29:40 Final Thoughts - Розваги
You know what would have been crazy?
If the king was guilted into granting the non-specific wish of the grandfather, and the wish turned the king evil so that though the trials and tribulations to defeat him, the wish inspired the next generation. She would learn to be careful what she wished for as she messed up wishes constantly on the path to the king
This plotline makes a lot more sense to the movie poster, "be careful what you wish for."
Yes, a monkey paw outcome would've been a great alternative that made the wish actually matter and gave everyone more purpose in the story.
@@streamcometrue like, honestly they could have done this so dang easily. Also: have the queen realize what's going on (asha's wish turning the king evil' and have ASHA be the twist villain as the queen now sets out to stop the villain and save her love.
circling back circling back circling back love that
Also, Asha is a terrible hypocrite because her whole arc is "people should achieve their dreams by their own not with magic"
And then she gets a MAGIC star and a MAGIC WAND to GRANT WISHES.
GFY ASHA.
Yeah, it's basically a "It's only okay when I do it" mentality and that's just awful
this system of power is BAD people who wield power like this are BAD and it CORRUPTS them. not me tho bc i’m good :)
@@DragonGoddess18
Yup. The system isn't the problem.
The problem is that I AM NOT in charge.
@@streamcometrue sorry I can't see your responses idk why.
The true villain was Magnifico's PTSD and an EVIL BOOK.
Magnifico is a good guy.
He was just tired of hearing Asha complaining. She couldn't get a NO as answer and started her whole REVOLUTION for that.
Yeah, so are AUTO and Chef Skinner.
@@user-dy1dz1lz9t nope.
@@user-dy1dz1lz9t Skinner only really cared about keeping ownership of the restaurant so he could continue making his frozen food chain in Gusteau's name and image, at the expense of the restaurant and its reputation, and he threatened Remy to kill him if he didn't cook food for him, while reminding him he's nothing to him even if he made him filthy rich, he's a bad guy all the way
AUTO only cared about following orders in the most cold and calculated way possible, completely disregarding any evidence, facts, and opinions proving said orders were fundamentally wrong and outdated, and were doing more harm than good, he was perfectly fine not letting the people go back and save their own planet, even going as far as attempting to murder Wall-E and EVE, and hiding secrets to his boss as well as imprisoning him to make sure humanity continued an aimless path where they'll only worsen more and more due to their sheer dependence to machines for even just moving, thus making him a bad guy
With Magnifico the only time he starts acting purely selfishly is after he went corrupt by the book thanks to Asha threatening with stealing all the wishes and potentially blindingly grant many by using a power that surpasses him by miles, that power prompted him to rely on the book, as alone he was not able to beat Asha, was a risk he took to maintain order in his land, a risk that unfortunately bit him hard and took control over him, and everyone wrongfully end up treating him as a scourge that deserves to rot in a cell, especially that snake they now have as queen, while all get to enjoy all the goods he provided them for free, he's more of a victim than anything, forced to play bad guy in a story of an impulsive girl that only thinks in short term success at the expense of the future, much like most corpos and selfish greedy individuals nowadays
I just noticed that Sabino's wish orb shows him in his current age. Do the wish orbs also age the same as the person who gave them? 🤔
This makes me wonder…
if someone made a wish at a young age, for a young teen to fall in love with them. As the person who made the wish grows older, does the wish change so that the person that falls in love with them is the same age?
That would be an interesting thing to explore. Watching wishes evolve as the person aged so you'd see how priorities changed as people got older.
I think so cuz im pretty sure the wishes also respond to their outside environment, like when Magnifico destroys one. It wouldn't be a surprise if it did
I mean. We know Asha was born in Rosas but the kingdom isn't as old.
At least not as her grandad. He's 100 years old. Any of his children (being Asha's mom or dad) should been concieved when he was over 60, so that would make sense Asha being just almost 18.
That means. That in OVER 50 YEARS he never practiced never did anything to achieve his goal. Just when he started getting older heard of a magic man who grants wishes and decided to move there. And wait for around other 40 years. Yeah then he forgot the wish, but that's AFTER Magnifico takes it, if you didn't did ANYTHING for over 50 years with your dream... Then sorry but you're a bitter loser and you want to cheat the system.
