Just released two days ago (Wednesday, September 27) — along with the full voice cast details — the new trailer for Walt Disney Animation’s 100th anniversary feature film Wish has enchanted the internet audience, tallying up a reported 66.5 million views across platforms, making it the most-watched spot for the studio since Frozen II in 2019. In a short amount of time, the Wish trailer surpassed the teaser released in April by ~20M views and set a record for Disney trailers on TikTok.

This draws the ire of King Magnifico (Chris Pine), ruler of the magical kingdom of Rosas, who sees it as his royal prerogative to control the distribution of wishes.
