US actress Ariana DeBose said the heroine in Disney’s upcoming animated film Wish is about trying to make the world a better place rather than “trying to find her prince”.

The Academy Award winner, 32, led stars at the UK premiere of the musical-comedy at the Odeon Luxe in London’s Leicester Square on Monday, ahead of the film’s release on November 24.
