Alicia - First 25 Minutes + Bonus Features! (Meet the Crew!) 

The fact they have the beginning of the short animation start off as the classic Disney cartoons with the harmonized singing and credits was wonderful. THIS is what Disney was supposed to do. Hopefully we can donate and they can make this into an actual movie, I love it so so much, this was a sign for everyone where if we want something done right, we have to invest in the right people to make it happen, this video has shown me we can no longer depend on Disney to make our fairytales, they no longer care what the audience wants, they no longer care in creating stories that will make our children think about them for years to come, stories that the whole family can enjoy. We have to start putting our attention and money to new platforms, it’s only fair. Edit: having the cat was a nice touch, as Disney usually made cats evil due to his disdain for them, adding more of nostalgia to this

Glad to see the villain couple idea coming back. Because even the worst people can find someone to be nasty with.

The contrast between Alicia doing everything she can just to live and support her family versus the royal couple wanting nothing less than all the power in the world--so good! Not sure if you're going the romantic route with Starboy and Alicia, but it would be amazing to also contrast their relationship with the twisted love of Celestino and Catalina. Can't wait to see more!!

I hope Alicia and the Kingdom of Starlight continues to flourish.

Something your storyboard made me realize; "Wish" has this almost familiar charm to it, like if it had better writing, it could've been an underrated 90s film made by an independant company, similae to "Anastasia."

These twenty-five minutes immediately put Wish and anything modern Disney to shame. Looking forward to seeing more of this. 😎 Edit: By “Modern Disney” I was referring Wish, Strange World, and Elemental, calm down ya’ll.

The moment the preview ended my husband said "what, there's no more??" Which i can guarantee you was NOT his reaction to a certain recent Disney film... Great work!!

The queen: ✨I am a material girl ✨

The flow of this story just feels so natural. Nothing is forced, there's no mixed signals, the characters are actual characters, and there's little exposition. This is everything Disney has failed to be in the past few years.

If I wasn’t a child and had money I would totally support the patreon! You’re doing great!

6:20 bro has more Character in this one song then asha had in the entire movie.

I am OBSESSED with the Good Morning song! It’s an excellent characterization of Alicia and her home!

It’s been amazing being a part of this project so far! Thank you all for watching and here’s to what comes next! 😈

Is it bad I cried when I saw that poster? It reminded me so much of classic disney that I just couldn't help myself, my nostalgia kicked me in the butt. I am SO excited to see where this goes. If Disney won't give us good movies, THEN THE FANS SHALL MAKE IT THEMSELVES!

"One star cannot shine without the other." y'all 🌟FEELS🌟

The Good Morning song actually got me emotional -- seeing someone try so hard to be perky and optimistic in a world where things are hard and everyone else has kinda given up... yeah, that hits home. Hope to see more of this ❤

Oooh! YES! More Alicia content! I love this new indie movie in the works! Can’t wait for the finish product in what will probably be 2030 lol. Take your time and make a great product, team! We’re counting on you to make what Disney couldn’t (because this definitely ISNT a Wish rewrite)!

The fact that this fan-made 25 minute long animatic feels more Disney than an official Disney movie, really shows how Disney is really starting to downgrade, Also I LOVE YOUR WISH RE-WRITE!!!, :)

Butler to the King and Queen is ABSOLUTELY meant to be voice acted by the guy who VAed Lawrence from Princess and the Frog 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Now THIS is what Disney should’ve given us! ( 15:24 P.s. I think this shot is beautiful!)

Okay, so just the vibes of the opening credits are immaculate??

Omg I love the official poster 😍

This is way better than Disney I swear.

the amount of sheer PETTINESS you have to have to see a movie, dislike it, and say 'i could've done better'🤣🤣 anyways i love what yall are doin💗

I’m loving this project so far, giving the star a back story and the king an actual evil goal really help the story. Good morning Aralis was a really good opening song and I know this because I could actually remember the song after hearing it for the first time and it got stuck in my head. Keep up the hard work because this project has been so fun to watch so far.

