Disney didn’t want star boy to be the same as genie just because they both grant wishes, yet they give their animated female characters the same personality in every movie? Riddle me that Disney 😭
Star Boy could’ve served as a nice subtle reference to Genie (and also Peter Pan). It’s fitting for a movie that’s meant to celebrate 100 years of Disney.
They didn’t want Asha to have a love interest because, yknow, that makes weak women (sarcasm - women in love are a force to be reckoned with from my experience 😂)
Starboy is already successful as CONCEPTUAL ART, imagine if they had actually followed through with this idea. He would be Disney's "Jack Frost" in terms of fandom, I can see it.
I will NEVER not be upset that they DIDNT go with the concept art. Like- BRO. Shapeshifting star boy who’s Asha’s love interest, the VILLAIN couple. And so much more😭😭😭😭 like- bro
In fact, my so-called canon name for Starboy is Earendel because it means "morning star" or "dawn" and also most distant star of all cosmos as dawn symbolizes notions of hope and illumination which almost matched with Asha means "hope".
@@JyunaYT The funny thing is, they could've just had him shape-shifting into the little ball form whenever he's trying to stay low-key or not draw attention to Asha. That way you still have your cute, marketable mascot, but also give him a more complex design for when he's interacting with other characters. Shinigami in Rain Code (a detective game released last year) pretty much did this exact thing.
For the “king and queen want to bring back their child” idea, maybe bringing people back from the dead requires a lot of energy in the form of wishes? And then the two would grant a couple of less-fantastical wishes once every few months as they wouldn’t contain as much “wish energy” or whatever. I saw another comment talking about how Asha’s flaw could’ve been that she cares about others to the point of self-sacrifice, which would be a really interesting character arc! Having the contrast of a hero giving everything so fulfil the wishes of everyone except for herself versus villains who want to take others’ wishes for a selfish act would be pretty cool. Also having Asha, a character who doesn’t care about her own wishes, with star-boy who’s only wish us for her to take better care of herself would be a little cliche but still nice. Disney’s 100th anniversary piece should have a lot of cliches ngl it’s their whole thing
Broooo that's such a good idea!!! I would've loved to see that dynamic between Asha and Star (agree a lil cliche but I'm all for that)!! I guess the only thing remaining would be Star's character arc? 🤔 maybe he has his own wish but can't grant it because he's a star? idk hahahah but I already love him regardless haha
Or that Stars have rules just like Genies, and reversing Death itself breaks those rules, it could have been the child very clearly having something off about them without being creppy and letting the parents accept they're gone for good and need to move on, (And even adopt a bunch of kids bc they wish to be parents) It could be a good, gentle way to explain grief and loss to children as well as acceptance of things out of your control
@@zabirdy181 Using the villains evil plot to show their inability to accept death would be really interesting, especially because so many magic stories don’t go into much depth when it’s the villains trying to revive somebody
Ikr (BTW I haven't watched it yet I just know about alot of it do to videos like yours lol) I think its because they didn't want the star to just to solve all the problems espeally when communicated (tho they fudged up the problems any how) but there could be a very simple solution that can also solve the whole star doesn't have an excuse to stay with her problem.. and that is have star be a student. He has to help a human get their wish/goal without using magic to get to goal/wish. It also helps with a theme/lesson as well. Which is work for your wishes to come true. Magic is just a short cut and working towards it can help you meet people, learn lessons, and have fun along the way to that goal. Can't you tell I'm writing my own vision of wish before watching it?
I wish that disney makes a new version of "wish" with the originals ideas. Let's do what Snyder fans do and make a move for Disney to release another version of wish with the original ideas.
They missed such a golden opportunity to get inspiration from Shakespeare's Macbeth. The king could have been benevolent at first, but the queen could have manipulated him slowly, playing on his temper, convincing him he has to hunt Asha and the boy, using dark magic from the book. He could have been reluctant at first, but slowly giving in to greed, pride and vengeance. By using the book more and more the royal couple could have release a dangerous sorcerer who turns them into puppets and starts a reign of terror- causing the same destruction that ruined Magnitico's home. In the end, Asha and the boy coild have saved Magnifico, leaving Amaya to be consumed by the book as they both vanish... Just an idea.
oh man I can't even remember the last female villain from disney. maybe Rapunzel's mother? but I really like your idea!! I like how Magnifico became the monster he once sworn to protect people from!!
Nope still have magnifico sucked into the mirror and the queen survive, but banished.. She finds the book and becomes the evil queen and takes the mirror with her to keep her beloved close.
@@Carrionangel8911 Oooohhhh, sequel potential!!! We find out that Amaya was hiding on another island and she was practicing magic with the power of the mirror. The queen returns when she is ready, steals Star's 'wish' magic ( it appears as the little glowing ball like the movies) and tries to use it to bring Magnifico back. The point of the story being that you don't need magic, to be special, or to be powerful to be a hero
i'm seriously considering writing a fic on ao3 with a plot similar to this. the king and queen will have a morticia and gomez dynamic, exepct that they're yk evil, and asha will be their daughter who's been sheltered her entire life and doesn't know about the people's suffering. since she didn't really have any flaws in the movie i was thinking she could have trouble with accepting that her parents are evil and be very defensive when it comes to them. she'll encounter star boy when she's away from the kingdom and they will help her realize what's really going on while also falling in love with each other in the process. i was thinking that the magic the king and queen use for the whole wish thing could be powered by the people's faith in them and when that starts failling, they'll capture star boy and try to use their magic for it instead. this would make asha finally accept that they're evil and then she'll go save star boy and the kingdom, this idea isn't fully developed yet so there will probably be a few changes to the plot here and there.
For Star it would be a great story to see him as a very hopeful, optimistic positive person because he doesn't know reality. And seeing him learn about it (then denial, followed by sadness) and then learning that, despite the hardships, it is important to never lose hope, would make a typical Disney message + is an interesting story.
I would have liked to see the queen character (Amaya, was it?) if she played the Lady Macbeth role, encouraging/pushing her husband into villainous acts with either love and support or manipulation and insults to his ego.
I like this idea and I don't know how she could become a great Villain like Magnifico when he discovered and learned all on the forbkdden book and yeah I think she could talk about thieves, everyone is really evil, dangerous for them and not one of Rosa's in habitants is honest and brave.
I have some ideas: The first change is with Asha who is now the Princess of Rosas and daughter of King Magnifico and Queen Amaya who is turning 18 at the beginning and will be performing her first Wish Ceremony in place of her father. In this version, she’s still very kind and good, but she’s also very shy and introverted with an elegant air but not a lot of self-confidence since all her life, her parents have told her that as the princess she must be a good girl and do as she’s told. She still has magic though and still wants to use it for the good of Rosas but after learning the dark truth, she has to realize that doing what’s right sometimes means standing up those you love. Magnifico and Amaya are similar in their evilness, but they do genuinely love each other and Asha. Their motivations are mainly rooted in paranoia of losing their newfound power and their perfect kingdom falling apart like their home did a century ago. Back then they were good and generous people and Magnifico in particular loved granting wishes to anyone who asked until one day he granted the seemingly simply of wish of an evil person, who used his powers to steal and rob the people of their village. They were forced to flee but made a wish for a new home which would become Rosas. Despite this they fear losing their home and power which comes in the form of Starboy. Starboy in this is named Earendel and he is a very young wishing star who is still learning to control his wishing magic. He is mischievous and kind of childishly cruel at times, who in the beginning looks down on humans and grants wishes just because he can without rhyme or reason. However as the film goes on, he begins to genuinely care about the humans of Rosas and slowly falls in love with Asha and her with him. In the end, he sacrifices his own life to save Rosas but is resurrected by a kiss from Asha.
omg!!! you gave AN ACTUAL REASON for king Magnifico's reluctance in granting everybody's wishes!! it would've added so much depth to his character. I also like how Earendel is "childishly cruel" haha I love your version!! and it ends as a classic love story like the Disney we used to love! Brilliant! 💚💚💚💚💚
@@JyunaYTThank you! If they give Magnifico a backstory, it should have some effect on how he is in the present story. I thought it would be interesting to show that after what happened, he became so paranoid that he forgot why wishes and dreams are important. As for Earendel, he's supposed to be a reference to Peter Pan in that way. He's not evil but sometimes he can be insensitive and arrogant in his actions but starts to become more empathetic and understanding as he gets to know Asha.
In my headcanon, Star Boy can shapeshift into various types of animals and things including the cute ball of Star so that Disney can do merchandise on both the ball of Star and StarBoy. Asha's "care too much" can be expanded on as a "People Pleaser" in which she cares others so much that she neglects her own feelings and needs hence the wishes. As for the King and Queen, both are traumatized from past experiences that now affects on who they are now, but both have room to be good again. Also, they are both Asha's parents. There's so many possibilities.
Omg, ive literally done the same thing for a rewrite from everything you said. With mine, the king and queen understand about bad wishes, so they balance it out with helping the people out with them. Asha is plucky, energetic, carefree, and kind, helping out with everything and everyone, but this leads her to not have any time to herself, which secretly stresses her out, but doesn't show it, making her friends and family to worry about her. She's also a go getter, stubborn, and always stands for basically anyone who needs help. But after she barely avoids getting captured by the villain that both her and Aster's parents have been fighting with since they were small, she realizes what it really means to be afraid and helpless, and slowly become kinda introverted, and becomes cautious, something shes never really felt before. Aster and her friends and family are able to help her out, leading her to understand that you can live a balanced life of not having only one side of your personality and that its ok to be scared and vulnerable sometimes
In my version of wish, asha is the daughter of the king and the queen. So like… a literal princess. And so something I think could be a good character arc for her is that when she’s on the run from her parents and stuff, she isn’t used to not getting what she wants when she wants it. Ya know, all the spoiled child things every princess has. So asha has to realize that she’s not perfect and neither are her parents. Stuff like that. It’s not a fully formed idea.
that could've definitely been explored!! I also thought about making Asha the queen and king's daughter!! i think it would've been the first disney princess whose parents are villains haha would've been interesting to see. 💚
The reason I made this be the story because it’ll also give a reason to be appalled at King Magnifico and The Queens actions My idea was that she actually found starboy in the dungeon of the castle on her coronation in a way (reason why she even went down was because she accidentally stumbled inside wanting to escape from everyone due to her feeling very overwhelmed or something similar to that) She is very cautious around him but she finds out the reason why he’s down there which is for king magnifico to extract his powers to grant the wishes in a way that’s why he would only grant 1 to 2 wishes a month… So she helps him escape and they go on a trip together so Asha can try and bring him back to his home in the sky Shenanigans happens, Asha’s friends get dragged in to help, and eventually they do start catching feelings for each other though they might not notice it 🤷♀️ king magnifico and the queen do find out about this and are enraged because basically the kingdom is starting to catch on about them not granting any wishes and questioning their true power (if it shows rhey actually dont grant wishes theyll be seen as frauds and chased out the kingdom and go back to being poor which they dont want) so they disguise their quest to find back starboy (and potentially get more vessels) by them telling them that their precious princess Asha was kidnapped by a "demon" the ending is iffy but they do get caught and the villains either A. manipulate Asha in a way to believe that starboy was only taking advantage of her to run away and with that taking away the magic which built the kingdom in a way (i made her slightly naive because she was raised sheltered) or B. They put on a concerned front and pretend they were ignorant of everything and tell Asha to go back while they bring Starboy back to his home Either way she’s manipulated and when she catches on she’s about too late and the villains drain Starboy of his power and since they are the entrance to where all the other star people live they also start draining their magic as well Asha comes and narrowly stops them from what they are doing clearly distraught and breaks the staff which the collect the star power from releasing back the magic to all that were stolen but by the time she reaches Starboy its a little too late and he’s like fading and with an act of true love (confession not the kiss cause apparently that’s controversial) he is brought back to life giving homage to all the other Disney princess movies (think similar to the beauty and the beast true love scene) There also will be a proper dress transformation blah blah blah Villains get arrested and tortured throughout eternity with the ramblings of the sidekick they pushed aside with Asha visiting them at times to give them updates cause yk they are her parents and Asha will be queen! Starboy does go back to where he lives cause it is a danger for him to stay in the human world for long and yk he still misses all the family he’s been ripped apart from (he was taken from his home by the villains when he was 6) but every once in a while him and Asha will meet at the halfway point and go on dates And with this it gives a happy ending but also opens possibilities to sequels if Disney ever wants one where the plot preferably won’t retcon the whole canon Sorry for the essay 😅
You missed the platypus. Edit: For Asha’s flaw of “I care too much” we should see what that means. Does she care too much for other people and not putting her own desires first? That’s one direction you could have gone.
yeah i agree! the "i care too much" could be a weakness depending on context. i guess the problem was that she didn't have a wish for herself so we didn't get to see if she puts others first or not
@@JyunaYT like a people pleaser? Like that can cause people to take advantage of your kindness and can be quite stressful and unhealthy. So it’s okay to say ‘no’ and put yourself first. Like self care is important too. And maybe it would be fine if Asha wanted something for herself for once in which Star Boy would help her to achieve and figure out. But Asha doesn’t become selfish, she just learns the importance of self care but is still self sacrificing.
@@JyunaYT Okay, in the art book, they share other possible designs for the Star character, and one of them is a Platypus. I swear, hand to God, I am not making this up.
Almost sixty to seventy percent? More like at least eighty to ninety percent of the “Wish” “fandom” wishes that “Disney” used the original concept art for the movie, instead of what we got.
9:52 what if they think by having so many wishes they’ll be able to summon a star or get enough power (given wishes are power in Disney) to bring their child back? Given like genie says “you can’t wish the death alive” but they could will it with the “will” of everyone at their disposal. But each dream didn’t seem that genuine or strong enough. And that’s where Asha comes in. Her unwavering will despite her being fear and unfocused is what they need. A will and determination strong enough to fight and the care to even give your life to the ones you love (Easter egg to Hercules movie) is what they would need to fight the rule of death. It would’ve been dark yet fun.
oooooooo interesting!! it would've been nice to see disney make something a little darker for once! Villains that are willing to destroy's everyone's dreams if it meant they could fulfill their own wish and are willing to do anything to get past the rule of death! aghhh actual villains!! would've been fun
Or if they did succeed, their child does come back, however, their child ends up fading away and says “I can’t stay. My time has come so Im not meant to be here. Not anymore. You must carry on without me.” So the parents beg their child not to go but as their child starts ascending, he says his final words “I will always love you mom and dad” and then he fades away entirely. The parents are devastated, like nothing matters anymore. So Asha, feeling sadness and empathy for the heartbreak of the parents, steps in and tells them they have to move on for their child’s sake and reassured them that they’ll always be with them. And their child is part of something beautiful. He’s a star. Always looking down and watching them. Their child won’t be able to rest in peace and be happy unless they move on. Of course, they’re always going to be sad their child is gone, and they’ll always miss them, but they learn to cope and move on. And they must atone for their misdeeds since that would honor their child and make them happy. Maybe they can’t be let off the hook very easily and still need to answer for their crimes before they’re officially redeemed which would take a while, but it’s a start.
