Wish star Ariana DeBose has praised her co-star Chris Pine for his “incredible” vocals.

The film follows Asha after her wishes are granted by a cosmic force called Star and she must face Pine’s villainous nature to save her kingdom.

As part of their roles, the two can demonstrate their singing skills and while they are busy with Digital SpyDeBose explained that her co-star “may not realize the full depth of his talent.”

“Oh, I’ve always loved Chris Pine,” she admitted.

“And I find that statement very funny because Chris Pine has sung with people like Barbra Streisand, and I thought to myself: Am I making you nervous? You sang with Barbra. Forgive me – Miss Streisand.

“He’s incredible,” added DeBose. “I think Chris is one of those multi-talented actors who maybe doesn’t realize the full depth of his talent, because he’s a pretty good singer and I think he makes a delicious villain.”

“A real Disney villain. He jumped in.

“Although we weren’t able to record together in the studio, we had the chance to get together to promote the film and spend time with him. He’s such a gentleman, a great guy. And I’m a fan.”

Ahead of Wish’s release later this week, the film received mostly mixed reviews and currently sits at 49% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Many praised the animation style, but others felt that moments were “recycled”.

In Digital SpyIn our three-star verdict, we said it was “unlikely that Wish will resonate with audiences as much as other recent successes like Encanto.” However, we added, “It’s an entertaining, short and snappy film that makes a good addition to Disney’s catalog.”

Wish will be in theaters on November 24th.