There was a wish for a perfect nanny for horrible children in this movie. Since wishes can be not granted for years, it would become completely useless once these children are old enough. Would it disappear once kids are udults? Some wishes here make zero sense. It would be sensible for magnifico to grant sleepy's wish as soon as he got it - he could gain a loyal knight, which is useful for the kingdom and have a granting ceremony that makes him more popular among citizens. There's no reason to hold these wishes, along with the wish of that woman who wanted to sail a ship. Does the kingdom not want sailors for trades or something? Nothing in this film was thought through.
_* Gets possessed by en evil book *_
Wanda Maximof: commits a dimensional murderer. Is forgiven because "we made mistakes"
King Magnifico: Hurts some people's feelings and kidnaps a star. Gets trapped in a mirror because LOL BIAS.
Also nobody thinks how Magnifico literally mentions every single person who wants to be his apprentice does it only for interest not for true interest in the wishes.
"...Magnifico, which I'm tired of saying, so I'll just call him Chris..."
I'm not gonna lie, this made me chuckle. I love how much personality you pour into these, really makes your channel stand out
HOLY HELL WHAT YOU HAVE 298 SUBSCRIBERS? That's less than I have! What???
Thank you! If it feels like I'm pouring myself into it, I'm succeeding, even though I still have a lot to grow lol
"when it comes to the universe we're all shareholders" being an actual unironic line in a disney movie proves this is the worst timeline
Elemental is more of a 100th anniversary movie, I’m not even complaining bc Elemental is the best thing Disney’s put out in a long time and sadly will be for quite a few years. I am PISSED that Elemental got no recognition and still doesn’t.
Elemental is Pixar, and okay at best
I still haven't gotten around to watching it but the few reviews I saw for it were decent. It just didn't gain any traction it seems.
i loved elemental
Preach, elemental was so sweet
Elemental was nice, but it came out at a bad time, sandwiched between spiderverse and nemona
Magnifico changed from a guy with a huge sense of responsibility who could be spiteful but really cared for his kingdom...
To a narcissistic egomaniac that kisses his own reflection and demands worshipping for anything he does.
"The ball room, where he keeps the wish balls"
I'm DYING!
....of laughter.
And not getting the wish granted in one month... He said "I granted 14 in one year" that means he does more than 1 per month. And HOW MANY PEOPLE there are in Rosas?
We just see like 20.
At most 100 in that city.
i couldn't believe you didn't have like 20k subscribers.
- great quality
- great sense of humour
- great points
10/10 video
I appreciate that so much. Really! I hope to grow this channel by just being myself, so it makes me happy to see people enjoying what I put out so far. Double stars to you!
Asha is the real villain. Not Magnifico.
It’s like Johnny Lawrence is the real Karate Kid.
She brought chaos and corruption to the land lmao, and she was well aware of that, but kept pressing forwards anyways just so she could get what she wanted
I'm A Star is the worst song I have ever heard.
*sOLaR!!* 😂
Oh and also after that he's possessed by the EVIL DARK BOOK OF EVIL FORBIDDEN EVIL MAGIC. And then Magnifico F'n DIES
you earned yourself a sub for easy peasy dopey sneezy
I'm having a full-on mental breakdown in the background but that almost made me chuckle out loud
Aww, I'm sending you all the positive magic of a fairy godmother in hopes that you'll feel better. Thank you so much for subbing!
I love this video so much! Not a bunch going on, no big bright unnecessary visuals or a bunch of sound effects, just a discussion about a movie with appropriate visuals to match. And really good points, too!
Yes, my style is pretty simple. I just focus on my words and the visuals to support them. I'm not really into crazy edits and memes and blerf bloof bloff all over the place. Lowkey is good enough for me. Thank you for appreciating that!
"The Sorcerer's Apprentice," "The Fisherman and His Wife," and "The Pink" would've made phenomenal influences for "Wish." (And LMM or the Anderson-Lopez team should've done the music, though it wasn't all Julia's fault).
