Disney's Wish is WAY WORSE than we thought...

Makes you wonder if she's actually a Gold digger who never really loved her husband.

Maybe the real villain was the queen all this time? Her wish was to become the only ruler of the kingdom and she granted that wish behind king's back. And since that moment everyone went nuts, because no matter what... the wish must become reality.

@@youtubewontletme It would have been such an interesting turn of the story, tho! At first viewers might be be skeptical, why everyone's IQ suddenly dropped halfway through the story, but in the end, after the reveal it all comes together. A solid story with a valuable lesson: even if your wish is not bad you have to be sure, that achieving it won't harm anyone. Because that's where good intentions transform into bad actions and that's the trickiest part of any wish.

LMAO

EXACTLY how did the entire production team not notice that? lol

You know how bad it is when my 10 year old came up with a better verse by saying : “ I welcomed you as my guest, and I don’t even charge you rent “ It really hurts when a professional song writer being upstaged by a 10 year old.

My middle school English teacher always told us to cut out sentences that just repeat the same point. Meaning thirteen year old me could’ve written better lyrics.

“I let you live here for free and I don’t even make you pay"

Maybe that's why so many people are rewriting it

Oof, I know the feeling First drafts have good ideas but they’re incomplete, and when they get a finished second draft they’re good but some deets from the first draft are missing which really-Sorry, apparently that was a trigger for me

Apparently, the first draft was much better. Asha was supposed to be the King's apprentice, learning magic from him. The star was also supposed to be humanoid and be Asha's love interest. The Queen was also supposed to be evil, so we could have gotten our first evil-power couple from Disney. What a missed opportunity.

This movie went through TONS of rewrites. According to rumors, one draft was going to reveal Magnifico as a fallen star. Another was that a young spoiled Prince Magnifico was going to be the protagonist where he's learning how to grant wishes and becomes humble by the end

FACTS But meh I've grown sick of Disney anyway so I don't really care if they succeed.

Except for wanting Disney to succeed I agree.

They had competitors? I'm guessing you mean Pixar then? Cause Disney didn't have competitors in their first era. Snow White The og cartoons with Donald duck and Mickey and them. They had competition in the early 2000's hence Pixar being in it and booming in that era 2000's to mid 2010's. With bangers like Toy story 2-3 Nemo Ratatouille Etc

⁠​⁠​⁠@@TheSpookyCaramellitoit was around the 80s and 90s that other studios started to compete with them in animated film industry. Warner Bros., Fox Animation Studios (yes that existed), and even some former team members like Don Bluth who produced Secret of Nimh and The Land Before Time, and Jeffery Katzenburg who founded Dreamworks.

Anastasia even has a better take on wishes/life long dreams and how they can change over time and require hard work to actually accomplish 😅

Ahh yes, Anastasia. The not Disney movie that everyone thought was a Disney movie since they where trying to make their own Disney movie but eventually became a Disney movie that Disney refuses to make a Disney movie. Also yes, it is very good. Dark of the Night and Once Upon a December are engraved deep within me. Heck, it's spinoff movie, Bartok the Magnificent was better than Wish. Granted both of those are made by the legendary Don Bluth, but still!

yes i was appalled seeing that comparison!

Yeah, I probably would have used Quest for Camelot as that example. ... except even that one still had better animation and music than Wish...

Don't care what anyone says, Anastasia was great, and definitely the top non Disney or Pixar animation of the 90s

Oh and don’t forget “If someone has what you don’t, they should give you more because they are quote unquote privileged”

i don't like that phrase. It sound like : don't try and just wait and hope your wish come true .

And the thing is, the filmmakers didn't INTEND this to be the message! It's supposed to be "Don't put all your trust in someone else to achieve your dreams!" But all that obsession with shout-outs to older movies helped warp it.@@RamdomLolola

Having a wish a is way to believe, but working hard makes it come true.

I just forced myself to watch this film yesterday and I gotta say that when the trees started singing I gave up.

I choked on my breskfast💀

"I are star Magnífico! 🌟👑"

What your friend actually means is: "it took them 100 years for them to become what they are today, and that film represents that." Because this is who they are and have been from the very beginning. It just took us too long to see that.

