When you said Amaya is a shapeshifter I immediately thought she'd end up being a star, like the star boy, but corrupted. It would be a cool parallel if both Asha and Magnifico fell in love with these primal creative energy beings but used that creativity differently.
Oh or maybe Amaya was an entity made when Magnifico first broke a wish and discovered how much more powerful he'd become by doing so, and while testing his new magic he creates his wife which explains why shes so chill with him hoarding these wishes for power; she's a result of him doing so and breaking them, she wouldn't be here if he wasnt a power hungry asshole
The “I have a dream” idea with Asha’s friends would be so good! All of them singing about what they desire because they *know* their wish right now and how the King is gonna grant it someday and then it just gets to Simon and the entire song falls flat for a moment because Simon has no idea what he gave away.
@@doaugh288 Simon is the only one of the main friends who is over 18 so he’s already given up his wish to Magnifico. He can’t remember his wish after he’s given it up and spends the first part of the movie being pretty bland and boring bc of it.
I love this idea, because it would work so well in setting up the damage Magnifico is doing by taking people’s wishes. It would be so weird and unsettling! ❤
Oh my gawd Star could secretly be Aisha's wish, the wish for one true love. But once the conflict resolves and the evil king is defeated, Star doesnt just magically transform into her perfect love interest, but instead they share a tender moment where Star tells Aisha that theyll have to find each other again. She'll know them when they see them, but they hail from a different kingdom and itll take years for them to discover one another, but all they need is the will and determination (and patience) and life will deliver them into each others arms~
I also thought it could be meeting star that despite being a star never had a wish or never knew what a wish was since stars can never really wish as being a key to the wish, which can build up to his epiphany of what he wishes for.
It’s not that they couldn’t it’s that the generic in charge old men think animation is only for kids so what the writers originally made was so interesting and fun but then got watered down by people who don’t do any of the work
Not that crazy my dude, legit Disney has been sucking with plots for a while now, and creatives online have mad energy for knowing how good plot works. I'm just so pleased /everybody/ is on board with how bad the plot of this movie is so we are getting so many good rewrites.
I think that a romantic subplot between Asha and Star Boy could be effectively juxtaposed with Magnifico and Amaya to show what a healthy relationship looks like. A good romantic partner can bring out the best in us, while a toxic romance can bring out the worst in us.
I love your idea of the 7 teens having their own song and their desire to have their wish come true, even if they can't remember what they are. But it would be useful for showing each character's personality and explaining who they are.
It would be super cute in your version of the rewrite if the star falls in love with Asha and his wish is to be human to they can be together. As in the end of the film when everyone harnesses there wish the star becomes human. But that’s just my thoughts if you wanted to the fit the romance into your rewrite. 🥰
It tickles me folks are attempting rewrites of this. Since there’s a core that feels like it can be salvaged if it spent less time on Easter eggs and more on fleshing out everything. Two things that bugged in the original was that Magnifico is one of the few married villains in the roster….. yet he doesn’t have kids?? If Magnifico had a prince or princess he wouldn’t need an apprentice. Perhaps Amaya can’t have kids, thus she bends to her husbands will out of fear of being replaced. As for Magnifico’s past, seeing as it’s the 14th century (looking at the book intro) the royals must have been wish granters too only for a wish to backfire and this gets the attention of the Spanish Inquisition. They royals are dubbed blasphemers, young Magnifico escaped with his loyalists and founds Rosas as a sanctuary away from the inquisition. Asha’s dad being a victim of the inquisition for having too many radical ideas he was spreading to the people. This foreshadows Asha later and her mom’s fear for her daughter.
Honestly, I wish they would do more stories that are semi attached to history. Mulan, Hercules, and Pocahontas did it; and those stories were significantly better. Disney should be horribly embarrassed by the amount of significantly better rewrites that are on the internet right now.
Disney WASTED so much potential on this movie. you're rewrite are just SUPER GOOD, i nod on every single thing u say and regret on how disney just didn't go with this route
You rewrite sounds like a much more sentimental and thought out film compared to the cash grab Wish felt like at times. It definitely would’ve hit me much harder than the actual movie did
Ooooh I loved this rewrite!!! Especially the idea of the friends singing with Asha about their wishes, could make so easy the characterization they characters lacked. I think something cool for that song would be that each friend has a musical style and presentation connected to their personalities/inspirations (Like the Grumpy friend could have some kinda of aggresive rock/metal style, the Doc friend could have some classical or techo inspired style, the Happy friend could have more pop or kpop-like style, and so on with different genres like jazz, blues, funk, etc), but each time they are gonna say their wishes the music somes to a sudden record scratched stop. And on the reprise when they regain their wishes not only the complete their own songs, but the genres come together and upbeat Asha's own "I wish" song.
Would be really hard to string together, but then again it depends on how. The individual motifs/instruments could switch, having their turn in the chorus; like a fugue.
this example may sound weird but this reminds me of the trolls 2 movie ending song; all trolls of diff tribe genres collab to make one song, but keep their genre's core characteristics in their parts of the songs
I love listening to everyone’s story ideas/rewrites of this movie. They’re always so creative and it really gets me excited to think about what we could’ve had if more creatives had been involved from beginning to end. I will say I’d also be interested in hearing rewrites of the music as well. What ended up in the movie never felt right to me.
Sometimes I wish (no pun intended) that Disney had shown the original concept of the movie first and then showed what they went with instead and everyone bullied them into using the original concept, basically a reverse sonic movie.
Tbh I miss Disney movies based on fairytales. Maybe Wish could´ve been an adaptation of "Frau Holle"? Idk, I thought it bc in it there is a well (fits with Snow White who sang a song about wishes at a wishing well), you have spinning wheels (which fits with Sleeping Beauty), you have a journey into another "world" (which fits with Alice in Wonderland), a girl who has to do all the work with an evil Stepmother and evil stepsister (Cinderella). Even if you didn´t do Frau Holle, the already existing story of Wish could´ve been better. Maybe in a more mesopotamian setting since the Babylons and Simerians were the first civilisations who created a calendar and invented astrology.
Interesting, but I highly doubt Disney would turn to such obscure fairy tales. The stories they adapt are generally familiar to audiences. The nostalgia factor is very important in adaptations of this type. I totally see them using lesser known fairy tales as inspiration, though.
As someone who's been wanting more Disney leads with magic powers, I approve. I'm really disappointed that Disney didn't make Magnifico a falle /curropted hero; I'd love an age of Disney movies with grey, complex villains rather than purely wicked ones.
Thank you for your words 🥰. I'll be posting more videos like this soon I was just on a long break because of the strike and I was wrapping up college ;-;. But expect more from me soon!
