If Asha was the daughter or already an apprentice to the king and he and his wife are both villains would have been interesting, and the Star was a Star boy like Peter Pan would have been better!
16:16 Even characters from smaller budget Disney movies showed grief at losing a loved one, like Kovu from The Lion King 2: Simba’s Pride. As his own mother fell off a cliff to her doom because of her own pride & refusal to let go of the past, he lets out a sigh which I can only describe as one of deep sorrow & disappointment. He’d already turned on her by this point but he’d still grown up loving her, as any kid does with their mother, even if there’s issues. It was brief but said all that it needed to. Rather than have Magnifico be trapped in the staff, I think it would’ve been better to just have him be consumed & destroyed by the magic of it & show Amaya alone, grieving her loss with a heartbroken expression or even just a single tear.
Exactly. I think that would have helped her character feel more realistic and showed the complexity of emotions around losing someone in your life, even if it's because they made bad choices.
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. Also we should see the impact of people not having their wishes. Like we should actively see people feeling sad and depressed
The concept art looked amazing, and I think Asha having a more personal connection with the King and Queen would have worked much better. I will forever be sad we didn't get our Star boy and Princess love story.
At the end of the day it’s as if though Disney gave its fans a foundation to create a version of Wish they would’ve ‘wished’ to see, like ‘here’s a fun little challenge: we made a concept for you to develop, make your _own_ magic!’ Because all these amazing original songs, animatics and fanarts are coming from the SCRAPPED first ideas for the movie, not the hollow husk we got in theaters.
Right?! I've seen so many videos and posts from people doing their own thing with the story line, or fan versions of a love song between Asha and the Star boy, etc... Like, Disney could have just given us that and had us praising them and this movie instead of wanting to fix it.
I am so sad they didn't do a better job with him and Amaya and their story in the movie. It could have been really interesting if they had taken the time to flesh them out more!
I cannot believe that a movie about wishes has absolutely nothing to say about them. "Be careful what you wish for." is a tagline on the poster and NOT A THING IN THE MOVIE?! Magnifico mentions once a thing about wishes being vague and that being bad, but it's not expanded upon, nor does it come back in a meaningful way. What is a bad wish? According to the movie, all wishes are valid and important. What if somebody wishes for someone else to fall in love with them? Does that violate someone else's autonomy or free will? What if someone's wish directly contradicts someone else's wish? Which one takes priority? What if someone wishes for a bunch of people to die? Any problem with that? I can't believe in this movie so packed with references, that they didn't make Magnifico's rules for wishes the same as the Genie's. No killing, love, or raising the dead. It was RIGHT THERE! A movie THEY made over 30 years ago has more to say about wishes than this movie. What if, instead of Asha's stupid motivation with her grandfather's wish, she wanted her father to come back to life? She was sort of bummed about it in a nonspecific way. That would be something Magnifico would be very justified in not granting. That would give a reason for the whole memory erasure thing. If a person is so focused on a wish that's impossible to grant, it's better for them to forget it than have it eat away at them from the inside. The whole Magnifico thing doesn't work. Where did this evil book come from? Did he fight and defeat evil sorcerers in his past? We don't know! It would be more compelling if it was HIS book and he USED to be evil, but sealed it away and chose to live and rule for good. That would explain the book's draw it has for him and in his breakdown of paranoia and pessimism, he turns to it again and falls into villainy. The movie as it is now gaslights him into being the villain, it's so weird! And why does the Queen know about oil on the fingers prevents evil or whatever and not the King? She and Doc both read the book too and are fine! One more thing, how old are Magnifico and the Queen supposed to be? He founded the kingdom right? Unless there's some magical longevity nonsense we don't see, than Rosas has only been a kingdom for like 50 years max. That would mean Grandpa moved to and gave up his wish when he was in his 50's. That's a long time to be failing as a musician.
For a movie that started development in at least 2018, it's ghastly how bland this is. You make so many good points, and they would have been fantastic risks for Disney to take. This movie is a slap in the face for being the 100th anniversary movie. Maybe they'll learn and in 2037 (snow white's 100th anniversary, so it could be marketed as "100 years of feature length animation!) they'll do better.
When I watched "Wish", I was so horrified at seeing ALL of Wishes including the crushed ones returning to these people who are so selfish for demanding more. Not just GOOD Wishes returning, BAD Wishes returning as well! That act can create many villains, many selfish people, many angry mobs in the future! Wishes are actually two faces of a coin, it can go either to the right way or to the wrong way. King Magnifico got a good point about the vague ones. Wishes are based on their DESIRES, right? They are based on their EMOTIONS and THOUGHTS, right? Humans are capable of ACTING on their WISHES, even capable of changing and twisting what they want if they suddenly remembered their DESIRES. They're not very good at saying specifically what they wants. They can go as far as AT ALL COSTS, with or without help of magic! Oh, Asha, what have you done?
What's crazy is that this movie WAS in production for 5+ years. There were so many good concepts for the movie that got scrapped because the Disney execs couldn't play it safe enough.
It's as though they have forgotten their own roots and what made then the major force they are today. Walt Disney didn't play it safe, and look where it got him.
