THANK YOU WE REACHED 300K!!! I appreciate you all. Got a special video coming for that sometime soon 🤞🏾
What y’all think of this movie though? Is it a flop or bop?

Wassup billy never stop making these videos mann
After watching you I always drunk water..
This could've been a fine movie if only it wasn't for it being the 100th anniversary, it was such a letdown in that aspect. Not a fan of the animation either it was supposed to be fully 2D but it was a mix with 3D too. It wasn't giving the nostalgia of the 2D era
“Playing with my heartttt” clip has me cackling every time
Literally best song ever Billy do a music video please

Sameeee i realized it’s his parady if the backstreet boys. (Im a 2004 baby so I didn’t know😅)
The way I popped my neck when billy said Isabella from coco.
Haha. We have to love Billy! He owns it, though! And that's what counts!

I think he means that Isabella is from Encanto 😂
@@justlooking6810 thanks
Yes my great great Grandma lived to be 103 but the sad thing is she died on Christmas Day of 2020.
Sorry for your loss.. but that is a blessing to live that long though
I feel your pain.. I lost my mom a week ago.. so sorry for your loss
My grandma passed away too, she broke her leg and died a month later
My Gramma died of cancer on Xmas Eve a few years ago.
Luckily me and my mom got to talk to her a few days before she died ❤
My grandma died Christmas Day too, what a unfortunate thing to be able to have in common with a stranger. I'm sorry for your loss, but I'm happy that she got to live a fulfilling and long life!
there are multiple references to other Disney movies in wish. Asha's friends represent the seven dwarfs that's why one of them is always sneezing!
I loved sitting there picking out the little nods to other Disney movies!!
@@musicsparks8796Same. I am A Disney Fan.❤
@@Aurora-Welch I’m a huge Disney fan/nerd
Yup exactly what I was thinking.
he is the true example of you have to watch the movie to really see if you like it dont look at reviews
I didn’t even know about the reviews of this. I just watched it 😂. I’m surprised how many don’t like it
that's how it is for everything, especially stuff a lot of people are hating on, you have to give stuff chances. you might actually like it
@@BillyBinges I’m not. People just don’t like/trust Disney anymore. It’s no secret they’re struggling
@@Narra0002 you think Disney going broke! lol do you know how many finger they have in so many pies trust me they good!
@Narra0002 Here's the thing going through doing the same thing you've been doing for decades. And whenever they try to do something different people hate them. Like the black cauldron, meet the robinsons, atlantis the lost empire
This movie is a 100 year anniversary movie for Disney and they inserted many references to other Disney movies and me and my family loved it!
Magnifico is such a true depiction of a legitimate narcissist. Not as a buzz word but as an actual diagnosable narcissist. He figuratively feeds off of other people's praise and the moment they start to question him even a little, he flips a switch and gets all pissy. He doesn't truly love other people, he loves what other people can give him. That's why he can so quickly flip from "I'm your amazing hero" into "I hate all of you". Even the way he "protected" the wishes is more like a dragon's hoard of treasure. It doesn't belong to him, but he feeds off the positive energy of those pure wishes. They're like trophies of people's trust and admiration.
Something I remember hearing about with Wish is that something they changed from the storyboard was Star was gonna be a boy and love interest for Asha. And the "At All Costs" song that she and Magnifico sings was actually a song she and Star sing for each other, being more of a love song song between them. I'll be honest, I would've loved it if they did that! But I do like this version of this song a lot lol. I keep listening to the soundtrack and "At All Costs" is one of my favorites! Makes me wanna use it as a bride and groom first dance song at my wedding, whenever that'll be lol!
Having Starboy as a love interest would've been SUCH a "classic Disney" move! Oh my god.
@@KindredKeepsake I don't think so. Think about it. From what we know, Star Boy has no motivation of his own, and no reason to be with Asha other than to grant her wish. He's actively driven by her, and doesn't have anything he can stand on if you remove the aspect of him having to grant her wishes. His entire personality is "I must grant Asha's wish and fall in love with her." There's nothing else there.
@@gamestation2690 He really doesn't add much to the table when you put it that way, but who knows how much could have changed if they committed to him as Star Boy? They would've had to give him a personality, interactions with Asha, and would've had to include him in the dynamics with the other characters. Perhaps he could even have something to do with Magnifico, since they both have wish granting abilities--yet choose to use them in vastly different ways. I think they could've really done something with him in terms of fully developing him. As a regular Star, all he really does is grant wishes and look cute as a marketable plushie... I personally would've preferred Star Boy--developed, anyway.
@@KindredKeepsake If you actually watched the hour long documentary, you’d know that Star’s design was not about making it a marketable toy in the first place. Just because a character has a simple design, does not mean they were designed with the intention of selling toys.
@@KindredKeepsake Whether Star Boy could have worked or not is just a moot point, anyway, because it’s not in the final movie. The filmmakers didn’t think it would work, and one reason is because it would have made him too much like the Genie or Maui.
