Disney's latest animated film, 'Wish,' premiered in theaters on November 22, 2024, and made its streaming debut on Disney Plus on April 3. The movie features a star-studded voice cast, including Chris Pine as the wicked ruler Magnifico and Ariana DeBose as the protagonist, Asha.
One of the highlights of 'Wish' is Chris Pine's singing voice, which he lent to the character of Magnifico. Despite his initial apprehension about singing, Pine's performance in the film showcases his vocal abilities. The actor previously sang in the movie adaptation of 'Into the Woods' in 2014.
The film's original songs were written by songwriters Julia Michaels and Benjamin Rice, with Dave Metzger composing the original score. The soundtrack includes songs like 'Welcome To Rosas,' 'I'm a Star,' 'Knowing What I Know Now,' and 'A Wish Worth Making.'
Pine described the musical style of 'Wish' as unique, with elements that play against the dominant melody line to convey the story of the lyrics. He likened the approach to the work of legendary Broadway composer Stephen Sondheim, known for his emotionally driven and plot-centric songs.
Despite his nerves about singing alongside Broadway performer Ariana DeBose, Pine's co-star praised his vocal talents and performance in the film. DeBose commended Pine for his singing abilities and described him as a 'delicious villain' in the movie.
'Wish' is now available for streaming on Disney+, offering viewers the opportunity to enjoy the enchanting story and captivating musical performances of the talented voice cast. Fans of animated films and musicals alike can immerse themselves in the magical world of 'Wish' and experience the vocal talents of Chris Pine and his fellow cast members.
