In the trailer, we meet bubbly 17-year-old heroine Asha (voiced by Ariana DeBose) who gets the chance to become King Magnifico's (Chris Pine) apprentice. When she's let in on his wish-making secrets, she's soon at a moral crossroads.
As he shows her the wishes of Rosas, the King tell her: "People give their wishes to me and I grant the wishes I am sure are good for Rosas." But Asha is confused, asking: "Some of these will never be granted?"
The charismatic King then answers simply: "Some? Most ... I decide what everyone deserves."
It prompts Asha to run into the night and make a wish on a star, which only seems to have a magical effect on Rosas, unlike anything anyone's seen before.

As well as having a typically Disney story at the heart of it, we can't forget that this is the same studio that has brought us hit films like Frozen and Moana - so something tells us this is going to be good.
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.
"Together, Asha and Star confront a most formidable foe - the ruler of Rosas, King Magnifico - 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."
