ABOUT THE MOVIE
Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Wish” is an all-new musical-comedy welcoming audiences to the magical kingdom of Rosas, where Asha, a sharp-witted idealist, makes a wish so powerful that it is answered by a cosmic force-a little ball of boundless energy called Star. Together, Asha and Star confront a most formidable foe-the ruler of Rosas, King Magnifico-to save her community and prove that when the will of one courageous human connects with the magic of the stars, wondrous things can happen. Featuring the voices of Academy Award®-winning actor Ariana DeBose as Asha, Chris Pine as Magnifico, and Alan Tudyk as Asha’s favorite goat, Valentino, the film is helmed by Oscar®-winning director Chris Buck (“Frozen,” “Frozen 2”) and Fawn Veerasunthorn (“Raya and the Last Dragon”), and produced by Peter Del Vecho (“Frozen,” “Frozen 2”) and Juan Pablo Reyes Lancaster Jones (“Encanto”). Jennifer Lee (“Frozen,” “Frozen 2”) executive produces-Lee and Allison Moore (“Night Sky,” “Manhunt”) are writers on the project. With original songs by Grammy®-nominated singer/songwriter Julia Michaels and Grammy-winning producer/songwriter/musician Benjamin Rice, plus score by composer Dave Metzger, “Wish” opens only in theaters on Nov. 22, 2023.

I like how Asha mentioned people trying to fulfill their wishes themselves and Magnifico says how most wouldn’t want to put in that much effort
and come to think of it. he's right on that part
Magnifico said that people come to him because “they know” they can’t make their wishes come true.
But these people are coming to Rosas with the hope of having it come true. Because they honestly think they can’t do it themselves.
And what if some of them have extremely impossible wishes? That can’t be granted without magic?
All the people of Rosas ever thought they knew was that they can’t make their own wish come true. That it’s always the King who is only able to do it.
Yet he rejects most of them. And Asha is right about one thing. If he won’t grant them. Why not just give them back?
Giving back their wish won’t grant it. It will return what was taken away. There is no reason to keep them in the castle.
@@bravestraven4650Nice book
It's probably because a lot of people want a wish unrelated to their talents/skillset: "I want to be rich and famous, but I'm kinda lazy."
He’s right, if you think about it, on that part anyways. He does have a point.
Now this is how a conversation between a hero and villain should be. Both Asha and King Magnifico have very valid points, but both are flawed in a way. King Magnifico is right about not all wishes need to be granted, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be returned. Asha is right about how everyone deserves better, but that doesn't mean all wishes are that worthy.
Even Asha admits that some wishes are too dangerous
@@Jahof20s and she says that those can be stopped.
@@rafaelmartinez4803exactly. She recognizes that detail and that’s important
Wish! U have to work for what u want in life. This freaking wish is toxic n it’s unbelievable bad for everyone. How the hell it’s a valid point. Even some wish shouldn’t even be granted. U have to work hard for anything in ur life.
@@asifmetal666 and it ends with people doing just that. People working for their wishes. The only thing Amaya and Asha does is help people achieve it.
“Well, you’re young. You don’t know anything, really…”
This gave me such Mother Gothel vibes.
you are right ,But he also reminds me of the evil queen from Snow White, because according to him he has a magic mirror too, and uses witchcraft like her, he is also self-centered like the evil queen.
@@claudiaelvir2098 Yeah, definitely get Queen Grimhilde vibes from him.
And Dr Faciler and Gaston vines and Jafar
He’s pretty much a mix of all the villains prior , just like Asha is every princess from Snow to Raya mixed in one . That’s what they were going for .
That’s how most 20-30 somethings see the current generation of kids and teens. They gaslight them into thinking that because they are young, they don’t know any better when maybe the young people have a point in that the system the older generation are so keen on preserving is wrong. That maybe the status quo needs to change rather than just live in a system that is unfair and continues to be so.
Honestly, respect.
Magnifico *is* a proper villain, yes, but he knows that he can only do so much for so many people, and is honest about it.
Honestly it's fascinating that he shares this with Asha, who's either his new apprentice or there for an interview. I wonder if his feelings only developed after years of using his magic.
@@OpticalSorcerer I was thinking that too. Why would he tell Ahsa anything, unless he's trying to manipulate her somehow. In some previous clips it was revealed that he has fired previous apprentices. So Aasha isn't the 1st to be trained. Did he tell them this information too? I feel like he'd have to kill them lol
@@justicetilsher Or he just erased their memories. It's much easier, especially when he can make them blame themselves.