@@nevaehhamilton3493i mean yes and no, while Walt indeed wanted to expand and create an empire he actually put heart and soul on the art he was creating, you could see the passion on that man for films while also wanting to grow his company, he had both the mindset of a business man and an artist meanwhile today Disney only has the money in mind but not the care for the artists they hire throwing all innovation out, that’s really the big difference

AGREED 100% this movie's writing is AWFUL

The exact opposite of what Pinocchio and Princess And The Frog, 2 of their best movies imo, teach

In Princess And The Frog, the whole flipping lesson was "Work hard, and you can make dreams come true." In Wish, the ending is like "Magic makes your dreams come true" which isn't even a useful lesson because in our own lives, we don't have magic. Princess And The Frog had magic, but a lot of it was from the villain, and then there was the magic for Tiana and Prince Naveen to become frogs. Magic was what helped them on their emotional journey, not what solved all of their problems or made their dreams come true.

@@eglol exactly LOL the magic may have indirectly led them to figure OUT how to make their dreams come true, but they didn’t just get to have what they wanted because they really wished for it. Hell there was even a whole song about how what you want and what you need are 2 different things LOL

I'm just thinking aviut how that message in Wish compleatly goes against princess and the frog

So true.

Indeed

So real.

for real

Couldn’t have said it better myself Also shut up if you think of comment policing

Honestly, though, if the movie came out in 2024, it probably would've actually been good. Sure, it wouldn't have been released on the 100th year, but at that point, I just want the movie to be good

just like the new avatar series being released. They took their time on casting and visual effects and to sum it up they already have the series as a well written script and unlike many remakes of our time they are strictly staying on the main plot. no add ons no subtractions just strictly the main plot and though it has been in the making for quite a while fans are still incredibly hyped for it esp[ecially after thier recently dropped trailer

The thing is those professional writers are long gone and Disney outsource and hired writers that close to no experience in film making.

because disney is a company and their purpose is to increase profits, not make good movies, if they think making good movies will increase profits then they'll do it but they discovered they have a cheat code where regardless of what crap they put out it will still make tons of money

I swear I've seen this exact same comment on at least 3 other videos about this movie

Yeah I can’t stand those types of people, they’re the same ones who say Game of Thrones is boring because they talk about politics.

The funniest part of that argument is that Walt Disney himself apparently resented the fact that his films and animations were increasingly pigeonholed as being "children's entertainment" during his lifetime. He was constantly trying to push the envelope in terms of what animation was capable of and the stories it could tell. We tend to think of the Classic Disney movies as being somehow quaint, but if you actually go back and watch them, they're dark as heck. The Evil Queen explicitly commands the Huntsman to cut out Snow White's heart so she can keep it in a box, the donkey transformation scene in Pinocchio is genuinely still one of the most horrifying scenes in animated movie history, Bambi and Fantasia are both basically "dark but some occasional funny", everything about Maleficent is terrifying, the 'Pink Elephants on Parade' sequence has imagery that is downright disturbing. Even with the anthology films from the 1940s you have things like the Headless Horseman chasing Ichabod through the forest, the ending of 'Willie the Operatic Whale', and Donald Duck going berserk from starvation and trying to kill Mickey and Goofy with an axe (with the implication he was planning to eat them afterwards)... Disney being *exclusively* kids' media hasn't been a thing until arguably the direct-to-video sequel plague of the late-90s-to-mid-2000s...which still started less than 30 years ago. And even then I'd argue that this is the first movie since then that, again, was primarily targeted at children rather than the entire family. To try and excuse the film with "it's just for kids" is absolutely an even bigger slap in the face to Disney's legacy than the 100th anniversary movie itself just being bad.

​@@overlydramaticpandasomeone commented how far Disney has fallen when they compared the villain song in Wish to Hellfire. Like it legit feels like a totally different company when you think of the likes of Hellfire, Savages, Be Prepared etc. ultimately evolving to "I let them live here rent free 🤪"

@@writerwiles2406 The funny (sad?) thing is that the whole "I let you live here for free and I don't even charge you rent"...thing isn't even close to being the only bad lyric...and the villain song that sounds nothing like a villain song isn't even close to being the worst song in the film. Like...every Disney musical has that one lyric you hear and go "hmm...kay... You were stretching there"; 'Wish' has multiple examples *per song* . I mean the absolute worst offender is "watch out world, here I are" because it's just...so damn easy to fix - like that shouldn't even be a "first draft" line; it's just...ugh - but then you also have things like "throw caution to every warning sign", "eloquent dancers" and the VA trying so desperately to make "can't keep count" sound like it rhymes with "more than himself"... Why they went with a writer of pop songs (with not even that much experience of writing pop songs) over the multiple experienced musical theatre songwriters/composers/lyricists they've previously hired over the years is completely beyond me. Even if this movie *were* just for kids, they still deserve a heck of a lot better than this mess...

