As a black woman, I disagree that diversity is acceptable in all movies about fantasy. I don’t want to see current day Manhattan when I’m watching a fantasy film. I’m not saying people of color should never be added but it should be believable and make sense. Groups just aren’t mixed like this anywhere in the world. I don’t mean in the streets like in NYC, I mean friend groups and who people tend to hang out with. I have mostly white friends but this is not the case for the majority of my black relatives. And that’s not a bad or racist thing…people just tend to hang with those who share the same or similar cultures. People also tend to date or marry people who look like their parents race-wise. If you go to a predominately white school, you’ll know that there is always a “black table.” There will still be many black teens like me sitting among mixed groups but the black table is always there. Not due to segregation or racism but because they choose to hang with one another. This is a thing and I’m sick of pretending that it’s not and that we all live in harmony. I don’t always disagree with diversity when it is used creatively however. For instance, I love House of the Dragon. The show creators made the Valeryons black but they only did this because there are so many silver-haired white characters on the show, and it makes it easier to distinguish between the Valeryons and the Targaryens. It makes the transition from book to screen smoother. I cringe when I watch shows like Rings of Power and The Witcher who just place black people everywhere with no care or thought put into it. It also takes me out of the story because instead of thinking of the plot, I start to wonder how this population came to be and why everyone isn’t mixed if race isn’t a factor in this world. Shouldn’t middle earth look more like the Dominic Republic? It is just so damn distracting! Hollywood, I beg you, PLEASE STOP DOING THIS.
What...? You're telling me a world can have giant spiders, ogres, beasts and literal freaking Magic but black people is what "throws you off" Are you kidding me? You're just acting like Sambo over this. A little too much like him. Especially with your "no don't mix the races" garbage
Agreed, and instead of shoehorning diversity into everything why not encourage people to identify with any character regardless of how they look? As a white kid I loved the comics about Yakari the native American and I had no problem whatsoever identifying with him. Today children are taught they can only identify themselves with characters that looks like themselves which is a terrible lesson. Moreover they learn that stories that don't have a diverse cast, like Yakari, are inherently bad (even though non-diversity is usually okay as long as it's not white). Instead I viewed Yakari as an opportunity to experience something I would never otherwise be able to, the adventures of a native American boy in a time and place far away.
So queen is cool with her husband hanging out with a younger girl, and wouldn't the kings child be the succesor for the wish power thing? Why teach some commoner your powers? Sounds like another winner
IWhy would the queen be jealous of the kind working with a younger woman? Wouldn't most women be OK with their husband having female co workers? I would, it's much worse. The queen is fine with Asha trapping the king and leaving him stuck forever. After going along with what he did for many years, she is fine with her husband being out in jail forever without committing any crime.
I think they did the wrong thing by making Magnifico a traditional villain because of one thing; that being that he has a wife. No disney villain has ever been married or had a marriage when the story begins, by giving Magnifico a wife it provides the uncomfortable situation that it means shes going to see the veil lifted, have her heart broken, and witness the death of someone she cared for deeply. This is the worst choice they could have made in regards to a villain, he should either have been husband to a dead wife, or unmarried.
Saying that....yeah, you have a point. In 101 Dalmatians, in the original book Cruella WAS married and her husband was the one who skinned the animals for to keep her happy. In the Disney version, she's single and there's no talk if she's a widower. Evil couples wouldn't be an issue but it's weird I just noticed this pattern.
Apparently the wife was supposed to be a villain along with her husband, but they scrapped that idea. I think having an evil power couple would have been far more interesting.
@@blueflare3848A villainous power couple would have blown the roof off of Twitter. Disney adults would have adored the couple and dressed up as them for Halloween. Couples would be making TikToks of their villain song. Disney dropped the ball seriously on that one.
About 10:00 - The issue here with the diversity in that picture is that it doesn't make sense for what they were attempting to do. The story is supposed to be based on Spain and the Spanish culture in medieval times. You don't have Spanish looking people here including the MC, and not even Mediterranean looking people. It's not Spanish despite the cultural appropriation in this movie. This is an LA modern crowd, not a crowd you would think is Spanish in any way, shape or form. There's also an issue with their various costumes that are all over the place from a period and setting perspective. That's aside from the story and the characters.