I love that I can spot Disney references without groaning 👍🏾 if I was better at animation or art I’d totally help with this🥰 keep up the amazing work 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Could I add an idea? I was unsure of whether the main action of this preview was happening in the darkened kingdom or the kingdom that still had its star, so I’d suggest clarifying that somehow. Whether showing the lighted sky kingdom in the background of the opening musical sequence or maybe some characters making a reference to how Alicia has to get home early because the light from the single star of their kingdom is dimming all the time thanks to the darkness of the kingdom below. I know that the characters refer to the kingdom they’re in by name, but the audience might not remember the 2 intricate names of the kingdoms after only just learning which is which one time in the opening, so I’d strongly recommend reinforcing which kingdom we’re in so there’s no confusion. This was a stunning amount of work being done by such a small, dedicated team! I really see the passion you have for this story, so I wanted to help in this little way, hopefully not overstepping as a rando in the comments section 😁 Good luck on producing the rest of this film!! 💝

Tried to watch Wish recently… lost interest before the star even came into the picture… BUT THIS!! This had me completely invested in the first 5 minutes!! Can’t wait to see more!!

The background art is incredible! The background artists did an amazing job, it makes the story so immersive with the amount of depth and detail there is. I also love just how expressive the characters are as well. The way the artists captured them really shows how unique and beautiful 2D animation is. Keep up the good work, you guys!

Truly a spectacular 25 minutes! I’m already so invested in Alicia and her story. The opening was a charming nod to some of Disney’s older works with the use of title cards and story book imagery and I definitely feel that same spark of magic. Your ’inspiration’ is apparent but it’s also still very unique and has a modern and relatable feel due to the realistic depiction of the everyday life for normal people with jobs who have to work to live and pay for rent vs the 1%. I love the Disney villain couple and my only note would be about the queen. I enjoyed her spoiled tantrum but I think it conflicts with her more levelheaded and reasonable self when talking with the king. I wouldn’t want to lose that scene with the servants or her characterization of being spoiled and materialistic. I think keeping the initial outburst of periwinkle vs lilac is perfect but then follow it with a quieter disgruntled rant something akin to Miranda from Devil wears Prada still commanding but more restrained. That is of course just my opinion and doesn’t deter from anything you lovely people had made. I’m eager to see more!

23:05 "My little witch" AWWWW usually that word is used to mean something else as a form of address but here it was so heartmelting...🥺

This has such a great vibe Alicia is relatable(not in the Disney clumsy girl way) I hope to see more things from this in the future

When this cartoon comes out, I will say that I followed it from the very beginning. Well done!

I'd happily watch a whole movie of storyboards if they're this good

You guys already won me over with that classic Disney-esque exposition and the town singing and choreographed dancing like the Disney flash mob they should be 🥹 Really made me nostalgic for that kind of Disney again - where everyone sings their desires and troubles along with the main/lead character 🤩 Good job with this!

This story is so lush with love for classic Disney! I can’t wait for more of what’s in store!

“Out there all alone again huh? … Yeah, me too.” Ooo! That line gets me good!

0:20 that poster is just so darn beautiful!!! Y'all have done such an amazing job already! Y'all are getting a new patron!

AHHHH ALICIAAAAA

WOW! 25 minutes already?! You guys work so fast!!!👏💪 It’s SO cool to get to see and hear from the AMAZING team behind Alicia! You guys are WONDERFUL!!! Keep fighting the good fight, it’s clear that SO MUCH HEART, love, and passion goes into this (not to mention TALENT🤩)!!! Y’all put big bad Disney to shame 👏💪💖

I love the cat’s reaction to the king and queen’s lovey-dovey moments.

This is great, much better than "Wish" in my opinion. It gives me memories of the original Disney classics

Te fact that Alicia has more personality and I'm more engaged in her story in just the opening number says A LOT!! You put so much effort and I love the contrast between Alicia cheery actitude vs the rest of the kingdom, that is just tired. Also, ASTRALIS BEING A FISHING KINGDOM!!??? I LOVE IT SO MUCH! And I can't believe I'm saying this but I LOVE DOMINIC!! Alicia is so sweet and she's so hard trying to keep it together. I really like her. The backgrounds are so beautiful, and this project has so much charm.

you kept the braids, thank you!!!

The queen voice actress is CRUSHING IT, I don't know if it is a temporary role or not but I really think she is the one for the final version!

Ugh! On one hand, I want to watch this to support the project, but on the other hand, I don’t want to be spoiled for the final film! So, I’ll just comment about my frustration and hope that I can boost the algorithm that way

The "Meet the artists" was really cool to see! Nice work, everyone! The bit at the end made me chuckle.

One of the pros I have is the art direction! For example, I literally screamed when I first saw the thumbnail! It reminds me of a book cover! (I guess it makes sense because the story starts with a storybook 🙃) A lot of the backgrounds are also really pretty! I'm curious to see how this story will unfold! 😁The characters seem really interesting!