@@sincerely_liz I wish Disney wish should have been about cassim king of thieves and his mother life as Asha , and the movie would have been a connected to Aladdin, and other animated movies from disney , and cassim telling a story about his grandma life and the star it was his grandfather as a human, marry Asha, and making a wish to defeat king magnifico and with everyone wishes ,what you think
I want all of this to be an experiment that Disney did on the audience to get feedback for the an actual better Wish movie that they will make 2 or 3 years later.
Your rewrite would have been so freaking epic to watch! I just KNOW it would have hit my heart so hard if that had been the actual plot. And it would have been a great way to flesh out the fantastical elements of this fantasy world. That was one of the big things that bothered me about the movie, that it feels like it's constantly on the verge of showing us this really cool world and then never does, but your version is a perfect way to dig deep into the culture and magic and society.
There are natural storytellers, you either have it or you don’t. Your narrative skills are incredible, the rewrite flows more smoothly and most importantly there is depth and emotion 😂 thanks for sharing your rewrite. Wish is great lesson for Disney, no one is above reproach. We need smarter more evolved robust stories for smart more robust generations coming up. But execs are clearly focused on other agendas and it shows.
I personally think they could had made Asha related to the royals unknowingly. I mean her father and the king could had been brothers or distant cousins. Like her branch of family (or the very least grandpa) either got kicked out or walked out with the royal family and her quest is her finding out and having to fight against her newfound evil relatives.
I loved everything about your rewrite, it sounds like such a fun and heartwarming movie to watch, and it would fit so well with the centennial theme. Just to go off your concepts, could you imagine if they did the Star/Magnifico’s evil wife as shapeshifters thing, and they ended up having a wish-magic duel akin to the wizard duel from The Sword in the Stone? That would’ve gone so hard, and been a niche but recognizable reference to any huge Disney nerd. It would’ve been great to see the directors put even 10% of the effort you did into reconceptualizing this story into actually making the damn movie! Anyways, great video, well done!
Nice. Your version is actually way better than the original. What would you think if Magnifico and Amaya were the villains of the story, and Asha was their daughter, and so she has to fight her own parents in order to save the kingdom and her people - and Asha and the Star do fall in love, but can't be together out of fear of what will happen if his magic is ever stolen...and they tragically go their separate ways in order to keep everyone safe. Also, maybe have Magnifico fear the star's magic because that's how he got his power...by stealing it from another star that landed on earth years ago. Do you think you could do the same for "Raya and the Last Dragon"?
I love this rewrite! But if you wanted to include the starboy and Asha romance, Star could comfort Asha and help her overcome grief! In the meantime the two get to know each other and fall in love. Also not very related but I had such high hopes for the movies and thought that Disney would be smart enough to have the opening scene with Asha's father singing her something similar to when you wish upon a star, maybe a rewriten version of it made to suit the plot of the film more ☹️
Maybe something happens where Asha thought she had a lead on her father’s Illness but it’s a dead end and Asha has a moment where she vents to Star about it and her feelings of failure. He’s there to comfort her (maybe he even has a story about grief and he can understand what she’s going through) and she is comforted by the feeling of not being alone (maybe could be a theme/tie into the climax of defeating magnifico) and it could be a quiet moment between the two and help strengthen their bond
My take on asha and star's romance bit is that it's better to be lightly imply. No kissing, no confession, just having moments of them spending time and slowly get to know eachother (kinda like Eugene and rapunzel but they won't get together). at the end where star have to go back, he playfully threw himself upside down (like seen in one of the concept art, Which I assume that's how they met), they stares into eachother's eyes, smiling, he softly says, "goodbye asha" before he disappears, descended to the sky. Even though they couldn't be together. He'd always be there. She just need to look for the brightest star. Ima end that before this feel more like a badly written fanfic on ao3. And it makes they're romance even more focused on than it should've been. Gonna go sit in the shame corner now
Honestly, yes, conveying (the potential of) romance without outright having the characters kiss or telling the audience out loud that they're in love is such a powerful yet underrated storytelling skill. It forces the creators to really craft characters with chemistry. Edit: another re-write video dropped the suggestion the Star still wouldn't be able to communicate with words and had to use sign-language instead. Which, honestly, combined with some character chemistry could be a really charming homage to The Little Mermaid but without the "you have 3 days to seduce them with body language" baggage that Mermaid was saddled with.
Idk. I kind of find it more unique that Asha didn't have powers and was able to achieve her goal as a normal teenage girl. It makes her story more relatable. The point of Asha summoning the star is that there was nothing particularly special or powerful about her, she just felt a very powerful will to help the kingdom and a star came down to help her. The reason this happens is explained in the song "You're a Star". Because everyone and anything in the world and universe came from the Big Bang, everyone has star matter in them and in the film this is done in a slightly magical way where everyone has a connection to the stars and the power of wishing stars, if they want it hard enough they can harness that power. This is shown in the end when Asha's friends and other citizens were able to harness that and save themselves from the king.
The thing is that thr movie does show that Asha has some type of magical power by the end of the movie. Kinda implying that she is the first fairy godmother
@@TECfan1 Yeah but that goes against the idea that she’s special for not having magic in the first place Because in the end she did need it, for unexplained reasons That’s why it would have made more sense to have her be a magician especially it’s the whole “becoming an apprentice for the sorcerer king” plot they never got into. It’s supposed to be a reference to the Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey thing, but that implies Asha would have to have a talent for magic somehow This could lead to the realization that everyone has magic in them, but they never really get into what that means
i do appreciate the sentiment here. but we already have a recent character like that: anna! anna being the well-written hero of the story despite not having any magical powers like her sister communicates the same great message you're looking for. wish, however, i do feel like asha having magical prowess serves the story better, especially for a "return to form" disney movie. and in the end, the magic within all the kingdom's people born from the star stuff connection is made manifest anyway :) it all ties the story together
I love your reprised story ❤ and all the points you brought up. I had similar thoughts about the movie and i wish (ironic) that they could have a do over to fix the problems in this film. Keep up the good work!
Aw thank you so much I appreciate it! I'll definitely be making more videos like this going forward (I was just on a break because of the writers and actors strike :,D).
I'm getting Fire alpaca open just for your rewrite Quick Edit: Plus, the theme about Wishes, grief and magic being inside us all along goes with the song in Cinderella "A dream is a wish your heart makes." "No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, a dream that you wish will come true"
I think it's really cool how this movie inspired so many people to make their own version. As for your rewrite, it sounds much more streamlined and intriguing. I can already imagine the final showdown playing out when she confronts Magnifico
This is one of the most original rewrites for Wish. Many Disney fans are taking a shot at this, but this rewrite outlines better reasoning as to why Asha and Magnifico are at odds. I also like the idea of Asha's ethnicity being thoughtfully constructed in the world-building. The released movie is like "racism and colonialism never existed" and gives the thinnest political motiviations ever.