@@OpticalSorcerer Oh I didn't think of that!
@@justicetilsher Given Magnifico sees himself as a good person, it's likely that he isn't keen on killing, but manipulation is probably something he can deal with.
I'm glad we got to see the whole clip for this. I know a lot of people were criticising it as escalating too quickly in the trailer, but I had a feeling it was edited.
Indeed. Every single complaint invalidated. I’m so happy and plan to be infuriatingly smug about this.
@@MegaTimmytommy While I'm disapppinted in the songs thus far (big fan of Disney musicals and wish that LMM, Stephen Schwartz, or the Anderson-Lopez team did the music), if the story is well-written, that's the most important part.
It was definitely edited. The trailer had Asha jump straight to "they deserve more..." just from knowing some wishes won't be granted. Here she actually follows up her line of questioning and we get to see how suspicious Magnifico's intentions really are.
I have a feeling he's had lots of other interviewees question him before, and this was the last straw
I knew this was going to happen 😂they just wanted to call a black girl their usual afrophobic line-up insults when nothing about the movie is political, and they ASKED for Afrocentric haired princesses in response to Ariels hit release anyway 😆they just have a race obsession but say they “can’t see color.”
@OpticalSorcerer the songs are solid just not on the same level as the og disney movies. But I'm glad disney uploaded this clip
‘People give me their wishes because they don’t believe they can accomplish them on their own’ is actually an insanely good rebuttal to Asha’s argument. The people of Rosas get to choose ONE wish, why would anyone waste it on something like ‘sailing’ or ‘having a family’ or ‘writing a song’? Clearly they think a 1/1000 shot at instant gratification is a better deal than just putting in a bit of effort
Then Asha could reply that they have been CONDITIONED not to believe in themselves by the system Magnifico created and actually demonstrate an iota of intelligence
In a way it’s almost racist how the white man is pragmatic and intelligent while the colored woman is naive and reckless
The only way that last argument would make sense is if he actually grants all wishes. Otherwise, as you said, only very few people would actually get conditioned because A. No one banks on a that small of a chance, and B. If not, then this would be an issue everywhere even irl, not just in that kingdom. People getting things granted without working for it is already a thing, whether that be through lotteries, or happenstance, but that doesn't really affect whether or not people pursue they're dreams.
@@user-yc5bt1fl6j I agree with you to a certain extent, but in your point A I have a comment to make: in Asha’s song about Rosas, where she’s selling the idea of the kingdom to outsiders, the kingdom is painted as a place where wishes DO come true, and they’re not necessarily told the tiny chance, and clearly there are people in the kingdom who do believe that because they gave their wish, and king Magnifico has the power, that their wish will come true because of it. It’s an ideal, yes, but it’s still unfortunately miscommunicated
“You make it so they forget the most beautiful part of themselves.”
So, him taking the wishes from the people is like him literally taking a piece of their _souls._ That’s… actually kinda terrifying.
Ive read the novelization of the film
Your kinda correct
The wishes are connected to peoples hearts
Yeah, what happens if he destroys someone’s wish? Would they die?
@@chloejoyhenry3137 they get extremly weak and into a depression state
As if their child was taken from them at a young age
@@FilmReactorHoly shit, that’s actually kinda fucked up
@@joatgaming6999 yea
It scares me that magnifico has such a wide control iver peoples dreams
It would probably be cool if the climax was magnifico going insane and granting a bunch of wishes, but adding sinister flares to them. For example, someone wishes for the kingdom to be happy, so magnifico unleashes a massive cloud throughout the entire kingdom that causes almost everyone to go into mass hysteria
That is close to something that I'm guessing happens based on trailers, interviews, and the book versions. Simon wants to be knight so to capture Asha, Magnifico makes him a knight but the magic used to do that is green and the magic that was used to give a woman her Wish earlier in the movie was red, possibly hinting at some sort of taint to the Wish.
I really like that they make Magnifico’s ideology genuinely flawed. He wants to help people with their problems while understanding the importance of self-reliance. However, his solution is to take that initial desire away from people, cutting them off from their own humanity, as if having that desire made them weak in the first place. Wishes, however, don’t do that. They are the very motivation behind people’s actions.
No. He’s just a vain, entitled person. He sees himself as a benevolent king making his subjects happy when he is only making them complacent and ignorant.
