Is the movie A Simple Wish available on Netflix, Disney+, Prime or Apple TV+?
Here at Stream Tracker, we take a look at A Simple Wish (1997), a family fantasy about Murray, a male fairy godmother whose broken wand makes granting 8‑year‑old Anabel’s “simple wish” — that her cab‑driver father Oliver land the lead in a Broadway musical — far from straightforward. With fairy conventions gone awry and the wicked witches Claudia and Boots plotting trouble, the film blends slapstick magic and warm-hearted wishes. Curious if it’s streaming on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or Apple TV+? Below you'll find where to summon this nostalgic, spell‑filled comedy — note that it wasn’t a major awards contender, but it’s kept a soft spot in many viewers’ hearts.
Synopsis
Murray, a male fairy godmother, is bent on making eight-year-old Anabel’s simple wish come true: that her father Oliver, a tireless cab driver, will win the leading role in a Broadway musical. But Murray’s magic wand is broken, and with his power diminished the fairies’ annual convention faces a grave threat from the sinister witches Claudia and Boots. Racing against time, Murray must find a way to mend his magic and outsmart the witches before Anabel’s dream—and the fairies’ future—are snatched away.