I like your ideas! I dig the use of dramatic irony with the character of Magnifico - the audience is aware of the antagonistic nature of the character, adding tension to his interactions with the character of Asha & making later attempts to desperately retain hold on to control seem like a more natural progression. The homages to the style or story structure of previous Disney films worked better for me when they were structural, subtextual, or thematic rather than explicit references. It was interesting how Magnifico is implied to be something of a symbol of the Disney corporation itself - a "Magic Kingdom" that literally draws power & wealth from the dreams & imagination of its artists. To be upfront, I have been thinking of a reworking of the plot myself, and think it would be interesting to use the story structure & tropes of fairy tales & Disney films to tell a story about Disney (with Walt & the company he started) to explore the ideas around wishes, dreams, imagination, and illusion that frequently emerge in Disney films and fairy tales. EDIT: I also greatly enjoyed your idea of how to define the seven friends' characters!
I’ve recently gotten into the habit of analyzing good examples of writing in stories and understanding why they work, while also analyzing examples of bad writing, understanding why they don’t work, and trying to find ways to rewrite and fix it. It’s a good writing exercise, in my opinion and also just fun to do. I also enjoy seeing what ideas other people come up with. It’s interesting to think about what could have been.
I honestly LOVE the idea of Magnífico making he’s people sick on purpose for power. Is so dark and emotional for Asha’s character. It reminds me of the dark classical Disney movies, and it makes the revolution actually make sense.
I would've liked to see Amaya start out as a benevolent and kind Queen, but she disagrees with Magnifico on running the country, so he turns to dark magic to turn her into his perfect spouse! That would be an intriguing dynamic and reference past villains! Also, Asha is Queen Amaya's daughter, making her a princess!
I would've wanted to know why magnifico was saying wishes were dangerous. Like what if he was right? What if someone wishes someone to fall in love with them who were already in love with someone else? How some wishes could impact on others ya know? I think people can learn that yes you can't really have everything but you can WORK to get it. Really showing how you don't need some miracle to get what you want. (Encanto pun very much intended) Disney is being incredibly dissapointing these past few years.
amazing analysis and rewrite, i also wanted to point out the pretty obvious flaw within asha’s design. And it’s not even something wrong with the design itself, i just feel like it fails to comunicate with asha’s personality completely. the colors and shapes language is just off
This is the most simple yet well-written rewrite I ever seen! I also want to highlight the queen Amaya being a shapeshifter part where she goes spying on Asha for her mission or so. And it would be a nice twist that, instead having 7 friends, Asha has 8. Which then will lead the audience guessing, "wait, aren't they representing the dwarfs? but who is the other one referenced to?" And in the climax it would be revealed that the last friend was queen Amaya SHAPESHIFTING into Asha's friend. So the real impostor was the villain all along, it's kinda the twisted villain arc but it IS the villain. And a great way to referencing for Evil queen shapeshifting into an old granny to deceive snow white.
I really love this rewrite! This would definitely be a movie I want to watch for sure. For the idea that people must make their own wishes come true, it would be great if the way Magnifico grants people's wishes was more an illusion than giving them what they wanted. Someone wishes to be the best baker in the kingdom? Well, now the magic makes it seem like their baked goods are tastier than they really are. It would really show that making your wish reality rather than having someone else do it for you is what makes the wish worth it.
I think disney should take advantage of the fact that people are putting effort into Rewrite this story. How many bad movies get this chance??? If they made a remake of wish with all of these ideas and put into play then I would 100% watch that. I love all of your ideas!!!
God damn this rewrite is fire. Remember that scene where Star and Magnifico were at the top of the castle and Star gets trapped by him (Star doesnt even fight back 😒)? In your rewrite it could actually be Star vs Magnifico in a badass magic battle for the climax of the movie! Man HOW did Disney drop the ball this hard?? Anyways, love ur video! You earned a new sub 🙏💯
King magnifico didn’t know about the power he got from these wishes until he got possessed by the book though. At first he did want to protect them therefore protecting the people, but then the plot demanded for him to be evil and then that’s when he did discover that the wishes did indeed give him power. Magnifico was just simply a jerk but he wasn’t evil until the plot forced him to be later on in the movie.
I really do believe that Wish needed to be fixed right away and you will be a very good screenwriter for it. And also about Asha and the Star Boy Relationship. All the fans believe for the song called "At all costs." Will be a great love song between the 2 couples something that will be a very magical to them.
Let’s be serious Disney needs to learn to rewrite this movie and make it better. I don’t know why they wouldn’t do that but hopefully someone will convince them
I like your rewrite! I've been thinking up a rewrite the past week since I saw it and these are just some unfinished details of mine: The kingdom of Rosas was a kingdom of Magic. It was common among all people do. I thought I'd expand on the world building a bit more making it a Disney Land like place. There were magical tools toys, gadgets potions and shops in the city much like as we see in King Magnificos room. However dark magic was strictly forbidden. The King of Rosas has Magnificos' original story of greedy thieves destroying his life and building a peaceful place and family where wishes can come true. Since they want it to be more of a classic disney movie they should make Asha the princess, of the previous king and queen that Magnifico overtook in the land. Magnifico was the apprentice of the previous king and queen and from selfish motivation used dark magic to erase the memories of everyone so that he could rule instead. (This was before Asha was born) Everyone in the kingdom live as commoners now including Asha, her parents and grandfather with Magnifico, and queen Amaya, being the only one who can use magic("to keep everyone safe"). He is generous and gives a lot but not without something in return, that being their wishes and memories of passion and creativity at the wishing ceremonies. Because commoners using magic is forbidden Asha is a bit of an oddball and rebel among her peers. Asha wishes to learn magic and grant wishes just like the king. So she sets out to be his apprentice. We'll follow the formula of her wanting her grandfathers simple wish to inspire people through music, which is what he was doing before everyone's memory was erased.(I'd make a detail he doesn't grant the older generations wishes because they come from the previous life they had with the old king and Queen. Only the child like naive ones from younger people that pose no threat.) The King knows who she is, but due to her persistence allows the interview planning to politely refuse her anyway. But then she questions him gets angry like the original. She then wishes upon a star and starry boi ✨comes down and then the story goes accordingly with her efforts of stealing the wish from the kingdom, her grandfather getting his memory back and eventually, finding out the evil truth of Rosas. Asha and her grandfather secretly learn magic to make things right again and use the star to make everyones wishes start to come true without the king. That's when he gets frantic and evil(cue his villain song) That's what I've brainstormed so far I'm not sure where Queen Amaya comes into the picture of all this, and the names of the previous king and queen are undecided. I'm also a big fan of the star being in the form of a boy and possible love interest teehee this was fun 💜
I love your take on the plot! I thought as well that Aisha should've had a more "personal history" with Magnifico to contrapose them, and your idea is just great! Also how you suggested to portray grief and rage in the protagonist is really interesting, because it creates a compelling character arc! I want to see your movie now 😂
Honestly if you ever wrote this and published it, I'd buy it.. It's only a short synopsis and some bits of detail but its actually better than some of the books I've read lately
It kind of feels like the original plot for wish has been designed for a cheaply animated modern barbie movie that exists solely to sell more toys, including the soulless pop songs :(
I know it's reached and disney did not intend that but what if the movie was supossed to be so bad that we would come up re-writes of the story and songs and the re-animations. Walt Disney's whole thing was that "everyone can create something". Now I know disney isn't able to come up with that, but it's a nice redemtion for the company in my eyes.
