Chris Buck and Fawn Veerasunthorn directed, Jennifer Lee and Allison Moore wrote it, and Ariana DeBose voiced Asha, a 17-year-old in the Mediterranean kingdom of Rosas who wishes on a star and gets an actual star in return. Chris Pine plays King Magnifico, the sorcerer who keeps his subjects' wishes locked away, and Alan Tudyk plays a goat who learns to talk. This quiz covers the story, the voice cast, the seven friends modelled on the Seven Dwarfs, the watercolour-meets-CG art style and its Sleeping Beauty aspect ratio, the Julia Michaels songs and Dave Metzger's use of 'When You Wish Upon a Star', the cut scenes revealed in the art book, the strike-hit premiere with Mickey and Minnie on the carpet, and the box-office and streaming numbers that followed. Fifty questions, four options each, with a short explanation after every answer. Play in sets of ten or print it for a Disney night.

Q 01Who voices Asha in Disney's Wish?
Ariana DeBose
Ariana DeBose. Disney approached her straight after West Side Story, the film that won her an Oscar, and the animators studied her own gestures to shape how Asha moves.
Q 02Who voices King Magnifico in Disney's Wish?
Chris Pine
Chris Pine. Writer Jennifer Lee wanted 'charm, cleverness and charisma' for a king his subjects adore at first, and Pine admitted that singing the villain's numbers made him nervous.
Q 03In Disney's Wish, what kind of animal is Asha's pet Valentino?
A goat
A goat. Star's magic grants his wish to talk, and the tiny kid turns out to have a deep, low voice, which the writers wanted in place of anything cute.
Q 04What is the name of the island kingdom where Disney's Wish is set?
Rosas
Rosas. King Magnifico founded it after losing his own family, promising a haven where every wish would be kept safe, and people sailed in from all over the world to live there.
Q 05In which sea does the island kingdom of Disney's Wish lie?
The Mediterranean
The Mediterranean. The filmmakers placed the island off the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, so its buildings, costumes and music mix southern European and North African influences.
Q 06In Disney's Wish, how often does King Magnifico hold a ceremony to grant one wish?
Once a month
Once a month. Citizens hand over their wish at 18, so with only twelve granted a year most wait a lifetime; Asha's grandfather is still waiting patiently at 100.
Q 07Like many classic Disney fairy tales, Wish opens with which device?
A storybook
A storybook. Its watercolour pages tell how the kingdom was founded, and writer Jennifer Lee said she loved the idea because it paid homage to Disney's earliest fairy tales while taking its own approach.
Q 08Who voices Asha's grandfather Sabino in Disney's Wish?
Victor Garber
Victor Garber. He also recorded a solo, 'A Wish Worth Making', for the moment Sabino gets his wish back, but the scene was cut late on and his version survives only as a bonus feature.
Q 09In Disney's Wish, what job is Asha interviewing for when the story begins?
Magnifico's apprentice
Magnifico's apprentice. It is one of the most coveted posts in the kingdom, and the interview goes well until she asks the king a favour he refuses, which shows her what he really does with the wishes.
Q 10Star's heart-shaped face mask in Disney's Wish is a nod to which classic character?
Mickey Mouse
Mickey Mouse. Designer Bill Schwab matched Star's expressions to screen grabs from 1930s Mickey shorts, and kept the body a plain round ball as a nod to the bouncing ball every animator learns to draw first.
Q 11In Disney's Wish, what do the talking forest animals tell Asha all life is made of?
Stardust
Stardust. The forest sings it to her in the number 'I'm a Star', an idea the filmmakers took from physicists they consulted about why a star would ever answer a wish.
Q 12In Disney's Wish, which of Asha's friends betrays her to King Magnifico?
Simon
Simon. The king promises to grant the wish of whoever exposes the 'traitor' who summoned Star, so he informs on Asha, and is bewitched into the king's service for his trouble.
Q 13In Disney's Wish, what does Simon wish to become?
A knight
A knight. The strong 'gentle giant' of the group, in his writer's words, longs to be a warrior but drifts through his days in a perpetual dreamy state, with a big heart and a bigger yawn.
Q 21In Disney's Wish, what gift does Star leave Asha before returning to the sky?