Sometimes, villains don’t have to be morally grey. His ideology is that of a control freak who thinks himself a god and thus looks at everyone like a child.
Morality isn’t necessarily grey. Neither does that make it mature.
Complacency is like depression and why it’s hard to get out of it. It takes effort to get out of something that you are comfortable, but not necessarily happy. The people of his kingdom are complacent, but because they assume he will grant their wish. They don’t realize they could potentially make their wish come true themselves because they believe someone will help them.
Depression is a state in which you aren’t just sad, but you don’t want to do anything. You lie in bed for five, feel afraid to get out of it, can’t take a shower, and isolated yourself from others while thinking you suck. It takes works to get out of a depressive state, it takes work to get out of an unhealthy state of mind because it’s comfortable. It’s routine and thus comforting and thus takes effort to get out.
@carsfan1995
1. Are you calling Magnifico's ideology black and white? I'm quite fond of the Gray-and-Grey Morality trope, mainly because it sounds catchy.
2. Complacency is often a person's downfall. How dangerous do you think complacency is in general? Do you think Rosas needs to be told off for their complacency?
3. For the first paragraph, are you saying the people's infatuation with Magnifico for his good looks and power is hindering their common sense?
@@carsfan1995
Bro, *you’ve completely missed the point* 💀
While it is a very fictitious setting simply designed to justify the king being a villain, it still kind of does make sense. If you think you can do it then you should just do it instead of relying on magic. Things that are easily earned tend to get forgotten
At the same time, people’s incapability to reach their dream causes misery. Many philosohers have pointed this out
While obliviating the unreachable wishes has its own point, all the king really had to do was to notify his subjects that once they give him their wishes, they are forfeit of their chances of trying it out on their own. This way the king becomes totally immune to any moral accusations
Except if these are things they can't achieve themselves, what good actions could they possibly motivate? Buddha himself said the source of pain is to desire something one cannot have.
I think it all comes down to personal choice. Did people agree to forget this part of themselves, or not?
This scene sets up an interesting premise. Also, the voice acting is really good here, both from Ariana DeBose and Chris Pine.
I can’t believe that’s Chris Pine 😂
It is a very flawed premise as far as I can tell.
Eh, it's mainly just Chris pine, she's good too of course but there's many parts that require either more or less emotion, and some that stay in the same tone when it shouldnt-its just a bit iffy.
I thought you said Chris Pratt
@@poise-rt2dzChris pratt isn't in this movie
I like this scene. I wish they had tried to sneak a little bit more of it into the trailer, since the trailer made it seem like Asha was the unreasonable one.
Here she admits that not every wish is good, and granting every single one is unfeasible. Her problem isn't Magnifico not granting wishes, it's that he's selfishly hoarding them and erasing people's memories.
The people criticizing it are from two "zones" as I see it: The first zone are those in the business/movie/streaming industry. It behooves the streaming services that Disney continues to fail so more people will stop watching Disney movies which might lead them to turn to streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, appletv+, Paramount, etc. and tempt them into watching something like a Netflix made movie that would, if made by a big movie company, would cost audiences a fortune to see the movie in a theatre. (Think about how high ticket prices and concession food prices are..Ouch!!!) Disney fails continually=sinks deeper into debt=files for bankruptcy. And it can happen. NO company is exempt from becoming bankrupt. And that would benefit many industry insiders and their clients. This is a business that thrives on money. If Disney went bankrupt and had to give up everything and I mean EVERYTHING, can you imagine the bidding war that would take place between movie studios, business and such? Think on that one. As for the second zone, that is filled with some people who actually get sponsorship from certain companies with links to other businesses who aim is to bring certain people down, to destroy reputations and yes, to get people to not see particular movies. And some of ya'll can scream "Where's your proof?" Or "You're full of it? Or even " That doesn't happen." How stupid are you? It happens. Use your head. Dirty dealings are done in many job sectors. What would make you think it wouldn't happen in Hollywood? Heeellloooooo!!!!! Now these people who get these sponsorships are the mouthpieces for these companies and boy do they do their job. All over the internet you see these different folks on UA-cam trashing "Wish" because it's animation is off, it's pushing "woke" agenda, which is a laugh considering NO one has seen the whole movie so shut the hell up and other b.s. excuses. First off, there's nothing wrong with the animation. They've gone back to the 2D style they used I hits like "The Little Mermaid," "The Lion King," and "Aladdin." It's called "honoring the past which these fools know nothing about. As for the rest of the trolls, they just hate on Disney because they hate Disney! And they've got nothing else better to do. Do yourselves a favor my friends: Don't watch these vlogs. It's a bunch of propagandist b.s. so these UA-camrs can get their money/sponsorship along with more views and subscribers. I've looked at other comment threads from the different sites where the trailer for " Wish" has been shown and most of the response has been extremely positive. At the end of the day, WE are the ones who count, the ones who will see the movie, not a bunch of haters.