I totally agree with the wish fuel stuff I imagine mage if Oo would feed off the wishes but it could also feel like to him the more he “consumes” the magic the more addicted he becomes or something like that
This rewrite needs more attention . It is amazing? The way the plot is happening is just so good but even how much we wish we all know we can’t do anything about it and me myself I feel bad for Disney that the 100th year main movie failed.
Gurl, I loved your rewrite! My gosh, the way everything connected together, everything had a reason and made sense... Ugh, it was so perfect! Whilst I think I was happy without a romance going on, I think I would be more interested in seeing some side romance from some friends or general town people. You know what I think should happen? All animators here on RUclips gather round, watch this amazing rewrite, and animate the film EXACTLY as you wrote it up. I would love for that to happen!! Definitely want to see more rewrites for things which really need one, you have a talent!
i havent seen the original movie but the main reason i have kept myself from watching it (other than not wanting to go to theaters) was bc of its "style". i feel like the idea of what the movie should look like is great, with hand painted or watercolor backgrounds and beautiful scenery but i feel like it wasn't properly executed. the style feels cheap, and when you combine the cheap looking style with the cheap writing its doomed to fail. i feel like your rewrite was amazing, and it combined with a much better artistic execution (the colors, saturation, the "cheapness") i feel like it could've really been a masterpiece. disney rlly took the easy route with this film, they didnt take risks or artistic liberties. and the ones that were made were scrapped to ensure monetary gain. im glad the movie has failed in that sense. but im dissapointed bc it could've been so good. (i loved your vid btw idk where else to put this
This definitely sounds like at 89% rotten tomato plot and sounds much more interesting. As far as the romance goes it could be meeting star that despite being a star never had a wish or never knew what a wish was since stars can never really wish as being a key to the wish. And learning about Asha and her family and grandad and seeing her grief and having a Rapunzel/Flynn-like adventure together draws them close he learns what having a wish is a about and hell maybe he can have his own wish of wanting to be human and stay with Asha.
After seeing all the criticisms for the movie, I was thinking about based on that, Magnifico could actually be the protagonist and Asha could be the antagonist, with much more backstory for both characters to make them more sympathetic, but after seeing the video, I love what you’ve done with these characters and the sickness plot :DDD
I watched this movie once, and I hate it. It had so much potential to be a good movie. Only one of Asha's friends I can say what they're like and I can find somewhat likable is Dahlia. She's a feet-on-earth young woman, who works in the palace as a baker, has a teen crush on King Magnifico and loves reading books. My favorite character is King Magnifico, because I feel sorry for him. Yeah, it was wrong from him to keep people's wishes, but he's a paranoid man with PTSD. He's not rational. He deserves better, he deserves a second chance.
I just hit the 1:30 minute mark in your video and already I am 100% down to watch whatever movie plot you are about to describe instead of the absolute disaster of a movie Wish was. Edit: I have now finished your video and think your rewrite of the plot was excellent! Just as anticipated, lol
This. This is just, WOW I love this concept! So original, compared to the OG film, which I know isn’t much of a compliment, sorry. I might make a few animatics using these ideas if that’s alright, once I can figure out humans that is.
I will go watch all Wish video analysis in my recommendation 😂 I have not watched the Wish but i really enjoy hearing people analyze the characters, plot, story etc. Disney really missed the opportunities that make this movie better. I wish they would make the scrapped idea true 😢 CMON WE COULD HAVE VILLAIN COUPLE-
I’d pay so much money for a rewritten version of wish that includes a lot of scrapped concepts and characters 😭 like gimme a novel or something pls omg
Amazing rewrite! Disney sucks compared to this! Yours is 100x better than the trash Disney churns out trying desperately to make a profit. This actually sounds like a movie with a plot and themes that I would watch on my own time.
the designs isn't too good when you actually look at the cultural clothes and architecture seen in the neighboring countries/provinces at the time the movie is set in.
Wish feels like an AI experiment, Disney is testing how much crap audiences are willing to consume if the Disney logo is slapped on. That way in the future they'll take notes and release another AI written movie 😭💀
5:30 I know right? These people are sooo bad at math. Movie can't seem to make up its mind if this is actually a big deal or not, either. 6:50 tbh ibthink it would have been better if instead of paying homage to other disney characters and messing it up theyd just straight up used the characters. Its their 100 anniversary film, they have an excuse to do that and revel in shameless nostalgia blasting. 9:50 Yesss, exaactly, give the wish taking actual consequences. Have magnifico KNOW about the downsides, make him ACTUALLY VILLAINOUS (Or have him unaware of the downsides like he seems in the film, but then let him be a flawed hero instead of a "villain" who might just be a victim of the book finally breaking his mind)

When you said Amaya is a shapeshifter I immediately thought she'd end up being a star, like the star boy, but corrupted. It would be a cool parallel if both Asha and Magnifico fell in love with these primal creative energy beings but used that creativity differently.
Oh or maybe Amaya was an entity made when Magnifico first broke a wish and discovered how much more powerful he'd become by doing so, and while testing his new magic he creates his wife which explains why shes so chill with him hoarding these wishes for power; she's a result of him doing so and breaking them, she wouldn't be here if he wasnt a power hungry asshole

It’s not that they couldn’t it’s that the generic in charge old men think animation is only for kids so what the writers originally made was so interesting and fun but then got watered down by people who don’t do any of the work
Studio executives interfered with the movie @@Meamery
@@Flimstudios5 yes that is what I said
Not that crazy my dude, legit Disney has been sucking with plots for a while now, and creatives online have mad energy for knowing how good plot works. I'm just so pleased /everybody/ is on board with how bad the plot of this movie is so we are getting so many good rewrites.
Agreed. This whole rewrite was fantastic!
I think that a romantic subplot between Asha and Star Boy could be effectively juxtaposed with Magnifico and Amaya to show what a healthy relationship looks like. A good romantic partner can bring out the best in us, while a toxic romance can bring out the worst in us.
I love your idea of the 7 teens having their own song and their desire to have their wish come true, even if they can't remember what they are. But it would be useful for showing each character's personality and explaining who they are.
Having a classic Disney "I want" song but for all.
