In this animated musical-comedy, Asha, a sharp-witted idealist in the kingdom of Rosas, makes a powerful wish that’s answered by Star, a ball of boundless energy. Soon, Asha and Star must face a formidable foe—the ruler of Rosas—to save her community and prove that when one brave human connects with the magic of the stars, wondrous things happen.

I was provided a Digital copy to watch at home with my family. We enjoyed watching the movie and seeing the never-before-seen bonus features and deleted scenes. Little ones are sure to enjoy the sing-along movie version, which is featured in the Digital and physical (DVD, Blu-ray, etc.) versions.
