WISH, An All-New Musical Comedy Opens in U.S. Theaters November 22

November 8, 2023 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

We’re all stars! That’s the message behind Walt Disney Animation Studios and Disney Music Group’s latest song release, “I’m A Star,” performed by the talented cast of “Wish.” Now available on SiriusXM’s Disney Hits Channel 133, YouTube, Amazon Music, Spotify, Apple Music and all digital service providers, “I’m A Star” is the fourth of five songs being revealed as part of the weekly “Wish Wednesdays” music campaign ahead of the film’s launch in U.S. theaters on November 22. All seven songs in the film were penned by Grammy®-nominated singer/songwriter Julia Michaels and Grammy®-winning producer/songwriter/musician Benjamin Rice.

“I’m A Star” features 22 individual soloists who voice a host of forest animals and plant life that come to life and serenade Asha. “We wanted to have a song that represents what Star is all about,” said director Fawn Veerasunthorn. “Asha has so many questions about Star—primarily, ‘Why me?’ Star is there to remind Asha she has the power to pursue her dreams. And she’s not alone. The song—the movie—is about connection with others.”

Said Michaels, “Asha learns that everything is made of stardust. It is so fun and beautiful and always brings a little tear to my eye when I watch it.”

Added Rice, “The song is fun and deeply meaningful—through the power of Star’s stardust, all of nature comes to life and explains to Asha that we are all made of the same stuff. We are ALL stars! This song is also one of my personal favorites due to its message and the emotions and truth that it strikes in us all.”

“There’s a long tradition of singing animals in our animated musicals,” said director Chris Buck. “Baloo sings ‘The Bare Necessities’ with Mowgli, and Sebastian is backed up by all kinds of fish in ‘Under the Sea.’ But we were perhaps most deeply inspired by Snow White and Aurora and those beautiful moments when they sing to the forest creatures—you’ll see some clear references in the animation of ‘I’m A Star.’”

The Wish Original Motion Picture Soundtrack from Walt Disney Records will be available November 17 on all streaming platforms. Fans can pre-order the CD here and the vinyl here. “This Wish” 10” Star Die-Cut Picture Disc can be preordered here and will be available December 1, exclusively at Disney Music Emporium.

My Take on the Movie

This was definitely a scary movie when I first saw it so I know that seeing it again would still send some chills up my spine. It is a definite shocker that even though was criticized in the 1980’s for being too violent and horrific, it stands the test of time. This was a great remastered film that will allow you to either appreciate the movie again or experience it for the first time.

Guardians of the Galaxy 3 – Learn So Much More About The Team

August 7, 2023 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

In Marvel Studios’ “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” our beloved band of misfits are settling into life on Knowhere. But it isn’t long before their lives are upended by the echoes of Rocket’s turbulent past. Peter Quill, still reeling from the loss of Gamora, must rally his team around him on a dangerous mission to save Rocket’s life—a mission that, if not completed successfully, could quite possibly lead to the end of the Guardians as we know them.

The film stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldaña, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, featuring Vin Diesel as Groot and Bradley Cooper as Rocket, Sean Gunn, Chukwudi Iwuji, Will Poulter and Maria Bakalova. James Gunn is the director and also wrote the screenplay. Kevin Feige produces with Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Nikolas Korda, Sara Smith, and Simon Hatt serving as executive producers.

Marvel Studios’ “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” comes exclusively to Disney+ on August 2, joining the other two films of the trilogy, “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.”

My Take on the Movie

I always enjoy these films, not only for the cast and plot but for the cinematography, the music and so much more. This movie was a bit harder to watch because you do get to learn more about Rocket Raccoon’s past (which is not all sunshine and roses) and of course the Guardians get into a bit of scrapes that leave them a bit worse for the wear. Due to some of this, the movie does seem a little darker than some of the other films, but in my opinion, it is still one that I would love to watch again and again. I love seeing all of the additional characters in this movie like Adam Warlock, Howard the Duck (cameo appearance) Cosmo the Dog and more. Marvel fans will love these and it continues to build out the cinemagraphic Marvel Comics universe. While some people are saying this is the last movie, if you watch until the end there is an Easter Egg that negates that fact. All-in-all this was a great film that lets you learn a lot more about some of the Guardians and also lets you learn more about their underlying character as well.