It would be super cute in your version of the rewrite if the star falls in love with Asha and his wish is to be human to they can be together. As in the end of the film when everyone harnesses there wish the star becomes human. But that’s just my thoughts if you wanted to the fit the romance into your rewrite. 🥰
Wait I love that...that would be such a heartfelt ending 🥰
That would be perfect. It would also tie into Pinocchio.
AWWWWWW that’d be so heard-warming and wholesome! Would definitely have a lot of Disney renaissance vibes!!
I love that it can also be a call back to the classic disney romances too!
Yoooo I had that exact idea, it’s perfect
It tickles me folks are attempting rewrites of this. Since there’s a core that feels like it can be salvaged if it spent less time on Easter eggs and more on fleshing out everything.
Two things that bugged in the original was that Magnifico is one of the few married villains in the roster….. yet he doesn’t have kids?? If Magnifico had a prince or princess he wouldn’t need an apprentice. Perhaps Amaya can’t have kids, thus she bends to her husbands will out of fear of being replaced.
As for Magnifico’s past, seeing as it’s the 14th century (looking at the book intro) the royals must have been wish granters too only for a wish to backfire and this gets the attention of the Spanish Inquisition. They royals are dubbed blasphemers, young Magnifico escaped with his loyalists and founds Rosas as a sanctuary away from the inquisition. Asha’s dad being a victim of the inquisition for having too many radical ideas he was spreading to the people. This foreshadows Asha later and her mom’s fear for her daughter.
Honestly, I wish they would do more stories that are semi attached to history. Mulan, Hercules, and Pocahontas did it; and those stories were significantly better. Disney should be horribly embarrassed by the amount of significantly better rewrites that are on the internet right now.
Apparently Asha was supposed to be their daughter in previous versions?
@@mollyencrypted2488 So I've heard, which would have made her both a princess and a villain's kid.
no one expects the Spanish Inquisition
Disney WASTED so much potential on this movie. you're rewrite are just SUPER GOOD, i nod on every single thing u say and regret on how disney just didn't go with this route
You rewrite sounds like a much more sentimental and thought out film compared to the cash grab Wish felt like at times. It definitely would’ve hit me much harder than the actual movie did
I absolutely loved the rewrite you did for wish. It’s so much better than the actual movie we got. *cough* *cough*
Your ideas are very creative! I really ✨️wish✨️ disney had hired you to make this film 'cause the film we got was kinda... okay?😅
Right! It was just...ok...even though it had alot of potential. Also thank you!
@@sincerely_lizyour version would have been better
Ooooh I loved this rewrite!!! Especially the idea of the friends singing with Asha about their wishes, could make so easy the characterization they characters lacked. I think something cool for that song would be that each friend has a musical style and presentation connected to their personalities/inspirations (Like the Grumpy friend could have some kinda of aggresive rock/metal style, the Doc friend could have some classical or techo inspired style, the Happy friend could have more pop or kpop-like style, and so on with different genres like jazz, blues, funk, etc), but each time they are gonna say their wishes the music somes to a sudden record scratched stop. And on the reprise when they regain their wishes not only the complete their own songs, but the genres come together and upbeat Asha's own "I wish" song.
That is such an amazing idea 😭
Would be really hard to string together, but then again it depends on how. The individual motifs/instruments could switch, having their turn in the chorus;
like a fugue.
this example may sound weird but this reminds me of the trolls 2 movie ending song; all trolls of diff tribe genres collab to make one song, but keep their genre's core characteristics in their parts of the songs
I love listening to everyone’s story ideas/rewrites of this movie. They’re always so creative and it really gets me excited to think about what we could’ve had if more creatives had been involved from beginning to end.
I will say I’d also be interested in hearing rewrites of the music as well. What ended up in the movie never felt right to me.
Sometimes I wish (no pun intended) that Disney had shown the original concept of the movie first and then showed what they went with instead and everyone bullied them into using the original concept, basically a reverse sonic movie.
Tbh I miss Disney movies based on fairytales. Maybe Wish could´ve been an adaptation of "Frau Holle"? Idk, I thought it bc in it there is a well (fits with Snow White who sang a song about wishes at a wishing well), you have spinning wheels (which fits with Sleeping Beauty), you have a journey into another "world" (which fits with Alice in Wonderland), a girl who has to do all the work with an evil Stepmother and evil stepsister (Cinderella). Even if you didn´t do Frau Holle, the already existing story of Wish could´ve been better. Maybe in a more mesopotamian setting since the Babylons and Simerians were the first civilisations who created a calendar and invented astrology.
Interesting, but I highly doubt Disney would turn to such obscure fairy tales. The stories they adapt are generally familiar to audiences. The nostalgia factor is very important in adaptations of this type. I totally see them using lesser known fairy tales as inspiration, though.
I agree, the twist of Magnifico hoarding peoples wishes to use the magic they hold from the start is a great concept instead of him just keeping them.
As someone who's been wanting more Disney leads with magic powers, I approve. I'm really disappointed that Disney didn't make Magnifico a falle /curropted hero; I'd love an age of Disney movies with grey, complex villains rather than purely wicked ones.
I really like this idea! If you changed the names, you've got a legit original story with legs. Thank you for sharing it here.
Aw thank you! 💕
you're so underrated!! this rewrite is amazing! i love grief in shows/movies, and i also think a star and asha romance and I LOVE STAR AS A HUMAN
Thank you for your words 🥰. I'll be posting more videos like this soon I was just on a long break because of the strike and I was wrapping up college ;-;. But expect more from me soon!
@@sincerely_liz I wish Disney wish should have been about cassim king of thieves and his mother life as Asha , and the movie would have been a connected to Aladdin, and other animated movies from disney , and cassim telling a story about his grandma life and the star it was his grandfather as a human, marry Asha, and making a wish to defeat king magnifico and with everyone wishes ,what you think
I want all of this to be an experiment that Disney did on the audience to get feedback for the an actual better Wish movie that they will make 2 or 3 years later.
nah theyre too focused on frozen 3 and 4
Your rewrite would have been so freaking epic to watch! I just KNOW it would have hit my heart so hard if that had been the actual plot. And it would have been a great way to flesh out the fantastical elements of this fantasy world. That was one of the big things that bothered me about the movie, that it feels like it's constantly on the verge of showing us this really cool world and then never does, but your version is a perfect way to dig deep into the culture and magic and society.
There are natural storytellers, you either have it or you don’t. Your narrative skills are incredible, the rewrite flows more smoothly and most importantly there is depth and emotion 😂 thanks for sharing your rewrite. Wish is great lesson for Disney, no one is above reproach. We need smarter more evolved robust stories for smart more robust generations coming up. But execs are clearly focused on other agendas and it shows.
Ahh i love your rewrite ^_^ asha being focused on healing magic and science would definitely make her stand out from the other princesses
I personally think they could had made Asha related to the royals unknowingly. I mean her father and the king could had been brothers or distant cousins. Like her branch of family (or the very least grandpa) either got kicked out or walked out with the royal family and her quest is her finding out and having to fight against her newfound evil relatives.
