Disney’s upcoming animated film “Wish” is generating a lot of excitement. It’s the 62nd animated feature from Disney, and it promises to bring a fresh approach to animation. “Wish” is a children’s movie in the style of popular films like “Moana” and “Encanto,” but it introduces a new animation technique that combines the classic watercolor look of Disney’s early hand-drawn animations with modern CGI.

The film is set in the mystical land of Rosas, where Asha challenges King Magnifico, who holds a monopoly on granting wishes.
