Netflix enters a whole new world of wish-granting in the first trailer for
Wish Dragon. Forged in the same mold as Aladdin, the upcoming modern-day animated feature tells the story of Din (Jimmy Wong), a working-class college student who gets a chance to realize his greater ambitions after he discovers an all-powerful dragon named Long (merrily voiced by John Cho) inside a nondescript teapot.
The dragon has been trapped in there for the last thousand years and while we can t speak to the possible crick in his neck, it is confirmed that there are certain limits on his powers. Like most wish-granting entities, for example, Long can t make anyone fall in love.
Ian Chen. This absolutely is an
Aladdin remake from China, but the dragon still is adorable and there s always some good lessons to learn from telling this story anyway.
Here s the full US trailer (+ new poster) for Chris Appelhans s

In Sony Pictures Animation’s Wish Dragon, Din (Jimmy Wong), a working-class college student with big dreams but small means, and Long (John Cho), a cynical but all-powerful dragon capable of granting wishes, set off on a hilarious adventure in modern day Shanghai in pursuit of Din s long-lost childhood friend, Lina. Their journey forces them to answer some of life s biggest questions – because when you can wish for anything, you have to decide what really matters.

Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation teamed up for the upcoming animated film
Wish Dragon. Today, the first trailer arrived, and the film looks positively delightful. It’s bursting with bright color and imagination; everything you’d want in an animated film about a talking dragon. The premise also brings to mind other classic animated tales like
Aladdin. In addition to the dazzling visuals and heartwarming tale,
Wish Dragon has a super impressive voice talent. Check out the trailer below.
If that dragon voice sounds familiar, that’s because it’s John Cho. The beloved actor is also known for his work in the new
Ian Chen. This is also produced by
Jackie Chan (who may also have a voice cameo). I m sure there ll be a few more trailers soon.
