. This is a marvelous story perfect for Disney’s 100 year celebration. Look for the many Disney Easter Eggs imbedded into this musical animated film. When you wish upon a star… At the end of the credits, there is one last musical moment.
Alien gives it 3½ “Magic Wand & Staff” stars out of 4.
