How cliche for this movie
No thank you.
g i think another cool concept would be a twist villian and twist hero asha being an accidental villian and magnifico being right the whole time and asha being driven by a bit of selfishness starting off they could of had asha be an already be the apprentice of magnifico starting off the movie and that they had a father daughter relationship due to the fact asha has no father and magnifico kid died when the kingdom was first founded due to granting a vague wish and that’s why he won’t grant asha’s grandfathers wish but obviously at the moment asha doesn’t know about magnificos kid i think if they made star and went with the star boy lover shapeshifter concept and after asha ran off they could of had star boy give asha magic and how to grant wishes and teach her how to use it falling in love with her as he teaches her though she doesn’t tell him what she plans to do with it fully she just says i want to be able to grant wishes then after a while it’s clear they both admit their feeling for each other and then asha decides to return to the kingdom to grant all the wishes and star boy argues and warns her not to telling her about how it could have consequences asha however doesn’t listen and returns to the kingdom where she has a showdown with king magnifico (it’s night) where he tries to stop her and warn her not to but asha successes in granting all the wishes for only chaos and destruction to ensue everything gone the entire kingdom ash all the people are shocked as all the light is gone and it’s just an empty dark island magnifico then comes up and explains the consequences and what happened to his own child star boy then comes over and talks to asha telling her her oh can fix what she’s done but he will have to return to the stars that’s the consequence she understands a heart felt moment as star boy and asha kiss and star boy walks over and uses his power to restore the kingdom a happy ending ensues where wish granting no longer exists there’s still magic but it’s more of the basic type magnifico remains king and asha remains as the apprentice but asha and magnifico have a father daughter relationship asha never will forget her star crossed lover boy and the people of rosa’s learn to make their wishes come true by them selves including her grandfather the end is happy but slightly bittersweet as asha no longer has her star boy lover that being the consequences of her actions and obviously star boy doesn’t die cause it’s disney he just must go back to the stars instead of staying with asha in rosas (they could of had her freinds be side characters and maybe also warn her in the beginning so at the end when rosas is ash they all just look at her disappointed and with sadness and the queen though she was an interesting character could have been more of a side character maybe having a talk with asha about why magnifico doesn’t grant all the wishes and tries to explain what happened with the kid before she runs off but asha too anger and annoyed runs off without listening) (disclaimer i haven’t watched the movie only some review videos) but yeah that’s my personal take on it there’s lots of concepts and other things that would of worked way better than what we got wish feels like a cool concept where someone came up with the idea wrote it into chat GPT and told it to make a movie (also i’m only thirteen so don’t come for me cause of my opinion 😭)
I want Disney bankrupt
@@awesomeking9915 That means you want most of your life to be boring.
why is disney so gush darn afraid to FULLY commit to their animated movies??? they couldn't even commit to the 2D art style that they're gaslighting everyone that they can't do!
It's such a shame cuz I really like Magnifico's design and his playfulness :(
I agree. You mean to tell me that this multi-billion dollar corporation couldn't get ONE traditional animator to do what they wanted?
Unless it's based on something that sells they'll be half and half on committing to their animated films their reason to exist as a company and while I loved the short is everything wish wanted to do and more I feel like 2D animaion needs another chance from them they've said they have said they'll think about doing a 2D feature film like Dumbo and L&S but that has yet to happen with the Zootopia and Frozen sequels getting all the attention right now.
You should learn what gaslighting means.
@@littlemoth4956 you should learn how to get sm b*ches ^.^
Because it's expensive and the corpo heads see animation flopping over and over and think it's the style of entertainment that's the problem when in reality it's the quality of the content.
Once upon a Studio was a much better tribute to the anniversary than this movie. It had both 2d and 3d animation and had so much care put into it. Everybody should watch that instead.
💯💯💯
It was wonderful
yeah, and when u really think about it, its kinda redundant that their both packaged together, when one of em was already the big tribute,
also If I were to go see WISH in theaters, i'd just go for the short and thats it, I can come out of the theater.
but since somebody pirated WISH just 2 days early before release, I saw it on my phone.
which is a bummer cuz I really wanted to see that short on the big screen.
I WISH that they had done a "2D Visuals, 3D Effects" similar to "The Prince of Egypt" and "Treasure Planet".
@@omundodovini3774 💯💯💯
We could've gotten a deliciously evil couple who are lovey dovey to each other while committing crimes. And a non human love interest but instead we got a plushie 😞
I would love to see an Animated "Bonnie & Clyde" Type Villains.
We could have had a magical Disney prince, we were robbed, Disney can't write romance anymore :((
Uh no.
@@FantasticFawnleapWhat do you mean no? It sounds INFINITELY better than this hot mess.
@@SweetOrangeGirl you should know what I mean I mean no!
Everyone say it with me now:
THE👏ORIGINAL👏CONCEPTS 👏WERE 👏BETTER 👏THAN 👏WHAT 👏 WE 👏GOT 👏INSTEAD
The original concepts were amazing! We were *this* close to having another Disney prince in Star but NO WE CANT HAVE ROMANCE IN A MODERN DISNEY MOVIE
@@meredithsmakings3068 we also could have had Simon (the friend that references Sleepy, one of the 7 Dwatves). why? well since this movie wants to make references to better movies, might as well put one or two to good use: by all means, Wish, reference Snow White, just don't give the friends the personalities of the Dwarves. and then let's reference Sleeping Beauty, as well as reintroduce the "damsel in distress" trope.
i'd give you the details, but i want to know if you're interested, first.
@@jacktheomnithere2127 No that sounds legit! Sleeping Beauty is my favorite Disney movie!
@@meredithsmakings3068 it's one of mine, too.
still, do you want to know the details? because it's rather long.
@@jacktheomnithere2127 Sure! :)
The thing that's most frustrating about Wish is hearing the original plans for it and how they just scrapped all of them. It would have been really cool to have an evil power couple at the core of the movie, or the fact that Star was originally pitched as a star boy that would fall in love with Asha, just to name a few things. But that alone to me is way more interesting than a guy who is evil for no good reason, a boring queen as his partner, and a generic female protagonist that has none of the charm or layers of those that came before her.
It feels like they had decent plans but then went the safe route and it feels very lazy.
The "Evil Couple" would probably be the Most Unique Thing in this Movie.
Looks like that the "Star Boy" would have Vibes of: Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Jack Frost & the Genie.
@@omundodovini3774 But at least the Star Boy would have been different than "small sidekick that's magic and has no human qualities whatsoever." And would have been a nice return to form for having love interests again.
@@sophieamandaleitontoomey9343 "Romance" is really a thing that it's missing in Modern Disney, they should had bring this back in this 100th Celebration Film.