This video scratched my brain and was really in-depth than other videos I’ve seen about Wish. I can’t wait to watch more of your videos !
We all need a little brain scratch every once in a while! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. I hope you find other things you like on my channel as I post more.
this video just made me so happy for some reason.. I was genuinley surprised on how unknown this channel is because I think its SO good. But what i really wanted to say is that I never realised how overstimulated i am from doing stuff while watching youtube until I took a deep breath during the intermission and relaxed for a second, so thank you for that
Ah, I'm glad the intermission gave you a breather! It's why I decided to have one in all of my longer videos. We all need to slow down and reset for a second sometimes. Especially when we're online. Thanks so much for watching!
This may seem random... But anybody else notice how _weird_ Asha's hair is? Its ALWAYS draped over her shoulder, regardless of how she moves her head she never has to move it back into place. There are literally scenes of her running with her hair flowing BEHIND her, but when she stops running it magically falls back over her shoulder. Like what???
Her hair physics were crazy! Her braids would not have been flowing the way they were I think. I was complaining to my friend that they seemed to animate her hair like thick loose straight hair instead of cornrows and braids. Just anooother nitpick
@@ElleDeas I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this. Her hair should not be blowing in the wind like that, unless it's super strong and Asha is a fckin boulder able to withstand such high winds. I also can't stand how modern her hairstyle is. I know classic Disney weren't good at making things accurate to the era, but we have the internet now, there's no excuse for that anymore.
My biggest issue with "This is the Thanks I Get" is that it sounds _too_ cheerful... There's barely any moments in the song that feel ominous or threatening, so it kinda fails at _being_ a villain song. It would have been great if it was cheerful and upbeat to match how he sees himself as the hero, but it felt more coincidental than intentional, and they didn't include any moments to show his darker side (outside of the lyrics being very narcissistic).
Was Magnifico/Chris just going to keep the wishes he didn't want to grant inside his tower forever? What's his original endgame? We know he isn't immortal since the prologue showed him with brown hair and by the time the movie's plot starts it's now gray was he just expecting his would-be apprentice to just blindly follow his instructions on which wishes should and shouldn't be granted?
Who even knows. There was so much that needed an explanation and we didn't get one. It'd be different if he was secretly using the wishes to gain power and that's why he granted so few, but nope. He just liked the decorations I guess lol Thanks for commenting!
That's why he was looking for an apprentice.
Jeda about songs 😊
@@streamcometrueh
He was safekeeping them, so nothing bad could happen to them, and he could always go back and revise a wish to see if maybe he judged it wrong or no opinions have changed
I just finished watching the thinkerbell movie saga, and the truth is those movies would be perfect for a 100th anniversary
I know we can always make jabs at how you shouldn’t make too many sequels, but I actually absolutely adore all of the Tinkerbell movies. The journeys have actually stayed unique and true to the characters without feeling like it’s forcing them to be something they aren’t. Disney really lost touch with Wish and a lot of their recent movies in general.
If Disney hadn't skipped the BEAUTIFUL love story between Asha and the Starboy, and the evil villain couple, Magnifico and Amaya, then I would have absolutely LOVED "Wish"!!! 😭💔💢
Damnn howd u sneak all those jokes and puns in there?? Thats a great talent u got i cant wait to watch more vids :D
Thank you! I hope to have more time to upload throughout the year.
You deserve more subscribers. Btw you have a nice singing voice. 🙂
Aww thank you! That means a lot. I appreciate you taking the time to comment and I hope you find more things to enjoy here as I post more over the year.
I honestly wish Magnifico himslef had been a star that was once wished upon but he got disillusioned by humans. But yeah he had to be a villanious villain.
Yes, there were so many different and better ways the story could have gone!
If they want to make a movie that makes audience connect to the older Disney characters, Wreck it Ralph2 did it better than Wish 😂😂
Totally!
Love the channel. Great points and original takes. Love the choice of movies to review. Should have more subscribers 👏👏👏😀
Aww thank you! I appreciate the comment and hope to grow this channel more over the year.
