    ANAHEIM: Oscar winner Ariana DeBose is set to lead Disney Animation Studios’ upcoming toon musical film “Wish”.

    The project, which was announced during the ongoing D23 Expo, will also feature “Wreck-It Ralph” star Alan Tudyk.

    “Frozen” helmer Chris Buck will be co-directing the film along with Fawn Veerasunthorn, best known for her work on “Raya and the Last Dragon”.

    “Wish” revolves around 17-year-old Asha (voiced by “West Side Story” star DeBose), who is navigating the Kingdom of Wishes.

    She makes a plea to the stars, wishing for guidance, and ends up bringing an actual star down from the sky.

    According to the makers, the movie will be a mix of timeless watercolour style and 3D CG (computer graphic) animation.