Just imagine the potential twist of only Magnifico being evil and then Asha running to the queen, only for her to turn out evil again. It would've been so cool. Same with the Star Boy. Why not reduce the cast instead of having a talking animal side kick, a magical side kick, 7 forgettable side.....npcs. They had all the chances and opted for the bland option
@@sophieamandaleitontoomey9343 I mean we say that, but if he were annoying as hell and the romance arc was poorly written and forced, we'd probably be begging for him to be a cute, non-talking sidekick.
A concept it only as good as its execution.
It's a shame a celebration of 100 years turned out to be so generic and forgetable, even with all it had going for it. Beautiful animation, bringing back actual villains, Ariana DeBose, and they still fumbled the ball with them, and several other things. Those songs actually felt AI generated. They need to start taking risks and changing up their formula, or they'll be left in the dust. I know some of us want that, but while I dislike the corporation, I still want the studio to do great things again.
If Disney is left in the dust, good riddance.
@@Dinosaurianationazation That's hurtful since Disney is well loved by fans for years. You don't like it any more?
@@DavidBContentExtravaganza3967 I was never been a fan or hater of Disney, but the crap they’ve pulled over the years, like filming the Mulan remake on a concentration camp and ruining the MCU for me with the Eternals movie, It just made me fucking hate the company, and even now I will still celebrate it’s downfall.
The only thing I liked about Disney at the time was like most of the MCU and some parts of The Force Awakens, and now Disney fucked it up for me and everyone else with Eternals. It was to a point where I straight up didn’t watch Mandolorian out of spite. Might watch Mando at some point, but I’m kinda too jaded to do so at the minute.
No disrespect to its fans, but fuck Disney.
Tell it to Strange World and Elemental!
Okay fuckin seriously? Can you not think of anything DIFFERENT to say!? Just copy-paste the exact same comment on all these videos?
You're right to call out Disney when they deserve it. They can and should do better. 100 years extravaganza? Yeah, right. Here's to fellows like you who hopefully can one day push Disney to maybe actually try again.
This Movie had some Really Good Concepts that Sadly were Deleted:
*1.* It would be 100% Traditional 2D Animation, but they said that "2D is very limited";
*2.* The Star would also having the power to turn itself into a "Star Human Boy with vibes of Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Jack Frost & Genie" that would serve as a love interest for Asha;
*3.* Not only the King, but the Queen would also be Evil, turning them the *First Evil Couple in a Disney Animated Movie,* that would probably be the Most Unique Thing this Movie would had.
And yet, they used 2D animation for their short, Once Upon a Studio, not to mention, Studio Ghibli and Cartoon Saloon are the only studios still working with the medium, especially next month with Miyazaki's new movie which looks incredible so far.
"2D is very limited" my ass, this is a company built on the backs of 2D animators and they seem intent on spitting on their legacy every step of the way these days. If 2D is so limited, why do so many indie animators use it with a fraction of Disney's budget?
@@deen7530 according to them, unfortunatly.
How is 2D animation limited? You can literally animate whatever you want with hand-drawn animation.
So the star would have been the Dragon from Raya? I didn't really care for the star but after seeing the Dragon from Raya and the feedback everyone had for her, I can see why Disney didn't go for a character with that same concept
People constantly dog on Disney for the whole generational trauma aspect. However, Raisor's suggestion to fix Magnifico *is* an example of how he could have come from trauma. Nothing wrong with making a villain sympathetic, as long as they can be well-written.
The more I think about this movie, the angrier I get. You can only have ONE 100 year anniversary, and they dropped the ball.
They proved that they never cared about art, they only care about money. They're also cheapskates, refusing to spend money on taking risks, and refuse to pay their employees jack shit. Bob Iger is an evil sinful monster. This is just who Disney is now and always will be forevermore. You can't change that. You can't change corporatism.
Im starting to realize the tv side of Disney creates memorable and better villains than the movie side of Disney nowadays. Ex. Bill Cipher, king andrias, belos, chip whistler, toffee
Don’t forget Lord Hater and Lord Dominator from Wander Over Yonder.
But yeah, I agree that Disney Villains of the movie side suck now.
@@Artsy913 King candy was the last great Disney villain before they committed to the twist villain thanks to Frozen's success.
Almost everything about the TV side of Disney is better than their recent movies... :/
Chalk that up to A. It being longer form media that gives us time to build up and develop a villain. (Remember, Andrias is both a twist villain AND a sympathetic villain with a redemption arc, but he worked because he had the time to develop), and B. The TV side of Disney seemingly just... having a lot more creative control.
Like I doubt they'd ever show something like Bill Cipher in a Disney Princess movie. Disney's way too protective of their big brands for that kind of thing.
If only Toffee wasn't wasted.
I think you’re onto something about the grumpy guy. He should’ve been the main character. A sullen teenager who stopped believing in wishes, only to rekindle his childhood wonder through magic and uncovering a secret plot from the king. And now you have an arc!
The lyrics to this one...oh the lyrics. Seriously, they must be partially AI because they are not just "bad for Disney" but they are objectively BAD. Disney, who has employed the likes of Lin Manuel Miranda, Elton John, Phil Collins (shut up the Tarzan soundtrack slaps), Danny Elfman, and Howard Ashman, decided to go with two lyricists whose resume is a single page and amounts to "a few pop songs ten years ago."
I seriously think they tried to sabotage this film. They must've hired Bialystok & Bloom to produce. Who in their right mind would greenlight nothing but the Top Shelf and legacy artists for the 100th Anniversary?! It makes no sense in my head.
pretty sure she was making a joke about people balking that the soundtrack must suck because it has Phil Collins. maybe you be less aggressive when we're talking about Disney songs, ffs @emptyglass7867
@emptyglass7867I’ve heard some cartoon reviewers hating it
@@gatewoodanimations9753Oh don't worry those people arent real
@@gatewoodanimations9753
RUclips cartoon reviewers also don’t like Princess in the Frog so I wouldn’t take their word as gospel.
You know what would’ve made a good 100 year celebration movie? If they made a kingdom hearts movie about sora traveling through the Disney properties new and old trying to fix a great disaster with the help of said properties
Yes! Imagine all the original characters of Kingdom Hearts and those of Final Fantasy being anime, while all the Disney characters would be done in the traditional 2D style (excluding The Nightmare Before Christmas). That would be incredible. I did believe then, in 2002, and still do, that it could have been possible for a film like this to be made at that time. But now I know for sure that it will never happen, unfortunately. Disney is too gung-ho about destroying itself now. Really sad, but that's the way it is.