I loved everything about your rewrite, it sounds like such a fun and heartwarming movie to watch, and it would fit so well with the centennial theme. Just to go off your concepts, could you imagine if they did the Star/Magnifico’s evil wife as shapeshifters thing, and they ended up having a wish-magic duel akin to the wizard duel from The Sword in the Stone? That would’ve gone so hard, and been a niche but recognizable reference to any huge Disney nerd. It would’ve been great to see the directors put even 10% of the effort you did into reconceptualizing this story into actually making the damn movie! Anyways, great video, well done!
Exactly! That’s how you do it.
Nice. Your version is actually way better than the original. What would you think if Magnifico and Amaya were the villains of the story, and Asha was their daughter, and so she has to fight her own parents in order to save the kingdom and her people - and Asha and the Star do fall in love, but can't be together out of fear of what will happen if his magic is ever stolen...and they tragically go their separate ways in order to keep everyone safe. Also, maybe have Magnifico fear the star's magic because that's how he got his power...by stealing it from another star that landed on earth years ago.
Do you think you could do the same for "Raya and the Last Dragon"?
Nv, accidentally rrplied to you
I love this rewrite! But if you wanted to include the starboy and Asha romance, Star could comfort Asha and help her overcome grief! In the meantime the two get to know each other and fall in love.
Also not very related but I had such high hopes for the movies and thought that Disney would be smart enough to have the opening scene with Asha's father singing her something similar to when you wish upon a star, maybe a rewriten version of it made to suit the plot of the film more ☹️
Maybe something happens where Asha thought she had a lead on her father’s Illness but it’s a dead end and Asha has a moment where she vents to Star about it and her feelings of failure. He’s there to comfort her (maybe he even has a story about grief and he can understand what she’s going through) and she is comforted by the feeling of not being alone (maybe could be a theme/tie into the climax of defeating magnifico) and it could be a quiet moment between the two and help strengthen their bond
5:42 he's turning 100 because "disney 1 hundred years anniversary"
My take on asha and star's romance bit is that it's better to be lightly imply. No kissing, no confession, just having moments of them spending time and slowly get to know eachother (kinda like Eugene and rapunzel but they won't get together).
at the end where star have to go back, he playfully threw himself upside down (like seen in one of the concept art, Which I assume that's how they met), they stares into eachother's eyes, smiling, he softly says, "goodbye asha" before he disappears, descended to the sky.
Even though they couldn't be together. He'd always be there. She just need to look for the brightest star.
Ima end that before this feel more like a badly written fanfic on ao3. And it makes they're romance even more focused on than it should've been. Gonna go sit in the shame corner now
I'm bad at romance, but I may just give this a shot
YESSS more ambiguous romance would be amazing 🙏
Honestly, yes, conveying (the potential of) romance without outright having the characters kiss or telling the audience out loud that they're in love is such a powerful yet underrated storytelling skill. It forces the creators to really craft characters with chemistry.
Edit: another re-write video dropped the suggestion the Star still wouldn't be able to communicate with words and had to use sign-language instead. Which, honestly, combined with some character chemistry could be a really charming homage to The Little Mermaid but without the "you have 3 days to seduce them with body language" baggage that Mermaid was saddled with.
@@helenanilsson5666 Woah, that is so brilliant!!! Can you link the video?
Idk. I kind of find it more unique that Asha didn't have powers and was able to achieve her goal as a normal teenage girl. It makes her story more relatable. The point of Asha summoning the star is that there was nothing particularly special or powerful about her, she just felt a very powerful will to help the kingdom and a star came down to help her. The reason this happens is explained in the song "You're a Star". Because everyone and anything in the world and universe came from the Big Bang, everyone has star matter in them and in the film this is done in a slightly magical way where everyone has a connection to the stars and the power of wishing stars, if they want it hard enough they can harness that power. This is shown in the end when Asha's friends and other citizens were able to harness that and save themselves from the king.
The thing is that thr movie does show that Asha has some type of magical power by the end of the movie. Kinda implying that she is the first fairy godmother
@@The-luna-wolf True. But the Star gave that to her to be fair.
@@TECfan1
Yeah but that goes against the idea that she’s special for not having magic in the first place
Because in the end she did need it, for unexplained reasons
That’s why it would have made more sense to have her be a magician especially it’s the whole “becoming an apprentice for the sorcerer king” plot they never got into. It’s supposed to be a reference to the Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey thing, but that implies Asha would have to have a talent for magic somehow
This could lead to the realization that everyone has magic in them, but they never really get into what that means
i do appreciate the sentiment here. but we already have a recent character like that: anna! anna being the well-written hero of the story despite not having any magical powers like her sister communicates the same great message you're looking for. wish, however, i do feel like asha having magical prowess serves the story better, especially for a "return to form" disney movie. and in the end, the magic within all the kingdom's people born from the star stuff connection is made manifest anyway :) it all ties the story together
absolutely yes!! this plot is actually super cool, I wish in an alternate universe this is the actual movie TvT
I love your reprised story ❤ and all the points you brought up. I had similar thoughts about the movie and i wish (ironic) that they could have a do over to fix the problems in this film.
Keep up the good work!
I agree I wish they could just scrap the film and write it again...because it had so much potential :,). Also thank you!
OH MY GOODNESS YOU ARE INCREADIBE!!!!! You are so talented! You should be really popular!!!
Aw thank you so much I appreciate it! I'll definitely be making more videos like this going forward (I was just on a break because of the writers and actors strike :,D).
I'm getting Fire alpaca open just for your rewrite
Quick Edit: Plus, the theme about Wishes, grief and magic being inside us all along goes with the song in Cinderella "A dream is a wish your heart makes." "No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, a dream that you wish will come true"
GET THIS WOMAN TO AN INDIE STUDIO!!! IMMEDIATELY!! WE HAVE TO START THE PROCESS WE CAN FIGURE ALL OF IT OUT OK THE WAY!!!
I think it's really cool how this movie inspired so many people to make their own version. As for your rewrite, it sounds much more streamlined and intriguing. I can already imagine the final showdown playing out when she confronts Magnifico
This is one of the most original rewrites for Wish. Many Disney fans are taking a shot at this, but this rewrite outlines better reasoning as to why Asha and Magnifico are at odds. I also like the idea of Asha's ethnicity being thoughtfully constructed in the world-building. The released movie is like "racism and colonialism never existed" and gives the thinnest political motiviations ever.
I like your ideas! I dig the use of dramatic irony with the character of Magnifico - the audience is aware of the antagonistic nature of the character, adding tension to his interactions with the character of Asha & making later attempts to desperately retain hold on to control seem like a more natural progression. The homages to the style or story structure of previous Disney films worked better for me when they were structural, subtextual, or thematic rather than explicit references. It was interesting how Magnifico is implied to be something of a symbol of the Disney corporation itself - a "Magic Kingdom" that literally draws power & wealth from the dreams & imagination of its artists.