@@ashebennett7726 honestly I imagine it like that. The plot would be how wishes can’t just be brought upon a star and how is both your desire and action that can make your wish come true (aka make it true). And the plot would be Asha learning about dreams and how is okay to be a dreamer and solve how the king and queen are able or are making wishes true for people (even if is a few) and what is making them able to do so (evil magic, maybe reference the maleficent magic on it). Or is how I imagine it. I wanna think the kid was Asha’s friend and her true wish is to not be alone. As she lost her only friend (prince/princess whatever) and hasn’t gotten over it and used everything to essentially avoid the pain. Maybe the kid dying by trying to wish on something and it went wrong (say fly or even to be strong but got killed by an animal or so) and is why Asha doesn’t believe in them. With star boy showing her that dreams are okay Sorry for the long answer I’m just hyperfixiating badly
I imagine if the King and Queen were both villains, they would be like Jessie and James from Pokemon-- they're the bad guys, but you still love it when they're on screen. Just give them a talking-animal sidekick and we've got the Team Rocket of Disney! Also, Star Boy could have been the next Disney Prince and I will forever be disappointed that he was scrapped. 😔
oh hahah that would be so fun! they could also change the king and queen's palette to give a more cartoony vibe? white was kinda boring ngl and yeah they were supposed to have a cat in the movie! he was scrapped out too tho T-T would've been the perfect Team Rocket!! and we'll forever grieve over the Disney Prince who never even had the chance to come to life 😭😭
03:21 - 03:32 This is *extremely* ironic to me because the 1st thing I thought when I saw King Magnifico was that he was like a genie who was sick and tired to keep granting wishes non-stop without ever getting a thank you.
You art is so pretty! I just followed you on Instagram and Twitter/X. I wish they could use the consept art in a sequel. For example: "The Star returns because it misses Asha and this time take the form of a human boy. Asha introduse him for the queen and it makes the queen wants to visit her husband the king in the dungeoun in secret. She misses him and then choose to use the magic evil book to free him from the staff and that's how they become the evil couple while Asha and Star have to defeat them."
hey!! thanks for following me haha and yeah!! i suppose they're likely not gonna make a remake, so i guess a good sequel would be nice!! and it would make sense for the queen to miss her husband, they were married for many years, after all! you have a good idea of making a "remake" that's gonna be called a sequel haha
wHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT HOW THE CONCEPT ART FOR THE EVIL COUPLE HAS A CAT IN IT?? evil couple with an EVIL PET that could brawl the GOAT. how BOMB would that be???
The "biggest flaw is that you care too much" was a joke about what people say when they're asked about flaws. Unfortunately they didn't actually show us her flaws so it just doesn't go over well
Maybe the reason that they’re evil is because they want wishes all to themselves and they don’t want to share and maybe Starboy wants to help her because Starboy got too close to the truth, and the king turned him into a star
ooooooooo that's interesting!!!! star could've been the king's apprentice before being turned into a star!! it would kind of be a story of trying to bring Star back haha
@@JyunaYT maybe he was trying to warn Asha before she came to the king, and they both went on the journey to try to stop the king from stealing more wishes
The thing I don't understand...if they wanted this to be a "tribute" movie, then having similarities LIKE SHAPESHIFTING could've been a WONDERFUL tribute. He could've shapeshifted into anything that Maui or Genie had as just a nod to their movies. I'm just so flabbergasted at the choices they made for this movie.
I believe you got the shrek analogy from @NoTheRobot I saw their short too, using shrek was a great example of a better written character flaw and story arc. Shrek was trying to get what he wanted to find out what he actually needed. He wanted to be left alone in his swamp but what he needed was love and acceptance. Meanwhile Asha states what she wanted and gets what she wants, no character changes, no flaws, nothing that really makes her rememberable and interesting.
oh yeah thanks!! someone mentiones it was from his short, and i forgot to credit him in the description 😅 but yeah it's ironic how Shrek did better haha
If I had to rewrite the motivations for Magnifico and Amaya, my proposal would be this: They're not the original ruling couple of the kingdom, they usurped the original ruling family (Asha's family) and the wishes they store actually contain all the memories of those who would have been able to remember it. That and/or the wishes are what they draw their power from. When Asha applies to be the apprentice of them, they begin to suspect that she's the lost daughter of the former king and queen and they take her on as apprentice to monitor her thinking she could still be useful. When Star enters the picture, they worry he will restore the memories of the people and thus reveal that they aren't who they say they are. Thus Asha and Star begin their quest to return the wishes and memories of the people and in the process have it revealed to Asha that she's actually a princess. Not my best proposal but I wanted to try to keep consistency with the use of wishes in this movie.
The concept art looked so good like Star had a human form and was Asha’s love interest and both Magnifico and Amaya were evil. This is my personal rewrite Asha would be Magnifico and Amaya’s actual daughter and so she grew up thinking that keeping the wishes was the right thing. I would also make her personality more similar to Elsa and Mulan rather than Rapunzel and Anna. She’s smart and serious but also stubborn. (Little nitpick but I would also change her design to look more like her concept art. She would have her natural hair out and her color palette more orange and red. When I think purple I think Rapunzel and Isabella.) Magnifico I would go the sympathetic route since it honestly works better for him. I would make that due to a traumatic experience he’s now a very paranoid man who truly just wants to keep everyone safe and he picks wishes that he deems best for everyone. Amaya would also be traumatized but instead of focusing on wishes she focuses on appearance. Like she wants her family to look good to the kingdom so that they don’t question them and believe that they’re all safe. The seven friends could be people who work around the castle and Asha then helps them throughout the story. I also like the betrayal but I like to imagine that Simon has a crush on Asha so he wants to be the greatest knight in order to hopefully impress her.
hmm true!! I like purple on Asha, but orange and red would suit too! Would've been interesting to see Amaya participating more in the story, keeping the appearances while the King practices evil sorcery to help his wife and kigdom! and I agree, Simon's betrayal was totally out of nowhere 😂
Lo de Amaya me recordó a la abuela alma madrigal. Lo de Simón. También me gustó la traición, de verdad no me lo hubiera esperado. Y que estubiera enamorado de Asha 😮😃 tanto drama da para una serie, no cabe en una película.
Star: Asha, I understand your wish. I- I can't grant it. Everyone's wish is different, they contradict each other. However, your father's wish was granted, he had you. When one dream die others will take its spot.
Magnifico and Amaya would have been the FIRST evil power couple. They are both in love with each other and loyal to one another. They use the magic they acquire from hording the wishes to fuel their own power, sharing it with each other. They were also to be the evil couple contrast to the good couple of Asha and Star.
Apparently Star Boy was meant to be mute, which is an interesting and concept and good for diversity. I'm very convinced though from listening to the demo version of "At All Costs" that it was originally meant as a Disney love song for Asha and Star. It could have worked as an internal love duet, e.g. *Can You Feel the Love Tonight* from *The Lion King*, *Something There* from *Beauty and the Beast* and the first half of *I See The Light* from *Tangled*. That or they could have worked out some way Star singing with Asha without needing to talk (unless he *does* learn to speak at the end somehow much like Tack in some versions of *The Thief and the Cobbler*), e.g. he communicates with Asha telepathically or he uses his magic to find some way to sing to her. Either way, I definitely believe *At All Costs* would have been *so* much better as a Disney Love song. Who do you imagine playing the singing voice of Star?
9:49 the first thing that came to my head was that he became the king by using his sorcery or deceit to get to the top and become king maybe act loyal to the old late king and then u know a scene when he’s alone with the king before he died evil laughing knowing he’ll be the next king with his evil queen. Then when he is king he wants even more power that kinda concept where it will never be enough and so he asks people to give their wishes to him and the whole concept that these wishes come from the heart so it’s kind of their magic given to him and instead of granting any of those wishes he and the evil queen uses them to make their own magic and powers stronger. Asha would probably find this injustice of the king stealing the people own power through maybe a crack in the door and this part a bit much but she could be like the daughter of the late king and didn’t take over the kingdom because she is too young or wasn’t in the will. When she finds this out she does what her dad says to do when all is lost/hopeless and wishes on a star. In this version her character is more goal oriented maybe she works to hard and even though they are the rulers they make asha do the work around the kingdom and star is the one to help her and has his own goals at the end that yes he likes granting wishes but he wants to stay on earth forever I’m not really sure 🤷♀️
3:52 better phrased “some writer said they will be shipped and is not as shocking meme worthy if she has a potential love interest cause god forbid we have different gender main protagonists not be in a relationship” I think this movie was very f up by Disney wanting to pander to the Disney fans and not to an audience. Wanting to please the hardcore fans and not something that would be even analyzed by artists and writers for longer. Who cares if the ending and beginning is the same as many? We go to see a feel good happy story about a pretty lady having an important moment. Who cares if is “generic”? Life is generic. All they had to do is make something fun. That’s it. No one cares if is not some super writing masterpiece. Heck Disney og stories were generic but the art helped set them apart by the clever animation and art. Is why many study the books made by Disney animators. I feel sad for the designers. They were robbed
I agree!! they just needed to make something fun and magical!!! that's what they were known for for years!! star was fun and magical and they discarted him cuz they thought they'd make more money by selling star ball merch 😭 and yeah!! it's cliche that the MC gets together with the opposite gender love interest but so many people like me still love to see it!
I honestly think that Magnifico would be the redemable villain that would team up with Asha and Star Boy to take down the evil Queen. In my version either Star Boy (when he was a kid, he grants a wish that harms maginifco's village that was ransacked by theives) or the Queen was plotting to take down Rosas from the inside, manipulating Magnifico to turn "evil" since she was once apart of the theives that ransacked his villaged and possibly killed everyone, except for magnifico. idk I love ur art and the story you created!! Im now trying to rewrite it too and having a difficulty with the "wishes" part because of how BAD it was in the film lol. Anyway, what I got so far, Asha is the kings apprentice since she is the daughter of the king and wants to learn how to do magic to benifit the people of Rosas and on the plus side, it would help her become the next wish granter/leader of rosas. But she is not very good at it magic or at leading a group of people. She doesn't understand how leading works and becomes less and less confident because of it. I do want in a montoge of Asha helping around Rosas to show more of her personality where she is quiet and reserved but more than read to help her people and showing her care. It would also show her desire to become more confident in herself and longing for someone to understand her since not a lot of people besides Magifico understands the stress of becoming something like him. Later in the Film, Magnifico and or the Queen then shows her what she would do when she becomes the next wish granter (I think it would be like at 30 minutes into the film so we have time to flesh out our characters more in a spam of months than a few hours. And would establish a close relatinship she has with her father than her mother. PLUS, I think there would be a spell that would seem like everyone is happy, but in reality they are miserible without their wishes). They show her that they grant wishes that aren't good for the people of Rosas. Like murder and the ect. But they do it because the ones that are deemed safe or good actually give them more power in magic than the ones that aren't safe. Asha, horrified by this revelation tries to talk down Magnifico, but the Queen interviens saying to Magnifico that he is more experience than some lowly magician. What does she know what is good for the kingdom than them? So the king tells her to get out of the tower. (I dont think he bans her from the kingdom, I feel like he needed to be alone to do some thinking) Asha wonders around the kingdom, seeing through the seemingly "happy place" but knowing the truth, she is able to see though the spell the king casted on his people and seeing them so miserable just makes Asha upset. Asha runs off into the forest, but wonders a bit too far. When she comes to an opening she wishes on a star to "give her and her people a chance to persue their desires". Its more direct and more understandable than "to want something more than this". Star Boy is the opposite of Asha. He is more confident, extroverted, and overall could be a leader. It is something Asha wants to be. Star Boy is basically the spark in Asha to take down the king and queen. I think there would be a really cute moment where Star Boy is shocked of the world Asha lives in which in turn slowly has Star Boy getting a desire to be with Asha since she would technecally be the first person he has ever been friends with. So in this sweet senerio, they are the both the sparks in each other. Which would also would have them fall in love B) Im not sure what the middle part would be, but I dont want the King to IMMEDIETLY hunt down Star. Yes, he is a threat to magnifico, but I feel like he would first want to know their intentions rather than mindlessly attacking without reason. *I'm looking at you Wish. I GOT MY EYE. ON. YOU.* And I do want a part where they find or see Magnifico's home. Which would be a reason for both to talk down the king and try to convince him to give back the wishes. I also want Star Boy to be able to see people's desires, which would give Magnifico a much needed redemtion arc. The fight would be kinda the same since I did kinda like that part. But the part where the king is in the mirror is just tragic. So that is not there anymore. Still in the works tbh. And sorry it is long, I had made a 30 minute rant on the trailer, and I do wanna fix it because I realized some things after watching the movie, but I wont since I wanna watch it as many times to make me go insane heheh
there's a lot of possibilities that comes with the "wish" system. I like how you made it!! it's like the purest and most kindest wishes are the ones that give true power, because it's made out of selflessness and love
I love the idea of Asha being the adopted daughter of the king and queen and having to fight back against her evil parents, which I've seen in several other videos. Still loved this video!
Could It be possible if Disney remakes the movie with Starboy and a power-hungry King and Queen originally if the outcry for it is large enough and or a petition is made ? (Even though somehow it's a box office success and one of the highest grossing movies of 2023)
Sadly, I don’t think petitions work. A remake would be great because everybody loves the concept art a lot more than what we got. The majority is just disappointed. It would be great if our wishes were granted fr. Not to mention, we never get a villainous couple which would’ve been so much fun!!! They had this handed to us, practically gifted wrapped for us, and just tossed it in the fireplace while dousing it more with gasoline. And when’s the last time we got a protagonistic Disney couple (other than elemental which also flopped)? Star boy would’ve been so cool and the song, At All Cost, would’ve made so much more sense (because that’s what the song was originally about between Asha and Starboy). But hey, we got fanfiction at least. Not as good as what we could’ve gotten but it’s…..something.
I have this idea that I believe could have worked in the film & that would be to incorporate this lesser known story about a prince who wanted to know fear. Star boy could be this character who doesn't know fear and wants to find it because it's something he's very curious about. Asha's character flaw and her start of the story could be that she's absolutely terrified of everything. She could make a wish about overcoming her fears, thus getting connected to Star Boy this way. Then, the rest of the film is about Star helping Asha overcome her fears while he's trying to understand and find what frightens him by seeing what frightens Asha. Star is otherworldly, so he should also have these superhuman abilities besides shape shifting, and perhaps that's part of why he doesn't understand fear. He's seemingly too powerful to see anything as a threat. The king & queen could be motivated to absorb Star's powers for their own use. So they want to capture him or are draining him of power by some means; Star could have maybe believed it was impossible for him to be drained of his magic, so he's reckless with using it and doesn't care the king & queen are siphoning his magic. He's also using hid powers to grant others of their wishes in reckless abandon, not understanding the consequences of his actions. Then, when the evil couple strikes to capture or kill Star, he realizes he was wrong and has gotten weaker (both magically + physically). The castle could be in ruins during the big conflict, maybe people are trapped in rubble and Star struggles to help (I'm thinking of the scene where Hercules is trying to lift the colonnade off Meg, or when he frees the two boys trapped under the hydras' cave). The king or queen tries to finish off Star boy, but Asha puts herself in the way and is presumably killed/dying. This brave act of love also strikes fear in Star (he's watching her die & he's scared to lose her), but it also motivates him more in the conflict. After defeat of the evil couple, Star could return to Asha and hold her tight as he cries over her death, but then Asha could whisper, "I scared you, didn't I?" Turning the grief and mourning into joy. Things are given balance, and Star has a new outlook on his wish granting responsibilities. The kingdom is restored, and a new ruler is set in place (either Asha or someone else). At the end of the story, Star is given the choice to go home or stay on earth (again, similarities to Hercules) & he makes his decision. And we get a happy ending from there.