As a die hard Kingdom Hearts fan, I don't think it can work in film form. Considering how complicated the story can get.
Now a Kingdom Hearts animated series on the other hand.....
Y'know what the worst part of this is?
The original concept of Magnifico and Amaya is that they were both villains. We could have had a "Morticia and Gomez" as villains. We were robbed
I dearly wish Disney would try and portray morally ambiguous villains for once. The current consensus seems to be that it's either a straightforward, archetypal villain like Maleficent or Scar or no villain at all. But just imagine if Wish had acknowledged Magnifico's ambiguous introduction and proceeded to develop him into a grey villain. A man who is consumed by arrogance, but whose past actions have been unquestionably benevolent. A king who deceives his citizens in order to maintain order and peace, but who can justify his actions in terms difficult to argue. After all, he lets them live for free, in prosperity and health. Asha's impulsive decision to free the wishes, while well-meaning, could have been acknowledged as exactly that: an impulsive decision by a teenage girl. What if her actions involuntarily proved Magnifico right, and the freed wishes actually DID result in chaos and upheaval? Imagine the myriad of directions the story could go from there. Magnifico could reluctantly team up with Asha to restore order. Magnifico could spiral into paranoia, madness and vengeance after Asha's mistake. Or a mixture of both. The thing about morally grey villains is that they could be absolutely anything. They could be redeemed, but they don't have to be. Their actions could be justifiable, but they don't have to be. I am eagerly waiting for Disney to experiment with their rock-hard formula and actually try something new.
Like Wish orginially was gonna have a villain couple, yeah the queen would also be evil.
Silly commenter, that would be too “risky”.
@@blueflare3848 Haha, but of course. I am a fool XD
@@thesardonicpig3835 They don't like High Rewards
Here's how I would change it:
I'm stealing an idea from Saberspark and making Asha King Magnifico's daughter and Princess of Rosas. This would already set up a great conflict for Asha. Can she stand by her family and preserve their power when it's based around innocent people losing their chance at happiness? Or does she stick by what she knows is right, even if it means becoming an enemy of her parents?
I would also change Asha's personality; she starts off as very introverted and shy and does whatever she's told because that's what her parents taught her a princess should be, but throughout the film, we see her become more independent and self-assured until she finally faces off with her father over his abuse of power.
As for the wishing star, instead of just existing, we learn the wishing star is actually Asha's paternal grandfather. Her father's powers actually come from being the son of the Wishing Star, who had been sent to Earth to fulfill the wishes and dreams of humanity; however, Magnifico became disillusioned after seeing how people only want to use their wishes to benefit themselves and began using the wishes to increase his own magic. This had broken Wishing Star's heart, and he decided to help his granddaughter stop his son and train her to be his new successor in granting wishes.
This brings us to the seven friends, they're the first people Asha decides to help. While her grandfather insists that she can use magic to solve their problems, Asha slowly realizes that while magic can be helpful, ultimately, people must make their wishes come true. Slowly, more people begin to wise up to this fact with Asha's help. Magnifico gradually loses his powers since he has been using people's wishes to fuel them for so long, with people fulfilling them themselves instead of entrusting them to him. This infuriates him, and then learning his own daughter and father are behind sends him into a complete villainous breakdown after a dark reprise of "This is the Thanks I Get," culminating in him using the Book of Forbidden Magic, a spell book created by dark fairies, he was warned never to open. Using his newfound magic, he swears to destroy all the dreams and Rosas.
Agree
Or just make him a Lord Shen or Kai
"Dark Fairies", like Maleficent?
@@omundodovini3774Yup
I like your idea of making Asha's grandfather into both the Wishing Star and Magnifico's dad. It's a neat tie-in with Disney's legacy, keeping the old traditions alive while also doing something new and inspiring with it.
Disney is too afraid to portray any human being as evil... They always have to have some sympathetic reason behind their actions, or they have to be possessed by some dark magical force. Cause heaven forbid we show a person who makes greedy and selfish decisions without some excuse behind it. :/
Ah, but they can’t exactly make movies about themselves can they
@@littlemoth4956 Exactly XD
disney using the trauma card to justify villains 🙄
@@juanchoresultay2704 The reason for no villains is Disney is telling to tell a story with more subtle themes. Encanto is the one time Disney did a good job with complex themes.
@@orangeslash1667 but either way let some villains be just villains no need to really have change of character (except Abuela Alma ofc)
The only legacy this movie will leave behind is the ideas thought up by random people making movies far better than this
That’s what a lot of ok movies do
Like ruby Gillman
you know whats the worst and weird part is? they didnt even bother to recruit veteran experienced animators and music writers to help to develop A 100 YEAR ANNIVERSARY STUDIO MOVIE. (also the movie not being timeless in terms of dialogue and what not bothers me)
if you want a better movie that has a wishing star watch Puss in Boots 2
If there’s one thing I hear most people agreeing about liking is the song At All Cost.
It’s funny how they scrapped star boy but kept the obvious love song in the movie. The demo for At All Cost even has the words love you but they changed it to promise in the movie.
This Song it's also the Fifth "Hero and Villain Duet" in a Disney Animated Film, with the other four being:
1. Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee - Pinocchio (1940)
2. Mine, Mine, Mine - Pocahontas (1995)
3. Out There - The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)
4. Love Is an Open Door - Frozen (2013)
‘One Upon a Studio’ incapsulates and cherishes the magic Disney brought to us as children more *in under 10 minutes* than the big celebration movie does in 90, so I don’t care if I didn’t get anything original or exiting this year, the short was a nice present. At least I got to see 2D animation hasn’t been buried yet.
Me: That's it? That was the 100th anniversary film we've been waiting for a WHOLE year for!? THAT WAS JUST A BUNCH OF CHEAP WALK CYCLES!
Mickey Mouse: What a rip, haha!
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR DISNEY BETRAYED US!
even Encanto may be one of Disney best animated movies in recent years and it came out 2 years as for WISH is painfully generic
It’s sad to see a studio that only a few years ago where at the top of the industry fall so far.
The early 2020’s will definitely go down as a dark age in the studios history. Maybe one or two of these films will become a culture classic but even then it’s highly unlikely.
At least point, I’m just wondering if any of the animators are going to pull a Don Bluth and just leave the company, create their own studio and make modern classics that (unintentionally) make Disney up their game.
The company's 3rd dark age.
Yep.
