We had the chance to visit the Walt Disney Studios as part of an event for D23 members in celebration of the Blu-ray and DVD release of WISH. Several wishes were granted with the threat of rain successfully NOT canceling the event activities! Fans at the free event were treated to themed activities, treats, giveaways, and a sing-along screening!
Here’s a look at everything we enjoyed for the D23Â Wish Sing-Along Screening and Celebration event!
Check in began at 12:30 p.m., with activities on the studio lot available until 3 p.m. Guests were then invited into the Studios Main Theatre for a pre-show panel with the cast and crew on-hand.
Storytime with the Queen
Angelique Cabral, who voiced Queen Amaya, did a storytime of the film’s story with an oversized storybook.
How to Draw Star
WISH directors Fawn Veerasunthorn and Chris Buck did a Q&A with everyone in attendance answering all questions about the film. As they fielded questions, Fawn showed eveyrone how to draw the adorable star.
Complimentary Sweet and Savory Snacks
An impressive spread inspired by the quisine of the City of Rosas included meatballs, sandwiches, fried vegetables, and star cookies!
Photo Opportunities
There were several photo opportunities including a meet and greet with Asha herself!
Meet Asha
Sing-along screening of Disney’s Wish
Voice actors Angelique Cabral & Jennifer Kumiyama; music duo Juliet Michaels & Benjamin Rice; directors Fawn Veerasunthorn & Chris Buck; and producer Juan Pablo Reyes were surprise guests before the panel and they talked a bit about working on the film. Following that special panel, guests were treated to a sing-along version of the film. We also had the chance to watch the animted short ONCE UPON A STUDIO which was a bit surreal to watch AT the actual studio. That is a pretty special memory!
See it for Yourself
Wish Sing-Along Screening and Celebration takes place at The Walt Disney Studios at 12:30pm PST on Sunday March 3, 2024.