The message for this movie is so sweet it's perfect to celebrate Disney 100th and the soundtrack is beautiful
It's actually really bad. It ignores that there are bad wishes. And that wishes could actually be harmful. It also has many plot points. Like Asha is actually the villain of this movie. Everyone is so focused on wishes that they never seem to want to do anything to achieve their wishes themselves. All they want is for other people to accomplish their wishes for them. The friends are actually all pretty awful and one dimensional. The only real character is supposed to be the villian and he's really just a misunderstood character who isn't evil until he snaps at the end. Even in the scene where she finds out what happens. He was just kind of throwing out he wanted a successor and she just then asks for him to do something for her while doing nothing first to deserve it. She also acts like her grandpa's wish deserves to be granted for no real reason other than his age.
@@PolitikPolitik-fh2qcIt’s bad, because you are looking at the bad parts of the movie that are CLEARLY meant to be there for plot. How about watching a movie regularly yeah?
@@appleberry_yt many movies don't have things that are absolutely nonsensical lol. It also has a bad message. Most of the music sucks. If every aspect of the movie sucks what am I supposed to focus on? The woke aspects?
The voice actors for asha is Ariana De Bose and playing King Magnifico Is the one and only Chris Pine.💚
So when the movie was first released. I didn't watch it because well. I've seen so many people say it was bad or that it wasn't gonna be good. But i was bored and couldn't find anything new to watch.. So i decided to watch Wish and I was well surprised. It is bad but also good. The songs are just top notch and I love Aisha. But I do wish we got a bit more? Like making the villain well a bit more evil. Like maybe having him steal everyone's wishes and giving them to himself and soon turning those "wishes" into disasters or maybe turning people who don't have a wish into a wish for himself (if that makes sense) plus I do know for the cute little star, he was actually supposed to be human and that was gonna be her love interest and even though i do think the little star is adorable, the star boy probably would've been more awesome. Plus i wish the villains villain song was a bit better. But overall, I actually do like the movie. Its not as bad as people say it is, well to me its not
Ps ; also if you don't like the movie, thats totally fine! But please do not call people liars or say their opinion is wrong. If you can have a opinion about the movie then so can others. You may dislike it, but others may like it. For me i like it, but im not gonna go after someone just because they hate it. Also another thing, don't do what i did. Don't listen to people. Watch the movie for yourself and then see if you actually do like it or not. I listened to people and disliked the movie even though i never seen it. Then i watched it and my opinion changed. But im not saying you have to change your opinion. But watch it first and then make a decision. Don't follow others just because
I like your comment ☺️👍
I think anyone who actually critical considers aspects of the movie would all come to the conclusion it's terrible personally.
I LOVED this movie and people are hating on it for a "poor lyrics." My favorite part of the whole movie was going back through and finding all of the easter eggs! Some of the characters are modeled after Disney classics, or like the guy who betrayed Asha is the design Disney was originally going to use for Anna's initial love interest in Frozen. (or at least a scrapped love interest from another Disney movie)
I AGREE!! THIS MOVIE WAS SO FUN TO WATCH!
This is funnily the most common reason I see people saying they enjoyed it. Which in itself says a lot about who enjoys it and why it's considered bad if this is the best part for most people who liked it.
#bingers I feel like Billy would LOVE Anastasia!! It has a super interesting/unique plot, one of the best animated couples, and an absolute insane soundtrack (even the credits songs are 3 for 3!) Would love to see his reaction 😊
Yess!! Ive been saying this alot i really want him to react to Anastasia!
thats one of my favorite movies , i would love to see billy watch it
My family and I also really liked Wish. The animation probably could be better, but it's not bad, just a little rough. The whole "Do you really have to wait for somone else, outer circumstances or luck to grant you your wishes? Or is there maybe a possibility that there is something you can do by yourself to get closer to your wish fullfilled?" I liked that. Especially as a message for our kids. I don't think this movie deserves the hate it gets. Seems like people had either too high expectations or just wanted to hate it and now stick with it. 😂 Also. The king really scared me. 😅 I liked it.
this movie has really bad messages for kids when you actually critically look at it. I recommend manga writer's breakdown on it.
Finally! I finally watched this movie a few days ago and i LOVED it! I loved the movie and especially the soundtrack! Yet when i looked on youtube for reviews etc to share my enjoyment of it all i have found is people hating on it! I was so sad no one had anything good to say and the songs are so good! I am so happy to finally find a video of someone that feels the same way😊
Thats because it's a pretty bad movie. With terrible themes for children. The music choices were also, this is an opinion of course, pretty weak and doesn't make much sense.
My Great great grandma lived to be 102. We just celebrated my Granny's 100th birthday last year in April. She's still kickin' we hope to celebrate 101 this year.
I’m glad someone else loves the soundtrack too! My favorite thing about this film besides Asha’s character design.
YES! All of these songs SLAP and I hate that no one talks about them! They’re so good!
"Watch out world here I are."
I'm sorry, but the forest animal song sucks. It comes out of nowhere, serves literally NO purpose, and explains nothing.
Most of the songs are pretty bad imo except at all cost. I recommend a review by manga writer. I think he covers the issue with the movie and most of the songs fairly well.
the songs are one of the worst parts of this movie which is saying something. from a musical stand point they are terribly written and from a lyric stand point they make no sense and are clunky
@@morgan1076 I agree if you exclude At all costs.
Also, The thing on Asha's book was a drawing of her pet goat Valentino. He's a goat. 🐐 ( NOT A 🐖 PIG!) Just thought you would like to know.
Thanks for the info!