I hope to god they do. I hope the focus goes to indie animation rather than Disney's continued dominance over the Western animation landscape. So much cool shit is going on outside of Disney, and it'd be cool if some industry professionals joined that side rather than continue working for the megacorporation
Guess it really shows that Chris Buck had one lucky shot with Surf's Up at Sony, after coming back to Disney it was all downhill from there. Also, Nimona is the superior movie that Wish attempted of becoming. In fact, the comparisons felt unavoidable after watching the film on my own last Sunday. Guess it really shows that modern Disney is too big to fail, while other animation houses (independent or main stream) are pushing further what animated films can be both for kids and adults!!!
I guess you could say: "This the thanks we get!?"
Funny that you brought up Encanto so many times because is it just me or does Asha look EXACTLY like Isabella? Like seriously, were they even trying? It's like they took Isabella's model, copy and paste, make a few tweaks and changes, boom, you got a COMPLETELY different character.
PS: Sisu is still one of my favorite Disney characters and that's a hill I will die on. Alone if I have to. I don't even care if it's a small hill, I'll still die on it.
@@matthewdaley746 "Alone if I have to."
I rest my case.
@@matthewdaley746 Indeed. A hill I will die on, very much alone.
I actually think Sisu is one of the funniest Disney side characters in recent years and Yes I'd still do liked Raya and the Last Dragon
@@matthewdaley746 I have a lot to say about that but I'm just gonna keep it short.
Having learned this information I am now faced with two choices. Harmful Knowledge or Blissful Ignorance. I can continue liking it, potentially disregarding a serious subject, or I can acknowledge this, thus making myself feel guilty about liking it. To be honest, I lose either way, because now I'm just gonna be reminded of that everytime I see it.
@@matthewdaley746 lmao. as an anime voice actress I think I'm qualified to say I liked the character because I genuinely enjoyed Awkwafina's scratchy-ass voice and weird delivery. she's not for you, you don't have to wear your woke=everything I hate reasoning like some kind of badge of honor. go back to your basement, no one cares.
Yes! Thank you! You’re the only one I’ve seen mention Magnifico’s switch from “protect the kingdom and the wishes at all cost so THAT doesn’t happen again” to MAKING “THAT happen again”. And his reason for doing so makes no sense.
You can’t convince me that this wasn’t two completely different, separate drafts of a character that they just threw together and figured “good enough”.
He felt like two separate characters jammed into one; Magnifico even changes his magic style.
Well at least Once Upon A Studio is a better tribute to there 100 year anniversary
It's funny that you brought up Nimona, because that film's art style manages to pull off the cel-shaded look much more than Wish does.
We were robbed. What would’ve worked more was if the king and queen were both evil and Asha was their daughter. Then Asha would’ve grown up thinking that keeping the wishes was the right thing and star boy had to help show her the right way. Also it would add a lot more to Asha’s character by standing against her parents since for all the other Disney princesses with evil parents they’re always stepparents (Lady Tremaine, Evil Queen, and Gothel). So the fact that a princesses actual parents are evil would’ve been so cool. Magnifico could’ve been the sympathetic villain that is way to overprotective
Also I wouldn't make Asha quirky I mean she can definitely have somethings but not as much as they did. I would make her more similar to Elsa and Mulan personality rather than Anna and Rapunzel.
I would also change Asha's color palette purple reminds me too much of Rapunzel and Isabella. I wish they stuck with the orange red color palette from the concept art
Even though I enjoyed this movie, I have started to understand everyone’s problems with it better.
13:18 Yeah, they've did that before with Treasure Planet. Blending in 2D & 3D animation in harmony together.
Another Movie that does this is "The Prince of Egypt". I know it's not Disney, but OH BOY, THE RED SEA LOOK EPIC!
I mentioned in another comment that I think the film would've been better if Asha had been the King's apprentice from the start.
Nice to see I'm not alone in that sentiment. It would've been such a cute homage to the Sorcerer's Apprentice too. With Mickey being Yensid's apprentice and learning a lesson in how to take magic seriously, and not use it as a cheat code, Asha could've learned that same lesson here.
Over the Moon was a better animated musical than this movie. So is the recent Adam Sandler movie Leo.
Heck Chaos Will Reign Today from Miraculous the Movie was a better villain song than This Is The Thanks I Get.
so Glad I'd watch Moana on Disney+ with my mom instead of seeing Wish in theaters
Disney has been takin' some serious nose droves of takin' way too many s then usual, and got a feelin' that this is gonna be one of those "End Of An Era" where this, Dreamworks, along with a few other movie studios goin' out of business soon and lost that magic they used to earn awhile back.
Perhaps it's a cycle and one day it'll come back around to another Renaissance. Disney's had several dark ages in the past that nearly bankrupted them.
@Ginormous8683, What are you talking about? Dreamworks isn't going anywhere. Also, Kung Fu Panda 4 is set to release next year.
@emptyglass7867 I meant Kung Fu Panda 4, which was confirmed back in 2022.
@emptyglass7867 Nope - the creator has said for years that Po's journey was always going to be six chapters. This isn't some idea he's pulling out of his rear.
I enjoyed this film for what it was, though I will say it’s not among Disney’s best.
I agree with you.
Once Upon a Studio really should have just been what Disney did to celebrate 100 years, since it captured the magic better than Wish did. It ignited childhood nostalgia and brought back characters from shorts you'd think had been forgotten alongside movie characters. Hell, I didn't even know Disney had a version of Nessie until I saw Dave Lee Down Under's video. You also got neat interactions between the characters, even if they were for a few seconds.
I feel nothing but indifference towards Wish. Maybe dumb little kids and the blind consumers who eat up anything Disney puts out will like it, but I honestly don't think I've enjoyed a Disney film since watching Moana and Zootopia with my ex. Even the Chip and Dale movie was more fun than Wish. It's KINDA BAD that one of the few things about Wish that got me to smirk is that the star kinda makes a fart sound when turning to look at Asha in one of the trailers, but nothing else.
I actually wonder if people at Disney were mad about people wanting purely evil villains and deliberately wrote King Magnifico so viewers would wish he'd been redeemed or tragic. LOL. (Note: I haven't seen this movie; it doesn't look that interesting to me. Maybe if I watch it, I'll love the character of Magnifico. This is just a reaction to criticism of him I've heard.)
I wish I could have been a fly on the wall during production of this movie just to see the stress, disappointment, nervousness and depression the film makers had to endure to get this piece of work on the screen. I enjoyed seeing them stressed during the documentary when they discovered the parts of Frozen 2 that were not working so imagine this movie where nothing works!!
I actually found Wish to be enjoyable for the most part. Wasn’t their best but it was far from their worst.
Also fun fact: The grumpy kid has the same voice actor as Perrito from Puss in Boots.
NO 🙀 They did my boy Harvey dirty!
@@Prototype-357 He’s still the best part in both movies.