I think a major reason why Disney decided to go with the star-ball rather than a human character is because it is significantly cheaper and easier to animate a moving ball rather than a human. Disney has been struggling financially lately and is a pretty cheap company overall in recent years.
Thank you for bringing up Mayura and Hawkmoth! That show had a golden opportunity to tango with that arch and bring in some real depth when it came to their relationship and teamwork and they preferred to go down the "mad with power/deus ex kill me to keep my son from knowing what a bad dad I am" route instead of actually doing anything. It feels like a lot of movies and shows have great concepts but are either afraid to explore it or have no idea how to execute it.... I would love more villain couples!
I completely agree! Evil royal couple would’ve been so original. What a waste 😭 and talking about evil couples I just couldn’t help but think of miraculous lol
I saw an animatic where star started as a star and then asha kissed the star and he turned into a boy (a little reference to princess and the frog) and that was such a cute idea!!!
They could’ve kept the concept art and add this little star ball as a side kick to Star boy as well as adding him to be mute rather than talk it would’ve been so cute
In my version, the couple worked together to give wishes to their perfect kingdom and in the process take the future dreams of others out of their kingdom and from their ally kingdoms (magical contract or something). Aisha sees something wrong and starboard comes out happy but then explains his powers are running out due to their evil ways depleting his magic. Then they get friends and help each other out, climax was to make the couple look like they win then starboy gets his wish come true since for some rule (he cant just make it himself). He gives up his power and The couple can’t use his powers anymore so then their banished and aisha rules the kingdom with Starboy.
I dunno, I like the idea of Asha discovering she was the villain all along. Like, Magnifico had good reasons for not granting any wish and the people were offered their wishes back, but refused them if they couldn't get them granted because it was easier than failure or accepting their loss. So, she thwarts Magnifico and his wife and begins granting wishes, only to discover that vague and poorly thought wishes cause chaos, and many wishes are self-serving or contradictory. In the end, she has to realize humility and patience, and that maybe she didn't 'care too much', that that description was self-serving. Maybe Magifico and his wife had once wished for a perfect daughter (Asha), and found out too late the ramifications of wishing a life into existence on Earth. Star could be her brother is Disney didn't want a love interest, maybe he can't tell her until she discovers it herself because of the wish.
the Miraculous reference made me so happy lol. my profile picture clearly shows i’m a fan; though, honestly, i can’t believe that Gabe x Nathalie is the closest thing we have to an evil couple. like, Gabe’s so unwilling to let go of his wife that he isn’t letting himself have a relationship with Nathalie, though they are (or were) so obviously in love. too late now, i suppose. 😒
when i listened to the At All Costs demo, it made me think of two parents singing to their child as a kind of lullaby to help them sleep. perhaps it could’ve been the song the king and queen sung to their child before they lost him/her, showing just how much they loved their child.
What a load! They made Asha’s friends like the Seven Dwarves, yet draw the line on Star being a shapeshifting Starboy because they’re afraid he would be like the Genie.
I wonder if they should reanimate this movie if that’s more satisfying like redesign star into a boy meaning they would have to rewrite the plot if Disney could do that it would make 100 years more entertaining
A good flaw that I think it could make to the final, even better with the idea that Asha wanted to be a sorcerer, is her being a perfectionist. And it even adds to her personality on the concepts where the original Asha was more reserved and serious, the opposite to star boy. Like, it could be a real thing between her and the goal to ba a sorcerer, like, maybe she doesn't believe on herself bc she still sees micro flaws on her studies.
HELPPP you naming Gabriel and Natalie as the only Disney villain couple you could think of had me rolling on the floor 😂 and I agree, Star Boy should have been there. Petition to have Disney remake Wish and BRING BACK STAR BOI
These are my favourite redraws of the Wish concept art I've seen so far! I love all of them- and you actually gave Asha the magical dress transformation we were robbed of in the movie.
Can you imagine Asha asking Star where he is from if he has a family and he says of course and points up 👆 and says “the sky is my home and all the stars are my brothers and sisters”
Ok. Hear me out. Asha lives in this seemingly very peaceful kingdom, ruled by a very powerful wizard couple, said to be able to grant any wish each month if you are worthy enough. Since she encountered the King a few months/years ago, she gave up her dreams to him for it to be granted later. She then lived a boring but happy life, carefree, but feeling like something was mising. Each month she attends the ceremony in hope to be granted her wish in vain, each time she comes home demoralized, but the next day hopeful she'll get it the next time. It goes on and on, until one day her grandpa which she was very close to (a father figure) dies without ever having been granted his wish, causing her to doubt whether she would get hers. After all, behind the mask, everyday she struggles to get up, nothing meant anything anymore since she gave her dream away), but she has to keep on, she has to beleive that one day her life changing wish would be granted, not that she would remember it, but she has to beleive. That's what she's been told her whole life : One day, it will all be worth it. It's not the first time someone died without knowing their forgotten dreams in the kingdom, but she's always felt sad about it. As she rummages through the stuff she and her grandpa shared since her childhood, she finds a trinket, something she had forgotten about, but had something she promised her grandpa to do with. Asha studies it long into the night, having completelly forgotten what the promise was about, but wishes about fullfilling it. Thing is, under the stars, her newly-born dream calls upon a star to fall. Yep, it's Starboy, who completely didn't expect to be summoned, hells, he though that was only a legend his star-people told because people stopped call upon them eons ago (because King Magifico and the Queen basically stored away everyone wishes) but in order to ascend back, he has to grant the wish of the person, well easy enough, just needs to be told, but again, Asha's wish is unknown to herself (note : There are a few rules a Starling cannot grant : they cannot influence another person's desires, go back in time and they cannot undo death, which Asha asked for). So Starboy who wishes to go back home accompanies Asha in her quest to find her memories back, discovering feelings for each others along the way, leading them to investigate on the King and Queen's whereabout and why they don't grant everyone's wishes, which has Starboy suspicious about. Turns out, the King and Queen were never... Wizards. They never had the power to grant wishes. They managed to shackle a Starling centuries ago, when he/she came to them when they wished to bring back their child back. When the Starling couldn't grant their wish, they've emprisonned it forced him/her to use the celestial's powers again and again, to grant their wishes over and over for themselves instead of letting it ascend back to the stars. People forgetting about their dreams was them forcefeeding the Starling to avoid letting him/her deperish without the connection to the stars' magic so it can keep granting wishes over and over, power, riches, staying young and other... Since they couldn't affect their subjects directly, each month they would continue to feed hope on people about granting their wishes, but the ones they reward the people with were never the dreams people entrusted them, these are gone, instead they give what people think may give them happiness, but never what they truly lost. Asha and Starling free the Starling, expose the evilness of the King and Queen to the kingdom and finally defeat them with Asha wishing to Starboy to send them somewhere they will never hurt anyone again. Since Asha's wish got granted by banishing the evil royal couple, she cannot use one to remember the promise to her grandpa, nor the things she's forgotten, nor the other people's dreams. The Kingdom is devastated that the memories will never be recovered, but people will heal over time. Starboy's duty done, he must go home with the other Starling, Asha and him cry, because they'll probably never see each other again, Starboy admits his feelings for her, saying that she made him do something a Starling's never done before : He started to dream for himself , that he could stay with her. That's when the saved Starling approaches Starboy, telling him that they can grant his wish of staying, but that he will never be able to come back home again, that it'll make him fully human. He accepts, loses all his magical abilities, his hair stops glowing etc... Epiloque : both are happily annoying each oter like a nice healthy couple as the kingdom gets rebuilt, people started building their own dreams again. All ends good. That's it, I want to see this in a frickin movie now, what do you think ?
I love that you brought up Shrek's character arc because yes, he has a way better character arc than Asha. Funny how Dreamworks can write better protagonists twenty years ago (and even today with Puss in Boots the Last Wish) than freaking DISNEY. Also your art is so pretty! Asha and the Queen look beautiful and Star Boy looks so cute!!
maybe it could be something like this asha could be the real princess and one day a couple of wizards arrived in the kingdom and somehow tricked the former king and queen and stole their throne and the star boy could be the secret behind their power and At some point he escapes and disguises himself in a human form and so he ends up meeting Asha and they both feel a connection with each other for sharing this feeling of something being taken from them even though asha has no memories of her past, and they have to face the king and queen and gradually get to know each other. better and maybe the star boy needed to contain his power so as not to be found and Asha ends up finding out about her past but no one opposes the king and queen because they tell everyone that they have much more to offer and so on (I know that It's cliche and kind of bad but maybe I'll try to do something with it) 😅
Thank you for bringing it up I don't know why they were so worried about starboy being similar to the genie the genie was adored If they didn't write no one would give a s*** that Are similar
Instead of having Amaya teaming with Magnifico,I would’ve preferred a backstabber Amaya,like she teams with Asha so that when she’s queen she’d be evil herself so that she can be the girl boss she is,and maybe if they wanted a good ending that could make opportunity for a sequel and the whole movie would be 10x better
I really can't understand why Magnifico is supposed to be the villain. He founded Rosas on an uninhabited island, took in refugees from all over the world without discrimination, provided for them, collected no taxes, and allowed anyone, regardless of status, to petition him for one wish. He doesn't even lie to people to get their wishes. He flat out tells them that they'll forget their wishes after they are given to him, but that he'll protect them, which he does. It's a pretty good deal. You either get what you want or you stop wanting something you can’t have. That's win-win. We're supposed to see him as unreasonable for not granting Sabino's wish, but Sabino wished to mind control an entire generation. He didn't want to be a great musician. He wanted to "inspire the next generation." He also didn't specify what he wanted to inspire people to do, but even if he had, he was asking Magnifico to use his magic to compel people to be inspired by him. That's evil. A lot of wishes we see have similar pitfalls, like the lady who wanted the "perfect nanny." Granting that wish would necessitate turning somebody into a slave to that woman. We actually see what happens when he grants one of these types of wishes when it comes to Simon, who wanted to be "the most loyla knight." He gets brainwashed because it is literally impossible to grant his wish without brainwashing him. Magnifico was right. Everything we see him do is to protect Rosas and its people. Even when he turns to the book, it is out of concern for others. When we see him contemplating using it for the first time, he is staring at the burnt tapestry from his homeland and vowing not to let what happened their happen to Rosas. His reaction to Star's presence isn’t even unjustified. He's the only magic user in Rosas, and suddenly, there was an incredibly powerful magical presence even greater than his own. Of course, he'd perceive that as a threat. Star invaded his kingdom while armed with the power to destroy it. If Magnifico is the villain, why does removing Asha from the story result in everyone living happily ever after?
Head canon: Evil king/queen use not just wishes but hopes and dreams of the people (many which could be realistically accomplished) to fuel magic. Asha 1)forgot the childhood dream of being a princess or 2)gave up/sacrificed her own dreams and hopes for a hurting father/friend/family and didn’t get her own dreams. BUT this means she isn’t under the magic’s control. So starboy finds her the only free person, and with starboy she discovers new joys and fun things and learns the values of wishes, and develops her own (maybe related to star boy wink wink romance) but that also puts her in danger of being controlled which builds conflict alongside the monarchy chasing after star boy’s power. It comes together in a final confrontation with Asha’s external and internal conflicts. They triumph over evil and Asha becomes a princess (her forgotten childhood dream) with star boy becoming a prince, and they know how to rule well and help people work towards their own hopes/dreams. Great videos btw, keep working hard!
I think it would be interesting to explore the Star Boy as a much more chaotic magical being, maybe half of his wishes just blow up into random magical nonsense (singing animals?) or don’t make any sense at first cause he doesn’t actually know how to control his magic or maybe he just doesn’t know what people want (cause he was a star that wasn’t wished on for a long time). Asha and Star Boy could explore the city figuring out people’s desires and pushing them towards granting them themselves helping to remove the reliance on the evil couple for wishes being granted. Then they both would gain romantic chemistry during the process.
Your backstory for the "evil couple" isn't bad..... but I have a better one that also concerns Star...to a certain extent. I can't explain it here because I'm working on a fiction rewrite of Wish and it might cause spoilers. But I'm agree with you: Magnifico isn't really a villain. More a spoiled brat.
I actually love the idea of the king and queen going more and more insane after losing their child! Ive been thinking about rewriting the movie myself as a passion project someday, and that idea just might be perfect! Wouldnt it be even more interesting if Magnifico and Amalya (or however her name is, they made her so forgettable in the movie :
same!! i really felt like it could've been so much more!! and a lot of people in the comments had great ideas for improving the movie too!! I like your idea also :D
Another Studio needs to DO their Original Concept with Different Names for the Character and Kingdom LMAO I still would like to see it. Hell, I'd even watch an animated episodic version of it. If a Movie Length is too short (despite Movies in older Eras could also be as long as 3+ hours, and how Theatre in Ancient Days could LITERALLY take the span of DAYS), then an episodic version would be PERFECT in introducing each character's background slowly and steadily, building tension and teamwork. They can even have the 1st episode have half of it show the issue like "So, this is happening. This is my Life now.... but first, let's rewind and take a moment to see how this all came out this way." Then it goes back to the moment it beforehand. It's a great place to get people interested. Plenty of animations AND books alike have started their Trilogies this way!
They could have put some of Jack Frost's personality so he was: Serivous, protective, fun and loving. To give him character. You should actually be the movie creator❤.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a group of people complain more when it comes to deleted scenes for a film. And here I am just enjoying the film that we received in the best quality possible.
I haven't seen the film, but I think the idea of personifying a wish and having Asha connect to that person would serve the overall story in a compelling way that'd make it actually hard to give up your wish to Magnifico when it's so personal not only to the protagonist but we as the audience know why it matters to her and can see the personified relationship and connect to them both. It makes us root for Asha keeping her wish if we know the meaning and care about the relationship there. Having a dream personified like that and going on a journey with them feels very much the essence of Disney films and the whole motif of "when you wish upon a star". I'm not too interested in seeing the film, but the more reviews I see about I feel like Wish was more of a rough draft. Like as it is, I imagine it's a lukewarm film, not great but not terrible. But it doesn't emotionally move you in the way a Disney film (or any genuinely good movie) should. The ideas presented in the final product needed more refinement before it hit the silver screen. Like I said, I haven't seen it so I don't know how accurate that all is. I kinda want to see it now though just to see the potential of what could have been and to see if I agree with the reviews I've stumbled across.