Don’t tell me you’re one of those who think of Mexicans when referring to Spanish people… The queen’s accent was that of a Latino country, perhaps Colombia, and I think she was well represented cause I thought of it even before I heard her speak Spanish.
@@AngelicaEstherxosince when Colombia = Spain lol please, as a Mexican and Latin American, don't insult us with such comparisons. Also, yes, I don't like the weird "We totally speak Spanish but won't go the extra mile for Spain" vibe this gives off.
This not Walt's milestone. But, this is completely Robby's milestone. Congratuatlions Robby Iger, my boy! You have encapsulated a film that captures all that is emblematic of YOUR Disney.

Just watched Klaus, and Alan's comments about framing shots were really exemplified in that animation. The scenes are so creative and dramatic because of those expertise. Very interesting!
Klaus is absolutely wonderful. The fact that it didn’t get the Oscar and Disney got another one by default for the abomination that is Toy Story 4 is a travesty.
The entirety of Oscar's Best Animated Feature Award should be rename to "What crime against Animation will Disney commit this year" Award. Klaus, Kubo and the Two String, The Tale of Princess Kaguya, the list go on. all rightfully deserved winner, all snuffed by that year's Disney movie.
I don't think it's an anti-Marxist story; I think it's an anti-religion story. The ruler has the power to do miracles, but he only dispenses it capriciously. He requires his subjects to be docile and obedient, and in return he'll keep them safe. He poses as a benevolent monarch but he's a temperamental dictator who reacts with rage when he's opposed. And just to rub it in, they dress him in a Roman Catholic cope as he stands before an altar-like table.
"Arcane" and the Spiderverse movies have exciting and innovative visuals. In comparison "Wish" looks dated and bland. And the character animation reminds me of every Disney character I have seen before.
According to the racists in the comments, this movie is woke and political because it has an original POC character in it so by your logic, those also suck
So my only disagreement is he said Disney fell on hard times. Disney has jumped onto hard times and since they started jumping on hard times they have since gotten a pogo stick.
Well, they were once about to call bankruptcy and then in the 80's they were saved by "The little Mermaid". Maybe Disney needs to face more obstacles until they finally get their next breakthrough, or it will simply vanish. Let's see what happens.
@@suzygirl1843 The problem is less with the race swaps and more to do with the people doing the race swapped versions of movies being dumb and thinking "lol, we know better than those white people did back in the 90s and 2000s." Not sure when having heroes fail at some of their tasks became "old school" and "problematic" or whatever but evidently modern day writers think failure is "for racists" or something.
CalArts student here. graduated 2004. Worked for Disney right out of school. I agree with all of this. This film should have been traditionally animated and yikes, I would describe the side characters as NPCs. That being said, I enjoyed Magnifico and Asha’s songs 🤷♀️
From what I understand from other reviewers is that - The king basically in his right to choose which wishes to grant and which ones to keep after he done so much to build up *his* kingdom and do what it takes to protect it even if it means not everyonr gets their wish granted. For a 'villain' he's actually in the right which means he isn't a true villain at all. He's someone we can relate to knowing that not all wishes are good. Self proclaim 'heroine' wants to free wishes cuz she believes everyone deserves to have their wish granted, but doesn't realize a hidden danger to wish granted. The saying 'Be careful with what you wish for, you may just get it' has truth, but she doesn't learn nor realize that cuz she has no flaws and does not grow as a character. The way I see it, this makes her villain. But we can't have that in a Disney movie. No, no, no. Man bad, women good, agenda they keep pushing on everyone. If they really wanted the king to be the villain, they could have at least have some sort of true motive behind taking people's wishes. Something like... dark magic or whatever.
When I was a kid I had Disney Animation Studio for MS-DOS and it came with a book all about traditional animation techniques (onion skin, squash & stretch, etc) and it inspired me so much that almost 40 years later it's part of my job. It was sad to see the end of 2D animation by CGI and it's even sadder to watch the standards keep lowering. 100 years was a good run, but it's just amazing that the company that invented the feature length animation is now shuttering legendary studios originally created by other people.
