Why Disney's "Wish" Flopped 

Lmao 💀

This woulve been SICK! And made SO much more sense!!

@@AmandaRiannClark can you imagine how fun it would be if we got an evil version of Gomez and Morticia Addams? We could have gotten a villain song as a duet.

Oh man, I wish I had seen that!! As I was re-watching, I was like, this would be AMAZING as a lullaby, too!!! Even Asha to her Saba like how did they whiff this movie so HARD??

Ooo I’ll have to check these out!!

Not to mention they coded him as the lead by literally STARTING with his narrative? We’re led to believe that THIS is our main, sympathetic character, and the most reasonable one. D- execution to say the list

@@AmandaRiannClark Modern Disney movies rely too much on twist villains. The great thing about the villains in older Disney movies is that they weren't shy when showing why the villains are the villains. We knew Scar was evil by how he carried himself and by how he treated Simba. Ursula was upfront about her motivations: she wanted to rule Atlantica. Frollo was shown to be evil from the beginning, with one of the GREATEST scores and songs in the history of Disney. Jafar just looked like a bad dude. No way anyone is ever going to look at these villains and question if they're actually the hero. Also, how much did you hate the fact they brought back the 'lime green sfx = villain' trope again?

I have a question. Disney often gets criticized for queer coded villains, so how do they course correct while still creating a compelling character?

@@ThePrincessCH I don’t understand the question. I never really noticed any of the villains being queer-coded. I just looked at them as the villain, and never really saw them as walking stereotypes of the LGBT community. I think it’s great that even if they’re villains, LGBT+ people have someone they can feel represented by, even if they’re not initially meant to be part of the community. In terms of course correction, maybe they could make a more ambiguous villain. One that’s not a walking stereotype of the gay community and one that’s not too masculine. Just a villain that’s somewhere in the middle. I think Disney nowadays is overcompensating for their past mistakes and making the male villains too stereotypically male. Gaston was a perfect example of this, but it was comical at that time. Too much testosterone, thinks that women should bow at his feet, loves hurting things smaller than him. I think Disney could die down on the extremes on both ends and just find a perfect balance between the two. Maybe make the character just queer enough to make people think if they’re gay, but have them also slightly straight. That way there’s no extremes and everyone whether straight or part of the queer community can feel seen.

​@@alisonmicahtillery3814 Ursula is a great example of queer-coding. Her look was inspired by a drag queen called Divine.

I heard after George Floyd they fired all the White male writers. This is the price of abandoning meritocracy.

Ooo this would’ve been SO good; you’re so right they whiffed it on both sides

🥲

“Is he singing a love song to the wishes.” Me:uhh………yeah…...I think originally it was for Asha and the Starboy, but then they decided to scrap him into star but kept the song, but yeah, good point, he does have a wife 😂

Oo, what’s the “renaissance formula”?

Having an evil villain, love relationship, no quirky personnality, no generic storyline that've seen before and brodway musical.

literally. Dangit 🫠 good catch

Right?? They’re SO unsettling 🤣 I think it’s the muddled art & the interior of their mouths, it’s just something kind of lovecraftian horror about them 😅😭 and it’s like, “actually, lyrics, no, I DID see the mushrooms, and I do NOT understand.” 🤣🤣

yeah, which is a third of Moana’s, a fourth of Coco’s, and not even close to Frozen 2’s $1.2 b i l l i o n. Great for a movie, yes, a flop for an animated kids film.

Ooo I must’ve missed this one! Who was Lori and John Winchester?

I said I wanted that, and :) But, why, "mom" why can't I have it? What's wrong with it, mama??? um? Why not, evil queen demonic possession

OK, so the caution thing. It comes from throwing caution to the "wind" whatever that is. So meaning, not giving a f, ultimately. This line teaches my kids to be careful, by throwing it in the warn, or to the warning sign. As in minding the mf GAP, as the Londoners say or hear. So you really need to use your imagination a little bit, because throwing caution to the wind is meta, but to! every warning sign, means my little kids ain't you, or OLD AMERICAN culture, cause I can't mf stand that, ok?

And this NEW! disney, old disney a legacy. We talking care CURRENT mf customers, sorry that Disney has had a bad rap, obviously, but what you describe is just cultural innovation, and if you don't like it, then don't mf by it, ok? Keep talking, I mean, I'm having a convo with your tape, like you mine, happy?

Right, calm whatever, make sense tho, I hear you. So, how do we make the movie "make sense" as you put it, um? Do we grant your wishes? And what are they? Cause my wish was to get my movie made, have any of those? Any Ideas? Or is your wish for the KING to write in full for you, in case VAGUENESS is not a familiar word? Ain't no wishing child, THINK on what your can accomplish in the current META, ok, disney old, I made sure to explain that to them. And it's very disheartening when social views change on cute "wholesome" movies, meant to inspire the younger generation. Cause the call for more evil king and queen was just a jabate. That was in no way related to point the movie was trying to make. Like Rosas is still Rosas one monarch down. Get it?

To inspire people? Oh, to be an influencer, like you, to hate Disney, don't you feel like that sometimes? Am I getting too therapist for you? Or maybe more colloquial have you taken your meds? What else the kids say these days? IDK, not that important, what is sure is the American experience walking around. If you don't like something, you don't use words for example that are respectful, it's like a freedom of speech war every time with you, ending in calling the police or something. This is about being a b and calling the cops on somebody, so what the f did Disney do, mf confuse you? As far as I can tell, the subject matter is mf confusing: wish: feel or express a strong desire or hope for something that is not easily attainable; want something that cannot or probably will not happen. So, judging my the meaning of the title, we can state the DIFFICULTY of what the King was expected to do. As in give you what YOU want, dear AUDIENCE, anybody caught that, I'm 100 I can make fun of you, you think I'm just a dead... um near dead excuse to get karma points, please. Stop beating Disney into Extinction because confused, ok? Making sense, no? Let me enlighten you with some logic that you "might" sense. Cause let's start you have no mf clue what a wish is to begin with.

"Once you see mushrooms then you'll understand". THEY ARENT EVEN HIDING IT

UGH yes I forgot how much it bothered me that we never found out the Mom’s wish 🫠 a series would’ve been sweet, I think!

Aw shucks, thanks! Chalk it up to me bein a former theater kid + Disney Princess wannabe 🥲