@@BillyBinges Your welcome! and Valentino Talks in the middle half go the movie right when star appears. And is voiced by Alan Tudyk.
I think people hate too much on this movie. It's not that bad.
Maybe it's not the most spectacular movie expected for an anniversary, but i personally enjoyed it❤
Yeah it's mediocre quiality being their anniversary is more representative of Disney overall failure at quality than as a whole rather than being truly terrible. It's what it represents. I had a fine enough time until I thought about the implications for future Disney.
Most people who hate on haven’t even seen it
@@carterryans yup, and the ones that have seen it, only focus on the bad aspects of the movie. You don't have to love it, taste is relative but it didn't deserve as much hate as it got
it's really really really bad
@@aixalaf8010 it deserved every bit of hate it got. Anyone who thinks other wise watch it through pixie dust lens and don't critically consider the movie and it's themes or the character design. They goo oh disney. Good.
I had “Knowing what I know now” on repeat for ddaayyysss after watching this movie. So good!
I’m SO glad im not the only one that actually liked it😂
I love this movie 😢sad hate it’s getting the songs are amazing and the Easter eggs in this movie
@@Dreamerlighting well maybe for you they are
"this is our message to the people, we'll take them dow, I wanna see then bow in humility" best quote ever
I absolutely loved this movie and I loved all of the references and Easter eggs to other Disney movies. Plus the music is AMAZING!
Thx for giving this movie a chance. And the boy at 33:29, it's supposed to be Peter Pan.
I just watched this movie last night, and I don’t get the hate it got. And with Hazbin Hotel currently my favorite thing this year so far, really got me to appreciate the music here.
I know I have heard a lot of negativity about this movie but I'll be honest, I loved it! The music was great, I have a new villain song to bop to, the style had this nostalgic feel with a modern flair, they put references EVERYWHERE, and it had the theme of love, friendship, being true to yourself, and standing up to the corrupt powers that be (even if they don't see themselves as corrupt). It's a simple story that feels like it was trying to fit a lot of the themes that Disney has had in a lot of their movies through the years. I think it was a great movie that did what it was trying to do, pay homage to the history while looking forward to the future. I saw this in theaters with my mom and son and I haven't felt that much like a kid in a while. Also Chris Pine voices Magnifico and man ate that up! People sleep on him but he be killin it!
100% agree with you. LOVED the soundtrack and I didn’t know Chris Pine COULD SING. This movie doesn’t deserve so much hate. Everyone is allowed to view this movie the way they want but we could at least see the beauty of this story.
Yeah for sure. I feel like the only reason people are hating on this movie, as well as a lot of the other movies Disney have released recently, is simply because it’s popular to hate on Disney movies nowadays. I thought Haunted Mansion was phenomenal, but everyone else just treats it, and Wish, like garbage just because “Disney sucks nowadays”
I didn’t like the villain song at all, but I did love the visual elements to all the music the instrumentals and the vocals of the movie and the animation is top-tier. I feel like the plot was missing a big gaping hole when it talked about his backstory, though I wanted to know more about WHY he did the things that he did that is selling us from a picture.
I also think the movie was more of a flashback of Easter eggs from previous movies then it is to be its OWN movie technically.
@@livywithane I agree in moderation. The movie was missing a lot and they could’ve done better in that department. I would have liked better and more backstory and reasoning behind the actions in this film
He wasn't corrupt and the music is arguably awful and doesn't fit at all. Magnifico was the only good character.
The story was a bit meh but I enjoyed the soundtrack. In the end, I enjoyed watching it. I thought the story would be she would set the wishes free and cause so much chaos because, like the king said, some wishes are dangerous. Her voice is amazing though.
Setting the wishes free didn't grant them, though. It gave people back their power to choose to pursue their wishes.
But the problem was that he wasn’t giving them back and making them forget
@@carterryans that's right. And the fact that Sabino gave up his wish at 18 and it's been collecting dust for the next 82 f**king years while he forgot it entirely makes the Magnifico's red flags clearer
@@SCR33NH3AD Magnifico would have worked much better as a truly evil villain if they had not included the "destroyed home country" backstory, or if they had made it a twist that it was actually him who caused the destruction. The sad background explains (which is not the same as justifies) too many of the things he does, so they end up being "bad choices" instead of "evil deeds".
For examle, him keeping Sabino's wish for fear of a revolution is rooted in his fear of his new home being destroyed like the past one. Without the backstory, it would have been just Magnifico's ego not wanting anyone to stand up to his rule.
They added a lot of narcissist characteristics to him to make him "evil", but it really all lies in the treatment of his past. Scratch it, or turn it around, and then he is truly evil, no evil book needed.