I’ve written a story, as yet not publishing, where the hero falls in love with a perfect woman. Halfway through writing, I realized that she was the one driving the plot, therefore, she was the hero. And now she could no longer be perfect; she had to have flaws. Now she’s impatient, a perfectionist, lacks empathy, and is a budding alcoholic. She has room for character growth.
Thank you for understanding. Anyone who has written a story that they care about and wants to be memorable has the hero with flaws like real life. Love your example.@@denvan3143
@@OwenYoung-yv1vc Except within the context of the movie, these people cannot try because the essence of their dreams or wishes is stolen from them. That's the problem. No one should be granting wishes, but no one should be removing the ambition of them, either.
In Tomorrowland the villain died by being stationary and the "castle" fell down on him. I say that because I know I'm the only person who stayed until the end of that flick and actually witnessed it.
I want to explore the anti-Marxist claim, and say why I think this might be the most Marxist movie I have heard of. This is all based on the synopsis, as I haven’t seen the movie. Most of us believe we have to sacrifice our wildest dreams for the betterment of society. We can’t all be rockstars and poets. We have to give up our dreams to earn our place in society. If everyone selfishly followed their dreams, society would crumble. Some people get their wildest dreams, but most don’t. Most of us spend most of our day doing things that aren’t our lifelong dream. This is what most of us believe today. This movie is a critique of that thinking. That you have to give up doing what you want most for the good of society. Everyone should get to do their most favorite things, without concern for how it benefits themselves or society. If you have a wish, then you should get to live it. And the world should shape itself to support you while you do your favorite thing, even if it has no value to anyone else. This is the Marxist promise. The lie. The idea that society will let you do whatever you want. It’s the greatest lie ever told. And this movie is extreme propaganda. That’s my initial take.
It would have been lovely to have a traditional animation style movie to mark the centenary. Something beautiful and classic like that would have really stood out.
No doubt someone is about to make the case that this being a kids movie means it "wasn't made for you", as if we need to wait for the 10 and under audience to post their reviews online first. Parents. Please, pay them no mind and just raise your kids. (edit) To be clear, there's no such thing as content that is made for kids, especially if you take parenting seriously.
@@suzygirl1843 very well. I'll grant the validity of your argument by suggesting that you petition the audience for whom you say this film was made to go and see it. Let them "vote with their wallets".
@@suzygirl1843 Lot's of Disney movies were made for kids, that adults still enjoy. As a 47 year old man I still enjoy The Great Mouse Detective or The Lion King or Meet the Robinsons. Great entertainment goes beyond "perceived" audience. "Children are too important to be left to shitty media"- The Little Platoon
When I was a kid, Disney films were family friends 'for kids of all ages' even grandma. My first inkling that something was seriously wrong with The House of Mouse was when I saw a 'Saturday Morning' style Disney cartoon on TV and it featured snot and toilet "humor". I've been giving anything Disney a wary eye ever since and glad of it since I haven't accidentally paid for any of the woke crap.
Well artists didn't play any part in it. It is was animated by Chinese labor farms that care as much about art as they do about snapping together circuit boards.
So sad. When I read (and sang) for the development sessions on this film a year ago, this was to have been an origin story for the song "When You Wish Upon A Star". The wise old man who extemporized the song (to the accompaniment of a lute, no less) was to have been voiced by Kelsey Grammer. This makes me so sad.
The real-life story of that song and the unlikely-sounding but actual backgrounds of its composer and lyricist are fascinating. A slightly fictionalized account of what actually happened would have been great. Wikipedia articles on the song and the men give a fair amount of detail.
From what I’m hearing is that there isn’t anything showing how fulfilling all wishes can be a bad thing. I get how the main character would want to grant all wishes, but at the same time they’re not thinking how one wish could be bad and could go wrong or at least shows how one wish went wrong and the main character could be like “oh I understand now. Granting all wishes can be bad” like learning a lesson or something.

@@Eidolon1andOnly lol I’m just glad my comment made sense. I get it the they’re, their, there mistake is annoying, especially when you’re the one making it. 🤗 I didn’t realize Film Threat comments were corrected
Wow. You just explained the 'heroine' as a Biden Administration handing out goodies to everyone regardless of the consequences while also making sure the borders are wide open.