To add on to the thought with the king and queen having a kid, what if the kid they “couldn’t have” was the star boy in some way. That would possibly add some things to the story in some way. Then in the end if star boy and asha get together she would become a princess and take over the kingdom in the end. 🤷♀️ random thoughts lol
Eso mismo me inventé yo!!!! 😆😆 Te lo explico aquí. Las estrellas tienen su propia apariencia, como hadas alienígenas, así que para mezclarse Star boy usa la apariencia humana que está en un deseo pedido a las estrellas que nunca fue concedido por qué no era el destino. El deseo era "deseamos poder tener un hijo varón". Y Star boy se ve como un magnífico joven, con detalles de Amaya. Cuando los reyes lo ven quedan impactados y recuerdan la frustración de que nunca pudieron tener lo que tanto habían suplicado
I really wish Disney would have gone down this path for star because asha is kind, caring, funny, joyful and dependable and star is the the same and if star was a boy I think asha and star boy would be a really cute couple
You're drawings are adorable! I love the way you drew Starboy And I actually like your takes! I think maybe with magnífico and his wife what could've happened is a genie situation where he grants wishes but can't bring people back from the dead so they get jealous and envious over time being able to grant others wishes while they can't wish their child back and so they start withdrawing from granting people's wishes and decide to end up holding back and not granting anyone's wishes entirely And since people would have been used to getting what they want getting their wishes granted all the time the kingdom got dependant on magnifico which would also double pressure on him along side his duties as a wish granter With the kingdoms dependence they'd end up boring of life and whatnot fearing risks fearing failure fearing that they won't succeed in the things they want cause they depend on magnificos wishes After the whole thing with magnífico that asha sees that they refuse to give people's wishes due to their built up twisted-ness after she's thrown out she feels bad helpless she knows what they're doing and is afraid of what to do maybe after she has like a pretty song about how wishes are a desire that we have the power of making come true and maybe she has a moment where she wishes upon a star for the wishes to be free so people can have a chance of making them come true Then Starboy appears from that wish I do like the concept of Starboy being mute makes for an interesting dynamic and we don't see mute characters much I know a good example of mute characters is sandman from rise of the guardians I think Starboy transforming or using stardust imagery would be cool for him to communicate but someone did point out the song with asha and magnifico together singing about wishes did have a duet/romantic vibe and was speculated as being starboy and ashas song I personally love either way Starboy being mute or speaking cause you can also have musical moments with him and have him express vocally some interesting things I definitely recommend you watching the deleted scenes they're really good But anyways Starboy and asha fight to free the wishes seeing asha stand up for it being inspired being risky going for it inspires the townfolk cause lemme tell ya seeing someone fight for their dreams for their desires is absolutely inspiring and beautiful And I think that for asha becoming the next queen after they free the wishes asha will inspire people to chase their wishes on their own she will encourage people that a wish no matter how big or small can be accomplished by oneself and desire to make it reality and it'd be sad but I think starboy should be sent back as a star now that ashas wish was granted a bit of a starcrossed love story and she'll always be reminded of him and what she fought for everytime she looks up into the sky at that star I am no writer nor do I make movies or anything like that! Just some ideas inspired by your concepts jyuna xD
I think it would be a cool idea if they originally wanted to bring back their child but they got corrupted by power and at the end it’s revealed that they could’ve brought their kid back any time they wanted but they chose not to because they would be left with no magic. Kind of a twist of giving villains a fake sympathetic backstory when their actions don’t match that
This is Disney’s 100th anniversary, something to look back on and be amazed by. Original Starboy fits well, even by being inspired by Peter Pan and is similar to Genie works for the 100th Anniversary, much better than the scattered references that fill the film so blatantly. And having the King and Queen an amazing villainous duo! I have never wanted something more than bad guys being bad, but being respectful and loving to one another. And loyal! In most films I’ve seen a bad guy will ultimately turn on the other when things get tough, but imagine if the King got in trouble, the Queen sees he’s losing and finds something to help him (be that a spell or weapon or something). And Asha. They could’ve started her off as someone who doesn’t think or want love, and being closed off to the townspeople, slowly leading her down a path to that of the King and Queen, but then she encounters Starboy, someone who’s joyous, playful and caring, who opens up her heart to not just him but the people she is meant to serve. The original concept could’ve brought in together an original film everything that made Disney Disney. A loving protagonist couple, an evil villain, a strong story written by professional writers (not writers who don’t even know that you’re not meant to give your character what they want. Even beginner writers know that), a team who worked together through the entire process (something I feel so sorry for the songwriter in Wish as they gave her three weeks with very little info on what the story was about). It could’ve been Disney’s biggest film, and it’s sad that it’s not.
It would be better for Asha to be the first orange Disney princess and also here story would be better her dad and the mother wish would love to have another baby also and Asha father gets tired instead of pass away and instead the grand father I’ll be the mothers birthday wish and star boy and Asha deserves to fall in love with star boy 😢also but like her dreams she would be a great queen one day instead being a fairy godmother
Go with this. As we know a set of rules for some wish makers is no bringing the dead back to life, no forcing love and no more wishes. What if they had a child, the baby died and that no bringing dead back to life was a thing. What if the queen was informed she couldn’t have another child or risk losing her own life. So the two set out to find a way of bringing their child back to life…by using the wishes of others, what if the king found a way to use the other wishes as fuel or a catalyst to bring back the child. Food for thought.
I watched Godzilla Minus One, y'know, a movie made for it's 70th anniversary, and I fk LOVED IT, how comes Disney, celebrating 100 YEARS, messes up THIS BADLY???
Well...during these last few months I've been seeing how people have used the original concept arts to reimagine the characters we got in the wish movie, and it honestly makes me very happy to see how much of the artist community has gotten down to it the work to bring these ideas to reality! I really think that there were many opportunities to carry out the conceptual arts...which would be to make the kings villains, both the queen and the king, and that the star was going to be a boy 💫. I think something interesting could have been that Asha was the king's assistant, who ended up reigning thanks to the people choosing her or that she had been the adopted daughter of the king and queen, then becoming a princess worthy of reigning after having defeated his own parents...and of course this would be with the help of the star boy, oh and thinking about him, damn, I still can't fully think if he would stay in the world with Asha? would he have to go with his family? would he have to leave and he could return from time to time to visit the human world? because since nothing was explained to us about that star's background, we have no idea, and I have also seen comments that say that he would have been Disney's Jack Frost and I would loved him! 😭😭😭
yeah!!! so many missed opportunities!! people in the comments and I have imagined many scenearios!! Asha being the king's apprentice, being the queen and king's daughter, the Star being king and queen's son, the list goes on!! I'm still baffled that the community has more sense of good writing than a giant animation company haha 💚💚
@@JyunaYT Sometimes I think that all the community together could do it better if we had the chance (Sorry for the mistakes in the comments, english isn't my first lenguage wahaha)
It will never not anger me that they changed the original concept of the film. We could've had our first villain power couple and it could've been a cool juxtapose to Asha and Star as a couple. Showing two healthy couples. One sent down a dark path with a selfish goal and the other the path of heroes. Showing both people in both of the relationships rely on each other and show how both of them are needed in their respected relationships. This would also be a good contrast between the "I don't need no man" princesses that came before. The only change I would've made is I would've given Star curly hair. The straight hair makes sense with the smooth design of the star's final product depiction, but I would've loved for them to play with the visuals of clouds and incorporate that into his hair. I would've let him keep the golden glowing clothes, but I would've made his irises golden(maybe golden glowing freckles across the bridge of his nose to kind of match Asha but I'm not entirely sold on the idea) as well and given him a cute mop of curly cloud like hair that changes color with the time of day. During the day it's white. During the night it's a smoky black. And I would've had an emotional scene between Star and Asha (I'm thinking either a moment where they have an argument that causes them to seperate right before the big climactic "final fight" scene or a fake out death scene right after the big climactic "final fight" scene) take place at the end of the day while the sun is setting. His hair would start off as a dim white and slowly shift between pink, red, orange, and then end off as a dark smoky blue as the sun sets. I'd also have the hair be in near constant motion like a cloud and give it more of a floaty visual. Even though this story concept completely went to waist, hopefully Disney will see how many fans actually want to see two relatable characters being in a genuine healthy relationship that has both partners on equal footing instead of the the copy and paste "adorkable" princesses that only needs her trusty animal sidekick that we've been getting.
Aisha was supposed to be the king and queen's daughter. She could've been the good amongst the evil, seeing what he parents were doing wasn't right but feeling powerless with no magic of her own. That could've completely changed why she wished on the star. And it would make her the very first Disney Princess, as this movie is supposed to be set in a time period before all the other movies are set. And they still could've made Star Boy the marketable plushie he is now. If he's a shapeshifter, he could've been in that star form when they first met and transformed into a boy when she was freaking out. Or to use that form to hide better when in danger. Or to take that form for some comedic moments.
Hear me out, what if the evil couple to have a child or a distant cousin that related to the royal blood. Which the child/cousin can be Asha's friend that was part of her 7 friends, but cuz she didn't have magic power, she/he didn't fight for the throne. And I would like for the King and Queen to be evil because they might not able to cast a wish for themselves (the wish could be something like take over the world, or wanting people to stop wishing so they won't have motivation to someday wish for the throne). And seeing the books that they needs 100th wishes to granted, they selected some wishes and only granted 1 out of many wishes from many years. This caused people to not have motivation or stop having wishes cuz they felt like with the powerful King, they don't need to wish anymore. And with the wishes trapped in the castle, it drained Star Boy, hence why he started to lose his power. And Asha wanting to help Star Boy, went on the journey to defeat the evil couple. They will have some battle fight mentally with the concept of having wishes should and should not be granted, and wondering if the citizen should take back their wishes or let someone controls it. But in the finale, the citizen and also the child/cousin realized the important of having a wish and the motivation to strike for it. And maybe after defeating the evil couple, the kid/cousin took the throne. Then for the finale, it could have a sad farewell of Star Boy and Asha. Cuz he had to go back to the sky now that he had his power back, so he can do his duty of granting wishes. Asha wishes for him to stay but he can't. Instead, he promised to come back one a year as a comet, just like they met. And he told her while some wishes can't be granted, he wanted her to never stop having more wishes as it can be the greatest source in a people's life. And even sang the song "When you wish upon the star" as their last farewell
Currently doing my own version of Wish, that I've combined with my Peter Pan inspired story, to make something original. Like only the concept of wishes being physical, an evil queen, an apprentice, and the star boy resemble wish anymore. Edit: Forgot to add, my evil queen also has a dead son, just not with the king and he's not very important to her, but was to the king.
sounds really cool!!! definitelly has better ideas and character development compared to the original movie loll link the story if you ever plan on publishing it somewhere! i'd love to read it 💚💚
Disney didn’t want star boy to be the same as genie just because they both grant wishes, yet they give their animated female characters the same personality in every movie? Riddle me that Disney 😭
So trueeee 😞
Star Boy could’ve served as a nice subtle reference to Genie (and also Peter Pan). It’s fitting for a movie that’s meant to celebrate 100 years of Disney.
Jee who is giving the orders at a studios they make too much of a mistake
real. they take so much from other movies and nod to them in wish, but they couldn't have done that???? 😭😭
They didn’t want Asha to have a love interest because, yknow, that makes weak women (sarcasm - women in love are a force to be reckoned with from my experience 😂)
Starboy is already successful as CONCEPTUAL ART, imagine if they had actually followed through with this idea. He would be Disney's "Jack Frost" in terms of fandom, I can see it.
omg so true!!! i see so many people simping for him already 😂 I'm one of them loll
That’s what I said!!! He gives me so much Jack Frost vibes but in star form!
Tumblr will go crazy over him
I simp...
Pero lo harían un "bueno para nada" solo para que Asha quedé bien.
I will NEVER not be upset that they DIDNT go with the concept art. Like- BRO. Shapeshifting star boy who’s Asha’s love interest, the VILLAIN couple. And so much more😭😭😭😭 like- bro
broooo IKR???? I'm so sad 😭😭😭
@@JyunaYT we were robbed of potentially the most wholesome romance ever :.)
Fr, Disney played wayyyy too safe
If only they could reshoot animated movies what would they need to do it?
The concept art makes me imagine a Disney movie version of Neil Gaiman's Stardust, but gender swapped. We could've had it all! T_T
In fact, my so-called canon name for Starboy is Earendel because it means "morning star" or "dawn" and also most distant star of all cosmos as dawn symbolizes notions of hope and illumination which almost matched with Asha means "hope".
I feel they wouldn't give him this name because it sounds a lot like Arendelle, but it is now my head canon too, I love it
wait, isn't that merely a Tolkien thing?
@@Artemisarrowzz in fact before the Tolkien, it was actually written in the old poem.
@@GwynethRoseCliff huh, I had no idea. The more you know
My headcannon name for him is Sirius, which is the name of a real star.
Lol, if Star Boy is Genie because he grants wishes, then Mother Gothell is Frollo because they both locked a kid in a tower. What inconsistent logic.
lmaooooo I think they just wanted to make star more merchable and used that as an excuse!! 😭😭 such a waste!
@@JyunaYT The funny thing is, they could've just had him shape-shifting into the little ball form whenever he's trying to stay low-key or not draw attention to Asha. That way you still have your cute, marketable mascot, but also give him a more complex design for when he's interacting with other characters.
Shinigami in Rain Code (a detective game released last year) pretty much did this exact thing.
@@JyunaYT ngl I think a doll of star boy would be pretty marketable
And Rapunzel, Moana, and Mirabel are the same person, using that logic. So ridiculous
@@bloxworld6593They aren't though?
funny how the 100 year movie is supposed to be an honor to work on and shrek was a punishment to work on yet shrek breathes more life than wish.
ikr loll the irony 😂
Shrek is a way better homage than wish even though its a parody. It had a good story to tell.
If only Wish was more like Shrek
For the “king and queen want to bring back their child” idea, maybe bringing people back from the dead requires a lot of energy in the form of wishes? And then the two would grant a couple of less-fantastical wishes once every few months as they wouldn’t contain as much “wish energy” or whatever.
I saw another comment talking about how Asha’s flaw could’ve been that she cares about others to the point of self-sacrifice, which would be a really interesting character arc!
Having the contrast of a hero giving everything so fulfil the wishes of everyone except for herself versus villains who want to take others’ wishes for a selfish act would be pretty cool.
Also having Asha, a character who doesn’t care about her own wishes, with star-boy who’s only wish us for her to take better care of herself would be a little cliche but still nice.