A magic wand
A magic wand. Asha's first try with it gives a cart a set of legs, and her voice actor describes the character from then on as a 'modern-day fairy godmother'.
Q 22In Disney's Wish, what does Magnifico turn to when his subjects begin to doubt him?
A book of forbidden dark magic
A book of forbidden dark magic. With it he forges a weapon out of his own citizens' wishes, and every wish he consumes leaves him stronger and further gone.
Q 23Wish reunited director Chris Buck and writer Jennifer Lee, the duo who directed which Disney hit?
Frozen
Q 14What appears among the stars during the end credits of Wish?
Characters from earlier Disney films
Characters from earlier Disney films. Dozens appear in sparkling gold in order of release, a roll call for the studio's 100th year that runs from its first feature to Splat from 2022's Strange World.
Q 15Asha's circle of friends in Disney's Wish is modelled on which classic characters?
The Seven Dwarfs
The Seven Dwarfs. The filmmakers gave each teen the first initial, the costume colours and a personality trait or two of one of them, a homage the film's own writer has confirmed.
Q 16At the start of Disney's Wish, what is Asha's everyday job in the kingdom?
Tour guide
Tour guide. She greets new arrivals in the opening number, and to find the energy for the song her voice actor invented an alter ego she called 'Janet, the tour guide'.
Q 17In Disney's Wish, which of Asha's friends is a baker and her best friend?
Dahlia
Dahlia. She bakes cookies in the king's image and is the group's unofficial leader, the one who stops to assess a situation while Asha charges full speed ahead.
Q 18In early drafts of Disney's Wish, which of these characters was a villain alongside King Magnifico?
Amaya
Amaya. Artists first drew the queen and her husband as a crime-family couple in the mould of Tony and Carmela Soprano, with an evil pet cat, before the story made her the one who turns on him.
Q 19Who voices Asha's mother, Sakina, in Disney's Wish?
Natasha Rothwell
Natasha Rothwell. Her character pays for Asha's defiance: Magnifico crushes Sakina's wish in front of her family, and discovers that destroying it makes him stronger.
Q 20In Disney's Wish, where is King Magnifico trapped when his own magic turns against him?
Inside his staff's mirror
Inside his staff's mirror. The citizens' shared wish overpowers him, and the vain king who loved his own reflection is left as one, hung on a dungeon wall.
Frozen. Lee was finishing its sequel with Buck when she asked whether he wanted to make something for the studio's 100th year, and the film about wishing grew out of that conversation.
Q 24Wish co-director Fawn Veerasunthorn grew up watching Disney films in which country?
Thailand
Thailand. She has said she grew up there 'seeing the wishing star throughout the Disney universe and wishing to be a part of it'; a film about that star became her first as a director.
Q 25Which songwriting duo wrote the original songs for Disney's Wish?
Julia Michaels and Benjamin Rice
Julia Michaels and Benjamin Rice. Disney musicals usually go to Broadway writers, but these two came from pop, and Michaels won the job with a demo she wrote before the film even had a script.
Q 26Which song does King Magnifico sing as his villainous side breaks out in Disney's Wish?
This Is the Thanks I Get?!
This Is the Thanks I Get?! Its writers began it bright and upbeat so he would not sound like a villain at once, then darkened it bit by bit as his narcissism takes over.
Q 27The score of Wish quotes the first five notes of which classic song?
When You Wish Upon a Star
When You Wish Upon a Star. The tune returns after the credits, when a mandolin picks out its opening notes as though the song were only now being written.
Q 28In Disney's Wish, which song does Asha sing as she makes her plea to the stars?
This Wish
This Wish. She sings it on her way to the Wishing Tree, where her late father used to take her to watch the night sky, and her plea brings a star down to answer.
Q 29In Disney's Wish, what does Asha wish for when she sings to the night sky?
More for her people
More for her people. Her lyric asks for 'something more for us than this', a wish made on behalf of the whole kingdom, and it is strong enough to bring a star down to earth.
Q 30Wish's extra-wide frame is a tribute to which Disney classic?
Sleeping Beauty
Sleeping Beauty. Wish copies its 2.55:1 shape because the artists regard the 1959 film as the peak of Disney's visual style and shared its aim of getting the drawing onto the screen.