At All Costs was a love song between Asha and Starboy. It definitely doesn't fit in the movie without that love story.
I'm very sure that they simp Magnífico so much, that it led them to create Lore and a lot of camera for him, they loved Magnífico so much that I feel like they forgot about Asha :)
I cannot believe you don't have more subscribers!! Fantastic video essay. Keep it up! I see you going far if you continue with the great content
I appreciate you taking the time to watch my review! Thank you so much!
Other thing about wish which still upset me to this day is that there where scrapped ideas that could have fix the movie like
Star was originally going to be a shaped shifting starboy that going to be a fusion between the genie from Aladdin and peter pan and i think was going to be a love interest for asha
The queen was originally going to be evil like magnifico which could have been interesting given it would have been disney first evil villain couple
And the whole movie was going to be hand drawn animation similar to princess and the frog there where other scrapped ideas but the point is that for some reason the movie change a lot during the production of wish like starboy was replaced by star because cute star merch ( which if you was me was wasted pontinal starboy could have been disney version of jack frost from rise of the guardians ) the whole villains couple was scrapped for some reason because i couldn't find a reason for why and the movie was not in hand drawn 2D animation because 2D animation is hard to make now a days
Wish is like a modern day emperor new grove or chicken little because both had a lot of disney behind the scenes meddling that changed the movie so much that it no longer resemble the original movie anymore
It makes me wonder what happened during development behind wish and what wish could have been unless in a few years after wish released there could be a swatbox documentary about the troubled development of wish in the future
Great singing voice. ❤
Aww thank you!
I wish they hired you at Disney before they made this film and had the common sense to listen to you. There that’s my wish.
Lol Thanks. I have a feeling it still would've had issues. I'd need to take over the whole company, muhaha! Appreciate the comment.
What a wonderful review! I can't believe you don't have more views and subscribers. You are so eloquent and have a great sense of humor. I'm definitely going to check out your other videos!
Thank you! I don't have a lot of uploads yet, so hopefully the channel will grow more once I do!
You said you didn't watch the credits...does that mean you didn't hear "A Wish Worth Making?!" That song is ASTOUNDING! Seriously, please go listen to it if you haven't already, it's legitimately *so beautiful!*
Ah, thank you! I'll check it out.
Personally I love how Asha just blindly decided Magnifico is talking out of his arse when he says some wishes are dangerous. We have absolutely no idea how the magic works. For all we know Magnifico could literally see a preview of what granting the wishes did and the ones he doesn't grant have potentially terrible outcomes.
Maybe the wishes WANT to be granted in a bad way a la Wishmaster or Monkey's Paw and he has to fight to make them turn out well, so some wishes that are really easy to corrupt are just too dangerous to grant because he isn't sure he can wrestle them into a positive outcome.
Maybe granting a wish takes something from people. Lifeforce, Karma, what have you and wishes with big potential outcomes take a big chunk out of you, so he's not granting the ones that make you keel over at age 30 from a heartattack.
It's never explained how exactly it works. That would be absolutely fine if the central plotline wasn't Asha being mad at Magnifico for not magically wand twirling everyone into their happily ever after, though.
It would've been so much better if she had actually accepted the Apprenticeship and had found out that Magnifico was hoarding the dreams out of trauma, paranoia or a sinister purpose before setting out to overthrow the dude who literally invented the magic she thinks he uses wrong and built a kingdom filled with volunteers that came to mooch off that magic on his own.
This is the equivalent of me marching into a surgeons office and telling him he ought to be ashamed for only doing 3 major surgeries a month because I watched a video of one and it looked like it took like 6 hours tops.
I have no idea what kind of research and preparation goes into the surgery, which parts are important and why or how exactly to go about it in a way that's safe for the patient, just a blind idealistic anger over the fact that the surgeon isn't doing more.
It COULD be that the surgeon is lazy or it COULD be that my demand would be absolutely ridiculous and likely to harm patients if the surgeon tried to implement it. The important part here is that I'm fecking clueless.
