Film: Wish

With not much on this week, and having only utilised my Odeon membership once last month, Wish is a nice bit of innocent escapism.

Asha lives in a kingdom led by King Magnifico, whose name immediately tells us that all is not as rosy as it appears. The power-hungry, insecure king has the power to grant wishes and once a year, he picks one to grant. Asha is up for an apprentice role at the palace and learns most wishes won't ever be granted and that most of the people of Rosas will never see their wish again. Asha sets about to right this wrong with a small army of cute talking animals.

Talking chickens. What’s not to enjoy?
