Wish Delivers A Magical Second Trailer

One of the things that’s sorely been missing in modern animated Disney movies is a classic villain. Some of the most engaging characters in Disney lore, from Scar to Ursula, are the bad guys, and while a lot of Disney films lately like «Frozen» and «Moana» have antagonists, there hasn’t really been a straight-up villain who we know is bad the whole time through. That appears to change with «Wish,» as the new trailer gives us an even better look at King Magnifico (Chris Pine).

The first trailer showed his eyes ominously glowing green while saying something sinister, but now, we get a better idea of what Asha is up against. Magnifico holds magical abilities, allowing him to grant the wishes of the people in his kingdom. However, he also decides which wishes get granted and which ones remain unfulfilled (and it’s most of them). It looks like it’ll be up to Asha, along with her goat and a friendly star, to upset the balance of power and help everyone achieve their dreams.

Disney could very well have another certified classic on its hands with «Wish.» And it’s appropriate that the film the company is using to celebrate 100 years of animation is about the power of a wish, going back to Geppetto wishing upon a star in «Pinocchio.»
