Araiana DeBose will star in Wish, a new Disney animation from the team behind Frozen, it was announced as part of the D23 Expo.

Resident Alien’s Alan Tudyk will star opposite her in the movie by Frozen’s Chris Buck and Raya and the Last Dragon’s Fawn Veerasunthorn.

DeBose’s Asha is a 17-year-old heroine who’s driven, incredibly smart and an optimist, a sharp-witted leader in the making who sees darkness that others do not. She’s navigating a Kingdom of Wishes, where wishes can literally come true. Asha makes an impassioned plea to the stars, wishing for guidance and help, and ends up bringing an actual star — a cosmic force that’s a literal ball of energy and communicates through pantomime — down from the sky. Tudyk plays Valentino, a goat.
