Disney’s ‘Wish’ Features So Many Famous Voices: A Complete Cast Guide
Ariana DeBose and Chris Pine take center stage in Disney’s enchanting new animated film, Wish. The star-studded cast brings to life a tale of magic, music, and adventure. DeBose shines as the courageous Asha, who makes a wish that sets the story in motion, while Pine sinks his teeth into the role of the villainous King Magnifico. But these talented actors aren’t the only ones gracing the screen – the cast of Wish is filled with a host of notable names, each bringing their own unique talent to the film.
Asha, portrayed by Ariana DeBose, is a teenage heroine who sets out to save the Kingdom of Rosas by making a wish upon a star. Facing her greatest challenge yet, she embarks on a thrilling journey propelled by the cosmic force of a little ball of energy known as Star.
Meanwhile, Chris Pine brings his formidable acting chops to the role of King Magnifico, the ruler who maintains control over his subjects’ wishes and never grants them. Pine, known for his versatility, admits he felt the pressure of singing alongside DeBose, a Tony Award and Oscar winner in their shared musical numbers.
It’s just not something I do on a daily basis, Pine confessed to Entertainment Tonight. When you’re singing opposite Ariana… it’s a big deal.
DeBose, on the other hand, was full of praise for Pine’s vocal prowess: He can sing! He can absolutely sing, she enthused. When I found out that I was cast in this film, I was like, ‘Oh!’ I mean, did you see him in Into the Woods?… I think Chris is one of those examples of not understanding just how talented he is.
In addition to DeBose and Pine, the cast of Wish boasts an array of other talented actors. Alan Tudyk lends his voice to Valentino, the lovable goat who serves as the film’s animal sidekick. Known for his previous contributions to Disney films, such as voicing Tuk Tuk in Raya and the Last Dragon and Heihei the chicken in Moana, Tudyk’s qualification for animal sidekick duty is undeniable.
Echoing the sentiment, Luiz Sacilotto Cabral portrays Queen Amaya, the wife of King Magnifico. Adding depth and complexity to the dynamic between the king and queen, Cabral’s performance delivers a captivating portrayal of loyalty, love, and power.
Taking on the role of Sabino, Asha’s endearing grandfather, is another esteemed actor, whose wish remains unfulfilled as he celebrates his 100th birthday. His character provides valuable wisdom and guidance to Asha throughout her journey, showcasing the importance of family ties and the enduring spirit of hope.
As fans eagerly await the release of Wish, they can expect an animated masterpiece that combines stunning visuals, enchanting music, and a star-studded cast. With DeBose’s irresistible charm as Asha, Pine’s dastardly portrayal of King Magnifico, and the talents of Tudyk, Cabral, and the rest of the cast, this musical comedy promises to delight audiences of all ages.
Disney’s Wish is set to cast its spell on cinemas worldwide, granting wishes and capturing hearts when it hits screens later this year. Prepare to be transported to a world where dreams come true, where heroes and villains clash, and where the power of a wish can set the stage for an extraordinary adventure.