I agree that they should've hired someone who does the right style of music rather than a pop musician. Even so, she's not all to blame: apparently they regularly gave her no direction (resulting in the vague, unsubstantial lyrics that are often irrelevant to the story) and asked for more songs really last minute (resulting in lots of the "first draft" feeling lyrics because she had no time to iterate or improve them before the deadline). A LOT of it feels like she was just spitballing ideas, sent off her rough draft expecting feedback, and then was told "approved, thanks." Take the "eloquent dancers" line, for example. As many people have pointed out, "elegant dancers" is a typo-and-autocorrect-mistake away. But instead of Disney sending it back with notes like "wouldn't 'elegant' make more sense?" so she could correct it, they were in such a rush to get it out that they just gave it the stamp of approval and moved on. Or the villain song, which is one of, if not THE song, that could benefit most from a complete rewrite (not just lyrically, but musically too), especially since it references themes/plot points that were later dropped. But they couldn't afford the time it would take to re-write, re-record, and re-animate it (and not that they _couldn't_ afford the money it would take, but potentially they were _unwilling_ to spend it). There's just... SO much that went SO poorly.

Well, they realized at a decent age.?

It's basically the Lilo and Stitch of this era.

I bet Disney wishes they had their _Wonka_ right now.

I liked Rapunzel a lot better than Frozen, too. I am a sucker for fairy tales, and while Tangled was updated, it hit all the same story beats very well. Frozen was supposed to Be the Snow Queen, which is a TOUGH story to adapt. And while it is a good film, it doesn’t feel like the Snow Queen to me, just a more original fairy tale

True. It could be that the actors/actresses were doing an initial read-through of the script and Disney just recorded them saying their lines for the first time and called it "good enough". Honestly, I can't imagine any of the cast getting that script and thinking "Wow! This is an AMAZING script!" Such a gifted, talented cast...such a waste of their talents...

The best character is literally the villain who has no real evil plan or motivation, because he can act and he does things.

ARIA sneaks out of the castle, disguised as a commoner, eager to experience the festivities. ARIA (to herself) Just for one day, I want to be part of the enchantment. ARIA joins the lively crowd, where she meets a charming street performer, FINN. FINN Welcome to the carnival, my lady! Care for a dance? ARIA (smiling) A dance? Why not! They twirl and spin, laughter echoing through the square. Suddenly, a mysterious figure, MALIK, appears and casts a spell on ARIA. MALIK (laughing) Enjoy your little adventure, Princess. Soon, you'll be trapped in a world where magic is fading away. ARIA is surrounded by a magical aura, and the carnival transforms into a dark, desolate land. ARIA (panicking) What's happening? FINN (fearful) It's Malik, the dark sorcerer. He's taken away the magic! ARIA and FINN embark on a quest to reverse the spell and restore the kingdom's magic. Along the way, they encounter a quirky magical creature named TWINKLE, who becomes their guide. TWINKLE We must find the three ancient relics scattered across the realm to break Malik's curse. ARIA, FINN, and TWINKLE journey through mystical forests, treacherous mountains, and enchanted caves, facing challenges that test their courage and friendship. INT. CAVE OF ETERNAL WHISPERS - NIGHT In the cave, ARIA discovers a magical mirror that reveals the truth about herself and her kingdom. ARIA (teary-eyed) I have a responsibility to protect the magic within us all. They unlock the first relic, a shimmering crystal, and gain a clue about the next one. EXT. MAGICAL MEADOW - DAY ARIA, FINN, and TWINKLE navigate a meadow filled with talking flowers and playful creatures. They encounter a wise old TREE, the guardian of the second relic. TREE To prove your worth, solve the riddles three, and the relic shall be yours. After overcoming the challenges, they obtain the second relic, a glowing orb that restores a fraction of the lost magic. EXT. DRAGON'S PEAK - SUNSET Facing their biggest challenge yet, the trio confronts a guardian dragon, who holds the final relic. FINN We must convince the dragon that our cause is just. ARIA uses her newfound wisdom to communicate with the dragon and persuade it to join their quest. DRAGON (roaring) Together, we shall defeat Malik and restore the magic to this land. They retrieve the third relic, a magical staff, and return to the desolate kingdom. INT. MAGIC KINGDOM - NIGHT ARIA, FINN, TWINKLE, and the dragon confront MALIK, who is ready to cast a spell to solidify his dark reign. ARIA (holding the relics) You can't extinguish the magic within us. We are bound by the enchantment that unites our hearts. The relics glow with a brilliant light, overpowering MALIK's dark magic. The kingdom is restored to its former glory. MALIK (furious) This isn't over! MALIK disappears into the shadows, defeated but vowing revenge. EXT. MAGIC KINGDOM - DAY The kingdom is alive with magic, joy, and laughter. ARIA, now wiser and more compassionate, addresses her people. ARIA Our journey taught us that true magic lies in friendship, courage, and the love that connects us all. The kingdom celebrates with a grand carnival, where ARIA, FINN, TWINKLE, and the dragon dance together, surrounded by the enchanting echoes of their adventure. FADE OUT.

