This movie, about a young girl named Asha who wishes on a star and gets a more direct answer than she bargained for when a trouble-making star comes down from the sky to join her, is a weak computer animation movie.
Well, I did not expect this from Disney. I have enjoyed most of Disney movies and maybe more than the average viewer, but this movie did disappoint. Its flaws make it feel more like a wannabe than an original and it is not what I thought Disney would go for. The story is a good idea and the inner story is valuable, but the rest is far from good. The movie is rushed, the structure is weird, the purpose of the characters are bit confusing, the (Norwegian) voice actors could have been better, and while the songs may appeal to some, the songs themselves feel random in terms of timing. It feels like the movie tries too much to be something else than to develop its own way. The animation style is new and honestly a nice try, but still, it does not work because it feels rather like cheap video game cut scenes than a work of art by Pixar. The movie has potential and I can see why some might like it, but I do not think it is a worthy Disney movie.
This movie disappoints. A good central story is overshadowed by a rushed plot, confusing characters, and forgettable songs. The unique animation, while interesting, feels like a video game cutscene, not Disney magic. While some might enjoy it, then movie misses the mark.
