Not a single one of these brands has been left untainted and I honestly wondered at one point if there was some deliberate sabotage happening in the studio.

    The scene where you see him and Asha where they are singing in the beginning he is singing about protecting all of the wishes meanwhile she sees her grandfather's wish and literally no joke runs through all of the other wishes scattering them knocking them all over and only grabs her grandfather's wish singing about only preserving his wish.
    It's interesting to see the "hero" act like a villain as usually it's the villain who will smash wishes but it's a sharp contrast to see the villain protecting and caring for every wish and the hero trodding underfoot everyone else's wish to serve her own ends.
    That couldve been a good moral the main character appreciating all wishes and all people but no the king had to turn cartoonishly evil and asha is just morally pure and learns absolutely nothing

    In the beginning, the VERY beginning, Disney grew by making family-friendly, CLASSIC, tried and true stories. Now, they are trying to Frankenstein together "new" stories, using disconnected elements of the other stories. It does not work. There is a reason those early stories were classic. And today's Disney has no clue how to do that.

It's such a NOTHING film.

      Blame Bob Iger. Instead of growing and cultivating creativity, Bob Iger bought Pixar, bought Marvel, bought Lucas Film and bought Fox. He then alienated and chased out those that made those brands popular primarily due to ESG/DEI and social credit scores. Sprinkle in a little neo Marxist corporatism, which is bizarre to spell out and that is how we got here today.

      Not true you really think they care about anything let alone people. They pay people so badly they living in their cars that work the park. No stop thinking these huge corporations have a soul no they a mind less company that only think about making money period. Like all companies they make horrible decisions in trying to make money in fact lose money. The increase the top pay and decrease the little guy pay. Also what hurts then the most they can easily steal people ideas they use to come pot to them thinks to the internet. So they decided to just pay up everything why have a lot of competition specially sense the government isn’t regulating companies like it should for monopolies. There shouldn’t be bailout that a clear sign if a company to big to fail it is a monopoly period. We in the time where just about all our seeds that grown is own by only five companies, media just three companies, etc that not good at all. If people pay attention to all the huge anti business patience they would be shocked. But few pay attention many work for huge soulless companies that care less for their workers that work in them.

    You know what would be fun? A movie about a magic castle where all the princesses are send because there's a new villain; they have to work together to defeat him. Maybe he's de mon and separate them in differents rooms where there's traps; the girls have to find a way out and one to beat him. Sounds more creative than what we got.
    I watched it yesterday and the ONLY good thing in it is the animation; the rest was bad.
    - The goat was not funny and didn't give advices to Asha or make a diversion so she can stole the king's staff.
    - The songs are not memorable except '' Make this wish! '' and the villain's song 😐
    - Asha's friends are not developped so i didn't care about them. I can't remember any of their names.
    - There's 2 action scenes, the chase with the king and the battle. That's it! A bit dissapointing to not see Asha uses magic to try to defeat him ☹Also none of her fiends helped her like Mushu did with Mulan, she didn't tricked him like Aladdin did with Jafar or fight him alone like Simba with Scar. There was no battle, she just sings and win.
    - I can't find a moral in the movie. I tried but it's hard. Am i the only one who can't see it?

      If they ever make the movie, Disney will definitely turn the princesses into "narcissistic" independent feminists like what they did to Rapunzel in Wreck It Ralph.
      Rapunzel literally befriended all the men in the og movie and she survived because of Flynn! Her saying that he's "just a big strong man" is so out of character!
      Disney clearly doesn't study their own characters, that's why the princesses in act so inaccurately in spin-offs especially Aurora.

    I appreciate that you are a Disney fan in general. I am a bit more of a DreamWorks guy myself, but in general I like Disney for sure. It is sort of off-putting when you hear someone bagging on Disney pretty hard despite all the magic Disney has created, at least in general, but like you said maybe not so much as of late. As far of this movie, aw, skip it or maybe give it a see on Disney+ one day.

      Disney isn't the same company now. This reanimated corpse hasn't done anything but eat itself for years now. It's not even the failure of a greedy corporation - they're a _caricature_ of a greedy corporation deliberately destroying themselves, apparently for sh*ts and giggles.
      They took the biggest franchise in the history of entertainment - Star Wars - and deliberately drove away the fan base that made it worth $2B a movie. They bought all of Lucasfilm for $4B, and in 11 years have barely made their money back. They built Marvel into a $2B/movie franchise, then tore it all down. The newest Marvel film is expected to lose money at the box office. They turned Pixar, one of the premiere animated studios, into the modern-day equivalent of a direct-to-video and made-for-tv special studio. Their last in-house animated film, Strange World, lost $250M at the box office, despite being released for Thanksgiving - traditionally a huge day for theaters. Add in that they're remaking all of their old animated classics in unwanted live-action format.
      Disney has even been slow to update their parks, in fact laid several rotten eggs with new attractions like the Star Wars-themed hotel, a lack of general maintenance, and the general degradation in quality and atmosphere; turning their once-sterling theme parks into the trashy, unsafe sleaze-fests that Walt wanted to avoid. (To top it off, their theme parks are being outdone by DreamWorks owner Universal.)
      Disney even closed down two well-respected video game studios in LucasArts and Disney Interactive, apparently for no other reason than they didn't feel like being in the video game industry themselves, instead of selling the studios for cash.
      Wish is just another failure amongst a sea of recent failures. They don't get a free pass just because they _used_ to be good. The Lion King was decades ago. Frozen was a decade ago. Even Moana was nearly a decade ago now. The future of Disney is determined by what they're doing _now._ And what they're doing isn't pretty.

The problem wasn't the quality of the production it was mostly in the writing and choices made by the director if you ask me,

    The movie reflects the modern degenerate wokism that "whatever I want I deserve !".
    The hero doesn't actually seem like a hero - the king they tried to make as the villain, however to me he seems like the wise, conservative, sane person.
    A better story would of been that the "hero" realizes that giving everyone exactly what they want very quickly can turn into a sheer hell... much like Bruce Almighty. Then again I guess millennial activists don't view old films with a "white male" as having any value ?

We liked the wishing song and the villain song but there was a huge lack of character development imo. It felt rushed. Having the King be reasonable and then 3 minutes later he's a maniacal bad guy? Talk about a 180. And Asha didnt even get to be the apprentice. I thought we'd see them develop a bit of a master and student relationship first to get us to care about them but nah it just jumps right in and it honestly feels like hardly anything happens?? Also, the goat didn't contribute anything unlike other animal sidekicks in other movies. Him talking was also unnecessary (even if i do like his VA). Lots of unanswered questions too...

Also, the ESG in our movies is sometimes an issue, even if it doesn't bother you, its still ridiculous, and is never actually part of the story, but just shoehorned in somewhere to get those Blackrock points. Also that movie pass thing is going to go bankrupt, as there is no possibility that that can work, with these costs.