True lmao

this isn't even an exaggeration 😭

It genuinely can, since it fundamentally follows proven structures that work! Unlike this movie which decided to be, something

When bitch said “just keep wishing” at the end that was the nail in the coffin for embracing the AI allegations

It really feels like at some point they were like "Shit this guy actually makes sense uhhhhhhh... Evil green magic possession, that'll fix it!!!"

Asha should have been the villain protagonist. That would've been unique for Disney.

The movie tells us he is deceiving the people but literally everyone knows he only grants one wish a month, so of course the majority of wishes never get granted. They also get to witness what sorts of wishes get granted. People are living comfortably in the kingdom of their own free will. This whole setup is screaming for Asha to grant a bunch of wishes and then everything goes wrong because he was right, some wishes contradict each other, some are dangerous, magic solutions don't exist for every complicated problem. It is begging for her to learn that the king was right, it's begging for there to be a moral about working to accomplish your dreams on your own instead of depending on someone else to grant your wishes. I swear it's begging for any story except for the one they told.

This!!! And the fact that King Magnifico said that they give him their wishes WILLINGLY. Meaning you don't even have to if you don't want to and can continue being happy living for free on HIS island!! I agree with the other replies here saying that if he FORCED them to give up their wishes then that would make more sense. Maybe show the people of Rosas being absolutely depressed after doing so too, showing how miserable the Kingdom really is.

Even she realises that making everyone a princess (giving them power to accomplish their wishes effortlessly) is extremely dumb and naive. It's much more extreme tbf, but thematically in similar vein.

Especially with how evil the sultan (ruler of the magic kingdom) and stupid all the townsfolk are being on par with this movies townsfolk

​@@argo9750 **SPOILERS and RANT** Actually, the princess becomes sultan and does, in fact, make everyone in the kingdom a princess (including her slaves, the captain/princess, and monkey). But that's to show how Jafar's teachings really did get through to her. It wasn't to make all the people's delusions come true like Aisha intends to. When everyone's a princess, there are no second or third-class citizens. Everyone is forced to respect one another. The princess is educated but severely lacks wisdom, however her heart's in a good place and that's enough. It actually ends on a powerful lesson that, I think(?), Wish was trying to emulate despite failing miserably at it. Despite her novel ideas, and because they seemed so silly to him, Jafar never trusted that the princess could handle the world until the very end when he realized he was just too old and tired to see she was perfectly capable. Even then, he didn't see the beauty in making everyone a princess until Scheherazade showed it to him. Aisha winning is like watching an alternate ending to Twisted in which Aladdin keeps the lamp.

they do know but I bet they snuff out the voices in the board saying hey maybe we should so something different and they were turned down for want to stick to what they've done in the past (at a superficial) or whats popular

Exactly! The entire theme feels so elementary when other movies have tackled similar themes and done it infinitely better. Like Wreck-It Ralph is so good because it's all about heroes and villains and what makes them, but also how using labels like that can often oversimplify characters. Wish lacks any nuance, and it doesn't dive deeper into its themes at all. Overall, a lackluster and disappointing film. :/

If I'm trying to be objective I think the music isn't the problem, at least not compositionally. Those lyrics however are some of the worst I've ever had the displeasure of experiencing.