Disney’s 100th anniversary piece should have a lot of cliches ngl it’s their whole thing
Broooo that's such a good idea!!! I would've loved to see that dynamic between Asha and Star (agree a lil cliche but I'm all for that)!! I guess the only thing remaining would be Star's character arc? 🤔 maybe he has his own wish but can't grant it because he's a star? idk hahahah but I already love him regardless haha
I love these ideas
Or that Stars have rules just like Genies, and reversing Death itself breaks those rules, it could have been the child very clearly having something off about them without being creppy and letting the parents accept they're gone for good and need to move on, (And even adopt a bunch of kids bc they wish to be parents) It could be a good, gentle way to explain grief and loss to children as well as acceptance of things out of your control
@@zabirdy181 Using the villains evil plot to show their inability to accept death would be really interesting, especially because so many magic stories don’t go into much depth when it’s the villains trying to revive somebody
These are amazing
"Star is too much like genie"
Me who just heard this
Dude my dude this movie is FULL of References like too much from what I've heard
it is!!! it has snow white, cinderella, etc references, and they just made the excuse that star was kind of like Genie to not include him -_-
Ikr (BTW I haven't watched it yet I just know about alot of it do to videos like yours lol) I think its because they didn't want the star to just to solve all the problems espeally when communicated (tho they fudged up the problems any how) but there could be a very simple solution that can also solve the whole star doesn't have an excuse to stay with her problem.. and that is have star be a student. He has to help a human get their wish/goal without using magic to get to goal/wish. It also helps with a theme/lesson as well. Which is work for your wishes to come true. Magic is just a short cut and working towards it can help you meet people, learn lessons, and have fun along the way to that goal.
Can't you tell I'm writing my own vision of wish before watching it?
@@JyunaYT forgot to hit reply before typing all that out TvT
They deadass wanted to fuck the writers over without giving a proper reason.
I wish that disney makes a new version of "wish" with the originals ideas. Let's do what Snyder fans do and make a move for Disney to release another version of wish with the original ideas.
I'd be so happy if that happened 😭
They should! As long as it’s not live action and no one would ask for that it’s only fair for them to rework the plot for a more canon story
@danellyhurtado1759 Now THAT'S a remake I want! Make it happen, Disney! 👏
I agree!!!
Like how everyone complained about sonic so much that they pulled it fixed the problems and re released it
They missed such a golden opportunity to get inspiration from Shakespeare's Macbeth. The king could have been benevolent at first, but the queen could have manipulated him slowly, playing on his temper, convincing him he has to hunt Asha and the boy, using dark magic from the book.
He could have been reluctant at first, but slowly giving in to greed, pride and vengeance.
By using the book more and more the royal couple could have release a dangerous sorcerer who turns them into puppets and starts a reign of terror- causing the same destruction that ruined Magnitico's home.
In the end, Asha and the boy coild have saved Magnifico, leaving Amaya to be consumed by the book as they both vanish...
Just an idea.
Ooo. I like that idea. Been a long time since we had a good female villain from Disney.
oh man I can't even remember the last female villain from disney. maybe Rapunzel's mother? but I really like your idea!! I like how Magnifico became the monster he once sworn to protect people from!!
But nooooo you can’t have a manipulative female character! It’s so sexist and baaaaaaaad! Women can never be wrong!
Nope still have magnifico sucked into the mirror and the queen survive, but banished.. She finds the book and becomes the evil queen and takes the mirror with her to keep her beloved close.
@@Carrionangel8911 Oooohhhh, sequel potential!!!
We find out that Amaya was hiding on another island and she was practicing magic with the power of the mirror. The queen returns when she is ready, steals Star's 'wish' magic ( it appears as the little glowing ball like the movies) and tries to use it to bring Magnifico back.
The point of the story being that you don't need magic, to be special, or to be powerful to be a hero
i'm seriously considering writing a fic on ao3 with a plot similar to this. the king and queen will have a morticia and gomez dynamic, exepct that they're yk evil, and asha will be their daughter who's been sheltered her entire life and doesn't know about the people's suffering. since she didn't really have any flaws in the movie i was thinking she could have trouble with accepting that her parents are evil and be very defensive when it comes to them. she'll encounter star boy when she's away from the kingdom and they will help her realize what's really going on while also falling in love with each other in the process.
i was thinking that the magic the king and queen use for the whole wish thing could be powered by the people's faith in them and when that starts failling, they'll capture star boy and try to use their magic for it instead. this would make asha finally accept that they're evil and then she'll go save star boy and the kingdom,
this idea isn't fully developed yet so there will probably be a few changes to the plot here and there.
Yo I would totally read that
I would so read a fix it fic. Like all these ideas are what I wish the movie had lol.
I'd totally read that!! It's a very unique idea! which I know disney is never going to incorporate, so I guess i'll just be content reading fanfics 😭
I'll read this
I would totally read that✨💜
For Star it would be a great story to see him as a very hopeful, optimistic positive person because he doesn't know reality. And seeing him learn about it (then denial, followed by sadness) and then learning that, despite the hardships, it is important to never lose hope, would make a typical Disney message + is an interesting story.
I would have liked to see the queen character (Amaya, was it?) if she played the Lady Macbeth role, encouraging/pushing her husband into villainous acts with either love and support or manipulation and insults to his ego.
an actual villainess!!! I'd love to see that instead of another freaking twist villain 💀
yeah i like that idea. would be pretty interesting.
I like this idea and I don't know how she could become a great Villain like Magnifico when he discovered and learned all on the forbkdden book and yeah I think she could talk about thieves, everyone is really evil, dangerous for them and not one of Rosa's in habitants is honest and brave.
I have some ideas:
The first change is with Asha who is now the Princess of Rosas and daughter of King Magnifico and Queen Amaya who is turning 18 at the beginning and will be performing her first Wish Ceremony in place of her father. In this version, she’s still very kind and good, but she’s also very shy and introverted with an elegant air but not a lot of self-confidence since all her life, her parents have told her that as the princess she must be a good girl and do as she’s told. She still has magic though and still wants to use it for the good of Rosas but after learning the dark truth, she has to realize that doing what’s right sometimes means standing up those you love.
Magnifico and Amaya are similar in their evilness, but they do genuinely love each other and Asha. Their motivations are mainly rooted in paranoia of losing their newfound power and their perfect kingdom falling apart like their home did a century ago. Back then they were good and generous people and Magnifico in particular loved granting wishes to anyone who asked until one day he granted the seemingly simply of wish of an evil person, who used his powers to steal and rob the people of their village. They were forced to flee but made a wish for a new home which would become Rosas. Despite this they fear losing their home and power which comes in the form of Starboy.
Starboy in this is named Earendel and he is a very young wishing star who is still learning to control his wishing magic. He is mischievous and kind of childishly cruel at times, who in the beginning looks down on humans and grants wishes just because he can without rhyme or reason. However as the film goes on, he begins to genuinely care about the humans of Rosas and slowly falls in love with Asha and her with him. In the end, he sacrifices his own life to save Rosas but is resurrected by a kiss from Asha.
omg!!! you gave AN ACTUAL REASON for king Magnifico's reluctance in granting everybody's wishes!! it would've added so much depth to his character. I also like how Earendel is "childishly cruel" haha I love your version!! and it ends as a classic love story like the Disney we used to love! Brilliant! 💚💚💚💚💚
@@JyunaYTThank you! If they give Magnifico a backstory, it should have some effect on how he is in the present story. I thought it would be interesting to show that after what happened, he became so paranoid that he forgot why wishes and dreams are important. As for Earendel, he's supposed to be a reference to Peter Pan in that way. He's not evil but sometimes he can be insensitive and arrogant in his actions but starts to become more empathetic and understanding as he gets to know Asha.
Lo primero de Asha princesa me recuerda a Isabella madrigal.
Lo último de Star boy, me agrada
I would love this movie!!!❤
In my headcanon, Star Boy can shapeshift into various types of animals and things including the cute ball of Star so that Disney can do merchandise on both the ball of Star and StarBoy.
Asha's "care too much" can be expanded on as a "People Pleaser" in which she cares others so much that she neglects her own feelings and needs hence the wishes.
As for the King and Queen, both are traumatized from past experiences that now affects on who they are now, but both have room to be good again. Also, they are both Asha's parents.
There's so many possibilities.
Especially that they didn't go those ideas 😔
Omg, ive literally done the same thing for a rewrite from everything you said. With mine, the king and queen understand about bad wishes, so they balance it out with helping the people out with them. Asha is plucky, energetic, carefree, and kind, helping out with everything and everyone, but this leads her to not have any time to herself, which secretly stresses her out, but doesn't show it, making her friends and family to worry about her. She's also a go getter, stubborn, and always stands for basically anyone who needs help. But after she barely avoids getting captured by the villain that both her and Aster's parents have been fighting with since they were small, she realizes what it really means to be afraid and helpless, and slowly become kinda introverted, and becomes cautious, something shes never really felt before. Aster and her friends and family are able to help her out, leading her to understand that you can live a balanced life of not having only one side of your personality and that its ok to be scared and vulnerable sometimes
In my version of wish, asha is the daughter of the king and the queen. So like… a literal princess. And so something I think could be a good character arc for her is that when she’s on the run from her parents and stuff, she isn’t used to not getting what she wants when she wants it. Ya know, all the spoiled child things every princess has. So asha has to realize that she’s not perfect and neither are her parents. Stuff like that. It’s not a fully formed idea.
Omg I had the same idea!
that could've definitely been explored!! I also thought about making Asha the queen and king's daughter!! i think it would've been the first disney princess whose parents are villains haha would've been interesting to see. 💚
Ooooo I love the spoiled, entitled, bratty princess who becomes humbled and benevolent troupe. Lol. That definitely needs to be explored more.
The reason I made this be the story because it’ll also give a reason to be appalled at King Magnifico and The Queens actions
My idea was that she actually found starboy in the dungeon of the castle on her coronation in a way (reason why she even went down was because she accidentally stumbled inside wanting to escape from everyone due to her feeling very overwhelmed or something similar to that)
She is very cautious around him but she finds out the reason why he’s down there which is for king magnifico to extract his powers to grant the wishes in a way that’s why he would only grant 1 to 2 wishes a month…
So she helps him escape and they go on a trip together so Asha can try and bring him back to his home in the sky
Shenanigans happens, Asha’s friends get dragged in to help, and eventually they do start catching feelings for each other though they might not notice it 🤷♀️
king magnifico and the queen do find out about this and are enraged because basically the kingdom is starting to catch on about them not granting any wishes and questioning their true power (if it shows rhey actually dont grant wishes theyll be seen as frauds and chased out the kingdom and go back to being poor which they dont want) so they disguise their quest to find back starboy (and potentially get more vessels) by them telling them that their precious princess Asha was kidnapped by a "demon"
the ending is iffy but they do get caught and the villains either A. manipulate Asha in a way to believe that starboy was only taking advantage of her to run away and with that taking away the magic which built the kingdom in a way (i made her slightly naive because she was raised sheltered) or B. They put on a concerned front and pretend they were ignorant of everything and tell Asha to go back while they bring Starboy back to his home
Either way she’s manipulated and when she catches on she’s about too late and the villains drain Starboy of his power and since they are the entrance to where all the other star people live they also start draining their magic as well
Asha comes and narrowly stops them from what they are doing clearly distraught and breaks the staff which the collect the star power from releasing back the magic to all that were stolen but by the time she reaches Starboy its a little too late and he’s like fading and with an act of true love (confession not the kiss cause apparently that’s controversial) he is brought back to life giving homage to all the other Disney princess movies (think similar to the beauty and the beast true love scene)
There also will be a proper dress transformation blah blah blah Villains get arrested and tortured throughout eternity with the ramblings of the sidekick they pushed aside with Asha visiting them at times to give them updates cause yk they are her parents and Asha will be queen!
Starboy does go back to where he lives cause it is a danger for him to stay in the human world for long and yk he still misses all the family he’s been ripped apart from (he was taken from his home by the villains when he was 6) but every once in a while him and Asha will meet at the halfway point and go on dates
And with this it gives a happy ending but also opens possibilities to sequels if Disney ever wants one where the plot preferably won’t retcon the whole canon
Sorry for the essay 😅
That would be pretty interesting
Omgosh! Starboy looks amazing!! The cape looks so good.
Asha's dress looks so pretty! All the designs look amazing though💚💚
Oooohhh HIII WREENN!! Thank you so much!! it's always good to see you!! :D 💚💚
@@AayoRayo It's the grand champion, standing here, next to me!!
You missed the platypus.
Edit: For Asha’s flaw of “I care too much” we should see what that means. Does she care too much for other people and not putting her own desires first? That’s one direction you could have gone.
You mean Perry the platypus?
No seriously wich platypus
what platypus? lolll
yeah i agree! the "i care too much" could be a weakness depending on context. i guess the problem was that she didn't have a wish for herself so we didn't get to see if she puts others first or not
@@JyunaYT like a people pleaser? Like that can cause people to take advantage of your kindness and can be quite stressful and unhealthy. So it’s okay to say ‘no’ and put yourself first. Like self care is important too. And maybe it would be fine if Asha wanted something for herself for once in which Star Boy would help her to achieve and figure out. But Asha doesn’t become selfish, she just learns the importance of self care but is still self sacrificing.
@@JyunaYT Okay, in the art book, they share other possible designs for the Star character, and one of them is a Platypus. I swear, hand to God, I am not making this up.
I like that almost 60-70% of the WISH 'fandom', reject the movie and sees the concept art as the true canon
Yep and I'm among them 🙋♀️
Almost sixty to seventy percent? More like at least eighty to ninety percent of the “Wish” “fandom” wishes that “Disney” used the original concept art for the movie, instead of what we got.
9:52 what if they think by having so many wishes they’ll be able to summon a star or get enough power (given wishes are power in Disney) to bring their child back? Given like genie says “you can’t wish the death alive” but they could will it with the “will” of everyone at their disposal. But each dream didn’t seem that genuine or strong enough. And that’s where Asha comes in. Her unwavering will despite her being fear and unfocused is what they need. A will and determination strong enough to fight and the care to even give your life to the ones you love (Easter egg to Hercules movie) is what they would need to fight the rule of death. It would’ve been dark yet fun.
oooooooo interesting!! it would've been nice to see disney make something a little darker for once! Villains that are willing to destroy's everyone's dreams if it meant they could fulfill their own wish and are willing to do anything to get past the rule of death! aghhh actual villains!! would've been fun
Or if they did succeed, their child does come back, however, their child ends up fading away and says “I can’t stay. My time has come so Im not meant to be here. Not anymore. You must carry on without me.” So the parents beg their child not to go but as their child starts ascending, he says his final words “I will always love you mom and dad” and then he fades away entirely. The parents are devastated, like nothing matters anymore. So Asha, feeling sadness and empathy for the heartbreak of the parents, steps in and tells them they have to move on for their child’s sake and reassured them that they’ll always be with them. And their child is part of something beautiful. He’s a star. Always looking down and watching them. Their child won’t be able to rest in peace and be happy unless they move on. Of course, they’re always going to be sad their child is gone, and they’ll always miss them, but they learn to cope and move on. And they must atone for their misdeeds since that would honor their child and make them happy. Maybe they can’t be let off the hook very easily and still need to answer for their crimes before they’re officially redeemed which would take a while, but it’s a start.