@@kateluxor2986Yeah, I'm not reading all that. But congratulations, or sorry that happened.
@@kateluxor2986
Jesus, how much time did you spend writing this 💀💀
Those people don't need to go to give their wishes then.. It's not the king faults
@@alexaalexa2308Pretty much. Asha is still being unreasonable, there’s just more words to it now. The King does a much better job explaining his point of view. And how exactly are unattainable dreams “The best part of yourself?” You can tell the actors’ tones are trying their best to paint Magnifico as a dismissive and inconsiderate bad guy here, but if you listen to what they’re actually saying, he’s absolutely right. Not everyone can or should have their way, and leaders need to make decisions for the many first and foremost. And guess what usually happens anyway when you no longer chase a dream? Over time, you can forget about it and/or lose interest. He’s just speeding things up.
I feel like Magnifico is a representation of soulless executives who have more say about the fate of animated projects than the artists.
I had a suspicion when I heard the "Welcome to Rosas" song that the catch to giving Magnifico your wish at the ceremony would be that you would forget what your wish was. And in that song, Asha says Magnifico only grants one wish a month; 12 wishes a year. So the vast majority of the townspeople will live their whole life without their wish.
And in “This Is The Thanks I Get?!”, Magnifco says he granted 14 wishes the previous year, to which he claims to be a *high* percent. _2 extra wishes_ being seen as a “high percent” really accentuates the selfishness in his actions.
Also, Asha’s grandfather is _100 years old._ Who knows just how long he’s been waiting for his wish to be granted…
@@Jackie-McCann Exactly. I do wonder though what the townpeople are thinking about all this. They are aware only one wish is granted a month and I assume they know they will forget their wish if they give it to Magnifico. So, why is Asha shocked when she learns most wished won't be granted? They already know he only does one a month so they should be able to come to that conclusion on their own.
@@creategenius719 They DON'T know that they will forget their Wish, Asha said "You won't miss it" in the song and here she says "You make it so they forget the most beautiful part of themselves. And they don't know what their missing", making it clear that until this point Asha (and everyone else) never really wondered why the Wishes were never missed. They likely believed they didn't miss their Wish because they knew it was with Magnifico and that it would be granted in time they just have to be patient. After all Magnifico is their "beloved King", he wouldn't lie or withhold information from them, right? Like how all the governments are absolutely 100% transparent with their people about everything that involves them, right. In "This Wish" Asha says "If I could show them everything I've seen/Open their eyes to all the lies, then/Would they change their minds like I did?", makes it clear that there is more than one lie Magnifico is telling the people which would match the idea that they don't know they will forget nor do they know that he will never give back the wishes that he refuses to grant.
@@1993digifan Actually they are informed that they will forget their wish; after the first song, someone asks Asha if you really forget the wish and she says yes. However, they were misled about all wishes standing equal chance to be selected and about the side effects of giving away a part of their soul (Simon was feeling the effects of a part of him missing very badly to the point that it made him act irrationally).
Let me say I just love how Magnifico is showing a good portion of how dark he can get! The line he spoke (1:05) really nailed it hard, and gave Asha, and maybe us, a pretty good stunned fright!
I agree with you king magnifico's quote, I decide what everyone deserves, sure did give asha and all of us watching this clip a very good fright.
Agree, adding this reference to the movie
I didn’t expect that line, as it frightened me with the sudden jump, yet I love the quote.
HA! I KNEW IT! Magnifico is not a villain because he's not granting certain wishes! He's a villain because he's taking away people's free will and making him a God that thrives on people relying on him as opposed to letting people solve their own problems when they need to!

he decides because its his kingdom, pretty simple. Saying if theyre dangerous than they can be stopped is a short sighted way of thinking. His method is preventative maintenance, her method is reactive maintenance.