Like wtf is "yes I are" supposed to mean? Im not even a native english speaker and even I can tell that this makes no sense

@@shun9191 Yeah.... It hurt me too when I heard that line. Like..... could they really not think of a good rhyme for 'I am a star'? There are tons of things that could have fit much better! "I'm raising the bar" "Breaking out the jar." "Going so far." "More than a memoir" These are all things I thought up of in less time than it takes to watch this video. But no, we have 'Yes I are."

​@@shun9191it's to be quirky I guess

Dora the explorer as well.

We all remember the whistle episode. Much development

@@lonelyforgy8914Peppa hanging up the phone on Suzy has more emotion than the entirety of this movie.

So does Bluey

😭

It's my favorite Disney Ripoff. It was so good that Disney bought the rights to it

But it gives us closure at the same time because we now know just what kind of company Disney truly is. It's their way of unapologetically telling us front and f*cking center: "Yeah. We're evil. And we enjoy it. What the hell are you going to do about it?"

It Really Says A Lot When Hazbin Hotel Has BETTER Music Than Disney's 100th Anniversary Movie.

​@@nevaehhamilton3493I'm pretty sure you've loved their movies before, and never thought of them like that-

@@dragondrawz8313 that's because I was an idiot. And to an extent, I still am. Children are woefully inept when it comes to handling the world's harsh realities. And our parents tried their best to protect us from it, knowing damn well it'll never be good enough.

@@nevaehhamilton3493 while I understand the flaws with Disney, we should try to encourage the to do, and be better. It's pretty weird that I never really see this much hate with other studios that have done many wrong things- it seems to always be targeted towards Disney specifically

They somehow had to make it rhyme💀

Apparently someone's never watched a Gilbert & Sullivan opera.

From what I've heard, The Emperors New Groove's production was so chaotic that it left very little room for corporate and executive meddling. Some of the original concepts for this movie were interesting and could have elevated this movie from bad to passable.

Or just make that guy a princess instead of a king dude. Ta'da!

Brilliant idea, mate. 👏

This isn't a bad idea, TBH. If they wanted to be original, they could've used their OG idea of the King Magnifico/Queen Amaya villain couple and Princess Asha/Starboy. It could've been compelling, Asha would ACTUALLY count as a princess, and everything would make 10× more sense. I honestly WISH this movie was remade, because it's OG and fan concepts deserve a full movie over what we got. 😞

So a better movie in your eyes... Is just rehashing an old one? I think we've found the personal biases.

Mr. “THAT WAS HIS MISTAKE” may not be the best villain, and a pretty weak twist villain, but his motivations (kinda) make WAY more sense than Magnifico’s. Also, he was one of the characters that appeared in the credits. Why him instead of baymax?? 💀

ThAt WaS hIs MiStAkE!!!

That's saying something

And Big Hero 6 was a movie that I think the internet liked a lot

That was his steak!

I felt the same

that lie lie lie made me wanna barf i love imagine dragons and confidence serious songs THEY JUST RUINED IT AGHHH

It made me feel like I was listening to a crappy Taylor Swift knockoff, with even less talent.

No, they can’t do that, remember? Because they gave her a lesbian love interest who didn’t do anything the whole movie except look into her eyes and say she liked the same story as her. 😂

@@crazygamer_1082LMAOOO this comment! On point.

I remember seeing someone say that giving Anna fire powers would be a cool contrast to Elsa's ice, and if they're gonna give someone fire powers, it might as well be Anna. That said, I think the fire spirit salamander already fills that role. I have no clue what Frozen 3 is gonna look like and I'm honestly scared for it... 😅

Drawing in general isn’t a talent, being great at drawing for the first time, that’s a talent

@@jareththegoblinking3191 I’d actually argue the opposite. You don’t have to be good at something immediately for it to be considered a talent.

​​@@Sumopian I think it comes to inclination. Someone who might not be good at drawing yet but has a better understanding at how the basics of illustrations work than most people would be a talented person, and it would improve with time and practice.

Easy, she has a microphone built into her

Not only boring, but not a villain. He's selfish and a narcissist yeah, but that comes at a cost of being a king. You gotta make decisions that can benefit you but mostly your kingdom.

"Mmmmmmmmmm." "I hate your whimper!"

@@ggrarl MmmmMMMMmmmm

"MMMmmmmmMmmm!!"

This is gonna be a weird take but he’s also not too different from Light Yagami in Death Note. Light, at first, has good intentions and claims to want to make a better world, but soon it becomes clear he is corrupt and wants to become a god.