Incredible singing by the way

Sold by the ten minute mark! And yay to all the competent Disney references and homages!

This looks incredible and Already way more interesting than the original. Alicia is hard working and choosing to be optimistic rather than being "Quirky".

the fact that disney took years to create the atrocious movie that is wish compared to this amazing rewrite with catchy music, actually good voice acting and an INFINITELY better script, is so impressive??? and you put so much life into this story aswell, even though only half of the animatic is produced, i find myself coming back to rewatch it, bravo. seriously, (pinkmachine & everyone else involved) remember to take breaks aswell because this must be exhausting

This is gorgeous. As an artist myself I can appreciate both the work this takes and the faithfulness to classic Disney. Thank you for doing what the executives never will.

I was so excited to see this! Seeing the 5 parts in one video gives a nice flow to the full project. It looks, sounds, and feels amazing. If you still need voice actors, I would love to be a part of this project. Can't wait for future videos. 😊🌟

Keep up the good work yall! It’s amazing so far

I don't actually want to watch it before it's completed, I want to see everything at the same time. But here's a like and a comment for the algorithm! Good continued luck! I'll just leave it running muted in the background, heh.

Can't wait to se how this ends up! Still holding up hope that they'll pull a Snyder Cut style remake for Wish but in the mean time this is looking pretty good

I hope this becomes a hit. The Walt Disney Company was supposed to be about happy fantasies, but I don't see it anymore. 😡😭 I thank you from the bottom of my heart for keeping something like this alive. 😊

This reminds me so much of the old Disney I so enjoyed, especially beauty and the beast and the princess and the frog, those two movies really shine in the one you’re creating and I can’t wait to watching this once it’s complete. Everyone working on this is truly talented!!

Wow! 25 minutes so far! I don't know what the ultimate runtime will be but I imagine that's a pretty significant portion and it's looking great so far! It was great meeting the artists as well! You're all doing amazing! :)

Yep you're doing a very good job 👍 we're rooting for you

I absolutely LOVE this so far!! I really love Celestino voice, the backgrounds, the plot of this magical adventure, Alicia’s personality, Domino, and everything you and your team show in the video! It’s beautiful and amazing!✨ I’m excited to see when it’s done! The colors, animation, and hear all the voice acting for the characters! You and the other artists are awesome and talented, and did a fantastic job working on this project! Keep up the great work and keep being awesome! 👍💖🌟✨

I love the good morning song! Unlike many of the lyrics in Wish... this song actually rhymes! And the tune is so catchy! It beautifully established the main characters attitude and feelings. It also established her setting and responsibilities.👏

I AM SO UNBELIEVABLY BLOWN AWAY BY HOW MUCH EFFORT AND TEAM WORK WAS PUT INTO THIS AMAZING PROJECT!!!!! I am so captivated by the storyline and I LOVE how you gave Alicia other character traits besides "being an optimist". The villain couple dynamic was very intriguing, and I cannot wait until you guys make more!!!!!!!💗♥💗♥💗

I love ALL the changes. The focus on the sea, how people feel empty and how our protagnoist works in the castle.

This is absolutely incredible! It genuinely felt like a classic Disney movie with just the animatic alone. Although I can’t donate I am so exited to see the final product

The poster is SO PRETTY, I need it on my wall soooo bad!

not even into watching the animatic portion yet and just all your voice variation through your intro. I really hope you're voicing some of the background characters yourself. You really sound like you have some great potential as a voice actor just as amazing as you are an animator.

Omg! I love Kate’s voice!! It’s so pretty! Good job to all the background artists and animators in this project!! Can’t wait to see the team expand and see what will come out of this project!

This is looking amazing you ALL did such great work and I can’t wait to see more

Holy smokes. I’m a super Penny pincher but I think I’ll become a patron. I can’t do it until I pay off my cat’s vet bill, but I look forward to following this project.

Already better than Wish by a long shot! I was at the edge of my seat the whole time watching this! Keep cooking!

This is incredible. Disney should hire you. Will this be a romance? And will Alicia get a “Princess Dress” moment? I’m a total fairy tale romantic.