REALLY??!!
REALLY??!!
REALLY??!!
Aggressively mid is a perfect way to describe this movie. Even the animation is mid, they couldn't even make cel-shaded animation look cool like in Spiderverse or Arcane. Most of the reviews I've watched basically say that this movie coasts by on nostalgia, and that seems to be the running theme for a lot of what Disney puts out these days.
Apparently the queen was also going to be a villain. So we’d have a Duo villain dynamic, but they cut it for some reason.
Something tells me Disney execs forced a lot on this movie (I mean, some music lyrics sound like they’re made by an AI, likely due to the strikes).
I think what they should have done was have the short once upon a studio be a full feature film instead of wish. That would be better for their 100th anniversary but again modern disney likes to have wasted potential. Also, I kind of disagree with Rasorblade on Ralph breaks the internet. I actually liked all the princesses being in one scene.
Whenever i see this Star thing i'm like "Rosalina just called. She wants her Luma back at the comet observatory." ⭐
Its crazy that disney is just throwing way too much money at everything just because they have it, and then is shocked when thier losing money
If Wish gets nominated, I'd have my whole ass jaw dropped. But idk because this year had plenty of way better films.
You did a great job with this video, but I don’t agree with your beliefs that Disney is ruined forever and will never be good again. Yes, they don’t make as many masterpieces as they used to make, but there were THREE other eras of Disney where everyone said the exact same thing they’re saying now. And want to know what they all have in common? Disney eventually redeemed themselves eventually. This isn’t any different. Still love your videos though.
3:27 But that’s why I watch these videos. It lets me feel relaxed and get to hear someone else’s point of view about things, and plus almost all of you videos make my burst out laughing or like your review of Nimona. A movie review that I feel connected to by how it is written, and heck Nimona is my number 1 favorite blue sky film RIP to blue sky. Because it makes me feel happy and relaxed from my own issues and in some cases like which Nimona I feel connected to because I feel like I can relate in certain ways. I will mention this that I don’t care if people are gay or trans it is there bodies and as long as it isn’t hurting me or loved ones I fin with it even though it is against my religion. These reviews help me see this in different lightings. By the way Enconto feels like more of a 100 year anniversary than this man I can’t believe it’s already two years old. Also I swear if this beats Nimona at the Oscars or maybe puss in boots the last wish for best animated feature I have lost all hope in the world or I say we stop giving Disney our money until they release a film as good as enctonto and I don’t understand how the Oscars work because Encanto won 2022 best animated picture from my research and it cam out in 2021 so yeah puss in boots might be an option I’m not sure but as long as Disney doesn’t win I’ll be happy the last wish or Nimona definitely deserve it and Mario possibly I like the movie but it is not on the same level as them
They were already on borrowed time, because their only truly popular films were the Ice Age series, and, only overseas, especially the later films.
I feel the best critque I can give is. When the Villian makes a Magic Mirror reference he says "Mirror Mirror who is the handsomest on them all." Which is quoting Sherk not Snow White. Snow White it is "Magic Mirror on the Wall who is the Fairest of them all."
Artist who worked on the film have said that corporate interfered a lot with this movie
Yeah, you hit the nail in the coffin with the Sofia the First comparison because that was what I thought of when I saw the trailer for this film, but at least that was an animated series where the animation would get better with each season, especially in the spinoff series, Elena of Avalor. I'd rather watch both shows or Nimona over whatever this was. Wish is going to be the Godzilla: Final Wars of Walt Disney Animation Studios.
TBH encanto should've been the 100 year celebration
I’m going to see the movie tomorrow, and yeah after everything that’s been said. I’m am absolutely expecting it to just be subpar at best, and Disney’s worst and most forgettable since Chicken Little and Home on the Range.
Now, hot take incoming, I just want to say that, I love Disney (not corporate Disney) and I am one of the VERY few people in the Animation community who does still get excited for any new WDAS film that comes out and doesn’t think the studio is dead right now. In my opinion, I really like Raya and the Last Dragon and consider it to be MASSIVELY overhated despite it’s flaws and with the other three (RBTI, Frozen 2 and Strange World) while I agree they’re not great films by any means, I do think they aren’t as bad as everyone makes them out to be.
So even with all that bias and unpopular positive opinion, I still think this movie is going to be a major disappointment.
I still have faith in Disney that they still do solid stuff even other than Encanto but I’m pretty sure I’m gonna remember Once Upon a Studio much more than this film.
Also by the way, anyone that says that Byron Howard is the only talent left at Disney and will throw hate and death threats to Jennifer Lee and Don Hall should not be in this community by the way.
Anything with Awkwafina, (by definition), can't be overhated enough, why is Hollywood still enabling her, (no, seriously), as for, Frozen 2, Parents Of America, don't take your kids to, Frozen 3, it's the only chance, and, Josh Gad, tell Disney they need you more than you need them, that's all.
Let's just all pretend that the once upon a studio short is the 100 year celebration instead
Such a missed opportunity having Chris Pine play what is supposed to be a classic evil Disney villain. He could make for such a great one.
Wish had so much betting on it from being their animated film that celebrates everything that came from Disney animation Studios and it trying a new stylized CG animation inspired by spider verse but it's just okay. The story and songs feel like they went with the first draft and didn't change up things to improve it like better Disney movies have done and the animation felt a bit unfinished compared to Spider verse and TMNT. Once upon a studio is a beautiful and great short celebrating their history and gave us so much in little time and thanks again for giving us your honest opinion on this movie and stay honest and I'll take this over Chicken little any day.
I've been watching a lot of videos making a critic over Wish, and I still didn't watch it, because I'm from Brazil, so yeah. Also, I don't go to cinema very often, so I'll be waiting for it to come in Disney plus. But even if I didn't watch it yet, I'd like to share with you guys the ideas I had in my mind about what this movie could be, based on what the trailer gave us. And just like I said: I didn't watch it, so if my idea happens to be too far of the reality of the movie... You already know why. I really just want to share my idea for fun, so here we go:
I thought it could be a really good plot if we started with Asha being presented to us as a really ambitious main character. Not in a bad way tho, but like a person who have really idealistic goals (you can think of her goal as whatever you want). So, that's why she would be revolted when discovering that king Magnifico doesn't make the majority of wishes come true. She would have EXACTLY this mentality of "every wish should be turned into reality". But here's the thing: her mindset would ALSO be portrayed as a bad thing. Magnifico ans Asha would be both opposites: one is selfish and doesn't make the effort for his people wishes, even the ones that are good and worth it. While Asha would also slowly become kinda antagonic (not on purpose, but because of her immature mindset), since all wishes becoming true would mean a total chaos. And she would discover that during her journey, trying to fight against Magnifico ways and seeing the consequences of her actions, by seeing the chaos that is caused when ALL people get what they want.