@@SCR33NH3AD Absolutely spot-on except perhaps for one thing. It seems to be taken for granted by many that Sabino was 18 years old when he gave his wish to Magnifico. I am sure that the people who were born on the island do this at 18 but there are also people who relocate to Rosas at older ages as seen in the beginning and both Elena and Esteban seemed somewhat older than 18. Also Sabino looks old in his wish orb and I assumed that people look in their wishes as old as they were when they had their ceremony with Magnifico (unless people age in their wishes as they do in real life or maybe the wish shows them at the age they expect to be when their wish is granted). But what really makes me doubt that Sabino had been waiting 80 years is that this would suggest that Magnifico is as old or older than Sabino. Although it is very likely that Magnifico is older than he seems and maybe he uses magic so that he and his wife look younger, I cannot really see him as being anywhere near 100 years old. Besides, when Asha revealed that her grandfather is 100 years old, Magnifico replied that this is “impressive”, which suggests that he seems it as quite an achievement and he is not that old himself. So, at least in my opinion, Sabino was probably no younger than 50 when he and his family moved to the island and his son was more likely an adult and married to Sakina at that time as well. So Sabino still had to wait about 50 years, which is a long time at any rate.
What a great review!! I just watched this movie yesterday and im loving the little disney easter eggs throughout the movie. You are hilariously spot on.
Some of the songs for this movie are definitely on repeat, and I do love Ariana Debose - she deserves a disney princess-ship for sure. I do think that the pacing for the story felt quite rushed, like the king goes from good guy to villain in what feels like 15 minutes. perhaps it was because they were trying to stick a lot of different elements and references in the movie, like the goat singing to the chickens. If it had an extra 20, 30 minutes to expand on the story I think it would've been great :p
The movie has parts that really do touch something, At All Costs is really lovely, and This Wish is beautiful too.
Overall not a bad movie, but it could've used more work to be great
the real villain is asha.
There are so many Disney easter eggs in this movie for Disney 100 for example the friends representing each dwarf and the blatant Peter Pan at the end and also the Zootopia comment there are SO many more but yall should watch it and see if you can spot them ❤
“This is the Thanks I get” is probably my new fav villain song
I recommend that you watch the movie color purple!💜 it is a really good movie and the songs are a jam!😅
😂 you had me in the first half with your title. Im so glad you enjoyed this... i loved this movie myself and saw it in theaters a few times.
Asha + Star were my favorite characters, and all the songs were great for me. "This is the thanks i get" is probly my favorite
I actually did see this in theaters with my best friend Casey, and we both thought it was absolutely clever, and so many levels! I actually did see this in theaters with my best friend, Casey, and we both thought it was absolutely clever, and so many levels! The animation was incredible. The music, very catchy, and I loved it!

@@Angelacarolinax.no he just watches movies for fun. He’s not a critical reviewer
@@DORAisD34DTrue ♥️🤟
@@DORAisD34D Bruh I was joking but ok 😭
FINALLY!! Someone who loves this movie as much as i did! 😭💞💞
@@SCR33NH3AD Too many people have criticized it for not being what they wanted it to be, and don't even try to enjoy it on its own terms.
@@SCR33NH3AD it doesn't have a point or a plot.
@@SCR33NH3AD thats not a point at all. And yes wishes are fine to both judge and decide on granting them if you are magical sorceror who literally grants wishes. Thats a really nonsensical statement. And yes if your wish is selfish or evil and will cause harm on others. Your wish definitely should be judged.
Asha is 17. And its so refreshing to see someone react to this film positively and actually get the film's story! I agree, the soundtrack is so good! Saw it at the cinema then again on disney+ yesterday. Its one of my fave films.
I actually thought the same thing that this story is amazing, but people take too much time considering what the movie could be rather then what the movie actually is. That's why the movie did so well over seas to become one of the top movies of the season. Cause they didn't come to the theater already ready to be a player hater.
Exactly! Everyone else loved it, but annoying people in the U.S refused to give it a chance and hopped on the “dIsNEy sUcks nOW” bandwagon. I personally loved it and thought it was cute. Low key wish they would’ve kept the star boy/Asha romance, but that’s what fanfic comics are for😂💕
@@naiadolling and just imagine a 2nd movie for wish were the little star makes a wish himself and asha grants it for him.
That wish being the star wanting to be human and see what it's like. By the wish is granted, the star will become the star boy, asha helps him get use to his new human body, and bit by bit they will start to fall in love and become part of the main focus of the 2nd movie.
I'm not sure if they would but this is just what i would think they could do if they did do a continuation of the movie. 😅
@@juliannacam6277 That’s actually a great idea for a sequel! They could even use some of the deleted scenes!
@naiadolling i loved the movie myself. It felt a new movie but also an old school movie at the same time. I love how the movie tells us its possible to make out wishes come true. I dont understand the hate about asha being a godparent. Especially since she probably would give them the tools to grant their own wishes
I don’t understand why this movie was soooo slept on like all the songs were SO SO SO GOODDD ! Like the wish song literally brings tears to my eyes I wish they gave her, her flowers.
It wasn't slept on it was hated on for the lazy animation and story bc it was a pathetic excuse for a 100th-anniversary. The songs are fine but it was bc of Lin-Manuel Miranda. In general, it was very rushed and didn't pay tribute to Disney's golden era.
@@Angelacarolinax.wasn’t it also written during the writers strike?
@angelacarolinao I see why some people didn't like it, but it truly ended up speaking to me and relating to my life. Could’ve been better, but I still loved it. ( I am a sucker for cheasy Disney magic though)
@@randallparker4968 I wouldn't bash anyone for liking something I didn't I was just saying it was slept on at all to many ppl like me it was a very boring and lazy concept for the anniversary.