Alan Tudyk still could have voice Valentino even if he didn't talk, he voiced Hei Hei for goodness sake! It's one of his most iconic roles!
Forever stuck on the "what could have been" with the Starboy concept... I loved your analysis of the soulmate themes and their implied personalities! Wish truly felt like the most "Movie: the Movie" Disney has made to date...
Hehe @ movie the movie! Yes, I avoided any information about Wish before watching it, so I don't know anything about the love story. Only that a lot of people are saying they wish the movie stuck with it instead of this version instead.
what a high quality video!! u bring up some rlly interesting points, also ur voice is like butter🥹keep it up!!
Butter is great, so triple wishes to you for the compliment! Thank you for watching.
I think, one of the interesting theme and ideas the movie and all reviews skip is... what is Asha's _Wish_? Like Asha is what 17? Isn't it her last year she even remembers what her wish is? What is she feeling about it? Is she anxious or is she brave? Is she breaking the mold, attempting to become King's apprentice before her true wish can be taken away? What if she achieves her wish before it's taken away? She is such a non entity in the movie, it's hilarious considering the movie does mention pp that don't feel the same after giving their wish away and Asha must feel all sorts of things about it, and it's never brought up.
I thought that said she's a nun entity lol Yes, there's so little explored with Asha and if she even had a wish to give up. She basically got a freebie on the fly from the star, but that said more about the moment than her. Thanks for the comment!
@@streamcometrue Cheers! I just think Asha's and Chris conflict is way too personal for people who never met before, too petty, and thematically if Asha has doubts and fears about giving her Wish to Chris, it would have worked better, what if she is looking for a verification or validation about giving away her wish to only find out it's not as bright as she herself sells it to the tourists. All conversations with parents and friends about giving away Wishes would just naturally fit in. If she and the King had a conversation about Wishes, and she would tell him about her fears, and he just becomes offended by it, she can just lash out and say something to him like "my true wish is for people to not give away their wishes" and _when_ it becomes not just altercation between King and angsty teenager, but also a threat to a kingdom and everything King has built so far, it would justify why reaction from both of them is so extreme and emotional, and irrational. Like she really went "I don't like the King, he is such a meanie, let's destroy the government".
22:57 OH. MY. GOD
I really like your idea about what Disney could have done that would be more of a celebration of the last 100 years, but I'm worried that it would have ended out like Mickey's Philharmagic attraction at DCA. Donald tries to use Mickey's sorcerer hat and it backfires. He goes from movie to movie, like Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Coco, etc. One part that drives me crazy is the Just Can't Wait to be King segment. When Simba's floating head sings about brushing up on looking down, they have him literally look down with his head!
Disney is so far gone, they can't even understand their own lyrics anymore.
I hear you about them not understanding their own lyrics. I don't like the idea I threw out there, to be honest. It's not what I would've written. But I did want to make the point that they could have gone is a totally different direction if honoring their heritage was the goal. Using the characters instead of just referencing them. At least people have Dreamlight Valley and Kingdom Hearts lol Thank you for leaving a comment!
Thanks for the honest look at this movie ^^ I really appreciate that you still give it credit for things it did nicely, at the same time as not being at all shy to call it on its nonsense; I enjoy this kind of balanced review a lot, and your whole approach here was really fun to listen to. Look forward to seeing more of your videos in the future! :D
Thank you for the comment! I try to give my genuine reaction to what I watch, whether it's good or bad. Appreciate that you appreciate it!
Screw Bob Iger you can tell by his meddling that he did not want the movie to be successful Or the classic Disney villain to return or for CGI animation to evolve
11:36 the best part
3:47 YES that guy served to show the consequences of giving away your wish so well but the rest of the movie treated it so poorly it didn't last
edit: 13:14 - i feel like dahlia is one of the better written characters? she's more endearing than asha and more consistent than magnifico
Definitely. It would've been great if Dahlia and Simon were the only focus. The other friends could go lol Thanks for commenting!
I actually listen to "At all Cost demo" a lot because its so good and knowing thr og context of it makes it so much better. Its so weird how they tried to change the context of that song by one word
Yes, “love you as one does” was change to “promise as one does” but it still sounds like a love regardless of the word change.