That's actually a really good point that I haven't thought about before. I thought they were trying to cover Asha's bases with that line so that she didn't sound unreasonable but even that's not good enough. Magnifico should have come up with this as a rebuttal:
"Asha, if I were to give back every wish that I decided not to grant and they turned out to be dangerous wishes that I needed to stop, then I would have no time to perform my duties as king."
While he's saying this perhaps he can use magical imagery of a mallet whacking one mole, then another, before they start multiplying exponentially and the mallet can't keep up. Demonstrating why it's best to keep the wishes that turn out to be dangerous as a preventative measure instead of reacting to all of the fires he'd be forced to put out on an ad hoc basis.
Very intense scene right here. King magnifico is a very proper Villian. I think he wants to keep everyone's wishes for himself.
We don't know for sure yet. It may sound like he's being greedy and power hungry, but he does make some terrifyingly valid points. Keep in mind that the movie's sole purpose for existing was to celebrate Disney's 100th anniversary. There have been some problems with that if you're a certain way (beautiful looking, white, and conforms to society's expectations), your wish will come true without having to put up all the effort. I think Starkid's Twisted explained this notion perfectly about how people really should be more mindful of the wishes they make. What we're seeing here is the perfect balance of a classic villain and a three-dimensional character with valid motives based on the facts presented to us.
Judging from the clip, I think he's trying to keep his people safe because they're too dependent on the king to grant their wishes. The people can't think for themselves so he keeps their wishes.
I think Asha will be the face of change in the kingdom. I have a feeling the King will change too, so he's not entirely villainous as other pure evil Disney villains.
He's the king. I don't understand how the queen puts up with him.
Love the lighting in this 💖 you can tell Magnifico is one of those villains who believes he’s in the right, and the backlighting at the end hints at something more sinister to come- I’m really looking forward to Wish 👀
Also one of those people who only grants wishes when it benefits him and only acts in the people's interests when it's convenient for him.

He's not great but a villain non the less. He seems to be toned down from what we're used to with Disney villains. He's not Scar, Jafaar or even Judge Claude Frollo. But in the end he's still a villain.
@@AfterthymeGamingI just watched it, he’s a pretty darn good villain, not the best but he is certainly a breath of fresh air compared to all of the other antagonists in Disney’s recent movies
The full context makes a lot more sense in why he is the villain. He's not being criticized for not granting the wishes. He's being criticized for not giving his people the Choice to pursue their dreams. For hording them (probably for his own powers). Even if they choose not to because its too hard or too unfair, they deserve to knowingly make those choices. If I wanted to be a great chef and gave up because I was horrible at cooking and its too hard, that's my choice to make.
Meanwhile, Magnifico here thinks he deserves to make their choices for them. Glad that whole thing was addressed.
You just summed up his character very accurately. He tells Asha that he makes it so they 'forget their worries' as he said, but it's clear that he's just making it so that the people feel like they HAVE to rely on him.
except they do have the choice: as he said, he doesn't take the wishes from the people forcibly. They WILLINGLY gave them to him. They choose to part from them and give them to Magnifico. They made their choice and after that point, Magnifico can do whatever he wants with them.
@@thetwelfthdoctor9892 Not really. Him presenting his ability as a way to get your wish counts as manipulation.

Seems basic. You work in his kingdom utopia for sorta free since no land taxes at least and you officially gamble away your deepest wish WILLINGLY and don’t even remember what it is so you can be a completely different person decades later when it’s granted. And that’s if it’s granted.
He’s not being villainous. He being perfectly reasonable, even removing the memory of that dream since the lack of being able to accomplish it is why they come to him rather than do the work they should be doing in the first place. At that point it’s a mercy to forget

If your dream is something like flying, then that advice makes sense. He says (maybe not correctly) that people would only come to him if they didn't think they could achieve these wishes for themselves. So why shouldn't they give up on these dreams if the wish isn't going to be granted?

You can be a sociopath without killing anyone. Sociopathy involves dishonesty and deceit, difficulty controlling impulses, disregard for personal safety and safety of others, and have little to no guilt or remorse.

And she is NOT the villain like the trailer commenters were implying
@@lenirasusana5693 Yes thank you! got on my nerves
So does Magnifico.