@@astrowolvez That is a fair point but u would think a huge company like Disney would've planned at least 2 years in advance for such a huge anniversary. Disney lost 200 million on Wish, that's insanity, it doesn't even look great and not 200 mil more like 20 mil.
I actually saw this movie in theatres while i did enjoy it, it’s not like my favourite movie of all time or anything like, that but i still enjoyed as it is.
my great grandmother lived up to be 106 :) #BINGERS please watch the incredibles next! for some reason I thought you'd already reacted to it so I was super confused when I couldn't find it on your channel the other day haha
Your family is very blessed!! I know she took care of herself very well
@@BillyBinges aww that was very sweet.💚
"There go the flip, the flip of the switch! What happened to 'I will protect you', now he's about to put you in harm. See, he crazy. He is crazy." LOL that part had me laughing so much🤣 But that really does describe Magnifico in this film. There are SO many people that actually believe that Magnifico is the hero of the movie and think that Asha is the real villain - Um, did we watch the same movie?? Magnifico is a tragic villain/antagonist at best, he is certainly not the hero. I do think that the movie could've done a better job at emphasizing exactly how harmful what he was doing was (I suppose they choose not to do that because they were afraid to get too dark or whatever), but you can still tell that Magnifico was taking what he himself calls the best part of someone's heart and refusing to give it back. Some may say "well, the people gave it to him willingly" - yeah, because he tricks them into thinking that forgetting is a good thing. At the first wish ceremony, when he takes the two new citizens' wishes, he tells them that "it's a real weight off, isn't it?" when you can clearly see on their faces that they seem scared and lost without their wishes. Someone in the crowd actually screams "forget without regret", which is the same thing that Asha says during the Welcome to Rosas scene, back before she finds out the truth. That whole forget without regret thing seems like some sort of brainwashing phrase or something, so clearly, Magnifico has been able to deceive everyone, even Asha, for a very long time about what he's actually doing.
I also want to address the very huge lie that people are making up about the film that people are using to paint Asha as the villain. People keep saying that she is demanding that Magnifico grant all the wishes. Asha is NOT demanding that all the wishes get granted. I don't know where that narrative came from. She does not want Magnifico to grant all the wishes. She even understands his point about how some of the wishes could be dangerous and she agrees that the bad ones should be stopped - like she is being very rational and reasonable during their conversation. She only asks him to consider giving the good wishes back to the people so they can have a chance to pursue them on their own without his help. So this whole idea that Asha is this selfish, entitled person who wants everyone's wishes to be granted without hard work is a bunch of nonsense.
And Asha suggesting that he gives the wishes back if he won't grant them is not unreasonable. I mean, what is the harm in letting good people have their wishes back? It's almost like he doesn't even want people to have dreams - which that is something he outright says towards the end when he's just completely lost his mind, he literally says there will be "no more hope, no more dreams" and that right there makes me believe that from the beginning, that's what not giving the wishes back was really about. It was about not letting the people have dreams of their own. Like seriously, why not just give the wishes back? I've heard some people try to say that Magnifico only acts the way he does because he's burnt out being king - while I think there's a lot more to it than that, well, if he was burnt out, then that's even more of an incentive to give the wishes back. That'll be less work for him if they just all achieve their dreams themselves. But no, Magnifico weirdly wants to hold on to the best part of everyone... That is a huge red flag and confirms that he is not about protecting the wishes or doing what's best for the people - he just really wants control. He is not the good guy here and this is obvious long before he uses the book of dark magic, because what kind of person would be okay with keeping the best part of everyone all for himself and act in a manipulative way to make people believe that they'll be happy giving their wishes to him when in reality, they'll be unhappy?
I could go on, but this comment is already too long lol. I've been obsessed with this film since I saw it earlier this month. It doesn't deserve all the hate it's getting. It's personally one of my top three Disney films (that's not from Pixar) along with Tangled and Zootopia! Asha is one of my favorite Disney characters ever and Magnifico is actually my favorite Disney villain. Yes, he's the villain, but I really like him as the villain. And I'm open to him being redeemed, if he shows some remorse for his actions - I guess we'll just have to wait for a sequel or spin-off show to see whether that'll happen or not. Anyways thank you for reacting the movie, I'm glad to see someone else finally have a more positive opinion of the film!!
A lot of those criticisms sound a lot like other people's complaints that "Ariel selfishly gave up her voice and body for a man" or "Cinderella is too weak for needing a man to escape her stepfamily" or "Snow White was a weak, stupid girl who got poisoned and saved by a man" or "Belle has Stockholm Syndrome" or "Aladdin is a gold-digger" etc
Also I've seen the video of "Knowing what i know now" as "villain behavior=inciting a mob" and comparing it to gaston's mob song. If that were the case then what do you call Grumpy rallying the dwarves against the queen? Or Phoebus rallying the townspeople against Frollo and his soldiers? Or Simba and Nala gathering the lionesses against Scar and the hyenas? Or Mulan's "I'll make a man out of you? (including the reprise)"?
Interestingly also there's Magnifico becoming "the magic mirror" as having the "space of reflection." He hasn't really considered that for every wish crushed there's the human ability to pick up the pieces and figure it out themselves. Here we see all living things have their own magic in their basic humanity and the trials of their lives as a greater community ("I'm a Star") but there are those who fail to realize that magic and connect with it and thus resort to outsourcing which becomes a detriment, thus Magnifico through constantly outsourcing magic as the answer loses sight of his humanity and the magic in it isolates and traps himself.
