Movie Review: Disney's musical fairy tale 'Wish' is beautiful, but lacking magic

Chris Pine voices King Magnifico, the ruler of the Kingdom of Rosas who has the ability to grant wishes to his subjects in “Wish,” the new Disney Animation musical in theaters Tuesday.
Chris Pine voices King Magnifico, the ruler of the Kingdom of Rosas who has the ability to grant wishes to his subjects in “Wish,” the new Disney Animation musical in theaters Tuesday. But when a spirited 17-year-old, Asha, voiced by Ariana DeBose, learns that he also withholds granting wishes, she starts an accidental rebellion. AP Film Writer Lindsey Bahr writes in her review that it is stunning to look at with textured and rich watercolor-inspired animation and Easter egg treasures for audiences nostalgic for the classics. But it is also more concept than story and lacking in magic and charm. “Wish” is rated PG.