I imagine Asha somehow taking over the wish-magic-thing in a certain part of the story, causing that chaos. People of the kingdom would be in a total mess, since certain people made absurd wishes, while other made wishes that somehow countered other people wishes, etc... A chaos, basically.
Then Asha would regret, and Magnifico would appear there in a miserable state (since she took his power), and he would throw at her face the fact that she ruined everything. Then they would argue a lot about how the other is wrong, and by the end of the discution a third person (idk, maybe one of Asha's friends) would intercept and be the sensible one here, making the two try to put themselves in the other's feet. Then, Asha and Magnifico would notice by themselves that they were both wrong.
After that, I think we could have a twist (or not a twist actually, it could be a thing built since the start), where Magnifico talks to the queen, explaining that he regrets his actions and don't want to have this kind of control over the wish-magic-thing anymore. But then the queen would go villain and go like "if you don't want the power, then I want!", and she would try to take over the wish magic, turning into the final villain (she could be written as a neutral character since the start, like someone who was supposely just supporting Magnifico in his dictatorial way of possessing wishes, showing that since the beggining she wanted power and was using him for that)
Then, Asha, Magnifico and friends would have the crazy fight against the queen, she is defeated (then she is arrested or smth idk), and then Magnifico and Asha make their final decision together: freed the wish-magic, and let it work by it's own, as a nature-force that decides by itself how to deal with peoples wishes. No more human controlling it, since no human should "play God".
And then, Magnifico would stay as a normal king, Asha somehow would reach her goals in a cool and natural way, and the wish-magic would work in balance as it should be, by itself
The end!
I think it's better off when Encanto released in 2023,
While Wish is on 2021.
I know it's very difficult and controversial, BUT! Encanto feels too Disney and this is the way to bring the magic and heart of the studio!
Y'know, even if Wish may not have been my favorite Disney movie and all since I did watched and enjoyed that Once Upon A Studio short more? confession is the end credits that I watched a YT video of did sorta became the one fond part of the movie to me because imo seeing the cameos of the only Disney classic that makes me happy and none else called Winnie the Pooh along with my favorite guilty pleasures of Disney's Experimental and Revival era's (*Dinosaur,Atlantis,Treasure Planet,Lilo & Stitch,Brother Bear,Chicken Little Home on the Range,Winnie the Pooh 2011,Wreck-It Ralph, and Big Hero 6 etc.) from the 2000s and 2010's in that movie that I'm usually neutral over's end credits brought back fond memories of them besides also my other favorite guilty pleasures of Disney like A Christmas Carol 2009 and The Wild since I was born in 2002 after all.
Besides, the usually problem I always had with Disney alot since Wish wasn't worth taking my anger on tbh was it's fandom that sorta ruined my enjoyment of Disney for me with it's purism for those traditional Disney classics that they love so much more than anything else as they'd think I'm also not a real Disney fan just because I'm usually more of the "having fun"-type since being traditional really just isn't my thing.
So glad that Pixar besides those Disney movies I listed along with Jetix,Disney XD, and the LA movies I've also grown up with like TRON,Pirates of the Carribean, and Narnia were always my first introductions/exposures to Disney to begin with because if that purism attitude is how the fandom of Walt's company's gonna treat other sane and casual Disney fans like me? then I guess I'd probably won't be a part of it anymore, that also goes for the DreamWorks fandom too lol.
The villain is asha all along. Remember this.
1. You can't kill anyone.
2. You can't make someone fall in love with you.
3. You can't bring anyone back from the dead. It's not a pretty picture. AND I DON'T LIKE DOING IT!
Wish 2: the rising dead.
No
No raisorblade let’s not forget the other two great things that we got from modern Disney this time from Disney Channel. Those were the owl house and Amphibia Which are both are amazing shows and fun fact they are sister shows, and I connected to gravity falls
You know, there is actually one movie that recently came out on Netflix and was actually able to beat Wish on getting a better high score on rotten tomatoes. The movie is called "Leo" and yes it's an Adam Sandler movie but this one is a pretty underrated Adam Sandler movie and I do recommend you seeing it because it's both a hilarious and wholesome movie that (in my opinion) is definitely better than Wish.
To be fair I really disliked recent Disney movies but in my own opinion, I personally really loved watching Raya and the last dragon. It’s one of my favorite Disney movies. But we are all entitled to our own opinions and I respect yours.
According to directors Fawn Veerasunthorn and Chris Buck, King Magnifico was created as the main villain of Wish out of a desire to bring back the classical Disney villain archetype seen in Disney's earliest films, where villains were revealed from the start of the story instead of revealing their true colors later on through plot twists or just being confused individuals who ultimately redeem themselves upon seeing the errors of their ways, whether their crimes were forgivable or not. Thus, they decided to reveal Magnifico's villainy since the trailers but also to supply him with a compelling backstory behind his fall into darkness to not make him a fully-formed villain yet when the film begins, crediting Chris Pine's performance for giving Magnifico charm and charisma that can make the public feel conflicted on whether they hate or love him. Chris Pine has expressed hopes that King Magnifico ends up as iconic as the villains from the Disney Renaissance era, feeling that he delivered a good performance thanks to the music written by Benjamin Rice and Julia Michaels, in addition to feeling honored to play a villain with "great eyebrows".
I saw a short video on RUclips. Think it was called wish was almost 2d. Where one of the producers or directers said that there was a lot of limitations to 2d/ handrawn. I really want to see a video where somebody proves her wrong. No words needed. Just a bunch of clips from Aladdin, Prince of Egypt, beauty and the beast, any studio Ghibli film ( especially the fantasy films) Don Bluths early films.
Just Let the beautiful handrawn moments speak for themselves.
I feel really bad about the creative talent at Disney... and I also feel really bad about the late Walt Disney himself... I can really imagine him crying about what has happened to his legacy.
This has been happening since the 1970s, it took the near-fatal disaster of, The, Black Cauldron, to get them to start caring once again.
Walt is rolling in his grave.
@alphabloodpaw3233 A horrifically-nasty epitaph, unquestionably.
a 6/10 is what I gave it. Didn't love or hate it.