Even with that change, it feels weird, i mean they just met each other, and suddenly they're singing that very tender, romantic-sounding song??
If you guys want something that is 2D, made with passion and deserves WAY more support then Wish, give Rise of the TMNT a try, even if you're not a TMNT fan. It's really good and it could use more support. OR! Watch Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur. A Disney property with some ACTUAL passion put in it that could also use more support. Support GOOD 2D, otherwise we're not gong to see it anymore.
I like TMNT! I didn't get to see the newest movie, but I feel like I've seen pretty much every other one, animated or live action.
If you ask me wish upon a studio should have been a 1 hour and 30 minutes movie to celebrate disney 100th anniversary the original short was good but imaged what would a longer version of the short could have been like maybe more characters interactions between classic forgotten and modern disney characters maybe it could have been divided between 3 short storys taking place in the disney animation studio with multiple characters and endings the same way the short ended that would have been way better celebrations then wish
Wow you sing good. Also fantastic point about worship music as a Christian I can confirm XD
😂 Thanks so much for watching and leaving your thoughts!
The "Jesus is my boyfriend" craze has become really cringey
This has absolutely nothing to do with wish but oh my god your voice is so nice to listen to ?? /vpos
Aww thank you! My voice sends you a gift of candy 🍬
@@streamcometrue YAYYY
You low-key have a nice singing voice.
Thank you! My voice is lowkey a low key. Heh.
Nice RE reference lol
5:03 you mean grindr profile right? ;)
Lol Hey, ya never know!
I'm not sure if it's just me (and my habit of watching HOURS-long video essays), but the fact that you kept saying a video of only 30 minutes was somehow not short entertained me.
I can't say I share a lot of your views on the movie. There are certainly other videos which cover the movie and line up more with my issues with the various songs and plot. (It is possible you didn't research the movie's development, though, which would colour your reaction to what they changed and what could have been.)
Thanks for leaving a comment! Yeah, I mostly approach my reviews according to the end product. It's like food. If I eat a meal and I don't think the peas taste good because they're too mushy, that's my review. I wouldn't research the meal to find out that they were going to use carrots, but bloopety blah happened, so they used peas instead, or the peas were of sentimental value, etc. Because no amount of additional context will change my opinion that the peas don't work. At best, it just reframes the decision.
In the same way, unless I'm doing an essay to explore a specific theme, or there's something I'm uniquely curious about, I don't research a film just to review it. It taints the experience of what it is going into it blind, which is what I'm most interested in and how general audiences will receive it, versus how I'd see it with more context and how that impacts my ability to judge it at face value first.
That might be the disconnect here, that this isn't an essay. It's just a long review. As an essay, it'd definitely be considered short lol
@@streamcometrue Some video essays call themselves "review", but fair enough. ;)
Great video!
Thank you! I appreciate the comment.
@@streamcometrue I’m really glad I found your channel, I really really enjoy your format!

I can kinda make passable noises haha Thank you for the comment!
24:14 so meny people hateid this song (inkludeing me) so the fackt that You found something good, then it makes me surprised( English is not my first language)
It's okay about language! Thank you for watching! A lot of things have some good and bad, even if there's a lot more of one than the other lol
underrated
21:52 😂😂😂😂
Is there anybody out there who would help me support the film and give it a second chance?
You're a person who knows something we don't know, will you help me support the movie and give it a second chance?
Huh?
@@streamcometruegive it a second chance, by having Life,Animated Owen Suskind to rewrite the story and rhythm for the songs in the form of one of my favorite country singers Kevin Sharp. Known for singing If You Believe in Annabelle's Wish. And I say the length of the movie should be that of Hook. Thus making it the first longer Disney Animation film than Fantasia.
wow
Underrateid yputuber
Also, vegetarians and vegans must be SO happy now that they must feel guilty of eating greens and mushrooms. great job, star!
Lol
the fact you had me laughing throughout the vid is making me subscribe lol. wish could’ve been great 🥲