To be upfront, I have been thinking of a reworking of the plot myself, and think it would be interesting to use the story structure & tropes of fairy tales & Disney films to tell a story about Disney (with Walt & the company he started) to explore the ideas around wishes, dreams, imagination, and illusion that frequently emerge in Disney films and fairy tales.
EDIT: I also greatly enjoyed your idea of how to define the seven friends' characters!
I’ve recently gotten into the habit of analyzing good examples of writing in stories and understanding why they work, while also analyzing examples of bad writing, understanding why they don’t work, and trying to find ways to rewrite and fix it. It’s a good writing exercise, in my opinion and also just fun to do. I also enjoy seeing what ideas other people come up with. It’s interesting to think about what could have been.
I like the rewrite. I would love to read the entire script 😊😊
I honestly LOVE the idea of Magnífico making he’s people sick on purpose for power. Is so dark and emotional for Asha’s character. It reminds me of the dark classical Disney movies, and it makes the revolution actually make sense.
I would've liked to see Amaya start out as a benevolent and kind Queen, but she disagrees with Magnifico on running the country, so he turns to dark magic to turn her into his perfect spouse! That would be an intriguing dynamic and reference past villains! Also, Asha is Queen Amaya's daughter, making her a princess!
girl I NEED THIS MOVIE RIGHT NOW
I would've wanted to know why magnifico was saying wishes were dangerous. Like what if he was right? What if someone wishes someone to fall in love with them who were already in love with someone else? How some wishes could impact on others ya know? I think people can learn that yes you can't really have everything but you can WORK to get it. Really showing how you don't need some miracle to get what you want. (Encanto pun very much intended)
Disney is being incredibly dissapointing these past few years.
Yes, I too would like Wish a lot better if they explored that idea by having Asha learn that lesson.
amazing analysis and rewrite, i also wanted to point out the pretty obvious flaw within asha’s design. And it’s not even something wrong with the design itself, i just feel like it fails to comunicate with asha’s personality completely. the colors and shapes language is just off
I would gladly pay for the overpriced popcorn to watch this as a film
The best compliment thank you 💕💕
This is the most simple yet well-written rewrite I ever seen! I also want to highlight the queen Amaya being a shapeshifter part where she goes spying on Asha for her mission or so. And it would be a nice twist that, instead having 7 friends, Asha has 8.
Which then will lead the audience guessing, "wait, aren't they representing the dwarfs? but who is the other one referenced to?" And in the climax it would be revealed that the last friend was queen Amaya SHAPESHIFTING into Asha's friend. So the real impostor was the villain all along, it's kinda the twisted villain arc but it IS the villain. And a great way to referencing for Evil queen shapeshifting into an old granny to deceive snow white.
I really love this rewrite! This would definitely be a movie I want to watch for sure. For the idea that people must make their own wishes come true, it would be great if the way Magnifico grants people's wishes was more an illusion than giving them what they wanted. Someone wishes to be the best baker in the kingdom? Well, now the magic makes it seem like their baked goods are tastier than they really are. It would really show that making your wish reality rather than having someone else do it for you is what makes the wish worth it.
I think disney should take advantage of the fact that people are putting effort into
Rewrite this story. How many bad movies get this chance??? If they made a remake of wish with all of these ideas and put into play then I would 100% watch that. I love all of your ideas!!!
I did not get that Magnifico received power 💥 from the wishes untill the end. So, a first he was just storing the wishes
So, “at” first
God damn this rewrite is fire.
Remember that scene where Star and Magnifico were at the top of the castle and Star gets trapped by him (Star doesnt even fight back 😒)? In your rewrite it could actually be Star vs Magnifico in a badass magic battle for the climax of the movie! Man HOW did Disney drop the ball this hard??
Anyways, love ur video! You earned a new sub 🙏💯
King magnifico didn’t know about the power he got from these wishes until he got possessed by the book though. At first he did want to protect them therefore protecting the people, but then the plot demanded for him to be evil and then that’s when he did discover that the wishes did indeed give him power. Magnifico was just simply a jerk but he wasn’t evil until the plot forced him to be later on in the movie.
I really do believe that Wish needed to be fixed right away and you will be a very good screenwriter for it. And also about Asha and the Star Boy Relationship. All the fans believe for the song called "At all costs." Will be a great love song between the 2 couples something that will be a very magical to them.
Let’s be serious Disney needs to learn to rewrite this movie and make it better. I don’t know why they wouldn’t do that but hopefully someone will convince them
omg we were ROBBED of such an amazing concept!! 😭😭 I would KILL to see this rewrite as a full film!!
Loved the wish song idea, especially the reprise!!
I like your rewrite! I've been thinking up a rewrite the past week since I saw it and these are just some unfinished details of mine:
The kingdom of Rosas was a kingdom of Magic. It was common among all people do. I thought I'd expand on the world building a bit more making it a Disney Land like place. There were magical tools toys, gadgets potions and shops in the city much like as we see in King Magnificos room. However dark magic was strictly forbidden.
The King of Rosas has Magnificos' original story of greedy thieves destroying his life and building a peaceful place and family where wishes can come true. Since they want it to be more of a classic disney movie they should make Asha the princess, of the previous king and queen that Magnifico overtook in the land.
Magnifico was the apprentice of the previous king and queen and from selfish motivation used dark magic to erase the memories of everyone so that he could rule instead. (This was before Asha was born)
Everyone in the kingdom live as commoners now including Asha, her parents and grandfather with Magnifico, and queen Amaya, being the only one who can use magic("to keep everyone safe"). He is generous and gives a lot but not without something in return, that being their wishes and memories of passion and creativity at the wishing ceremonies.
Because commoners using magic is forbidden Asha is a bit of an oddball and rebel among her peers. Asha wishes to learn magic and grant wishes just like the king. So she sets out to be his apprentice. We'll follow the formula of her wanting her grandfathers simple wish to inspire people through music, which is what he was doing before everyone's memory was erased.(I'd make a detail he doesn't grant the older generations wishes because they come from the previous life they had with the old king and Queen. Only the child like naive ones from younger people that pose no threat.)
The King knows who she is, but due to her persistence allows the interview planning to politely refuse her anyway. But then she questions him gets angry like the original.
She then wishes upon a star and starry boi ✨comes down and then the story goes accordingly with her efforts of stealing the wish from the kingdom, her grandfather getting his memory back and eventually, finding out the evil truth of Rosas.
Asha and her grandfather secretly learn magic to make things right again and use the star to make everyones wishes start to come true without the king. That's when he gets frantic and evil(cue his villain song)
That's what I've brainstormed so far I'm not sure where Queen Amaya comes into the picture of all this, and the names of the previous king and queen are undecided. I'm also a big fan of the star being in the form of a boy and possible love interest teehee this was fun
💜
I feel like 2 or 3 expository musical numbers would fill in the rather large info gap that I keep hearing about.