@@ashebennett7726 honestly I imagine it like that. The plot would be how wishes can’t just be brought upon a star and how is both your desire and action that can make your wish come true (aka make it true). And the plot would be Asha learning about dreams and how is okay to be a dreamer and solve how the king and queen are able or are making wishes true for people (even if is a few) and what is making them able to do so (evil magic, maybe reference the maleficent magic on it). Or is how I imagine it.
I wanna think the kid was Asha’s friend and her true wish is to not be alone. As she lost her only friend (prince/princess whatever) and hasn’t gotten over it and used everything to essentially avoid the pain. Maybe the kid dying by trying to wish on something and it went wrong (say fly or even to be strong but got killed by an animal or so) and is why Asha doesn’t believe in them. With star boy showing her that dreams are okay
Sorry for the long answer I’m just hyperfixiating badly
@@dcscruz2970 lol nah you’re good. I am as well.
I honestly love your ideas.
@@ashebennett7726I like writing and daydream a lot so yeah. I’m sad the movie didn’t do much. It could’ve been so awesome
I imagine if the King and Queen were both villains, they would be like Jessie and James from Pokemon-- they're the bad guys, but you still love it when they're on screen. Just give them a talking-animal sidekick and we've got the Team Rocket of Disney!
Also, Star Boy could have been the next Disney Prince and I will forever be disappointed that he was scrapped. 😔
oh hahah that would be so fun! they could also change the king and queen's palette to give a more cartoony vibe? white was kinda boring ngl and yeah they were supposed to have a cat in the movie! he was scrapped out too tho T-T would've been the perfect Team Rocket!! and we'll forever grieve over the Disney Prince who never even had the chance to come to life 😭😭
03:21 - 03:32 This is *extremely* ironic to me because the 1st thing I thought when I saw King Magnifico was that he was like a genie who was sick and tired to keep granting wishes non-stop without ever getting a thank you.
Great designs Jyuna!!!
Star-Boy is favourite, I think that a good name for him would Astero (which means star in Greek)
Keep up the Awesome Drawing 🙂
Asha + Aster = Ashaster
He was supposed to be called Earendel
Thank you!!! 😊 Star boy is my favorite as well hehe oh so asteroid comes from astero? interesting ahha
Apollo or Helios (the names of the Greek Sun Gods) would’ve also been great names
You art is so pretty! I just followed you on Instagram and Twitter/X.
I wish they could use the consept art in a sequel. For example:
"The Star returns because it misses Asha and this time take the form of a human boy. Asha introduse him for the queen and it makes the queen wants to visit her husband the king in the dungeoun in secret. She misses him and then choose to use the magic evil book to free him from the staff and that's how they become the evil couple while Asha and Star have to defeat them."
hey!! thanks for following me haha and yeah!! i suppose they're likely not gonna make a remake, so i guess a good sequel would be nice!! and it would make sense for the queen to miss her husband, they were married for many years, after all! you have a good idea of making a "remake" that's gonna be called a sequel haha
Yes. If we can't get a good remake a good sequel would be enough.
wHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT HOW THE CONCEPT ART FOR THE EVIL COUPLE HAS A CAT IN IT?? evil couple with an EVIL PET that could brawl the GOAT. how BOMB would that be???
🤔
The "biggest flaw is that you care too much" was a joke about what people say when they're asked about flaws. Unfortunately they didn't actually show us her flaws so it just doesn't go over well
Maybe the reason that they’re evil is because they want wishes all to themselves and they don’t want to share and maybe Starboy wants to help her because Starboy got too close to the truth, and the king turned him into a star
ooooooooo that's interesting!!!! star could've been the king's apprentice before being turned into a star!! it would kind of be a story of trying to bring Star back haha
@@JyunaYT maybe he was trying to warn Asha before she came to the king, and they both went on the journey to try to stop the king from stealing more wishes
The thing I don't understand...if they wanted this to be a "tribute" movie, then having similarities LIKE SHAPESHIFTING could've been a WONDERFUL tribute. He could've shapeshifted into anything that Maui or Genie had as just a nod to their movies. I'm just so flabbergasted at the choices they made for this movie.
The designs look so good!! Also, i love your voice, it's so relaxing😁
Oh!! Thank you so much 😁💚💚
I believe you got the shrek analogy from @NoTheRobot
I saw their short too, using shrek was a great example of a better written character flaw and story arc. Shrek was trying to get what he wanted to find out what he actually needed. He wanted to be left alone in his swamp but what he needed was love and acceptance. Meanwhile Asha states what she wanted and gets what she wants, no character changes, no flaws, nothing that really makes her rememberable and interesting.
oh yeah thanks!! someone mentiones it was from his short, and i forgot to credit him in the description 😅 but yeah it's ironic how Shrek did better haha
If I had to rewrite the motivations for Magnifico and Amaya, my proposal would be this:
They're not the original ruling couple of the kingdom, they usurped the original ruling family (Asha's family) and the wishes they store actually contain all the memories of those who would have been able to remember it. That and/or the wishes are what they draw their power from.
When Asha applies to be the apprentice of them, they begin to suspect that she's the lost daughter of the former king and queen and they take her on as apprentice to monitor her thinking she could still be useful. When Star enters the picture, they worry he will restore the memories of the people and thus reveal that they aren't who they say they are. Thus Asha and Star begin their quest to return the wishes and memories of the people and in the process have it revealed to Asha that she's actually a princess.
Not my best proposal but I wanted to try to keep consistency with the use of wishes in this movie.
Now that I thinked about, they could use this concept to make a Little Prince adaptation, Disney is known for making Fairy Tales adaptation
I WISH we had this. I ironically like Wish, but the concepts are just SOOOO much better especially seeing everyone write about them.
The concept art looked so good like Star had a human form and was Asha’s love interest and both Magnifico and Amaya were evil.
This is my personal rewrite
Asha would be Magnifico and Amaya’s actual daughter and so she grew up thinking that keeping the wishes was the right thing. I would also make her personality more similar to Elsa and Mulan rather than Rapunzel and Anna. She’s smart and serious but also stubborn.
(Little nitpick but I would also change her design to look more like her concept art. She would have her natural hair out and her color palette more orange and red. When I think purple I think Rapunzel and Isabella.)
Magnifico I would go the sympathetic route since it honestly works better for him. I would make that due to a traumatic experience he’s now a very paranoid man who truly just wants to keep everyone safe and he picks wishes that he deems best for everyone.
Amaya would also be traumatized but instead of focusing on wishes she focuses on appearance. Like she wants her family to look good to the kingdom so that they don’t question them and believe that they’re all safe.
The seven friends could be people who work around the castle and Asha then helps them throughout the story. I also like the betrayal but I like to imagine that Simon has a crush on Asha so he wants to be the greatest knight in order to hopefully impress her.
hmm true!! I like purple on Asha, but orange and red would suit too! Would've been interesting to see Amaya participating more in the story, keeping the appearances while the King practices evil sorcery to help his wife and kigdom! and I agree, Simon's betrayal was totally out of nowhere 😂
Lo de Amaya me recordó a la abuela alma madrigal.
Lo de Simón. También me gustó la traición, de verdad no me lo hubiera esperado. Y que estubiera enamorado de Asha 😮😃 tanto drama da para una serie, no cabe en una película.
@@JyunaYTthe first concert Arts half reactions that asha was Isabella so orange and red outfit have worked
Star: Asha, I understand your wish. I- I can't grant it. Everyone's wish is different, they contradict each other. However, your father's wish was granted, he had you. When one dream die others will take its spot.
Magnifico and Amaya would have been the FIRST evil power couple. They are both in love with each other and loyal to one another. They use the magic they acquire from hording the wishes to fuel their own power, sharing it with each other. They were also to be the evil couple contrast to the good couple of Asha and Star.
Apparently Star Boy was meant to be mute, which is an interesting and concept and good for diversity. I'm very convinced though from listening to the demo version of "At All Costs" that it was originally meant as a Disney love song for Asha and Star. It could have worked as an internal love duet, e.g. *Can You Feel the Love Tonight* from *The Lion King*, *Something There* from *Beauty and the Beast* and the first half of *I See The Light* from *Tangled*. That or they could have worked out some way Star singing with Asha without needing to talk (unless he *does* learn to speak at the end somehow much like Tack in some versions of *The Thief and the Cobbler*), e.g. he communicates with Asha telepathically or he uses his magic to find some way to sing to her. Either way, I definitely believe *At All Costs* would have been *so* much better as a Disney Love song.
Who do you imagine playing the singing voice of Star?
9:49 the first thing that came to my head was that he became the king by using his sorcery or deceit to get to the top and become king maybe act loyal to the old late king and then u know a scene when he’s alone with the king before he died evil laughing knowing he’ll be the next king with his evil queen. Then when he is king he wants even more power that kinda concept where it will never be enough and so he asks people to give their wishes to him and the whole concept that these wishes come from the heart so it’s kind of their magic given to him and instead of granting any of those wishes he and the evil queen uses them to make their own magic and powers stronger. Asha would probably find this injustice of the king stealing the people own power through maybe a crack in the door and this part a bit much but she could be like the daughter of the late king and didn’t take over the kingdom because she is too young or wasn’t in the will. When she finds this out she does what her dad says to do when all is lost/hopeless and wishes on a star. In this version her character is more goal oriented maybe she works to hard and even though they are the rulers they make asha do the work around the kingdom and star is the one to help her and has his own goals at the end that yes he likes granting wishes but he wants to stay on earth forever I’m not really sure 🤷♀️
star boy is perfect to play prince cornelius in Thumbelina CGI animation remake for the 30th anniversary
3:52 better phrased “some writer said they will be shipped and is not as shocking meme worthy if she has a potential love interest cause god forbid we have different gender main protagonists not be in a relationship”
I think this movie was very f up by Disney wanting to pander to the Disney fans and not to an audience. Wanting to please the hardcore fans and not something that would be even analyzed by artists and writers for longer.
Who cares if the ending and beginning is the same as many? We go to see a feel good happy story about a pretty lady having an important moment. Who cares if is “generic”? Life is generic. All they had to do is make something fun. That’s it. No one cares if is not some super writing masterpiece. Heck Disney og stories were generic but the art helped set them apart by the clever animation and art. Is why many study the books made by Disney animators.
I feel sad for the designers. They were robbed
I agree!! they just needed to make something fun and magical!!! that's what they were known for for years!! star was fun and magical and they discarted him cuz they thought they'd make more money by selling star ball merch 😭 and yeah!! it's cliche that the MC gets together with the opposite gender love interest but so many people like me still love to see it!
@@JyunaYT I wonder how that’s going for them. Since I see wish toys in stores being fully stocked
3:30 I thought my alarm was going off lol
I honestly think that Magnifico would be the redemable villain that would team up with Asha and Star Boy to take down the evil Queen.
In my version either Star Boy (when he was a kid, he grants a wish that harms maginifco's village that was ransacked by theives) or the Queen was plotting to take down Rosas from the inside, manipulating Magnifico to turn "evil" since she was once apart of the theives that ransacked his villaged and possibly killed everyone, except for magnifico. idk I love ur art and the story you created!! Im now trying to rewrite it too and having a difficulty with the "wishes" part because of how BAD it was in the film lol.
Anyway, what I got so far, Asha is the kings apprentice since she is the daughter of the king and wants to learn how to do magic to benifit the people of Rosas and on the plus side, it would help her become the next wish granter/leader of rosas. But she is not very good at it magic or at leading a group of people. She doesn't understand how leading works and becomes less and less confident because of it. I do want in a montoge of Asha helping around Rosas to show more of her personality where she is quiet and reserved but more than read to help her people and showing her care. It would also show her desire to become more confident in herself and longing for someone to understand her since not a lot of people besides Magifico understands the stress of becoming something like him. Later in the Film, Magnifico and or the Queen then shows her what she would do when she becomes the next wish granter (I think it would be like at 30 minutes into the film so we have time to flesh out our characters more in a spam of months than a few hours. And would establish a close relatinship she has with her father than her mother. PLUS, I think there would be a spell that would seem like everyone is happy, but in reality they are miserible without their wishes). They show her that they grant wishes that aren't good for the people of Rosas. Like murder and the ect. But they do it because the ones that are deemed safe or good actually give them more power in magic than the ones that aren't safe. Asha, horrified by this revelation tries to talk down Magnifico, but the Queen interviens saying to Magnifico that he is more experience than some lowly magician. What does she know what is good for the kingdom than them? So the king tells her to get out of the tower. (I dont think he bans her from the kingdom, I feel like he needed to be alone to do some thinking)
Asha wonders around the kingdom, seeing through the seemingly "happy place" but knowing the truth, she is able to see though the spell the king casted on his people and seeing them so miserable just makes Asha upset.
Asha runs off into the forest, but wonders a bit too far. When she comes to an opening she wishes on a star to "give her and her people a chance to persue their desires". Its more direct and more understandable than "to want something more than this". Star Boy is the opposite of Asha. He is more confident, extroverted, and overall could be a leader. It is something Asha wants to be. Star Boy is basically the spark in Asha to take down the king and queen. I think there would be a really cute moment where Star Boy is shocked of the world Asha lives in which in turn slowly has Star Boy getting a desire to be with Asha since she would technecally be the first person he has ever been friends with. So in this sweet senerio, they are the both the sparks in each other. Which would also would have them fall in love B)
Im not sure what the middle part would be, but I dont want the King to IMMEDIETLY hunt down Star. Yes, he is a threat to magnifico, but I feel like he would first want to know their intentions rather than mindlessly attacking without reason. *I'm looking at you Wish. I GOT MY EYE. ON. YOU.*
And I do want a part where they find or see Magnifico's home. Which would be a reason for both to talk down the king and try to convince him to give back the wishes. I also want Star Boy to be able to see people's desires, which would give Magnifico a much needed redemtion arc.
The fight would be kinda the same since I did kinda like that part. But the part where the king is in the mirror is just tragic. So that is not there anymore. Still in the works tbh. And sorry it is long, I had made a 30 minute rant on the trailer, and I do wanna fix it because I realized some things after watching the movie, but I wont since I wanna watch it as many times to make me go insane heheh
there's a lot of possibilities that comes with the "wish" system. I like how you made it!! it's like the purest and most kindest wishes are the ones that give true power, because it's made out of selflessness and love
I love the idea of Asha being the adopted daughter of the king and queen and having to fight back against her evil parents, which I've seen in several other videos. Still loved this video!
Could It be possible if Disney remakes the movie with Starboy and a power-hungry King and Queen originally if the outcry for it is large enough and or a petition is made ?
(Even though somehow it's a box office success and one of the highest grossing movies of 2023)
Sadly, I don’t think petitions work. A remake would be great because everybody loves the concept art a lot more than what we got. The majority is just disappointed. It would be great if our wishes were granted fr. Not to mention, we never get a villainous couple which would’ve been so much fun!!! They had this handed to us, practically gifted wrapped for us, and just tossed it in the fireplace while dousing it more with gasoline. And when’s the last time we got a protagonistic Disney couple (other than elemental which also flopped)? Star boy would’ve been so cool and the song, At All Cost, would’ve made so much more sense (because that’s what the song was originally about between Asha and Starboy). But hey, we got fanfiction at least. Not as good as what we could’ve gotten but it’s…..something.
