In a new interview, producer Juan Pablo Reyes reveals Star's design was partly inspired by Mickey Mouse, particularly the fact that it's a simple design and it has a "mask" which is similar to Mickey's in its original design.

I also saw someone point out recently on Twitter its design seems inspired too by the stars that appear in the abandoned Snow White sequence where she and the prince dance on the clouds, and I think they might be right. It resembles those stars more than the fish-like ones in the Silly Symphony Wynken, Blynken and Nod which I mentioned could've been an inspiration.



Juan Pablo Reyes also said Walt's favorite tree in Marceline as a child served as inspiration for Asha's tree in the movie, though I believe Jennifer Lee had already revealed that detail in a past interview.

Speaking of the inspirations for Star, I think its pixie dust and some of its sounds are probably based on Tinker Bell's. By the way, I don't know if you guys noticed, but though it doesn't speak, Star makes some sounds in the teaser trailer when it laughs.

One last thing I wanted to mention which has to do with Star is that I recently noticed something about the logo I hadn't realized before. I thought it was a bit weird they chose to put the star over the letter "S" instead, for example, the "I." But now I think the "S" might represent the trail Star leaves behind when it moves as we can see, for instance, on some of the book covers. If that was indeed the case, I think it'd be quite clever and it'd make me like the logo much more. This cover in particular is the one that made me think of that possibility. What do you guys think? Could I be right about that?

I think we could know which name belongs to each character as apparently every name begins with the same letter as the dwarf they're inspired by. I already suspected that when we learned Asha's Doc-inspired best friend was called Dahlia. I've used the image Prince Kido created and added the new names:



Darío and Simón are Spanish names and I think Gabo is short for Gabriel, although in Spain Gabi is a more common nickname for people with that name. This character might not be non-binary as we suspected after all judging by the name. Bazeema sounds Arabic to me, but I don't know about Safi and Hal. Does anyone know any of those names or if they're short for something?

I've been living 30 years in Spain and I’ve never Known a guy called Simon . Both are names from the Bibble and before the democracy you have to had at least one biblical name. That's why there are so many Mary's and Jesus. Maybe it was popular 40 years ago but not right now. Simon also comes from the Jews. He was one of Jesu’s apostles

Dario was quite popular in Spain during the 90s but I’ve been living here for 30 years and I have never met someone called Gabriel or Simon. Simon is more popular in jewish people because they used to have names that appear in the Bible

Ponen de nombre Simón que es un nombre que existe en España y tienen algunas personas (concuerdo que no es muy común) y te sigues enfadando

Queen Amaya and King Magnífico (both spanish names) probably have more screentime than all the Teens combined, Asha grandfather has a spanish name too for example

Btw I think Safi is the name of the skinny girl, Safi feels like a girl name (Safiro ala Saphire)

Apparently, there's a small difference between the online teaser trailer and the theatrical one in one shot. At least that's what a fan says here. I think I've seen the trailer in theaters when I saw Elemental, but I didn't notice that. Though, sometimes I don't pay much attention to trailers like that that I've already seen several times at home.

Curiously, it's the opposite for me. The only Darío I've heard of (apart from the one in the Bible) is Darío Barrio, a chef who appeared on TV in the early 2000s, I think, who tragically died doing some extreme sport. Though, Gabriel is not one of the most popular names here, I know several called like that. I know at least one Simón as well, but I think it's more common as a surname. Anyway, perhaps these names were more popular when the movie takes place.

Perhaps you're right. Asha's friends' names starting with the initials of the seven dwarfs' is just a theory. Though, I don't know, I think it's too much of a coincidence every initial matches that of a dwarf. We'll see. By the way, I've now realized that both Safi and Simon start with "s", so it could be the other way around; the one inspired by Sleepy could be Simon and the other one could be Safi (if my theory is right).

Now that Dune has been postponed to 2024 Wish has become my most anticipated movie for the rest of 2023. Congratulations.

On that topic, now that Dune 2 is delayed and The Marvels will get IMAX screens thanks to its delay (even if it moves up to November 3rd), after that movie and the Hunger Games prequel starring the new Snow White everyone loves () gets their IMAX screens, perhaps that can give Disney an opening to give Wish IMAX screens when or a couple weeks after it comes out in the movie theaters for Thanksgiving.

Courtesy of Sanjay Creates, we have 2 new posters for Disney’s Wish, ahead of its theatrical release on November 22nd.

Both posters are different versions of the spheres in King Magnifico’s castle representing the history of animated Disney characters from its 100-year history.

Oh wow I was so confused haha. Now I feel dumb.

Hoping we get the trailer today, week 2 of asking

Mondays are normally good days for trailers

At this point an early September date for the new trailer is looking likely.

I’m so excited for Wish. Finally, a new graphical style from Disney I’m cautiously optimistic and getting used to how the movie looks like but so far, the story is already feeling like a classic Disney movie, before Lasseter made the “Buddy-Roadtrip” formula the norm in the studio. I like the design of the world, really feels like a medival setting perfect for a Disney Animated movie. I also love the design of Asha, she has a very unique hairsyle for a “Disney Princess”-esque character. Can’t wait for the songs in the movie, already loving “This Wish” previewed in the teaser and D23 Expo. Also can’t wait for the full trailer coming soon.

I'm very excited for the movie as well. Between this and Encanto, I'm very glad that WDAS is taking a break from the "buddy/roadtrip" formula as well.

Hoping today we get the trailer, I mean why would they wait until the Disney event? They can release the trailer this week and in the Disney event talk about the movie anyways

My best guess for when a trailer for Wish will come out is on Destination D23 which happens on September 8-10. They say that there will be some trailers for upcoming Disney+ shows and movies and theatrical movies and Wish will have a special presentation there, but it’ll be fine by me if we got it earlier.

I love those poster(s). Funny how the first one has almost all the M&C films together--TLM, Aladdin, Hercules, TP, TP&TF, and Moana.