The exterior magic isn't the answer but only part of the greater equation.
Also if I may mix franchises, as someone once said, "It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities"
Also across the board with Magnifico and other characters this is kinda how narcissim works. Yes he lacks parental care after losing family, but he also lacks parental discipline and thus humility to realize outsourcing magic, milking praise and controlling everything isn't the answer and that as bad as it may be he's only human and needs the humbling experiences to grow, and running from them will only trap himself.
Notice he puts himself on a pedestal and has plenty of the people's praise. The people praise him, build monuments to him, bake cookies of him, have CRUSHES on him. And when he's up on stage in the ceremony at the beginning he seats his wife in the back rather than by his side as equal, and when she tries to reason with him he ignores her, and he only put down the book when Amaya bolsters him talking of his great power, and shows affection only when she calls him "handsome" and disregards real leadership qualities.
In the end, Amaya saying "no" to releasing him and saying it's the thanks he deserves is a form of the parental discipline he needs, so he's basically getting a "time out"
I did see that some people liked the original concept for Wish that was later removed from the story. But I also see that some people don’t respect when others actually like the movie and/or soundtrack. Always seems to go that way when it’s popular to “like” or “dislike” something. It’s always better to see a movie for yourself and place other opinions on the sideline. I went into Elementals judging it from the critics and lack of excitement from the audience but ended up liking it. Also so many people act like Disney has never had “dark ages” it’s had more than one since Snow White and several flops before Little Mermaid.
Right. Apparently they forget that really good movies have also flopped. “Atlantas” and “Treasure Planet” are both really great movies, but they also flopped. Black Cauldron flopped- on top of so many others. Unfortunately the masses “decide” what is and what is not okay, which is usually based on bandwagoning. This was a cute movie, though!
yes. But they have failed since like 2017 outside like Encanto. And they have more than just disney. They are failing in the marvels, in pixar. Disney flop is doing worse than free options for streaming.
Elementals issue is that it's woke when it comes to trying to represent the liberal idea of systematic oppression and uses NY as a base.
Wish's issues stem from the poor musical choices. The messaging being terrible. The characters other than Magnifico being flat. Magnifico actually being a good guy. Asha being a spoiled brat. And the people in the utopia created by Magnifico for basically nothing all being awful.
The credits were so nice. They had most of the disney animated characters in them
It's weird how a movie with fairly modern views is getting a lot of criticism. It's not amazing by any stretch, but it's not like it's Star Wars Episode 2, the live action ATLA or whatever the hell The Room is. I'm trying to say it could've been worse.
Star wars Episode 2 is a block buster by comparison. The modern views is also a major reason for the backlash.
The very beginning is supposed to resemble the beginning of “Sleeping Beauty” and I love how it had so many Disney movie references
Yessss At All Costs is such a beautiful song
I love this movie. I saw this 5 times in the theaters. Asha is amazing, the casting of Ariana DeBose was perfect. This movie was a lot of fun. Dont care what other people think.
Fun fact star was supposed to be human and be Asha love interest.
For real I wish Asha had a love interest
@@reagankirtman4602 also human star was gonna be mute and do sign language
He wasn’t a love interest he was someone to represent her grandfather wish
And furthermore he would’ve basically been like genie or Maui to Asha’s Aladdin/Moana (and kinda still is)
Star boy would have been so much better.
Thank god i was not the only one who likes the Wish movie
Such an underrated film.
I agree is a 10 out of 10 for me honestly, I just feel like every Disney and Pixar movies are underrated, well OK maybe not all of them but you know what I mean right?
I’m happy to see others like this movie. I felt like I was alone out here liking it.
Queen Amaya is my favorite character though ❤
-
And for your question - I do know someone who is over 100. She’s my friends Grandma (I call her grandma though too). She just turned 103 this month and still kicking.
I really liked the soundtrack of this movie, even though the story wasn’t very exciting to me, but still Ariana Debose and Chris Pine blew me away with their voices, especially during At all costs.
The lyrics kinda weigh the songs down but At All Costs is really good
Same Idk why people hate on it as much as they do sure the original concept looked phenomenal but the movie is not too bad and I liked the soundtrack
@@DORAisD34Dmaybe people aren’t understanding the lyrics. They hit for me. We literally are made elementally of stars. “We eat the plants and the plants eat the sun. That’s where all the balls of gas come from” really? That’s great!
At All Costs might be the BEST song in this movie. Sadly I personally believe it was wasted on a movie like this. Originally it sounded like a love song, which they should've used it for instead of dragging out a scene of Asha and the King eyeballing a bunch of orbs for over 3 minutes.
I’m surprised u didn’t hate on it bc a lot of people hate that movie and I don’t know why, but tbh I loved this movie
Fr
it's because the message is terrible. The music choices don't work and for many of them the background music to the lyrics don't work. The villian is the only relatable character and he isn't even evil until they force him to be by being entitled when he did everything for the kingdom he made.
1:59 its a reference to Disney turning 100 years old
Watch this movie in the movie theaters in January. It was so good and I’m watching it again with Billy
Nooo, the ending! I mean it’s short, but I loved it so much and he didn’t see it.