I WISH they'd make a proper remake of this movie 😭😭 with At All Cost as the Asha and Star song!! and a villain couple aghhhh so much lost potential!!
If they make it animated it would work better I’m seriously not having a live action version no way no how
I have this idea that I believe could have worked in the film & that would be to incorporate this lesser known story about a prince who wanted to know fear.
Star boy could be this character who doesn't know fear and wants to find it because it's something he's very curious about.
Asha's character flaw and her start of the story could be that she's absolutely terrified of everything. She could make a wish about overcoming her fears, thus getting connected to Star Boy this way.
Then, the rest of the film is about Star helping Asha overcome her fears while he's trying to understand and find what frightens him by seeing what frightens Asha. Star is otherworldly, so he should also have these superhuman abilities besides shape shifting, and perhaps that's part of why he doesn't understand fear. He's seemingly too powerful to see anything as a threat.
The king & queen could be motivated to absorb Star's powers for their own use. So they want to capture him or are draining him of power by some means; Star could have maybe believed it was impossible for him to be drained of his magic, so he's reckless with using it and doesn't care the king & queen are siphoning his magic. He's also using hid powers to grant others of their wishes in reckless abandon, not understanding the consequences of his actions.
Then, when the evil couple strikes to capture or kill Star, he realizes he was wrong and has gotten weaker (both magically + physically). The castle could be in ruins during the big conflict, maybe people are trapped in rubble and Star struggles to help (I'm thinking of the scene where Hercules is trying to lift the colonnade off Meg, or when he frees the two boys trapped under the hydras' cave). The king or queen tries to finish off Star boy, but Asha puts herself in the way and is presumably killed/dying. This brave act of love also strikes fear in Star (he's watching her die & he's scared to lose her), but it also motivates him more in the conflict.
After defeat of the evil couple, Star could return to Asha and hold her tight as he cries over her death, but then Asha could whisper, "I scared you, didn't I?"
Turning the grief and mourning into joy.
Things are given balance, and Star has a new outlook on his wish granting responsibilities. The kingdom is restored, and a new ruler is set in place (either Asha or someone else).
At the end of the story, Star is given the choice to go home or stay on earth (again, similarities to Hercules) & he makes his decision. And we get a happy ending from there.
...te patrocinaria la producción si pudiera 😮!!!
I think a major reason why Disney decided to go with the star-ball rather than a human character is because it is significantly cheaper and easier to animate a moving ball rather than a human. Disney has been struggling financially lately and is a pretty cheap company overall in recent years.
But they animated people lots of times know hard work but worth it. But I guess there not doing so well 😕 🤷
small wonder that theyve been struggling.
Thank you for bringing up Mayura and Hawkmoth! That show had a golden opportunity to tango with that arch and bring in some real depth when it came to their relationship and teamwork and they preferred to go down the "mad with power/deus ex kill me to keep my son from knowing what a bad dad I am" route instead of actually doing anything. It feels like a lot of movies and shows have great concepts but are either afraid to explore it or have no idea how to execute it.... I would love more villain couples!
I completely agree! Evil royal couple would’ve been so original. What a waste 😭 and talking about evil couples I just couldn’t help but think of miraculous lol
I saw an animatic where star started as a star and then asha kissed the star and he turned into a boy (a little reference to princess and the frog) and that was such a cute idea!!!
They could’ve kept the concept art and add this little star ball as a side kick to Star boy as well as adding him to be mute rather than talk it would’ve been so cute
In my version, the couple worked together to give wishes to their perfect kingdom and in the process take the future dreams of others out of their kingdom and from their ally kingdoms (magical contract or something). Aisha sees something wrong and starboard comes out happy but then explains his powers are running out due to their evil ways depleting his magic. Then they get friends and help each other out, climax was to make the couple look like they win then starboy gets his wish come true since for some rule (he cant just make it himself). He gives up his power and The couple can’t use his powers anymore so then their banished and aisha rules the kingdom with Starboy.
I dunno, I like the idea of Asha discovering she was the villain all along. Like, Magnifico had good reasons for not granting any wish and the people were offered their wishes back, but refused them if they couldn't get them granted because it was easier than failure or accepting their loss. So, she thwarts Magnifico and his wife and begins granting wishes, only to discover that vague and poorly thought wishes cause chaos, and many wishes are self-serving or contradictory. In the end, she has to realize humility and patience, and that maybe she didn't 'care too much', that that description was self-serving. Maybe Magifico and his wife had once wished for a perfect daughter (Asha), and found out too late the ramifications of wishing a life into existence on Earth. Star could be her brother is Disney didn't want a love interest, maybe he can't tell her until she discovers it herself because of the wish.
I agree
the Miraculous reference made me so happy lol. my profile picture clearly shows i’m a fan; though, honestly, i can’t believe that Gabe x Nathalie is the closest thing we have to an evil couple. like, Gabe’s so unwilling to let go of his wife that he isn’t letting himself have a relationship with Nathalie, though they are (or were) so obviously in love. too late now, i suppose. 😒
I love this whole thing! So right! It was flat. I had high expectations because the trailer was so cute.
thank you!!! i agree T-T this movie could've been so much cuter 😭😭
when i listened to the At All Costs demo, it made me think of two parents singing to their child as a kind of lullaby to help them sleep. perhaps it could’ve been the song the king and queen sung to their child before they lost him/her, showing just how much they loved their child.
What a load! They made Asha’s friends like the Seven Dwarves, yet draw the line on Star being a shapeshifting Starboy because they’re afraid he would be like the Genie.
I wonder if they should reanimate this movie if that’s more satisfying like redesign star into a boy meaning they would have to rewrite the plot if Disney could do that it would make 100 years more entertaining
I wonder if they could make the excuse of 101st anniversary and remade the movie 😂💚
A good flaw that I think it could make to the final, even better with the idea that Asha wanted to be a sorcerer, is her being a perfectionist. And it even adds to her personality on the concepts where the original Asha was more reserved and serious, the opposite to star boy.
Like, it could be a real thing between her and the goal to ba a sorcerer, like, maybe she doesn't believe on herself bc she still sees micro flaws on her studies.
The most I got from the star concept was that one song that was like STARBOYYYYYYY
The only thing I don’t like about Asha’s design is that it looks like live action Ariel’s lol BUT I STILL LOVE IT SM
I guess she does a little? haha but same I still love it!! 💚
FOR GOD'S SAKE I WANTED TO SEE SOME ROMANCE BLOOMING AGAIN IN DISNEY MOVIES LIKE HOW IT WAS BACK THEN😭😭
HELPPP you naming Gabriel and Natalie as the only Disney villain couple you could think of had me rolling on the floor 😂 and I agree, Star Boy should have been there. Petition to have Disney remake Wish and BRING BACK STAR BOI
Your concept of Star Boy is SO GOOD!! I love it!! It's such a shame it didnt happen fr smh
THANK YOU SO MUCH1!!!! 😭💚💚💚 it's a shame fr
These are my favourite redraws of the Wish concept art I've seen so far! I love all of them- and you actually gave Asha the magical dress transformation we were robbed of in the movie.
Can you imagine Asha asking Star where he is from if he has a family and he says of course and points up 👆 and says “the sky is my home and all the stars are my brothers and sisters”
Ok. Hear me out.
Asha lives in this seemingly very peaceful kingdom, ruled by a very powerful wizard couple, said to be able to grant any wish each month if you are worthy enough. Since she encountered the King a few months/years ago, she gave up her dreams to him for it to be granted later. She then lived a boring but happy life, carefree, but feeling like something was mising. Each month she attends the ceremony in hope to be granted her wish in vain, each time she comes home demoralized, but the next day hopeful she'll get it the next time. It goes on and on, until one day her grandpa which she was very close to (a father figure) dies without ever having been granted his wish, causing her to doubt whether she would get hers. After all, behind the mask, everyday she struggles to get up, nothing meant anything anymore since she gave her dream away), but she has to keep on, she has to beleive that one day her life changing wish would be granted, not that she would remember it, but she has to beleive. That's what she's been told her whole life : One day, it will all be worth it.
It's not the first time someone died without knowing their forgotten dreams in the kingdom, but she's always felt sad about it. As she rummages through the stuff she and her grandpa shared since her childhood, she finds a trinket, something she had forgotten about, but had something she promised her grandpa to do with. Asha studies it long into the night, having completelly forgotten what the promise was about, but wishes about fullfilling it. Thing is, under the stars, her newly-born dream calls upon a star to fall. Yep, it's Starboy, who completely didn't expect to be summoned, hells, he though that was only a legend his star-people told because people stopped call upon them eons ago (because King Magifico and the Queen basically stored away everyone wishes) but in order to ascend back, he has to grant the wish of the person, well easy enough, just needs to be told, but again, Asha's wish is unknown to herself (note : There are a few rules a Starling cannot grant : they cannot influence another person's desires, go back in time and they cannot undo death, which Asha asked for). So Starboy who wishes to go back home accompanies Asha in her quest to find her memories back, discovering feelings for each others along the way, leading them to investigate on the King and Queen's whereabout and why they don't grant everyone's wishes, which has Starboy suspicious about.
Turns out, the King and Queen were never... Wizards. They never had the power to grant wishes. They managed to shackle a Starling centuries ago, when he/she came to them when they wished to bring back their child back. When the Starling couldn't grant their wish, they've emprisonned it forced him/her to use the celestial's powers again and again, to grant their wishes over and over for themselves instead of letting it ascend back to the stars. People forgetting about their dreams was them forcefeeding the Starling to avoid letting him/her deperish without the connection to the stars' magic so it can keep granting wishes over and over, power, riches, staying young and other... Since they couldn't affect their subjects directly, each month they would continue to feed hope on people about granting their wishes, but the ones they reward the people with were never the dreams people entrusted them, these are gone, instead they give what people think may give them happiness, but never what they truly lost.
Asha and Starling free the Starling, expose the evilness of the King and Queen to the kingdom and finally defeat them with Asha wishing to Starboy to send them somewhere they will never hurt anyone again. Since Asha's wish got granted by banishing the evil royal couple, she cannot use one to remember the promise to her grandpa, nor the things she's forgotten, nor the other people's dreams. The Kingdom is devastated that the memories will never be recovered, but people will heal over time. Starboy's duty done, he must go home with the other Starling, Asha and him cry, because they'll probably never see each other again, Starboy admits his feelings for her, saying that she made him do something a Starling's never done before : He started to dream for himself , that he could stay with her. That's when the saved Starling approaches Starboy, telling him that they can grant his wish of staying, but that he will never be able to come back home again, that it'll make him fully human. He accepts, loses all his magical abilities, his hair stops glowing etc...
Epiloque : both are happily annoying each oter like a nice healthy couple as the kingdom gets rebuilt, people started building their own dreams again. All ends good.
That's it, I want to see this in a frickin movie now, what do you think ?
Que yo lo haría serie😮 🎉🎉🎉
*why is star boy so perfect...?*
I love that you brought up Shrek's character arc because yes, he has a way better character arc than Asha. Funny how Dreamworks can write better protagonists twenty years ago (and even today with Puss in Boots the Last Wish) than freaking DISNEY. Also your art is so pretty! Asha and the Queen look beautiful and Star Boy looks so cute!!
maybe it could be something like this asha could be the real princess and one day a couple of wizards arrived in the kingdom and somehow tricked the former king and queen and stole their throne and the star boy could be the secret behind their power and At some point he escapes and disguises himself in a human form and so he ends up meeting Asha and they both feel a connection with each other for sharing this feeling of something being taken from them even though asha has no memories of her past, and they have to face the king and queen and gradually get to know each other. better and maybe the star boy needed to contain his power so as not to be found and Asha ends up finding out about her past but no one opposes the king and queen because they tell everyone that they have much more to offer and so on (I know that It's cliche and kind of bad but maybe I'll try to do something with it) 😅
Thank you for bringing it up I don't know why they were so worried about starboy being similar to the genie the genie was adored If they didn't write no one would give a s*** that Are similar
ikr?? it was just a pitiful excuse to not give the mc a love interest 😭
Your voice is so sweet, and your energy is wonderful! :D
awwww thank you so much!!! :D
Instead of having Amaya teaming with Magnifico,I would’ve preferred a backstabber Amaya,like she teams with Asha so that when she’s queen she’d be evil herself so that she can be the girl boss she is,and maybe if they wanted a good ending that could make opportunity for a sequel and the whole movie would be 10x better
I really can't understand why Magnifico is supposed to be the villain. He founded Rosas on an uninhabited island, took in refugees from all over the world without discrimination, provided for them, collected no taxes, and allowed anyone, regardless of status, to petition him for one wish. He doesn't even lie to people to get their wishes. He flat out tells them that they'll forget their wishes after they are given to him, but that he'll protect them, which he does. It's a pretty good deal. You either get what you want or you stop wanting something you can’t have. That's win-win.
We're supposed to see him as unreasonable for not granting Sabino's wish, but Sabino wished to mind control an entire generation. He didn't want to be a great musician. He wanted to "inspire the next generation." He also didn't specify what he wanted to inspire people to do, but even if he had, he was asking Magnifico to use his magic to compel people to be inspired by him. That's evil.
A lot of wishes we see have similar pitfalls, like the lady who wanted the "perfect nanny." Granting that wish would necessitate turning somebody into a slave to that woman. We actually see what happens when he grants one of these types of wishes when it comes to Simon, who wanted to be "the most loyla knight." He gets brainwashed because it is literally impossible to grant his wish without brainwashing him. Magnifico was right.
Everything we see him do is to protect Rosas and its people. Even when he turns to the book, it is out of concern for others. When we see him contemplating using it for the first time, he is staring at the burnt tapestry from his homeland and vowing not to let what happened their happen to Rosas.
His reaction to Star's presence isn’t even unjustified. He's the only magic user in Rosas, and suddenly, there was an incredibly powerful magical presence even greater than his own. Of course, he'd perceive that as a threat. Star invaded his kingdom while armed with the power to destroy it.
If Magnifico is the villain, why does removing Asha from the story result in everyone living happily ever after?
exactly!! nothing makes sense and the villain is not a villain at all just terribly written 🫠
Head canon: Evil king/queen use not just wishes but hopes and dreams of the people (many which could be realistically accomplished) to fuel magic. Asha 1)forgot the childhood dream of being a princess or 2)gave up/sacrificed her own dreams and hopes for a hurting father/friend/family and didn’t get her own dreams. BUT this means she isn’t under the magic’s control. So starboy finds her the only free person, and with starboy she discovers new joys and fun things and learns the values of wishes, and develops her own (maybe related to star boy wink wink romance) but that also puts her in danger of being controlled which builds conflict alongside the monarchy chasing after star boy’s power. It comes together in a final confrontation with Asha’s external and internal conflicts. They triumph over evil and Asha becomes a princess (her forgotten childhood dream) with star boy becoming a prince, and they know how to rule well and help people work towards their own hopes/dreams.
Great videos btw, keep working hard!
