I'm an Australian writer, currently based in Los Angeles. I have a blue beard, wear colorful clothes, and my goal is to fill the world with as many cool things as possible.
King Magnifico becomes the mirror in Snow White. However did anyone else notice the connection to sleeping beauty? The book had a dragon on it as well as the magic is the same shade of green as Maleficent.
I think when she says goodbye to Star it is a reference to Pete’s Dragon. It is very similar to when Pete says “your leaving, there’s another kid in trouble “
I believe that’s other one of the references was to Moana. This is because Asha is drawn to the stars like Moana is drawn to the ocean and the ocean listens to her that same way that the stars and sky listened to Asha by sending the wishing star. I’m not entirely sure if this is one or not but that’s what I thought. Leave a like if u caught this and or think this is true plz.
Also another reference was with the turtle with the Lilly pad on his head. This is to Snow White and the seven dwarfs because after she falls from fear in the forest, when she starts singing with the little bird a turtle pops up with a Lilly pad on its head and is identical to the one in Wish
If Disney hadn't skipped the BEAUTIFUL love story between Asha and the Starboy, and the evil villain couple, Magnifico and Amaya, then I would have absolutely LOVED "Wish"!!! 😭💔💢
I might have a few, like when Asha jumps into the water like from the scene in Moana, the dragon on magnificos book is a reference to Raya and the last Dragon, also magnificos cape looks a lot like Elsa’s dress in frozen 2, also the tapestry in his room looks like the one in brave and in when he sings “This is the thanks I get “ the village is similar to the Dr. Faciliar and Rosa’s is a big reference to Beauty and the Beast Rose 🥀
I thought the chem lab in Magnifico's castle resembled Basil's from The Great Mouse Detective. Also, my Dad pointed out when Magnifico chases Asha into the woods on horseback, there’s a nod to the Headless Horseman from The Adventures of Ichabod Crane when the horse rears back.
Saba Sabinos wish reminds me of coco. With him playing to a group. Also maybe a stretch but the lyrics in “this is the thanks get” “It’s genetics - I got these genes from outer space” Could this be a lilo and stitch reference. ?
Swveral times, the woshes intentionally line up to gorm hidden Mickeys. The feather pen drawing the Mickey isn't just any Mickey. It's the Disney Channel logo from the 90s that the actors would 'draw'. At one point, Magnifico is swirling the wishes around him in a way similar to Mickey in Sorcerer's Apprentice. 4 little diamonds float up from Magnifico's potion like the ones in Frozen 2.
The turtle swimming on the back kinda looks like the one in the princess and the frog ! I'm glad you found the atlantid reference because I wasn't sure about this one !
Theres one you missed, when star sparkles glitter dust all around Asha at the end of the movie, I think it's a reference to when Cinderella transforms, the movements are even the same
This is uncanny I love it! I think I'm starting to feel just like Asha! It's like all the Disney characters were about to fulfill my destiny! But I have so many wishes it's sometimes hard to choose!❤
