Speaking of her role in the UK version of the all-new musical comedy, Humes says: “It is a dream come true to join the voice cast of Wish.
"The film nods to the magical legacy of the Disney films I grew up with and I cannot wait to see my children’s faces when they hear my voice on the big screen!”
Fans have already been getting excited over the recently released trailer for the film, which teases stellar animation, some hilarious moments and a deep profound message, as is often the case with Disney animated films.
The cast of the film is led by DeBose as 17-year-old heroine Asha who gets the chance to become King Magnifico's (Chris Pine) apprentice. But when the veil is lifted on his wish-making practices, she's left at a moral crossroads about what to do with the new information.
According to the synopsis: "Wish is an all-new musical-comedy welcoming audiences to the magical kingdom of Rosas, where Asha, a sharp-witted idealist, makes a wish so powerful that it is answered by a cosmic force - a little ball of boundless energy called Star.
