Premise
True and her friends are embarking on their biggest journey yet! The gang are going on vacation to a faraway island by a castle-like cruise. And it was supposed to be the perfect day when suddenly, Glummy Glooma’s elder sister, Glummy-bella, starts taking over the island! Can True and her Wishes restore the island to its former glory?

Cast

 * Michela Luci as True, a strong heroine. True possesses a warm heart, a clever mind and boundless energy. She accepts every challenge head on with a beaming smile. What makes True “truly” extraordinary is that she is the only one in the Rainbow Kingdom who can activate the Wishes’ special powers that unleash magical energy. In the movie, she also has the ability to become a mermaid.
 * Jamie Watson as Bartleby, True’s funny cat sidekick. Bartleby has a lot of bravado and the gift of gab. Only True, his bestie, knows he is actually a bit of a scaredy-cat. He is one opinionated kitty and provides a lot of commentary, which helps trigger True’s creative problem solving skills.
 * Eric Peterson as the Rainbow King, the lovable ruler of the Rainbow Kingdom. He is a kind, sympathetic and humble king. Though he possesses a wealth of knowledge, he shares his wisdom in riddles adding fun complexity to True’s adventures. He will do anything to help True on her journey but he knows that “true” success is achieved when True solves problems all on her own.
 * Nicolas Aqui as Zee, True’s buddy, an apprentice to the Rainbow King, and the wish keeper. One or two years older than True, Zee is a trained “Wishologist”, which means he takes care of the Wishes and he knows all about their strengths and powers. Once a problem arises in the kingdom, True seeks out Zee’s advice and wish help in the Wishing Tree.
 * Lilly Bartlam as Grizelda, a self-centered young princess. Deep down she realizes she needs a friend like True. Although True tries to reach out to the Princess, Grizelda’s self-absorbed ways can make that challenging. However, love in Rainbow Kingdom is unconditional, so True never stops trying. Grizelda is just someone who’s a little selfish which only means she needs a little more love! Lilly replaces her sister Anna from the series.
