The upcoming Disney animated feature Wish looks like a good bet for the end of November and the upcoming holiday season. This story of a young girl named Asha and what happens when an unknown cosmic force grants her wish is poised to provide Disney with some much-needed box office success as the 2023 movie year draws to a frustrating close. Wish looks charming in its animated visuals, story, and talented voice cast, and you’ll be able to see that for yourself when the movie opens on November 22nd, 2023 in the US and November 24th 2023 in the UK.
If you prefer to wait to see Wish in the comfort of your home, there are a couple of different directions you can go. If you just care about seeing Wish online however, you’ll probably be able to do this in early 2024. As far as when you’ll be able to rent or buy the movie, as well as when it’ll come to Disney+, there’s a few things to keep in mind.
Where and When to Rent Disney’s Wish Online
Disney tends to take a case-by-case approach to how long you have to wait between a theatrical release and being able to rent or buy the film digitally. Movies like Encanto and Strange World were on VOD and Disney+ in just thirty days, while other Disney films like the Little Mermaid live-action remake took over 100 days to reach the same destinations. It really seems to be at the whim of the company right now, but if you don’t want to bother with a Disney+ subscription, and you know you’ll want to see the film at home, you’re going to be waiting for at least a month. A safer bet is that you’ll be able to rent or buy Wish digitally on Amazon, Google Play, or elsewhere in January or February 2024. A Blu-ray release will likely be made available around the same time.
Where and When to Stream Disney’s Wish Online
You’ll definitely be able to watch Wish on Disney+. As far as a specific date is concerned, Disney may decide to give Wish a Christmas 2023 Disney+ release if its theatrical returns are disappointing. Still, we’re sticking with the 60-to-90-day window between theaters and streaming on Disney+, so it’s probably best to assume later rather than sooner.
If you want to get a Disney+ subscription to watch Wish, rates start at $7.99/£7.99 per month. Wish is certain to do very well on Disney’s premier streaming service.
About Disney’s Wish
Wish will be directed by Chris Buck and veteran Disney animator Fawn Veerasunthorn in her debut feature. Oscar winner Ariana DeBose will portray the young hero Asha, whose ardent wish opens the door to the sort of fantastical adventure that Disney has become iconic for. With the help of the magical entity Star and a talking goat named Valentino (Disney favorite Alan Tudyk), Asha will hopefully stop the evil King Magnifico (Chris Pine) and save the kingdom of Rosas in the bargain.
Wish looks to be a welcomed dose of Disney magic in its purest form for those who are excited for a potential animated classic in the making.
