I agree that Dahlia is boring (and why her name isn't Dalia without the H if it's spain?) And I would have made the black girl or the brown girl her best friend

But Dahlia is clearly the best friend because the director of the movie is east asian so she' there to represent her (and from what I've seen Disney Animation is 99% white men and east asian women, for some reason there's no other groups working there)

Also with the toys in Madrid, I hope the marketing campaign is bigger in spain than with other disney movies, Encanto had a big campaign in Colombia

They should get someone like Nia Correia (afro-spanish singer) to do Asha voice, or Berta Vazquez (famous actress) who sings and already has experience with animated movies (Big Foot)

The voice in English for Amaya and Asha grandparent (and the rest of characters) should be people like Penelope Cruz, Antonio Banderas, Javier Bardem and other popular Spanish actors, literally Banderas has experience with voice acting, he would be a more logical King Magnifico

Do you know how much does it cost?

24,99€ each one. Valentino looks really cute! And Asha was beautiful too!

Thank you

Yes, she's a plus-sized, disabled Asian woman.

I didn't think she was Asian, but maybe she is. The eyes are so big and round in animation that it's difficult to tell just based on that. I guess we'll know for sure when her voice actress is announced since they usually tend to match the character's ethnicity. As for her design, it's not particularly interesting to me, but it's not worse than that of the other Teens, in my opinion.

Where was that said about the Grumpy-inspired teen? I know Grace Randolph said Star was non-binary, but where was that said about the Grumpy-inspired teen.

Grace Randolph just said she had heard there would be a non-binary or genderfluid character in the film. She didn't know who it was, but suspected it could be Star. Some people think that character could be the Grumpy-inspired teen instead, because he or she seems to have a bit of an androgynous look, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

I agree that Dahlia is boring (and why her name isn't Dalia without the H if it's spain?)

It's true; it should be just Dalia. Though, not even that would be accurate. I read on Wikipedia that Dahlia is originally the name of a flower which was named like that in honor of Swedish botanist Anders Dahl in 1791, so the name didn't even exist back when Wish is supposed to take place.

The voice in English for Amaya and Asha grandparent (and the rest of characters) should be people like Penelope Cruz, Antonio Banderas, Javier Bardem and other popular Spanish actors, literally Banderas has experience with voice acting, he would be a more logical King Magnifico

Oh, Antonio Banderas would've been a great Magnifico! I like Chris Pine, but it's a shame they didn't cast a Spanish actor for the role. Hopefully, some of the other characters is voiced by someone from Spain, like you said. I doubt Javier Bardem is part of the cast since he was already in The Little Mermaid, but yes, perhaps Penélope Cruz or Antonio Banderas (or Paz Vega, for example) have some role. Only one character in Luca was voiced by an Italian actor, though, so we better not get our hopes up.

I read in an article that Lea Salonga is rumored to be part of the voice cast, but I don't know where they got that info from, because I don't see anything about her potential participation anywhere else. She has some connection to Spain, though, since she's from the Philippines, which was a Spanish colony in the past; her name is Spanish (Maria Lea Carmen Imutan Salonga, according to Wikipedia) and I've checked some Youtube videos and she also speaks Spanish; not perfectly, but quite well. Come to think of it, perhaps Dahlia is of Filipino descent. That would make sense historically. Though, Lea Salonga might be a bit old to voice her, so if she's in the film, maybe she voices another character.

I'm totally fine with a Filipina actress being a voice for the movie, I'm okay in general with anybody Hispanic or the diaspora

Right now none of the 3 actors are Hispanic, I mean Ariana Debose is 1/4 Puerto Rican with no culture at all (and it's just her biological semen donour since she hasn't met her father)

So I hope at least the rest are Hispanic or diaspora (Filipinos count as diaspora for the colonization and cultural things they share, I have many Filipino friends and they all have basically the same culture as Spain, and also their names)

Also makes more sense for Dahlia to be Pinay than East Asian as I assumed at first, but also doesn't make sense if this is based in the Al Andalus aka prior to Spanish imperialism, but I guess the movie will never explain exactly in what year it's based

Could Lea Salonga be playing Queen Amaya? That's what came to my mind when I heard that rumor.

That would be sooooo cool if it really happens. Our Disney Princess becoming a Disney Queen! Also, I already suspected that Dahlia is Asian when I first saw her in the teaser but it never crossed my mind that she could be Filipino so that would be cool as well; her design isn't that bad tbh. Most of "The Teens" have good designs aside from the Dopey-inspired teen who looks a bit goofy

Wish collection is announced on ShopDisney on October 2 while the embargo for other toys and products licenses will be lifted next October 1st : https://www.shopdisney.com/new-content/ .
I guess we can expect some dolls from Disney Store line, as well as plushes and figures set, etc.

Btw, I noticed that there are no Pop Funko announced (yet?) for Wish, and there was no Pop for Strange World, and neither for Pixar's Elemental : does anyone know why?

Also, princess.asha.22 from Instagram noticed me about a Wish calendar where we can spot a pose of Dahlia and Asha that I saw at Annecy's festival. Too bad that the calendar reprises twice several characters poses while there are nothing about Sakina and Sabino or the Teens (about the Teens, the little "Grumpy" one is name Gabo, as mentioned behind the upcoming Doorables figures).

It's obvious that the trailer will come this week or next one (I never saw a trailer popped on Mondays or Fridays though). Can't wait!

They should’ve dropped it tonight during the Monday Night Football game, where it will get more viewers. Doing it during Good Morning America will only botch its marketing campaign by giving it less viewership.

Apparently according to Deadline, Angelique Cabral is the actress playing Queen Amaya in the film. Which makes me wonder if Lea Salonga plays a different character or if it was only a rumor.

Lea Salonga playing Queen Amaya was just a rumor. It's nice to know that she could be played by someone in the Spanish diaspora, which could be telling that there are other actors from there that will be in the movie.

Dahlia doesn’t look quite so dowdy and frumpy in that calendar picture.

Oh, it's true. I'm not too good at history. Well, Asha's kingdom/island is a fictional place and the producer said the diversity in the film is explained because people from different parts of the world come to this place to have their wishes granted, though at the same time it's also inspired by the real diversity of the region at the time, so I guess they won't be 100% historically accurate.

Thanks for posting that calendar! At first I didn't know what you were referring to with the Doorables figures, but it's the image below, right? The Grumpy one being called Gabo is another indication my theory about the names could be right.

Most likely the rumor wasn't true. Asha's mother will probably be voiced by a Black actress and Dahlia is more likely to be played by a younger one. Now that we know she isn't voicing Queen Amaya, I doubt she's in the film. I'm sorry if I got people excited by posting that info, only to be disappointed.

It's alright D82, I already know that it was just a rumor. I was voicing out on how I'd feel if it did happen.

The fact that a trade reported the casting of Queen Amaya means that the trailer is out today or tomorrow

I'm sad they didn't had an iconic actress like Penelope Cruz, Paz Vega or even people like Salma Hayek (who has direct spanish ancestry, I mean like all people in LatAm but I think her grandparents are directly spaniards)

But at least assuming by her last name she's hispanic, not like Chris Pine (a very random choice, Magnifico is very clearly brown skinned, in all the pictures we've seen of him)

I’ll believe it when Disney puts out a tweet with the new poster saying “trailer tomorrow.”

Most trailers don't do this, they simply get released

But anyways not today since its already 8 minutes and no trailer

Maybe tomorrow
