Disney’s Wish cast: All voice actors & characters
DisneyDisney’s centennial animated celebration is now available to stream. But who stars in it? Here’s a full rundown of the Wish cast, including all voice actors and characters.
Taking the studio’s core idea of wishing on a magical star, Wish follows young Asha, who makes a wish so powerful that it’s answered by a little ball of boundless energy called Star.
With Star’s help, Asha must save her kingdom from King Magnifico and prove that when the will of one courageous human connects with the magic of the stars, wondrous things can happen.
Disney has once again pulled out all the stops with a star-studded (pun intended) Wish cast, with more than a few voices that you’ll likely recognize.