Wonder Woman 84 manages to at times achieve "so bad it's funny" levels of terrible, and even that movie still understood that not every wish is something that should be granted. _DisnESG's Wish_ was just written by a bunch of commies who think unlimited resources are being withheld from them by a ruling class.
I believe that the villain falling to his/her death trope was to give them a moment to reflect on their life choices while they careen through the atmosphere and think maybe evil wasn't the way to go. That and the whole allegorical descending into hell to be punished for their sins...
Also the simple fact that, at least for Disney movies, they're targeted at children. Having a villain fall to their death is a convenient way to kill them off without having to show murder or a dead body.
From the still shots of the trailer you were showing us, my take away is despite using a good mix of colors in the characters clothing and backgrounds it all looks like a dull filter has been used over everything or it's all taking place in a dimly lit room. It is not vibrant, doesn't pop or stand out.
Completely agree. Watch the trailer if you haven't already. All the colors seem muted or washed out, even in the most colorful scenes. The movements are also very reminiscent of the "Spiderverse" style and seem a bit out of place for a Disney film. My takeaway from the official trailer is that it looks and sounds (musically) like a worse version of Frozen as most of the color pallette being blues and cool colors are the same, and the song sounds like a bad attempt at trying to recapture the lightning in a bottle that was Frozen's "Let it Go."
What I really felt was missing was any taste for the ethnicity of the people in Rosas. I was under the impression that this story takes place on the Iberian Peninsula, where people speak various Spanish languages. None of the characters in Wish sound anything other than middle class white folk. Kind of disappointing to not have that depth and color of the people who inhabit this land.
You know it’s funny, the people who never shut up about amplifying “other voices” and “representing other cultures and people” never represent anything that isn’t their urban, college campus esque lives.
It's kind of sad that the best tribute to 100 years of animated filmmaking came from Sony and not the company that pioneered the industry in the first place.
It’s Walt taking revenge from beyond the grave. I guarantee if John Lassiter was still in the company, the 100th year movie would be much better.

Alan:"It just feels bland." Well that is because it is. Bland. Instead of hiding the agenda in the art there is the trading of the agenda with the art. Bean counting traded for box ticking.
Why, in this movie and in the abyssal Wonder Woman 84, is it assumed that a wish is always a good thing? There must be wishes which are terrible, like the ending of the world or causing another person harm. And, if this king was able to keep his kingdom together in peace for a hundred years with the price tag of one wish per person, how is he a villain? The female protagonist sounds like the villain here, by bringing about the end of a stable existence for everyone.
We have here the odd case of a company not only failing to learn from their own history but actively working to make their own product worse by ignoring it.
Celebrating 100 timeless animated films (give or take a few) with a movie about modern day politics that have been relevant for less than 5 years (and if there's any justice, will be irrelevant in the same amount of time). I'm somehow shocked and not not the least bit surprised at the same time. Also: Robocop, I.J. The Last Crusade, Alien Vs Predator, and Halloween all have endings where the villain falls off something.
@@andreimcallister1365 You're dedicated to shilling the film in the comments endlessly, why don't you give us a rundown of all the "great" things about Wish, both technical and story. Earn your pay, outsourced online PR department.
I agree with Frank, the first thing that comes to mind when I see her friends is "diverse'. Like they made sure to have one of each ethnicity / race. It looks like a Bennetton ad for kids.
So it’s not just me. I saw the trailer the other day and thought the animation really sucked. The animation on those direct-to-video “Land Before Time” and “An American Tail” movies was better than this. Hell, the animation on the “Dragon’s Lair” video game was better than this.
To be fair, those are all Don Bluth productions, which at the time was the only worthwhile alternative to Disney. Don Bluth was trained at Disney and all his movies were passionate Labors of love.
@@ozzyfanatic666 The thing is that Don Bluth wasn't involved with the sequels to any of his own films, with the exception of Bartok The Magnificent. Everything else was done by a different director.
