Chris Buck and Fawn Veerasunthorn directs Ariana DeBose, Chris Pine and Alan Tudyk in this Disney animation where a potential apprentice to the sorcerer learns a disturbing secret about the wishes the population give on their 18th birthdays.

Unmemorable songs, flat CG animation that tries to mimic 2D watercolours, a story that feels like a thin thread to bead on Disney Easter Eggs. The voice cast is good but nobody is given enough time to marinate. There’s nothing particularly awful about Wish, it feels like something that has been made to be half watched on a constant loop but my standard for a Disney fairytale is so much higher than “Will this do?”