Magnifico for me was the ONLY entertaining thing here. He's like if Jayce from Arcane was a disney villain. Honestly with a few tweaks he'd be fine. First of all--- He's a king who is married..... WHERE'S THEIR KIDS!? He doesn't need an apprentice if he has a bouncing baby mage to work with. So my personal fixes is actually the Queen kept having miscarriages, so she and the king decided to make their kid out of a wish. It didn't work.... at first. Magnifico had granted talents or objects.... But never life before. So he had book of dark arts where he first uses it to make his kid. BOOM. Amaya then feels like she owes Magnifco everything because she could have been discarded at any moment because she couldn't provide. But turns out the dark magic warped their kid's spells to where the wishes came out wrong. So out of embarrassment he sent his kid away to save face and now is looking for a successor because he is getting old.
Asha should be like Viktor. Eager to help her community but is a bit of a social outcast. Asha sees magic no one else can see. But people thinks she's making it up. She has no friends and gets the impression she won't amount to anything. Something about the wishes Magnifico is hoarding has to either trigger his fear of rebellion (Which got his parents killed) or the thought of someone else stealing his glory. He's a narcissist-- let him BE one. So when she tries to whistle blow on Magnifico no one believes her, not even her mom who's jaded after her dad's sudden death. She longs to speak to her dad- cue song- and a star from the constellation Aries fell down and it takes the form of a goat who becomes her first friend and is willing to help her.
Still working out a few kinks, but this is what I'd do if I was in the director's chair.
Disney has become after 100 years what it never should’ve been woke again. I always say this you go woke you go broke. 🙄🙄🙄 With more laziness thrown in there. In fact, all these these movies are so bad that they can’t even beat anything at the box office. So far that Indiana Jones movie had some positivity though it also had negativity combined didn’t have enough to actually beat sound of freedom, so yeah, it didn’t do well at the box office at all.😒😒😒
100% forgettable movie. We got thrilling animated movies like Spiderverse and Nimona this year. This Wish film wishes it could compare.
Super Mario Bros and TMNT Mutant Mayhem were also thrilling to! :)
Honestly, the film should have been delayed to 2024. Why you may ask, it could have solved out all those story problems and unneeded sequences in getting a better outcome. But nope, Disney animation never wants to leave the thanksgiving market behind and would instead rush a movie like no tomorrow. Both Moana and Encanto got a pass, but the past sequels and this picture didn't really do it for me. Frozen 3 and 4 is a train wreck waiting to happen. 🤦🤦🤦
Whoa, hold up. There's gonna be a frozen 4!? I heard murmurs about there being a Frozen 3, but four!?
In 1993, it didn't happen, and, we got, The, Nightmare Before Christmas, instead, as a result, for one of the few times, a non-animated film won the Best Song Oscar.
@@dovahkiin6488The third film's a total given, the fourth film can only be stopped if parents of children, not-yet-born, finally decide, enough is enough, Josh Gad also needs to get rid of Olaf after this third outing.
Some voices of the characters don’t fit either, like two of Asha’s friends have voice actors that don’t have the right voice for the character like, for example, the one in the red suit, she’s like 17 years old I think, and she sounds like she’s 50 years old. That does not work.
In contrast, Godzilla minus one had a budget of only 15 million dollars, and had some of the best cgi of any movie in cinema, and this movie had a higher budget and looked like, well, this
Something that someone pointed out is that Asha's grandfather wouldn't be called Saba since he's her dads father and they're Spanish so he would be called abuelo, saba would be what she calls her mothers father
Having an anniversary film or a centennial film or a film that culminates all the other films together is almost always a bad idea. James Bond did this with die another day and it was the worst Bond movie ever made. Just did this with wish and it was extremely mid. All the studios are gonna copy it though because they want the numbers to be something.
That’s actually a very good example for comparison. Die Another Day was so focused on being the 40th anniversary Bond Film and threw in as many references as it could that it completely forgot it’s also a movie in itself. I feel like Wish is the same thing and a major letdown for Disney’s anniversary, and this is coming from the only person on the planet who actually likes some of Disney’s recent non-Encanto animated films.
Pierce Brosnan's bigger problem was after GoldenEye, the films simply weren't nearly as good.
@alexmillar4878 Madonna's song, (and, cameo), only made the film worse, an absolute disaster.
The concept art for the film was better than the film. I now want a Starboy T-Shirt.
Honestly, this movie always looked meh.
Seriously, Disney makes a generic as hell movie for their 100th anniversary?
"Wish" is supposed to be Disney's magnum opus that celebrates Disney's 100 years of animation. Instead, it was a major letdown thanks to its reliance on nostalgia, comparisons to other animated Disney films, a poorly written story, bland animation, generic characters, and forgettable songs.
So, I ask myself, "What if 'Wish' had a different version than the final result that we got? What if the story and characters were developed better? What if the film was a fully hand-drawn animated film with some CGI animated elements instead of a fully CGI animated film with a 2D watercolor style filter like the final version?"
I asked ChatGPT to generate that alternate version of the film, and here's what it had to say:
In the alternate version of "Wish", the story takes place in the enchanting kingdom of Rosas, where Asha is not just a young girl but the 18-year-old Princess of Rosas. As the daughter of King Magnifico and Queen Amaya and the younger sister of Prince Andrew, Asha carries the weight of royal responsibilities on her shoulders.
The kingdom is known for its magical history, where the reigning monarch possesses the ability to grant the greatest wishes of their subjects. However, this power has its consequences, as the wishes are sealed away, creating a sense of longing and mystery among the citizens. Asha, being a compassionate and curious princess, becomes increasingly aware of the unfulfilled desires within the kingdom and yearns to uncover the truth behind her family's magic.
Sabino, Asha's 100-year-old grandfather, is not only a wise figure in the kingdom but also the father of King Magnifico. Sakina, Asha's 86-year-old grandmother, provides a different perspective as Magnifico's mother, offering a familial dynamic that adds depth to the royal family's history.
The film's visual style is a unique blend of traditional hand-drawn animation and CGI animation. Approximately 80% of the film, including the characters like Asha and her family and most of the scenery and objects, are meticulously hand-drawn, giving the movie a classic, timeless aesthetic. The remaining 20% of the film's environment is brought to life through CGI animation, seamlessly integrated to enhance certain magical elements and create a visually stunning and dynamic world.
As Asha embarks on her journey to unravel the secrets of Rosas, her relationships with her family, friends, and the anthropomorphic wishing star named Star take center stage. The blend of animation styles accentuates the magic and wonder of the kingdom, showcasing the coexistence of tradition and modernity in this enchanting tale.
The narrative still revolves around Asha's quest to understand the true nature of wishes, but now, her royal lineage adds an additional layer of complexity to the story. The dynamics within the royal family, their connection to the magic of wishes, and Asha's role as both a princess and a compassionate individual contribute to a rich and multifaceted narrative.
