Disney's latest animated film finally hit theaters on November 22, and you can purchase Wish movie toys inspired by the characters you fell in love with on screen. Set in the Kingdom of Roses, the Disney movie follows Asha (voiced by West Side Story's Ariana DeBose), an optimistic teenager who gets more than she bargained for when the star she wishes on comes down to earth. Created to celebrate Disney's centennial, we anticipate the animated musical will become a mainstay of the Disney movie canon.
Drawing on a century-long history, Wish explores the backstory of the wishing star sung about in Disney's theme song "When You Wish Upon a Star" and seen in classic films like Snow White, Pinocchio and The Princess and the Frog. Disney fans can get the film's Asha doll (for $14!) and Star plush toy, which have become even more popular since the film's release. Based on reactions from early Wish audiences, Asha's lovable sidekick, Valentino the Goat (voiced by Alan Tudyk), is a hit, too.
The trending shopping experts at Firstfinds expect Wish toys to sell out fast based on the viral success of Disney movie toys this year, like the Little Mermaid doll, and the timing of Wish's release. With Wish premiering just ahead of Black Friday, you can expect toys from the movie to be a popular gift for kids.
If Frozen taught us anything, it's that you never know which new Disney movie will become the next viral sensation. So, if you're into toy collecting, you'll need to act fast to ensure you don't miss out on items like the Dahlia of Rosas and Queen Amaya dolls that can potentially be re-sold for a steep profit years down the line.
In addition to singing Asha dolls and Valentino plush toys, the Wish movie toy line includes fun, giftable products like Asha's Wishing Journal and musical Keepsake Box. The musically inclined will get a kick out of the Star Microphone and Wish Bluetooth Karaoke Machine, too.
Wish toys range from $5.99 to $49.99 and can be purchased online at Amazon, Walmart, Target and Disney. Whether you're gifting or collecting, you'll want to purchase yours quickly now that the film has hit theaters.