10:35 Turn it off, bro. Turn it off.

Puss In Boots did it better.

every disney reference except the hallmark emotional musical theatre soundtrack

The sad part is that the Chip & Dale: Rescue Rangers movie does the references better too. 😭 The only references I really enjoyed in Wish were in the end credits where they went through their animation character line-up in order of their movie releases, and that's largely irrelevant to the movie plot as a whole. And I heard Once Upon a Studio does the inclusion of past characters thing better also...

Nah, Sophia the first was better than this movie

​@@TheShadow1347FR😭😭

Except Sofia The First is WORLDS better. Better morals, a better story, and amazing villains. Better character development too!

REALLY need to start watching that Cant believe I said that about DisneyJunior

That’s an insult to Sofia the first

So happy for ur mama! Hope she heals well, This channel always does make me laugh when I’m feeling down ❤

The movie’s really trying to have it both ways, like the woman who wanted to fly starts working on a machine with a guy who looks like Peter Pan, but yeah, Asha gets a wand because…?

They should've added Bill Cipher he'd probably break the 4th wall because of how bad the movie is. He'd probably say something like "This is insufferable! You people need a proper overlord, not some fancy guy in a costume!"

@@mythicalmonsterman1651 Yeah, but seriously... Star should have been replaced by a REAL villain. An evil entity that comes down and sweet-talks Asha into making some kind of deal or pact (kinda like Ursula or Facilier). Asha unwittingly wreaks havoc and chaos on Rosas. They could even tie it into Magnifico's backstory by revealing that it was a similar entity that inspired those bandits to burn down his old home.

@DarknessIsTheTruth Exactly! That's actually a really good idea! Especially since they didn't really elaborate on his past. They could've done something where the entity takes control of her and starts to become a threat to the wishes, Magnifico tries to stop her but fails. Then her grandfather starts singing, which inspires everyone including Magnifico, who casts out the entity for good. Maybe the entity came into being because Asha made a dangerous wish, one that she thought would be good and helpful but actually came from unknown selfishness (she cares too much, so maybe she wishes on a star to grant everyone's wish, which ends up conjuring the entity). Disney we just did your job for you

@@mythicalmonsterman1651 I'd like to share a few ideas that some other people came up with on another video somewhere. 1) With all the wishes of the people of Rosas granted at once, all sorts of mayhem spreads... one example being several dozen men and women in the castle all arguing and fighting over crowns. Everyone one of them had wished to be the ruler of Rosas, so now they ALL are. 2) At one point, Magnifico is at his lowest point of despair, and Asha finally sees HIS wish: to make the people happy. The trauma of losing his old home had always haunted him. Maybe we even see moments in his past where he DID try granting every wish... only to quickly find out what havoc it brings. And that's why he's so careful with every wish granted.

@DarknessIsTheTruth Those are really good points/ideas. What if everyone who wished to be the ruler of Rosas had a different viewpoint on how things should operate, either a small difference or a drastic difference? Would the monarchy become something like a congress? I do think that they should've shown Magnifico's past more. Not only would it give him more depth, but it would probably make his motive a lot easier to understand where he was coming from. Also, what if someone wished for something for something that was either implicitly (seemed fine, but would make things worse in the long run) or explicitly harmful? Magnifico probably saw a wish like that and chose not to grant it for a reason, but the end of the movie would grant that wish anyway. I think if they still used the forbidden book, they should've made it where you can see how much Magnifico doesn't want to use it, but knows deep down that it's the only way to protect Rosas. Instead making him all out evil like "Oh this was always his truest intentions to be selfish" I would've like to see signs that the magic from the book was controlling him and making him do things against his will, and that in the end he is forgiven like Simon (I think that's his name). Even without the book, the writers could've shown so much about his mental health (even if it's just subtly), like going more in depth into the reason(s) why he used the forbidden magic, probably because he's afraid and insecure that he can't save and protect everyone because of the trauma from what happened to his village. Either way, Asha's done more harm than good compared to Magnifico, and you don't really need a Film Theory to see that

Job interviews be like

@@ChocoDoeEyes lmao🤣

@@ChocoDoeEyes he's not wrong

It could've been interesting if they showed us how she cares too much, what makes her care too much, what she cares too much about, why she cares too much, etc. and how that affects her as a character, maybe we see her learn that it's okay to take care of herself, not spread herself thin and not be a doormat for others to walk all over and take advantage of. But I guess developing their characters is too much to ask of Disney these days.