Wish should've been in a full 2d or in 2.5d like klaus(netflix), paperman or spiderverse. Or disney should've made a crossover(mickey, his friends and all the disney characters) disney movie to celebrate the 100th annivesary.
Would not put it past Disney to just...forget that their hundred year anniversary was coming up, then someone glances at the calendar and there it is, written in big red letters and they're like "oh crap" and threw this together in a matter of months. It's a shame, long gone is the vision that Walt Disney had for his company.
Sad, but with how this movie turned out, not out of the realm of possibility. I have heard rumors that they didn't give the story or song writers enough time... *edit because I thought of something more to add
Sad thing is, I'm pretty sure they started working on Wish in 2016. I remember reading that was the year it was announced, at least. From what I've read, it seems like the creative team got as far as having audio recorded over the storyboards, and then Corporate came in, and butchered the script into the movie we got. So, it seems the better Wish movie might already exist at the studio, just as a really long animatic.
I once defended the movie when it came out. But now that I’ve had some time to think about it, there are SO many problems in it. It really feels like they were so focused on the references to their previous movies that they forgot to make a movie. The film alone has over 100 references!!!
It’s been awesome to see that you’ve been getting more exposure to your channel lately, Laura. Best of luck to you and thanks for your solid review of this movie! Needless to say I am glad I skipped Wish lol
15:35 I mean...He's the equivalent of a celebrity, not just the king, but the Magical Wish Granting King. People fawn over married male celebrities all the time. It's an accurate depiction of people.
actually, the writers did really have not enough time to write. it was said the writers were only given 6 months to finish the story. most likely domino effect of bad decisions to another bad decision.
I believe it! It definitely came off as if they weren't given enough time to finish it, which is ridiculous for a company as big as Disney to not plan ahead properly, but that's what it's come to.
Im atleast thankful that Asha isnt rude and loud and having a sword on her to be more strong and so on. Cause that thing is so annoying Im looking at you, Wendy and Mulab remake
With the way Amaya treats Magnifico at the end. It makes her appear as one thing, heartless. Callous doesn't care. The emotions she had at the start are ultimately revealed as a lie, which makes her shallow and ultimately worthless, showing that she's a prop and not a true human being. Making her completely unlikeable. For the political message is more important than any emotional meaning sadly. :(
Yeah, there's a large movement of people online saying that the ending and the treatment of Magnifico is opposite of what other Disney Heroes in the past have done. They used to show compassion and try to help their enemies from falling to their death. But in Wish, they are everything you said; shallow, cold, and uncaring.
@@yourlittlesistersproductions I know, and that's sad. What's even worse is that the creators might not see it that way and, even worse, might try to justify it. This is dreadful to think about and will ultimately prove how detached they are from understanding who people truly are and what they want to be. This is not good to show your children ultimately. I would encourage people not to watch this movie for that very reason.
this would be an OK-average movie if it wasn't the damn 100th anniversary of Disney. with it the movie falls flat on its face, but hey, in 5-6 years yt will be littered with videos on how an amazing, underrated "gem" Wish was 🤢 btw the songs in Wish are so forgettable I was seriously confused then someone mentioned an awkward "love song" in it. turns out it was the song with Asha and the King. I had managed to push it out of my memory as I was cringing hard the whole time listening to it in the theatre. it gives off inappropriate vibes by being in that particular scene with these 2 characters😆🤣
@@yourlittlesistersproductions me either! It was supposed to be a love song between a scrapped character and Asha. The scrapped character was Star Boy and it would’ve been their love song. Surprised they kept the song in.
@@Epic_Halfblood They changed a few words here and there from the original, but it didn't work as well as I think they were hoping it would. They should have kept the love story in for sure.
Your video was amazing I have the exact same opinions of wish that you do for me. Wish is my worst movie of 2023 because Disney wasted so much potential for this movie And hired the worst writers where the movie the AI generated The songs were horrible and forgettable. The characters were bland as tofu animation while pretty did not live up to the standards of other movies worst of all the movie also had a very bad message to teach for kids and saying that it’s OK for everybody to get their wish no matter how bad or good it is which is just horrible to teach for kids as someone who has cousins who are little kids it just makes me so mad and upset The most unforgivable thing about this movie is what they did to King Magnifico and especially his villain song which was the worst part of this movie and another unforgivable thing that made me so mad is they were going to make the king and queen evil star, being a shape shifter, and a love interest for Asha and the movie, the hand drawn animated just imagine how amazing it would’ve been and us getting a Disney villain couple song But no, the directors at Disney had to waste potential and make a bland movie that is not worthy of the 100 year celebration title Once upon a Disney, which came out on Disney+ is a way better movie to celebrate Disney’s 100th anniversary And at least we got 2D animation and 3D Animation in it Once upon a Disney is worth Disney’s 100 year celebration title I’m planning on doing a rewrite for Disney’s wish with my sister-in-law since that movie made us so angry because of it being boring, bland, generic And wasting lots of good potential hopefully, Disney will make good movies again since I miss good movies from them and hopefully 2024 will be a wake up call from a disaster of a year Disney had in 2023 Fingers crossed That 2024 will be a better year for Disney
Glad you liked the video! I'm also so sad that Disney wasted this opportunity. I really hope we get a second Disney Rennaissance era after all these bad movies the past few years....