This is what happens after 20 years of people using Disney movies, most of which were nothing more than straightforward children’s tales, as religious ideology. The animated classics were intended to be well-told stories, not political messages or foundations for life.
I somewhat disagree with your last sentence. The Disney classics (up to the 90s) always had a secular moral lesson to be gleaned from them. That's part of what made the stories good and why they were well-told.
@@Eidolon1andOnly Agreed. I believe it's perfectly normal (and even expected) for children's stories to include allegories. These are general life lessons, like follow the golden rule or be humble/kind. Disney's allegories today have made a major shift. They are either politically charged, or espouse a certain belief that shames those who think otherwise. They are less "golden rules" and more "lectures", and I completely understand why that frustrates people.
If everyone gets their dream/wish, what if two wishes collides? Two guys/girls wants the same girl/boy? If someone wish to be insanely rich? How would the economy manage this?
All wish stories are inherently stupid, which is fine so long as your audience doesn't care about consistency and logic. For example, young children aren't going to be bothered by this, just as they aren't bothered by talking animals or elephants that can fly by flapping their ears.
Disney did a better working for your wish story with Princess and the Frog and Puss in Boots the Last Wish did a much better story about wishes and showing gratitude for what you have. Wish doesn’t even feel like a classic Disney movie at all, it oddly enough feels like a movie trying to mimic Disney through the most shallow of means.
Trailer didn't sold me on it. Some chick felt it wrong that those who get their wishes granted is chosen. Then she gets given powers, GIVEN, to beat the guy who worked his way to where he's at. And there's nothing wrong afterwards when everyone gets their wish. Nope. None.
This feels like me when I was younger and I struggled to draw hands. Anytime I drew a superhero, mortal kombat character, or any person I would position the character in a way that hid their hands because I wasn't good at drawing hands.
I disagree with Alan's assessment of this being an "anti-Marxist" film. It's actually more pro-Marxist than anything else. I doubt he realizes the true endgame of Marxism is that the "state" (central governing authority) through self-governance, where everyone is treated as equals with no class divisions and they all reap the benefits of their labor communally. His definition of sacrificing individual safeties in exchange for government protection isn't really a Marxist ideal, and not even inherently Marxist in nature.
I think the idea that if the government removes the hopes and dreams of its people in exchange for "safety" that's one of the underlying tenants of Marxism.

"Inexperienced" animators aren't the problem at Disney. Hayao Miyazaki recruited young, inexperienced animators all the time, but they are TALENTED artists with excellent imaginations, and a lot of great animators have graduated from Studio Ghibli. Disney's problem is that they don't give a damn about whether they are employing people with talent and imagination. If skin color trumps everything else, then of course their "product" is going to be sh!t.
Sorry, but you disproved your argument at the beginning: as you mentioned, it was Hayao Miyazaki who hired new talent! He himself is the experienced talent that gets to pick and train the new talent. So there is a lot of experience involved. Unlike Disney, Ghibli didn’t fire their experienced staff in order to replace them with inexperienced staff. Ghibli grew and added new people to a group of very experienced animators (something Disney used to do a long time ago). Based on what I heard, Disney got rid of most experienced animators (they love to fire anybody above 40 due to cost). But you’re absolutely right in your conclusion: they didn’t give a damn about talent and made their own bed by getting rid of all talent.
@@skodwardeSWF I also said that inexperienced animators who are hired essentially due to their SKIN COLOR, rather than their TALENT AND IMAGINATION is why they have a problem. Apparently, you are a young, inexperienced READER who has yet to get a grasp of COMPREHENSION.