I love your take on the plot! I thought as well that Aisha should've had a more "personal history" with Magnifico to contrapose them, and your idea is just great!
Also how you suggested to portray grief and rage in the protagonist is really interesting, because it creates a compelling character arc! I want to see your movie now 😂
Honestly if you ever wrote this and published it, I'd buy it.. It's only a short synopsis and some bits of detail but its actually better than some of the books I've read lately
It kind of feels like the original plot for wish has been designed for a cheaply animated modern barbie movie that exists solely to sell more toys, including the soulless pop songs :(
Hard agree!! It's really sad to see :((
@@sincerely_liz yup :
I know it's reached and disney did not intend that but what if the movie was supossed to be so bad that we would come up re-writes of the story and songs and the re-animations. Walt Disney's whole thing was that "everyone can create something". Now I know disney isn't able to come up with that, but it's a nice redemtion for the company in my eyes.
I totally agree with the wish fuel stuff I imagine mage if Oo would feed off the wishes but it could also feel like to him the more he “consumes” the magic the more addicted he becomes or something like that
This rewrite needs more attention . It is amazing? The way the plot is happening is just so good but even how much we wish we all know we can’t do anything about it and me myself I feel bad for Disney that the 100th year main movie failed.
Gurl, I loved your rewrite! My gosh, the way everything connected together, everything had a reason and made sense... Ugh, it was so perfect! Whilst I think I was happy without a romance going on, I think I would be more interested in seeing some side romance from some friends or general town people. You know what I think should happen? All animators here on RUclips gather round, watch this amazing rewrite, and animate the film EXACTLY as you wrote it up. I would love for that to happen!! Definitely want to see more rewrites for things which really need one, you have a talent!
i havent seen the original movie but the main reason i have kept myself from watching it (other than not wanting to go to theaters) was bc of its "style". i feel like the idea of what the movie should look like is great, with hand painted or watercolor backgrounds and beautiful scenery but i feel like it wasn't properly executed. the style feels cheap, and when you combine the cheap looking style with the cheap writing its doomed to fail. i feel like your rewrite was amazing, and it combined with a much better artistic execution (the colors, saturation, the "cheapness") i feel like it could've really been a masterpiece.
disney rlly took the easy route with this film, they didnt take risks or artistic liberties. and the ones that were made were scrapped to ensure monetary gain. im glad the movie has failed in that sense. but im dissapointed bc it could've been so good. (i loved your vid btw idk where else to put this
Bro wish is awesome the bonus scene 😢
I really love your rewrite!! Makes much more sense!
Thank you!
Ur idea is much better than the very lazy writing in this movie.. Wish is the 'Dark Phoenix ' X men movie equivalent in Disney..
This definitely sounds like at 89% rotten tomato plot and sounds much more interesting. As far as the romance goes it could be meeting star that despite being a star never had a wish or never knew what a wish was since stars can never really wish as being a key to the wish. And learning about Asha and her family and grandad and seeing her grief and having a Rapunzel/Flynn-like adventure together draws them close he learns what having a wish is a about and hell maybe he can have his own wish of wanting to be human and stay with Asha.
This is an excellent video application for an Imagineering job.
You are criminally underrated, this would have been fantastic to see on screen I love everything about this
After seeing all the criticisms for the movie, I was thinking about based on that, Magnifico could actually be the protagonist and Asha could be the antagonist, with much more backstory for both characters to make them more sympathetic, but after seeing the video, I love what you’ve done with these characters and the sickness plot :DDD
i was literally just thinking of searching for this omg ily
I watched this movie once, and I hate it. It had so much potential to be a good movie.
Only one of Asha's friends I can say what they're like and I can find somewhat likable is Dahlia. She's a feet-on-earth young woman, who works in the palace as a baker, has a teen crush on King Magnifico and loves reading books.
My favorite character is King Magnifico, because I feel sorry for him. Yeah, it was wrong from him to keep people's wishes, but he's a paranoid man with PTSD. He's not rational. He deserves better, he deserves a second chance.
great job on this!
I *WISH* that this film's story was even half as good as your rewrite xD
Disney's "Wish" belongs to this type of "classics" when a re-write is much better than original.
I just hit the 1:30 minute mark in your video and already I am 100% down to watch whatever movie plot you are about to describe instead of the absolute disaster of a movie Wish was.
Edit: I have now finished your video and think your rewrite of the plot was excellent! Just as anticipated, lol
This sounds so good omg ive heard alot of re writes and this is my fav
This. This is just, WOW I love this concept! So original, compared to the OG film, which I know isn’t much of a compliment, sorry.
I might make a few animatics using these ideas if that’s alright, once I can figure out humans that is.
I will go watch all Wish video analysis in my recommendation 😂
I have not watched the Wish but i really enjoy hearing people analyze the characters, plot, story etc. Disney really missed the opportunities that make this movie better. I wish they would make the scrapped idea true 😢 CMON WE COULD HAVE VILLAIN COUPLE-
I’d pay so much money for a rewritten version of wish that includes a lot of scrapped concepts and characters 😭 like gimme a novel or something pls omg
Amazing rewrite! Disney sucks compared to this! Yours is 100x better than the trash Disney churns out trying desperately to make a profit. This actually sounds like a movie with a plot and themes that I would watch on my own time.
oooh this is great! good work!
Definitely a better rewrite, really enjoyed your version!
Damn if i had the resources id absolutely make this a thing using your plot
Very good screenplay.
a lot of people don't mention it but i thinkt he character designs are amazing and same with the kingdom.
the designs isn't too good when you actually look at the cultural clothes and architecture seen in the neighboring countries/provinces at the time the movie is set in.
YES. THIS IS MUCH BETTER
We should replace the Disney plot approves with you
I love the re-write!
Wish feels like an AI experiment, Disney is testing how much crap audiences are willing to consume if the Disney logo is slapped on. That way in the future they'll take notes and release another AI written movie 😭💀
What a good rewrite, great video, keep it up!
Love this rewrite ❤
5:30
I know right? These people are sooo bad at math. Movie can't seem to make up its mind if this is actually a big deal or not, either.
6:50 tbh ibthink it would have been better if instead of paying homage to other disney characters and messing it up theyd just straight up used the characters. Its their 100 anniversary film, they have an excuse to do that and revel in shameless nostalgia blasting.
9:50
Yesss, exaactly, give the wish taking actual consequences. Have magnifico KNOW about the downsides, make him ACTUALLY VILLAINOUS
(Or have him unaware of the downsides like he seems in the film, but then let him be a flawed hero instead of a "villain" who might just be a victim of the book finally breaking his mind)
THANK YOU
omg you are so creative!