Same

It’s nice they have access to films like Nimona and Wolfwalkers tho.

It's said that when a person gives their wish, they forget about the wish they made

@@hannahguilding1338 They forgot what wish they made, but they remember that they gave up a wish

they all can only form one thought per month too

Honestly, I don’t really see much Spanish or Iberian influences in this movie. The town looks like it can be any old generic European location, which I know is a part of Europe but they do have their own flair. Puss in Boots incorporated Spanish elements into the character and setting, such as a mariachi sound, a saber and dagger, Spanish language, bright colors, etc. It wouldn't take much to add such things into Rosas and give it an identity like what Tangle and Frozen had for their castles and village.

@@jendoe9436 Its a shame too! It is to my understanding that they were attempting to go for an Iberian Peninsular style region. If I'm not mistaken, Asha is supposed to be mixed, half Berber. An ethnic group originating from North Africa, but have a history and presence in the Iberian Peninsula, similar to the Moors. This is a legitimately unique setting for a call back to the classic, and a few modern, Disney films that explored all the other regions of Europe. But it just feels like "Generic Euro Fantasy" with a Spanish name. They could've made the natural environments and townscapes warmer tones, made the character's outfits a little more loose relaxed for a warm coastal/Mediterranean region, literally anything! The thing is, I actually like the concept of this movie, the protagonist, setting concept, the conflict, it's all wonderful and unique. But "unique" needs to be executed properly. Instead we got hideously written pop songs and an embarrassment to Walt's legacy.

​​@@jendoe9436 They had a vaguely Spanish-sounding instrumentation for "Welcome to Rosas", but then forgot about that for the rest of the movie, for the rest of the songs.

Haha I see what you did there so true!

Same

As long as it’s not against Da rules. I’ll see myself out. 😆😅

​@@FeligamiAdrizoeSworaDennisTRF You know, I read them in the Fairly Oddparents wiki a few hours ago and none of them mentioned anything about erasing from people's memory and/or out of existence a literary, musical, artistic, audiovisual production. So that means, it can be possible.

Your wish has been granted 😂

Or wonderwoman 1984 "I wish you were dead, I wish all the Irish were deported." Which incidentally they still would have been since the person who wished for that was the one who died so they can't take that wish back.

It baffles me they could set out explicit rules for wishmaking in Aladdin and then just ignore the moral quandary of wishes in a film ENTIRELY CENTERED ON IT when the direct actions and consequences of wishes was already illustrated by a film THEY REMADE IN RECENT YEARS USING THE SAME EXACT LOGIC THE ORIGINAL FILM USED. And if they wanna ignore Aladdin, Princess and the Frog also talks about wishes and dreams. Or if they continue pretending their last 2D animated film doesn't exist, there's a pretty good list of films (Moana, Meet the Robinsons, Bolt, Tangled, Cars, etc) that have some sort of character conflict of realizing what you WANT versus what you NEED which, y’know, is a pretty big factor in wishes. But nahhhh we'll ignore all the films we reference and their messages for "if you wish hard enough it'll come true!" Thanks Disney!

Great movie.

Not even Children would enjoy this

The villain of the Wish movie is the best thing about the movie

I see what you’re saying but that’s not entirely true. If children like a movie, then it’s a good children’s movie

​@@TheShadow1347FINALLY... At least I found somebody who actually likes King Magnifico! 😌

​@@emojilegend7617 They never said that. They just said he was the best part of the movie, this very mid, forgettable, below-average movie, so still not all that good likely.

Right 🤣

I swear, you could probably read an r/entitledpeople post that's just about that.

YES OMG I thought I was hearing things

im dying

Klaus actually wasn't a CG hybrid film! They just used frankly insane lighting techniques and special effects to make it look that way, it's a 2D film. The team behind it mentioned that they were trying to predict what 2D films might look like now if 2D never fell out of fashion.

I personally would've liked something along the lines of breadwinner.

2.5D Might have been really cool for Wish, actually. A nice nod to Disney's older movies but the new era too.

Honestly, a movie adaptation of that Mickey game (where he meets forgotten Disney characters, like Clarabella or even Oswald) would have been a way better movie to celebrate Disney's 100th year.

@@0atmeal__ What game was that?
