Wish - A Wish is an animated film created to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Walt Disney Studios in the global D100 event. The story unfolds in a marvelous kingdom named Rosas. King Magnifico, who rules this land, declares that he will turn every wish of the people into reality if they grant him their wishes. However, when Asha visits the king, she discovers that he only fulfills some wishes that he deems useful, and most of the people's desires are ignored. From there, Asha's journey against the evil forces of Asha and Star (the lucky golden star) with the talking goat Valentino officially begins to restore a bright future for Rosas.

The imagery of Asha's wishes under the star is believed to carry the classic Disney style. From Pinocchio to Peter Pan, the motif of the wishing star always holds special significance for the Mouse House. A notable feature in this film is the use of a special widescreen aspect ratio, similar to the movie 'Sleeping Beauty.' This is a rare occasion when Disney has used this ratio since the classic animated work in 1959. 'Wish - A Wish' is also a musical animated project, following the success of 'Frozen.'

Asha and Star together confront the tyrannical power of King Magnifico in Rosas, aiming to save the people and prove that the strong will of humans, combined with the magic of the stars, can create wonders.