Also in this alternate version, the character of Star undergoes a fascinating transformation. Instead of being a simple wishing star, Star is a magical human boy with the extraordinary ability to shapeshift into anything he desires. This includes not only inanimate objects but also various forms, creatures, and beings. His character is a blend of the mischievous and carefree spirit of Peter Pan from the eponymous story and the playful and whimsical nature of the Genie from "Aladdin".
As Asha's love interest, Star brings a dynamic and enchanting element to the narrative. Their interactions are filled with playful banter, magical escapades, and a shared sense of wonder. Star's shapeshifting ability adds an extra layer of fun and unpredictability to their adventures, as he can effortlessly transform into different forms to aid Asha in her quest.
Star's fusion of Peter Pan and the Genie's personalities means he possesses a timeless and adventurous spirit, coupled with a flair for theatrics and comedic charm. His boundless energy and ability to find joy in the simplest of moments resonate with Asha, creating a deep and magical connection between them.
Throughout the story, Star not only assists Asha in her quest to uncover the mysteries of Rosas but also serves as a source of comfort, inspiration, and, ultimately, a driving force behind the film's exploration of wishes and the power of dreams.
The romantic subplot between Asha and Star adds an emotional layer to the narrative, highlighting themes of friendship, love, and the transformative nature of wishes. The blend of their unique personalities and magical abilities contributes to the overall charm and enchantment of this reimagined "Wish".
So, what do you guys think of my story pitch?
THIS
Have the queen revealed to be the vile villain and Magnifico being the one who we think is a villain but isnt.
better idea: magnifico's town was destroyed BY a wish
Knowing Disneys current state they are gonna get JoJo Siwa or Olivia Rodrigo to write songs for Frozen 3
But I like Olivia Rodrigo.
As usual, BANGER video.
I have yet to see it but can't believe people are defending it. Like yes TOTALLY valid to enjoy it and like it, please go right ahead! But your opinion, and those of many others, is just as [*if nor not more so*] valid!
I likely won't watch it/review this anytime soon, and if I do I'll be dawning my Jack Sparrow outfit cause well... I'm fed up with thus artstyle, this movie formula, and this whole "real" and "quirky" personality the lead characters/sidekicks have. "Oh, yep yep that's a goat, totally! Erm that's pretty cool huh?"
Gag me!!
If I told you i didn't know till your video it was the 100 year anniversary would you believe me? XD says so much about the impact/marketing.
The fact the Miraculous movie had a budget of $86 million and yet had better animation and music than Wish is pretty sad. As imperfect as that movie was, at least it gave the fans what they wanted.
But I loved that Jenifer Love Hewit song from the Hunchback Of Notre Dame 2.
it feels like WISH tries to be like Encanto and fails at it with there soundtrack
It's kinda ironic how Disney tried very hard to make King Magnifico a pure evil but funny kind of villain like Big Jack Horner or Bill Cipher and yet, in the end, they just failed very hard.
I don't really think that's what they even did with Magnifico.
Even though I understand what they were trying to do for this movie, for disney 100. I found it lacking the magic that past disney had, like when just the trailer alone for Encanto, you could feel the magic. In wish it kinda feels bland
Your idea for how they could change Wish's story is very interesting. It says a lot when RUclipsrs are coming up with better ideas for storytelling than the people who get paid hundreds of thousands to make this movie. There is a lot to criticize, but we just want Disney to have a return to form and remind them of what Walt dreamed up with characters like Oswald and Mickey. If they don't, there's always Dreamworks, Illumination and Sony to look forward to.
One note on the style of animation.
That my take and my takeonly.
I don't want disney to do a spiderman or a Puss in boot 2 style ofanimation. As much as I Worship Puss in boots 2, I don't want disney to just do the same. We don't want to see a style of animation again and again , that again, I fck love.
I want them to be passionnate, and to want to to beautiful animation like they always did in the golden age of disney. I don't specificly want to go back to d animation (well, yes I do,but that not the point) iwant to have artist that have time, freedome, that are willing to work on a cartoon, not only cause of the paycheck, but to make a beautiful art pieces, with their hearth and blood on it (NOT LITERRALY).
We don't want the same style, we want the same determination, and love, and care, and passion. Look at the old disny movies, or any other media. They all I had a style, but each a bit differente from the other. You can see the difference in art between Cinderella and the Lion king, Or Brother bear and Alladins! they are each beautiful and unique.
What we don't like with disney now, is theirs always the same art style at the other movie. Don't get it wrong, the artists that are working on the current disney movies are all doing great, it's not their fault! it's the doing of their leadership. That just want faster, cheaper way to make movie, and tha kill the creativity. As much as Ilove the art of Moana and Raya, you canalways tell that, in the end, they look a like. there nothing to differientiate. Same texture and all... cause heirs no Artistic touch to it, that the people working in the art departement can add, cause they don't have the freedom to do. Theyr in chain, chained by their corporation that don't even undertsand art.
That was my rant. I'm not good at English so *sorryyyyy*
I would love to discuss with all of the people that have different opinions than ine, again, i'm surely totally wrong,it's just how I view it *now* I would love to see your taks on it! I don't think I put allmy thought on this comment, I'm not good at saying what I think but Héh
Wait, Encanto was TWO years ago?!
So I make this wish to have a better movie than this!
Legit thought thumbnail said "100 pears for this?!!".
I kept trying to tell everyone that Magnifico still had a chance to be another sympathetic villain, and I was kinda right.
I think it’s OK… Honestly, I feel like it’s overheated
On a story level Nimona was mid af as well, but compared to the other trash Hollywood spews out, even mid movies are seen as brilliant by the ordinary people.
I just felt nothing when watching this movie I didn’t laugh, I didn’t cry I just felt absolutely empty I’ll give Disneys recent bad films this at least with frozen 2 and Raya and the last dragon I at least felt something when watching them regardless if they were bad or not but with wish i just felt absolutely nothing and maybe that had to do with the production of the movie like how it was originally going to be a cgi and hand drawn animated hybrid, it was originally going to have two main villains with King Magnifico and Queen Amaya and how the star character was originally going to have a human like appearance and would’ve had a potential romance with Asha hearing all of this makes me just think that the production of this movie must’ve been an absolute mess now yeah maybe this could all turn around for the film after all the same thing happened with elemental earlier this year it started off as one of the lowest grossing films for Pixar but then in a surprise turn of events over time it went on to being one of the highest grossing films that summer but only time will tell but yeah Wish is probably the first Disney film in a long time pretty much ever since home on the range to feel like it was made just for kids and not for a family audience for what was supposed to be a movie to celebrate Disney’s 100th anniversary this could’ve been really special but it just fell flat I’m afraid
