{"product_id":"0025192111556","title":"A Simple Wish","description":"This comic children's fantasy from director Michael Ritchie stars Mara Wilson as eight-year-old New Yorker Anabel, who wishes that her father Oliver (Robert Pastorelli), a hansom cab driver in Central Park, would see his dream come true. In a thinly veiled jab at the overblown stage productions of Andrew Lloyd Weber, Oliver aspires to be cast in the lead role in a new big-budget musical based on \u003ci\u003eA Tale of Two Cities\u003c\/i\u003e. Anabel's wish is received by Murray (Martin Short), the very first male fairy godmother, a bumbler who predictably botches the spell fulfilling Anabel's wish, turning Oliver into a statue instead. In order to reverse the mistake, Murray needs help from his union, the North American Fairy Godmothers Association (NAFGA), which is holding a convention in Manhattan. Enter Claudia (Kathleen Turner), a scheming former fairy godmother turned witch, who steals the attendees' magic wands, intending to use their magic in a bid for power. \u003ci\u003eA Simple Wish\u003c\/i\u003e (1997) was one of four films representing the initial slate of The Bubble Factory, a movie production house assembled by the theater world's Sheinberg family. Their other films were \u003ci\u003eThe Pest\u003c\/i\u003e (1997), \u003ci\u003eMcHale's Navy\u003c\/i\u003e (1997), and \u003ci\u003eFor Richer or Poorer\u003c\/i\u003e (1997).","brand":"UNIVERSAL STUDIOS HOME ENT.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47088205070576,"sku":"0025192111556","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/0025192111556_p0.jpg?v=1763784030","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/0025192111556","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