I think it would be interesting to explore the Star Boy as a much more chaotic magical being, maybe half of his wishes just blow up into random magical nonsense (singing animals?) or don’t make any sense at first cause he doesn’t actually know how to control his magic or maybe he just doesn’t know what people want (cause he was a star that wasn’t wished on for a long time). Asha and Star Boy could explore the city figuring out people’s desires and pushing them towards granting them themselves helping to remove the reliance on the evil couple for wishes being granted. Then they both would gain romantic chemistry during the process.
First comment?
Love your drawing of Starboy 😍
Hehe welcome! Thank yooou 🥰🫶🫶
Your backstory for the "evil couple" isn't bad..... but I have a better one that also concerns Star...to a certain extent. I can't explain it here because I'm working on a fiction rewrite of Wish and it might cause spoilers. But I'm agree with you: Magnifico isn't really a villain. More a spoiled brat.
ooooo please link your fanfiction once you're done writing it! i'd love to read it!!

I actually love the idea of the king and queen going more and more insane after losing their child! Ive been thinking about rewriting the movie myself as a passion project someday, and that idea just might be perfect! Wouldnt it be even more interesting if Magnifico and Amalya (or however her name is, they made her so forgettable in the movie :
same!! i really felt like it could've been so much more!! and a lot of people in the comments had great ideas for improving the movie too!! I like your idea also :D
@@JyunaYT absolutely!!! And tysm! I just thought about it while watching your vid :D
Thank you too!! Let me know if you ever write something about it!!! I’d love to read it 💚💚
Another Studio needs to DO their Original Concept with Different Names for the Character and Kingdom LMAO I still would like to see it. Hell, I'd even watch an animated episodic version of it. If a Movie Length is too short (despite Movies in older Eras could also be as long as 3+ hours, and how Theatre in Ancient Days could LITERALLY take the span of DAYS), then an episodic version would be PERFECT in introducing each character's background slowly and steadily, building tension and teamwork. They can even have the 1st episode have half of it show the issue like "So, this is happening. This is my Life now.... but first, let's rewind and take a moment to see how this all came out this way." Then it goes back to the moment it beforehand. It's a great place to get people interested. Plenty of animations AND books alike have started their Trilogies this way!
They could have put some of Jack Frost's personality so he was: Serivous, protective, fun and loving. To give him character.
You should actually be the movie creator❤.
I would have crushed so hard in Star Boy and I'm Aromantic so that's saying a lot
lmaoooo Star boy really be stealing everybody's hearts 💚
These redesigns are gorgeous!
Thank you!! 💚💚😚
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a group of people complain more when it comes to deleted scenes for a film. And here I am just enjoying the film that we received in the best quality possible.
I haven't seen the film, but I think the idea of personifying a wish and having Asha connect to that person would serve the overall story in a compelling way that'd make it actually hard to give up your wish to Magnifico when it's so personal not only to the protagonist but we as the audience know why it matters to her and can see the personified relationship and connect to them both. It makes us root for Asha keeping her wish if we know the meaning and care about the relationship there. Having a dream personified like that and going on a journey with them feels very much the essence of Disney films and the whole motif of "when you wish upon a star".
I'm not too interested in seeing the film, but the more reviews I see about I feel like Wish was more of a rough draft. Like as it is, I imagine it's a lukewarm film, not great but not terrible. But it doesn't emotionally move you in the way a Disney film (or any genuinely good movie) should. The ideas presented in the final product needed more refinement before it hit the silver screen.
Like I said, I haven't seen it so I don't know how accurate that all is. I kinda want to see it now though just to see the potential of what could have been and to see if I agree with the reviews I've stumbled across.
To add on to the thought with the king and queen having a kid, what if the kid they “couldn’t have” was the star boy in some way. That would possibly add some things to the story in some way.
Then in the end if star boy and asha get together she would become a princess and take over the kingdom in the end. 🤷♀️ random thoughts lol
broooo that would be so emotional and sad 😭😭 it would be interesting to see!!
Eso mismo me inventé yo!!!! 😆😆
Te lo explico aquí.
Las estrellas tienen su propia apariencia, como hadas alienígenas, así que para mezclarse Star boy usa la apariencia humana que está en un deseo pedido a las estrellas que nunca fue concedido por qué no era el destino. El deseo era "deseamos poder tener un hijo varón". Y Star boy se ve como un magnífico joven, con detalles de Amaya. Cuando los reyes lo ven quedan impactados y recuerdan la frustración de que nunca pudieron tener lo que tanto habían suplicado
The 'Star' Jyuna drew reminds me of Keefe Sencen from KotLC
I really wish Disney would have gone down this path for star because asha is kind, caring, funny, joyful and dependable and star is the the same and if star was a boy I think asha and star boy would be a really cute couple
You're drawings are adorable! I love the way you drew Starboy And I actually like your takes! I think maybe with magnífico and his wife what could've happened is a genie situation where he grants wishes but can't bring people back from the dead so they get jealous and envious over time being able to grant others wishes while they can't wish their child back and so they start withdrawing from granting people's wishes and decide to end up holding back and not granting anyone's wishes entirely
And since people would have been used to getting what they want getting their wishes granted all the time the kingdom got dependant on magnifico which would also double pressure on him along side his duties as a wish granter
With the kingdoms dependence they'd end up boring of life and whatnot fearing risks fearing failure fearing that they won't succeed in the things they want cause they depend on magnificos wishes
After the whole thing with magnífico that asha sees that they refuse to give people's wishes due to their built up twisted-ness after she's thrown out she feels bad helpless she knows what they're doing and is afraid of what to do maybe after she has like a pretty song about how wishes are a desire that we have the power of making come true and maybe she has a moment where she wishes upon a star for the wishes to be free so people can have a chance of making them come true
Then Starboy appears from that wish I do like the concept of Starboy being mute makes for an interesting dynamic and we don't see mute characters much I know a good example of mute characters is sandman from rise of the guardians I think Starboy transforming or using stardust imagery would be cool for him to communicate but someone did point out the song with asha and magnifico together singing about wishes did have a duet/romantic vibe and was speculated as being starboy and ashas song I personally love either way Starboy being mute or speaking cause you can also have musical moments with him and have him express vocally some interesting things I definitely recommend you watching the deleted scenes they're really good
But anyways Starboy and asha fight to free the wishes seeing asha stand up for it being inspired being risky going for it inspires the townfolk cause lemme tell ya seeing someone fight for their dreams for their desires is absolutely inspiring and beautiful
And I think that for asha becoming the next queen after they free the wishes asha will inspire people to chase their wishes on their own she will encourage people that a wish no matter how big or small can be accomplished by oneself and desire to make it reality and it'd be sad but I think starboy should be sent back as a star now that ashas wish was granted a bit of a starcrossed love story and she'll always be reminded of him and what she fought for everytime she looks up into the sky at that star
I am no writer nor do I make movies or anything like that! Just some ideas inspired by your concepts jyuna xD
I think it would be a cool idea if they originally wanted to bring back their child but they got corrupted by power and at the end it’s revealed that they could’ve brought their kid back any time they wanted but they chose not to because they would be left with no magic. Kind of a twist of giving villains a fake sympathetic backstory when their actions don’t match that
This is Disney’s 100th anniversary, something to look back on and be amazed by. Original Starboy fits well, even by being inspired by Peter Pan and is similar to Genie works for the 100th Anniversary, much better than the scattered references that fill the film so blatantly. And having the King and Queen an amazing villainous duo! I have never wanted something more than bad guys being bad, but being respectful and loving to one another. And loyal! In most films I’ve seen a bad guy will ultimately turn on the other when things get tough, but imagine if the King got in trouble, the Queen sees he’s losing and finds something to help him (be that a spell or weapon or something).
And Asha. They could’ve started her off as someone who doesn’t think or want love, and being closed off to the townspeople, slowly leading her down a path to that of the King and Queen, but then she encounters Starboy, someone who’s joyous, playful and caring, who opens up her heart to not just him but the people she is meant to serve.
The original concept could’ve brought in together an original film everything that made Disney Disney. A loving protagonist couple, an evil villain, a strong story written by professional writers (not writers who don’t even know that you’re not meant to give your character what they want. Even beginner writers know that), a team who worked together through the entire process (something I feel so sorry for the songwriter in Wish as they gave her three weeks with very little info on what the story was about). It could’ve been Disney’s biggest film, and it’s sad that it’s not.
It would be better for Asha to be the first orange Disney princess and also here story would be better her dad and the mother wish would love to have another baby also and Asha father gets tired instead of pass away and instead the grand father I’ll be the mothers birthday wish and star boy and Asha deserves to fall in love with star boy 😢also but like her dreams she would be a great queen one day instead being a fairy godmother
yeah!!! Asha should've been a princess/queen!!!! 😤😤💚
Go with this. As we know a set of rules for some wish makers is no bringing the dead back to life, no forcing love and no more wishes. What if they had a child, the baby died and that no bringing dead back to life was a thing. What if the queen was informed she couldn’t have another child or risk losing her own life. So the two set out to find a way of bringing their child back to life…by using the wishes of others, what if the king found a way to use the other wishes as fuel or a catalyst to bring back the child. Food for thought.
I watched Godzilla Minus One, y'know, a movie made for it's 70th anniversary, and I fk LOVED IT, how comes Disney, celebrating 100 YEARS, messes up THIS BADLY???
IKR??? It had SO MUCH POTENTIAL! it's not like they didn't even had good ideas
Well...during these last few months I've been seeing how people have used the original concept arts to reimagine the characters we got in the wish movie, and it honestly makes me very happy to see how much of the artist community has gotten down to it the work to bring these ideas to reality! I really think that there were many opportunities to carry out the conceptual arts...which would be to make the kings villains, both the queen and the king, and that the star was going to be a boy 💫.
I think something interesting could have been that Asha was the king's assistant, who ended up reigning thanks to the people choosing her or that she had been the adopted daughter of the king and queen, then becoming a princess worthy of reigning after having defeated his own parents...and of course this would be with the help of the star boy, oh and thinking about him, damn, I still can't fully think if he would stay in the world with Asha? would he have to go with his family? would he have to leave and he could return from time to time to visit the human world? because since nothing was explained to us about that star's background, we have no idea, and I have also seen comments that say that he would have been Disney's Jack Frost and I would loved him! 😭😭😭
yeah!!! so many missed opportunities!! people in the comments and I have imagined many scenearios!! Asha being the king's apprentice, being the queen and king's daughter, the Star being king and queen's son, the list goes on!! I'm still baffled that the community has more sense of good writing than a giant animation company haha 💚💚
@@JyunaYT Sometimes I think that all the community together could do it better if we had the chance (Sorry for the mistakes in the comments, english isn't my first lenguage wahaha)
I agree!! also don't be sorry for sometimes making grammar mistakes! i'm not an english native either :D
It will never not anger me that they changed the original concept of the film. We could've had our first villain power couple and it could've been a cool juxtapose to Asha and Star as a couple. Showing two healthy couples. One sent down a dark path with a selfish goal and the other the path of heroes. Showing both people in both of the relationships rely on each other and show how both of them are needed in their respected relationships. This would also be a good contrast between the "I don't need no man" princesses that came before. The only change I would've made is I would've given Star curly hair. The straight hair makes sense with the smooth design of the star's final product depiction, but I would've loved for them to play with the visuals of clouds and incorporate that into his hair. I would've let him keep the golden glowing clothes, but I would've made his irises golden(maybe golden glowing freckles across the bridge of his nose to kind of match Asha but I'm not entirely sold on the idea) as well and given him a cute mop of curly cloud like hair that changes color with the time of day. During the day it's white. During the night it's a smoky black. And I would've had an emotional scene between Star and Asha (I'm thinking either a moment where they have an argument that causes them to seperate right before the big climactic "final fight" scene or a fake out death scene right after the big climactic "final fight" scene) take place at the end of the day while the sun is setting. His hair would start off as a dim white and slowly shift between pink, red, orange, and then end off as a dark smoky blue as the sun sets. I'd also have the hair be in near constant motion like a cloud and give it more of a floaty visual. Even though this story concept completely went to waist, hopefully Disney will see how many fans actually want to see two relatable characters being in a genuine healthy relationship that has both partners on equal footing instead of the the copy and paste "adorkable" princesses that only needs her trusty animal sidekick that we've been getting.
Aisha was supposed to be the king and queen's daughter. She could've been the good amongst the evil, seeing what he parents were doing wasn't right but feeling powerless with no magic of her own. That could've completely changed why she wished on the star. And it would make her the very first Disney Princess, as this movie is supposed to be set in a time period before all the other movies are set.
And they still could've made Star Boy the marketable plushie he is now. If he's a shapeshifter, he could've been in that star form when they first met and transformed into a boy when she was freaking out. Or to use that form to hide better when in danger. Or to take that form for some comedic moments.
Hear me out, what if the evil couple to have a child or a distant cousin that related to the royal blood. Which the child/cousin can be Asha's friend that was part of her 7 friends, but cuz she didn't have magic power, she/he didn't fight for the throne.
And I would like for the King and Queen to be evil because they might not able to cast a wish for themselves (the wish could be something like take over the world, or wanting people to stop wishing so they won't have motivation to someday wish for the throne). And seeing the books that they needs 100th wishes to granted, they selected some wishes and only granted 1 out of many wishes from many years. This caused people to not have motivation or stop having wishes cuz they felt like with the powerful King, they don't need to wish anymore. And with the wishes trapped in the castle, it drained Star Boy, hence why he started to lose his power. And Asha wanting to help Star Boy, went on the journey to defeat the evil couple. They will have some battle fight mentally with the concept of having wishes should and should not be granted, and wondering if the citizen should take back their wishes or let someone controls it.
But in the finale, the citizen and also the child/cousin realized the important of having a wish and the motivation to strike for it. And maybe after defeating the evil couple, the kid/cousin took the throne.
Then for the finale, it could have a sad farewell of Star Boy and Asha. Cuz he had to go back to the sky now that he had his power back, so he can do his duty of granting wishes. Asha wishes for him to stay but he can't. Instead, he promised to come back one a year as a comet, just like they met. And he told her while some wishes can't be granted, he wanted her to never stop having more wishes as it can be the greatest source in a people's life. And even sang the song "When you wish upon the star" as their last farewell
3:29 I think it would have been easy to use star as a reference to genie! That would’ve been perfect bro!
Currently doing my own version of Wish, that I've combined with my Peter Pan inspired story, to make something original. Like only the concept of wishes being physical, an evil queen, an apprentice, and the star boy resemble wish anymore.
Edit: Forgot to add, my evil queen also has a dead son, just not with the king and he's not very important to her, but was to the king.
sounds really cool!!! definitelly has better ideas and character development compared to the original movie loll link the story if you ever plan on publishing it somewhere! i'd love to read it 💚💚
@@JyunaYT I plan on making it a webtoon, but that'll take at least a year or two to get started, so idk if I'll be able to remember to link it.
No worries! Maybe I’ll stumble upon it while scrolling through webtoon in 1-3 years :D
Who doesn't want a cute, mischievous, shape shifting star boy, how dare you Disney
