About
Asha, a sharp-witted idealist, makes a wish so powerful that it is answered by a cosmic force – a little ball of boundless energy called Star. Together, Asha and Star confront a most formidable foe - the ruler of Rosas, King Magnifico - to save her community and prove that when the will of one courageous human connects with the magic of the stars, wondrous things can happen.

Quotes
See all →King Magnifico's Displeasure with Betrayal
King Magnifico
GOOD EVENING, ROSAS! Wow, the stars are out tonight. Oh, except for you. You’re trapped now, aren’t you? But you see, what can I say? I really, really don’t like being betrayed.
The Quest for Power and Control
King Magnifico
To harness a star... Ooh, a staff. A staff of such power, even the night will bow to my command. Perfect. One branch of mountain ash bathed in Tollen’s potion. Molten iron for strength, copper for a strike. And most important, the power cast from the innocent hearts of three. You dared to question me and all that I do for you. You don’t deserve to be granted. But, through me, you may serve a greater purpose.
Villager #1
My love.
Villager #2
Such sadness.
King Magnifico
Yes! Yes! YES! Amaya, darling! Come, come! You're just in time to meet my new toy. Now that is power! Am I glowing? I feel as if I am, yes?
[evil laugh]
Queen Amaya
How could you? You know the ways of forbidden magic are...
King Magnifico
Unappreciated. Much like I am by my own people. By that girl. She did this. She pulled a star from the sky to destroy everything I’ve built.
Queen Amaya
Asha? No, she only wanted her family’s wishes back.
King Magnifico
Do you side with the traitor, Amaya?
[angrily]
Confrontation Over the Missing Star
King Magnifico
That's right, Asha. You've been turned in. Now, where is it? Where's the star?!
Sabino
There's nothing here for you!
King Magnifico
How'd you do it? Huh? What sorcery did you use?
Asha
I know no sorcery!
King Magnifico
You ripped a star from the sky and used it to steal from me!
Asha
The wishes don't belong to you! You were never gonna grant my Saba's wish! And he deserves to have it back! They all deserve—
King Magnifico
I told you, I decide what they deserve!
Sakina
Please, Your Majesty! She made a mistake. She won't do it again.
Unexpected Results of a Magical Experiment
Asha
Wha-what are you doing? Valentino, don't eat that!
[as Valentino eats some of Star's fairy dust]
Valentino
It didn't work. When does the magic happen? I'm talking, I am talking! Ha! Who knew my voice would be this low?
[suddenly speaking; realizes he can now talk]