@@davidgantenbein9362 I think it should be added that Miyazaki preferred inexperienced animators to those who had a lot of experience at other studios, and there's also the fact that he had huge turnovers between film projects, so he was essentially training new staff constantly. Besides that, he was writing/storyboarding, co-producing with Isao Takahata (who wrote and directed his own films at Studio Ghibli), and also drew manga on the side. It seems to me that a HUGE problem at Disney is that they aren't concerned about whether they hire according to merit and sheer ability, but rather getting as many "people of color" on staff as possible, the quality of their product be damned. And, if they're actually using directors who have no experience performing such duties, AND they're inexperienced in the field of animation, then yeah, you have to have at least SOME people there who've been around the block a few times in order to produce good animated movies. Also, people like Glen Keane, who had been at Disney when guys like Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas were still working there, left on their own accord because they saw the direction Disney films were headed, not because they were fired. They did so out of principle, not because they were told to leave. That leads to perhaps THE main problem at Disney, *if you want to boil it all down to one main problem there, it would be "woke politics" because every dimwitted decision that has been made at Disney is due to that.* Woke politics has led to their hiring mainly POSs with little regard for their talent and ability, their demand for feminist-focused subject matter, their swapping White characters for Black for no other reason than to virtue signal to a political constituent, and to send loud messages to the majority of their audience that they don't give a damn if they watch their films or not.

@FilmThreat King Magnifico just seems like a terribly "on the nose" name too. I cringed the first time I heard it. It'd be like naming Hans from Frozen as Prince Goldheart. You know, because as the villain he isn't that.
I saw a poster recently for a 100th Anniversary Disney Exhibition in London, and it single-handedly encapsulated _everything_ wrong with modern Disney in one perfect image: it had Elsa, BB-8, Captain America's shield, and the live-action Cinderella's shoe. Why is that wrong? Because everything there is less than five years old. No Snow White. No Bambi. No Lady and the Tramp. No Lion King. No Aladdin. etc. etc. And no Toy Story, for goodness sake! (in fact, no Pixar representation whatsoever, yet miserable Star Wars, and universally despised live-action remakes get a spot). These people don't _care_ about Walt Disney's history or legacy. They only care about their own (which is hilarious because they have none: all of their work will be rightly forgotten).
"Diversity" means that every society, real or imagined, from any place on Earth at any time period, must be made to look like downtown Los Angeles in 2023.
Mufasa died by falling when Scar tossed him back into the stampede. He was only king through the tyranny of strength, not the will of the governed. That makes him a villain.
Wait, does anybody *not* want people to stop killing each other, regardless of which country they're in? Unless you're a politician directly profiting from it, I thought we understood war is generally a bad thing.
There was a better movie with the same animation hybrid but done WAY beyond better looking than Wish. PaperMan (2012 short) had a very fresh look and new perspective into animation. For so long I hoped this style would again be implemented in a Disney Movie…..not like this 😞
@FilmThreat Aww thanks, means a lot coming from you guys 😊 At the very least mention how that short should be a golden standard on how that style could be pulled off.
So, if the king set up this system to protect the kingdom, and our girl takes the system down, isn't the kingdom in danger? This movie should end with the demon mountain from Fantasia showing up like Surter in Asgard
Gotta be honest here I'm siding with King Magnifico on this one. Think about this for a minute, she comes to him and says "I wanna be your apprentice." And he tells her "ok, but there is a limit to my powers. I can't allow everyone to have their wish." She throws a fit because she doesn't agree and goes off to figure out a way to defeat him. Why? Because she is an "activist" that is working for the people. I cannot understand the motive here. King Magnifico obviously has the restraint and knows fully that everything will go to shit if he grants everyone their wish. But no repercussions occur from it here. That is a completely evil thing to teach to kids imo. I think back to Wonder Woman and how that ended extremely poorly. It's just a mess.
I haven't seen the movie, but from the description, it doesn't sound anti-marxist. It sounds demonic. The king is God, and the wishes are prayers. The king defeated evil without the wishes, just as God does not need our prayers and worship to defeat evil. God does not say yes to everyone's prayer request, and, according to the movie, that's not fair. Everyone is owed their wish to be granted. Very foolish, selfish, and wicked.
@15:30 … Chris talks about corporate artists… I think a big problem is that there is a muddying of the water …I think there’s a new generation of technicians who can use graphical software… and these people are being used interchangeably with people who are artists.

"stepping into her power?" not growing stronger? Not learning new skills with hard work? Not swallowing her pride and accepting the help of friends and family? Well, here I was hoping that the Critics hating this movie was a sign that it WASN'T woke garbage! Maybe the critics have finally come to their senses! Or maybe Disney is so hard up for cash they couldn't bribe the critics like usual.
