Wish - Is It Good or Nah? (Disney Review)

Disney celebrating its anniversary with Wish is like Gordon Ramsay celebrating his anniversary with a can of ravioli.

To quote C.S.Lewis, “A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children isn't a good children's story in the slightest.”

My friend took her 4 year old daughter to see this and she kept asking to use the bathroom. Then finally admitted she just didn’t wanna continue watching and rather walk around the theater 💀💀💀💀

The worst part of this to me is that Magnifico has all the traits of a heroic but flawed king. Other than being conceited, he's a stand up guy. He was a normal guy, lost his family, taught himself powerful magic, made his own peaceful kingdom from scratch where everyone was welcome AND its free. He grants wishes that are good for the kingdom, aren't too vague as to back fire, and aren't impossible. He grants a wish for a woman who wants to make great clothes by giving her a magic pair of scissors so she still has to put the work in, just like he did. After all of his hard work, he should be allowed some pride and the belief that he should get some respect. He just randomly becomes evil bc Disney suddenly believes "Be careful what you wish for" is for boomers.

From what I remember, there were original plans where both the King and Queen were meant to be evil together. Honestly, it would have been engaging with Disney to have an evil couple.

Disney will NOT be dodging the AI songwriting allegations after lines like “I let you live here for free without even charging rent” for their main villains songs 💀💀

Disney using pop music writers for their anniversary honestly feels insulting. It shows such a disregard for their own history.

Damn this movie’s got Schaf defending Raya AND Ralph Breaks the Internet. This is serious 🧐

There's concept art from when Queen Amaya was evil, and the idea of a villainous power couple is rad and unique, a villain song duet could be awesome.

The fact that people actually FORGOT this film was even out really says a lot about Disney’s current state.

Hearing such a world recognized company teaching kids " I are" broke me as an English teacher

The fact they didn’t get Alan Menken involved the 100 anniversary film is criminal.

We need more flawed female character's like Megara, she never trusted anyone and always hid her emotions, but that showed us that being open isn't a weakness.

Puss in Boots The Last Wish is all the wish-based animated fairytale movie I need.

14:01 "...this movie lacks any real theme or significant message." You nailed it. That was EXACTLY how I felt after I watched the whole thing in theaters. Smh, Disney, wtf what were you doing?

Worse yet, for a movie called Wish, you see fewer wishes granted than in frigging Alladin, a movie about a genie with an explicit limit of wishes he can grant... The wishing star itself only granted one wish - the goat's desire to talk...

The original plan for this movie was for Star to be a shapeshifter with a personality like a fusion of Peter Pan and the Genie, and meant to be Asha's love interest. And the king and queen were going to be an evil couple. I would have preferred that to what we got.

Jeremy Jahns said it pretty well: "It doesn't feel like its celebrating 100 years of Disney, just the 100th year."

I don’t understand how anyone anywhere could think that it’s a bad thing to selectively grant wishes. Some wishes are bad. And some wishes just contradict each other, and so they can’t both be granted.

Dreamworks made Puss In Boots: The last Wish, which was a wish-based movie, and then Disney made their wish-based movie; Wish... I think Dreamworks won.