This is greattttt! The song shows her character and a bit of world building. Where as wishes opening song was purely world building exposition. Alicia has character! It's so great to see!! She is positive but "keeping bitter thoughts out of mind" so she is choosing to focus on the good. She works really hard, and is determined. She cares about the people around her, the animals, even the stars. But she also yells at the goat- showing she is capable of slipping up, where as in wish Asha didn't have any other emotions than 'quirky girl in a frantic state'. The king and queen are perfect opposites to Alicia. They are greedy where as Alicia is humble and trying to make ends meet. They are selfish where as Alicia cares. They are also just better than the "villain" in Wish. I had no clue what his deal was in wish. ALSO YALL SLAYED IN THE ANIMATION, VOICE ACTING, MUSIC, AND ALL THE OTHER STUFF. Keep it up!!!!!!

I absolutely cried during Good Morning 😭😭😭😭 It was probably the most nostalgia I've felt from an animatic in foreverrrrrrr

This is absolutely amazing, I didn’t want it to end!! I especially love the character of the queen. I can see her either being fully evil or being redeemed and I think that’s GREAT! Ahh I could go on and go, but needless to say this is already miles better than Wish. Can’t wait for more!! ❤

I was a Bit sceptical at First, but DAMN THATS GOOD. It does so well in translating lost scenes and potential and the changes made are so cool! Love the work

I'm trying to do the best I can to share each new animatic with online friends, keep up the awesome work!

I cannot tell you how much joy this project gives me

Pinkie you should've included yourself in the meet the artist section!! This was amazing though its awesome to see it all come together.

"Watch out world here I are" to this. Heavy glow up ngl

You have no idea how much that opening sequence added to the nostalgia, something the original movie missed.

1:00 YIPPEE!

This is absolutely amazing, the characters have so much character, the backgrounds are beautiful, the songs and music is amazing, everything about this project is so wonderful and it's an absolutely awesome project!

Some nice ambient music and a fluid animation cycle and this would be stellar. Y’all cooking

I remember seeing someone being toxic, telling people to die cause they didn't like Wish and saying rewrites were soulless This rewrite proves them wrong and blows the original out of the water

Ok that is so good. I would buy your movie !

I’m so happy and so overjoyed that this has turned into in actual reality! I haven’t even seen the Wish movie since the trailer came out, it didn’t fill me with excitement like other Disney movies had, but this project ❤❤❤❤❤ I’m more than grateful for to you and the whole team!!! Keep at it and know we’ll follow you for the whole journey ❤❤

THIS IS TURNING OUT SO WELL!!! I love this project, keep up the good work :D

This is gorgeous! It feels like disney more then disney itself. And i said it once, ill say it again, BRING 👏BACK👏 LOVE 👏INTERESTS👏 IN👏 DISNEY👏

This project is amazing! Thank you for giving us a great movie (well, half-movie)! I hope you guys are having a good day!

I’m eleven minutes in and I’m already hooked. The Good Morning song was lovely and hit all my nostalgia buttons. The glimpses I have of this world show me that the citizens of this kingdom are oppressed worker bees and that they definitely have to pay taxes and rent. I like this because despotic villains should not be ruling a Utopian kingdom. Also, the baby goat is mischievous and destructive but also charming. You’re doing great, sweeties!

I kid you not that first song got me tearing up a little. It was so good, the story the characters and even their environment were so fleshed out. Its giving the charm of old Disney yet it was something new at the same time. I love everything about this, can't wait for more updates

Okay, let's see, I'm a sucker for literally anything fantasy and/or star themes, Check. This is looking absolutely amazing, even though it's literally just a storyboard, Check. The first song of probably many was absolutely amazing, Check. I am ALREADY deeply invested in this story, Check Yeah, I will definitely watch this when or if it's done. If I could do more than just like and comment, I would definitely do so 💜

I hope we get an evil villain couple song.

Can't stop, won't stop, listening to Good Morning song. Everyone was able to capture a charm to this production. ✨️ I'm so glad for everyone's ambition for creating this gem. 💎 I hope this project continues and sees it to the end. I hope sometime soon I'm able to give a little support through Patreon. But more than anything, for others to get the chance of seeing this for the beauty that is. ❤

This is beautiful! I love this project so much 💫

This is amazing! 25 mins of amazement and loved the meet the artists section at the end. You’re doing great and excited for what’s to come!

SUBSCRIBED. So happy to find someone who takes the risk for real entertainment! You are doing a fantastic job, please don't stop!

This has the classic disney vibe that modern disney is now lacking. This has soul! This has passion! This is beautiful! This is 100000x better than disney