Finding out who the characters were at the end BLEW my mind. I love that we got the story of Fairy godmother and the mirror on the wall.
These are clever references indeed, but they are just Easter eggs though, not actual origin stories. The creators confirmed this. They even mention it in the artbook where they say that Asha's blue cloak is a tribute to Cinderella's fairy godmother. And that's good in my opinion. Asha is a fine character on her own; she does not need to be another character (plus, Cinderella takes place about 400 years after Wish; Asha is still a human and would not be alive by then). And the wall mirror from Snow White looks nothing like the small crystal where Magnifico is trapped in terms of shape, size and colour. It's a nice parallel universe homage but nothing more.
2:35 my grandpa is 103. His 104th birthday will be in April.
My grandma is 98.
I honestly liked the soundtrack. Disappointing with regards the plot and animation esp that it's from Disney but the songs made me cry when I checked on the lyrics
I loved how the end credits of this movie showed other Disney characters over the years the only movie where my fav part was the end credits 🥰🥰🥰
this movie is the perfect example of overhate tbh, its actually a pretty decent film! sure some lyrics are awkward and songs like "This is the Thanks I Get" and "I'm a Star" arent the greatest things ever but the rest of the movie is pretty fuckin good
This movie was so good I will never understand the hate around it
Mostly that the characters were flat. None of the story made sense. And the themes for children were terrible. Basically you should be granted any wish regardless of how bad. You should be entitled and hold no loyalty for the person that gave you a utopia and be so resentful that you turn the best person into a literal disney villian.
@billybinges, FUNNY how you uploaded this on feb19th and i just finished this movie today a month later 03.19.24 , another heartmelt to the ground for me , i didnt notice this was by walt disney studios until i saw the star do the walt disney shooting star and the credits and saw all the disney characters and i teared up a little bit when the star had to go because im also a crybaby with cute characters like that and of course animals, but me being a disney child at heart i loved seeing all the characters and then the grandpa playing the walt disney intro song on the instrument pulled at my heartstrings that i clapped in my home lol 👏👏👏👏😩😩🙏🙏🙏🙏
I never watched it, but I swear even movies I don't like your commentary makes them hilarious 😂
19:58 I was rather thinking you were going to sing "I know I can treat you better than he can" (Treat you better by Shawn Mendez) ngl 😂😂😂
Billy should watch Wreck It Ralph next.
Hands down best Disney movie ever. #bingers
I’m kinda surprised he hasn’t yet! Seconded!
HE RLY SHOULD
😮 Is magnifico the disney corporation feeding off the dreams of the people who work for them(writers, musicians, animators, artists etc)
I hate how accurate this theory is 😂
@@PMIII when u look at it that way, its the perfect 100 yr anniversary movie right
I kind of thought magnifico was Walt Disney, trying to create a perfect world and grant people's wishes. And asha represents the new management, destroying what he made to make their vision
@@Tinkerkel didnt get that at all. Gonna rewatch and see if i can see what u see.
no because disney is a villian. Magnifico wasn't a villian. He was a guy doing his best to keep their lives going and the kingdom afloat among a ton of selfish villagers who recieved the benefit from him but gave him no real respect or loyalty for all he did.
I'm going to watch the full movie after this
Yes… don’t let the critics deter you. Form your own opinion on it first
This is also on a separate note, but I love how much this movie feels like a broadway musical just animated, like you get the sense this could be a real broadway show & you know what the sets, choreography & singing would be like, its the first film ive seen like this ever (im also 20 so I haven’t seen all the musical films so there could be more like this, but as far as my knowledge goes this is the first that feels like a broadway production which is why I really enjoy this film)
The biggest gripes people get from this movie are because the original concept was a lot more fleshed out and promising, with way more threat and chemistry to the villains (the king and queen were going to be the first ever evil Disney couple) and more understandable goals for Asha.
In fact, the original plot for the movie was already storyboarded most of the way with ALOT of it finished, and the star was going to be an actual, magical boy character who shape shifts and potentially falls in love with Asha (it's also heavily theorized the "At All Costs" song you hear in this movie was initially their duet because the demo version uses "love" instead of "promise").
The plot this movie could have had would've been more intense and felt like an actual fairytale instead of Disney trying to shove in a bunch of references to their old movies left and right.
Yessss this soundtrack was everything! Chris Pine shocked me!
Granted it’s not the worst
I give it 5/10
I wasn't a fan of the music, and I think the writing squandered the nuanced "be careful what you wish for" tagline, and the pacing for me was off. It felt like a lot happened and nothing happened--plus Magnifico has all these powers and still lost? Plot armor at it's finest.
The songs were catchy but the lyrics weighed them down. I really like At All Costs tho
@@DORAisD34D AAC is definitely the exception for me. I was fine with MOST of the songs' lyrics (exceptions being "I'm a Star," "This Wish," and the reprise), but the biggest issue for me was the production. Everything sounded familiar or generic, and none of it made me feel like I was in another country. Someone mentioned Julia Michaels was only given 3 weeks to write the songs and couldn't make any changes afterwards, so if that's true, that'd explain a lot.
