Just wrapped up an adventurous weekend at D23. It is beyond a dream come true to have the opportunity to direct an original animated feature film at Disney—let alone a film that is meant to celebrate the 100th year anniversary of the Studios that inspired me so much since I was a kid. Not going to lie – I was scared out of my mind to step in front of 7000 people to talk about the movie😂 But Chris and I are super proud to show off the work from this incredible team of magic makers. WISH will be in theater November 2023. Produced by Peter Del Vecho and Juan Pablo RL. Starring Ariana Debose and original songs written by Julia Michaels✨ . . . #disney #disneyanimation #wish #d23expo #asha #valentino #arianadebose #2023

Wish trailer is here! We have been pouring our hearts into this film everyday and we’re pumped you finally get to see the glimpse of the music, magic, and the watercolor look we have been geeking out about. Starring @arianadebose Chris Pine @alantudyk. Music by @juliamichaels x @thebenjaminrice Only in theaters this November✨
What an absolute joy to tell a story about the sparks that keep our dreams alive. In addition to that, I get to collaborate with so many amazing & talented friends (shout out to you @disneyanimation & @arianadebose @juliamichaels @thebenjaminrice) to make WISH a reality. This week, the film comes out into the world. To say that I am freaking excited (!!!) is beyond an understatement. And it got me reflecting on the journey leading up to this. I have always been someone who love celebrating small moments. But this week makes me thankful for all the struggles it took to get here, too. Those days allowed me to grow and discover many things I didn’t know I could do. And often, I also found people who were willing to help (as there are many forms of Star out there.) Much like the journey of Asha, knowing what your wish is—is only the start of an exciting journey ahead. . . . @disneywishmovie #disney #disneywish #animation #traditionaldrawing #wish
Our new Wish posters drop today! @arianadebose as Asha x Chris Pine as Magnifico. All the Barbenheimers heading to theaters this weekend can check these out in all their extra large printed glory. We are in our final stretch of finishing this film and I am in awe of the amazing talents from all the departments at @disneyanimation every single day.

New WISH trailer is here✨One of the joy of being back to work in the studios is that I get to see every shot of WISH in the theater (and also in EDR and HDR-now I know what the differences are 👀) We got to show selected sequences for our press kick offs at the historic El Capitan theater last week and I love seeing the beautiful delicate paper texture, line work and colors on the widest screen yet. Shout out to Art and VFX combining their super powers and being fearless on this new journey together. This week we continue our days of sitting in the dark dark room for hours to finish our color timing (a process to put a finishing touch on final colors) and it will all be very worth it comes November 22! @disneywishmovie #wish #wishmovie2023 #disneyanimation #animation #behindthescenes #story
I took Kina to join us in DCI today (Digital Cut In-when we approve a group of final shots for the film) I took this photo as she walked down the main hall at @disneyanimation to the theater with Chris, @jupajones, Jim, and Albert. She rated all of 25 DCI shots she saw today from @disneywishmovie as “excellent!” Swipe to see a video from 4 years ago when she still thought Elsa lived in this building and sang Let It Go in the loading dock in honor of her favorite queen. #disneyanimation #disneywish #behindthescenes #elsa

There’s something about seeing our characters shaping up from pitches into animation dailies that was pretty magical. When the production wrapped, I was inspired to draw the characters as I got to know them. Still, I am not an on model drawer in anyway 😓 but being in the animation reviews almost daily had made me wanted to try. Shout out to our amazing animators, sups and heads of animation @animator._.mom & @wayne_unten for the massive inspiration. . . . #traditionalart #drawingsketch #wishmovie #asha #magnifico #star #valentino #dahlia #sakina

We wrapped our final sound mixing and @disneywishmovie is ready for the world. I have never witnessed this level of precisions in sounds. Watching @defmxr and his team worked gave me a new appreciation of this art form. Hearing the scores and the songs in @dolbytheatre Atmos is 🔥
