Already knew this.

There was a promo during Dancing with the Stars of The Wonderful World of Disney’s Disney 100 Celebration promo, and along with Once Upon A Studio and Encanto, they confirmed a special look at Wish in that spot, too.

Photos of all the pages of another tie-in book, "Welcome to Rosas". This one doesn't seem to be too spoilery.

This article also provides some details I hadn't heard before like Magnifico telling Asha he remembers her father before he passed away, or him announcing to the kingdom he will grant the wish of the one who can turn in the traitor. There's also some more info about what happens during the song "This Is the Thanks I Get."

I found that article thanks to this trailer breakdown. There Youtuber Aussie Disney Girl also mentions Queen Amaya's cape reminds her of Elsa's "Let It Go" dress. That's something I had noticed too, but personally it reminds me more of the capes she wears in Frozen II. The braid could also be inspired by Elsa's. Maybe they took elements from her because she's also a Disney queen.



Associate Production Designer Griselda Sastrawinata-Lemay, who worked on the film's costume design, recently confirmed there are nods to past Disney films in the costumes, so most likely things like the one I mentioned are not just a coincidence.

In looking for inspiration for her work, Griselda explored various material sources, such as European and North African history, to create a unique costume for the main character, Asha. But, it also explored some of Disney's animated classics to bring details from some iconic films, which fans will definitely notice when they see Disney's "Wish" this November.

Here's also some promotional stuff:

I like that one of the artworks shows that all the Teens work at the castle in some compacity. It isn't just Dahlia who works there.

Yeah, it turns out they all do work in the castle kitchen. Maybe it's another reference to the seven dwarfs, as they all work together as well. I've read the first pages of the books and another thing that caught my attention is that Asha does call her grandpa saba; does this confirm he's Jewish? I also noticed they refer to Star as "her," I don't know if this means Star has a gender.

They started pre selling tickets for Wish and the runtime shown in theaters website is an hour and 35 minutes. The Once Upon A studio short isnt't showing so I think another 10 minute short will be shown, but I'm wondering if the runtime includes the short itself. If it does then the movie itself is an hour and 25 and without credit its an hour and 15 minutes of content.

I think short films aren't usually included in the runtime. That's similar to the runtime featured on Disney's awards website, which is an hour and 32 minutes.

"This Is the Thanks I Get" is described as a "song and rap". It is rather interesting that the article says that while Julia Michaels and Benjamin Rice are using a contemporary sound for their songs, that Julia is a huge fan of the classics. I wonder if the songs are a mixture of Broadway and Contemporary; I guess we'll see when the soundtrack comes out.

Here's also some promotional stuff:

“Hello, I’m King Magnifico and you’re watching Disney Channel!” (*proceeds to draw most horrific hidden Mickey in the air”) dun dun DUN dun

So my theory from months ago was right

Asha is a mix of all cultures in the iberian peninsula

She is half sephardic jewish (or maybe a quarter? But her grandpa is definetly jewish) her mom is black (west african slavery heritage in Spain) and wears romani style clothes (in 1200 we (I'm part romani) didn't arrived yet to Spain, but it's a fake island so it doesn't have to be completely real) and also has arabic name and Asha says Salam in the book.

So I'm assuming her mom is a black spaniard who is culturally arab (basically everybody in the Al Andalus) so her name origins in that

Oh wait wait, what if Asha mom is a tuareg amazigh (black amazigh tribe) instead of West African? That would make sense too

I'm not just excited to see Once Upon a Studio, but I am looking forward to seeing the sneak peek during Encanto on ABC.

I wonder if the songs are a mixture of Broadway and Contemporary; I guess we'll see when the soundtrack comes out.

I didn't notice the article said the song was a rap. Interesting choice for a villain song. Perhaps it's the film's tribute to Lin-Manuel Miranda and his contribution to WDAS films.

By the way, I forgot to say Asha's new song featured in the latest TV spot reminds me a little of "When You Believe" from The Prince of Egypt. Although, it's a very short snippet. It seems she'll have at least two ballads then.

It does look a bit like a Disney channel bumper.

According to the directors, Asha's mother is North African; they don't give more details about her or Sabino's origin, but yes, it seems Asha is a mix of several cultures.

Chris Buck states that Sakina, voiced by actor Natasha Rothwell, is North African. Sabino is Asha's 100-year old grandfather who is of Southern European descent. He is voiced by actor Victor Garber. Sakina is Asha's biological mother, and Asha's father died when she was 12.

I fell asleep at some point between "Surface Pressure" and "What Else Can I Do;" what was the Wish sneak peak??

It was basically a re-edited version of the new trailer we got. Sure, we didn't get anything new, but seeing the animation/visuals in uncompressed picture and quality was a treat.

Ariana Debose's singing voice is still probably the biggest draw for me. It's so unlike the voice I normally associate with your typical Disney leading lady.

Meanwhile, "This Wish" still sounds kinda generic to me. I may appreciate it more in practice, but right now it's looking like another Tiana situation where I adore the singing voice but wish it had been paired with a Menken song.

According to the video description, we'll get a new song from the film each Wednesday beginning this week, so it's true they were going to release the songs earlier than usual.

To mark the occasion, Disney Music Group shared plans today for Wish Wednesdays—beginning this week, a new song from the movie will debut each Wednesday on YouTube, Amazon Music, Spotify, Apple Music and all digital service providers.

Each week of the Wish Wednesdays rollout will feature never-before-seen content tied to a new song’s release, including footage reveals, lyric videos, original art and behind-the-scenes featurettes.

The new footage shows off some of the musical numbers, including "Welcome to Rosas" and "I'm a Star". They both look like they're going to be visually stunning and have a lot of high energy to them. Hopefully sometime in November we'll get a behind the scenes look at the movie, I'm excited to watch that.

According to the video description, we'll get a new song from the film each Wednesday beginning this week, so it's true they were going to release the songs earlier than usual.

Wow they are really hyping it up to the max! I'm so happy they revealed the song titles and are going to reveal each song during every Wednesday starting this week. "A Wish Worth Making" sounds like it's going to be the end credits song.

Yes, that has to be the end credits song. I'm excited to hear the songs too.

I'm not at home now and I can't post the soundtrack covers, but you can find them on this article:

The list made me realize that the last time they had a love duet was I See the Light in Tangled and before that it was Can You Feel The Love Tonight in The Lion King! (I guess you can also count If I Never Knew You if you watch the special edition of Pocahontas).