They got POP music people to make the songs, most disney has been THEATRICAL music
@@Aloysius_OHare That's no excuse. Pop music is vwry diverse, and stage musicals like "Hamilton" and "Six" have shown you can have radio-friendly original songs that are amazing.
so what im getting is
people on tiktok bashed the movie for one song
and completely forgot about the narrative of the film as well as the other banger songs???
Correct and correct!
Everyone who said this movie was bad, they were trippin.
How did it take me this long to notice the sebscreen plush on the pac man arcade machine😂😂
Seb is my guy!
@@BillyBinges That is so epic Billy! I bought my own of his plushy when he was selling it & it sits on my desk as a reminder to follow my dreams. If you ever did the same thing, I would buy that without hesitation cause you are a RUclipsr who gives me the same motivation as SebScreen. You are an amazing RUclipsr with hilarious & thought provoking insights that help me grow as a person, I watch your videos on the regular cause I strive to be as good of a man as both you & Seb are 😊
For the soundtrack, if you liked the version of At all Costs of the movie, the demo version of At all Costs with the storyboard is top tier, you should check it out
This movie does get talked about…but it’s all criticism
Encanto was talked about for all the right reasons tho
I got a grandma who's 114 she's so active and wise
Really enjoy your videos❤️
I recommend you watch Maya and the Three, which is a short series of 9 episodes and it's really an emotional rollercoaster😭
Oh no, you didn't see the end credits or the clip where grandpa plays the melody from the Disney intro 😮
So if you look at ashas outfit in the wood fighting scene , watch how she hits her wand against her hand and here how they ask her to be their fairy godmother it is theorized by many that she grows up to be the fairy godmother to Cinderella.
Yeah I figured
I think Magnifico is the magic mirror from Snow White
one thing that i can praise for this modern solid celebration film by disney in terms of the visual aspects is the backgrounds, and the thing is that they have potential to be incorporated with real/true hand drawn characters
YASSSSS ❤❤❤❤❤ my best friend and I saw this movie opening day in theaters and we freaking LOVED it!!! I had the soundtrack on replay for like a month 😂😂😂
Billy, you should start a reaction series to Glee. I think you’d vibe with a lot of the comedy and appreciate the writing 😂🤞🏼
hi Billy ! 😊 I just found your channel yesterday evening and i binge watched so many of your videos haha you're so funny man! i love your energy and reactions ❤ i loved the songs in this movie haha , i liked the movie overall , i wish we had more back story for Magnifico tho, like his villain origin story, cause i first i was like he's kinda right you can't grant EVERY wish, but the fact that he makes people forget (but still hope for nothing) is the nasty part
The reason people are hating on this movie is because of what it could have been compared to what it was (referring to the scenes and plot points that Disney scrapped, like star boy). It’s also considered kind of a let-down since it’s supposed to be disneys 100 year anniversary, and the trailer was also not that great. All other critics are the ones that think too deep into the movie, relating it to topics of feminism and stuff. Critics and fans alike are also kind of tired of the “quirky” heroine theme Disney has been using. However, I think people forget that it’s only a kids movie, and that it doesn’t have to be perfect. I personally liked the movie, and while I understand that people have different opinions, the issues being pointed out are really not that big of a deal. Yeah it could have been better, but guess what? It’s not. Just cause it could have been better doesn’t mean that it’s horrible he way it is.
They keep criticizing the movie for not being what they think it should be, instead of judging it on its own terms.
yes but it's also terrible as a kids movie. The themes are terrible. Basically telling kids to be entitled brats. The music choices outside of AAC were terrible. The villian was actually the good guy until the last minute. The heroine was a villian represented as a hero. And almost every other character is extremely flat with one aspect to them.
@@PolitikPolitik-fh2qc You're being ridiculous. If Magnifico really was a good guy, then he would have given the wishes back and explained to his people instead of keeping them for himself.
@@gamestation2690 Disagree. Him taking care of the wishes wasn't a bad thing to do. It was also not forced. Also with how the people in the kingdom acted because he existed. Wishes were more of a constraint than they were free. People constantly begged to have their wishes granted for nothing.
#bingers Incredibles, Incredibles 2, wreck it Ralph, Ralph breaks the internet, megamind , Madagascar, penguins of Madagascar
Pretty sure he watches megamind on someone else's channel
I really enjoyed this movie so I am also happy about this video, thank you Billy!
This is supposed to be a dedication movie to the classics before it that made Disney a success, so I'd like to again request Sleeping Beauty #bingers
This movie is my Roman Empire because most of the songs are great and the stories okay. But what we got from development and what we could have had as the story is something I always think about
The King is voiced by Chris Pine aka Nick from Princess Diaries 2
As someone who spent a solid month of reading Starboy AU fics and enjoying Star x Asha art (Those At All Costs animatics are FIRE) before actually seeing the movie, I was pleasantly surprised. I thought the movie was cute and actually loved the soundtrack. I think the negative reception is definitely blown out of proportion but I will still be playing in the Starboy sandbox.
the "so i make this wish to have something moreee than us than this" line make me want the king in the dungeon and lived there bily p.s we all love you
@kyleighMeans i agree with you
Billy is so funny😂
Thank you love
BILLY PLEASE WATCH BOSS BABY!!!!! Everybody like it up so Billy can do it, PLEASE!
I love this movie so much and I wanted you to watch it for so long but it was not streamed on tv yet ❤
