You know how the song goes: "When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are...". This song from Pinocchio is one of THE great Disney tunes; and the idea that one can wish upon a star to make it come true is what inspired the studio's latest animated feature, Wish.

The movie is set in the kingdom of Rosas, founded by a sorcerer named Magnifico (Chris Pine) to be a utopia for everyone on one condition – when they turn 18, they have to surrender their greatest wish to him for safekeeping, so that he may grant it one day in the future. Nope, not sinister at all.