Now we understand that he is a REAL villain with the trailer we think he is right not to fulfill everyone's wishes but he wants to keep them alone. And with this extract Asha didn't have it so "adokable" but more mature than she looked. I think this film is too criticized when it's better than we think
Honestly, that's why I disagree with people saying that Disney heroines have an "adorkable problem". So many people who are sick of this trope seem to be treating most of the characters that are like this like they're one dimensional childish morons, when the entire point to most of them is that in spite of their quirks and having a different wiring of their brains, they do have a mature, smart side to them and they just have a hard time using it. And by the end of their journeys, they do grow as people and become smarter and more mature, while still accepting their quirks and using them to their advantage. This is the outline for the story of Rapunzel. It's the outline for the story of Judy Hopps. Mirabel, Moana, Luz, Marcy, Anne, Molly, etc. Would it be nice if we got a main Disney character who is high strung like Tiana? Or selfish like Kuzco? Sure. But I'd argue that being quirky comes in all shapes and sizes, and I'm excited to see how this underdog grows throughout her story.
@@kylemorello4787 yes me too people need to stop judging characters personalities with a trailer
I love how you can tell how the people of the kingdom have fallen for Magnifico’s rule, and he’s still a bad guy. Not making him just a one dimensional villain or a sympathetic antagonist, a complete balance.

Both are good.
Frollo’s was epic, while this guy’s was a bit catchy.
Unexpected twist that when the people give their wishes to him, they actually forget them. I'm intrigued
While it is a very fictitious setting simply designed to justify the king being a villain, it still kind of does make sense. If you think you can do it then you should just do it instead of relying on magic. Things that are easily earned tend to get forgotten
At the same time, people’s incapability to reach their dream causes misery. Many philosohers have pointed this out
While obliviating the unreachable wishes has its own point, all the king really had to do was to notify his subjects that once they give him their wishes, they are forfeit of their chances of trying it out on their own. This way the king becomes totally immune to any moral accusations
I am all for Chris Pine finally portraying a villian. Has that even happened before?
Horrible Bosses 2
Don’t worry Darling
SO THE PLOT THICKENS! So glad we understand more of his motives. I wonder why he's not giving the wishes back... ideas?
He says so in the clip. The people willingly give their wishes because the journey to their dreams is too difficult for them, and he makes them forget their worries. It sounds similar to the conflict of Inside Out, where Joy believed Riley had to be happy all the time (except Joy wasn't a villain, of course).
I think he uses the wishes as sources of power
@@Khadi-C You are so right! Interesting! I appreciate that he thinks he's doing them a favor.
@@Fleur__Delacour That's what I am thinking too
My theory is that it provides his power? A wish in itself can be powerful, maybe that plus the need for control and to also to stay in control.. that’s my idea really 😊
This scene is better than most trailer scenes. And it has good background music.
This movie could be more successful that we thought. Please support wish. This is exacly what disney is capable to do. It's original and classic again. I will trust this movie.
Oh look. A pixie-dusting shill. 🤡
I can tell this movie will be as great as Disney’s Tangled. Oh wait, it will be more than excellent. It will be incredibly marvelous!

Haha nope
@@dannyjorde2677 God forbid, someone can have an opinion….

Okay, but the animation is marvellous. Their facial expressions give me goosebumps. I actually really want to see this now.
Thanks! People are mixing animation with graphic style! You can dislike the style if you want, but the movements and the expressions are marvelous!
@@ninifish7528
Dude, I wanna prefer it now.
It looks different, compared to the previous dozen 3D films that often get mixed reviews.
*It looks artistic, and kinda less annoying. And I honestly love it.*
I think Disney didn't add some of this in the trailer on purpose to make us think that King Magnifico was right and Asha was the villain so when people see this scene Disney's gonna be like "See now you look dumb"
Fun fact: it says King Magnifico was inspired by The Evil Queen of Snow White and Maleficent of Sleeping Beauty
That is actually intense, this movie is going to high like Billions, hopefully.
I know people have been criticizing the animation and art, but it looks very beautiful here, so hopefully people will actually give this a shot and watch it instead of hating on it blindly. I think this is gonna be much better than people have decided it’s going to be.
Exactly, like I don't understand how this new animation style for Disney can become so controversial, people said that Disney hasn't been experimenting with different animation styles that much while DreamWorks have, and yet here Disney is trying 2.5 D art, and people are getting upset at that? 🤦
@@SoelSofiaEloiseI don’t like big corporations but it is kinda stupid
..if they don’t go a new route, there’s people upset about it.
If they do, there’s people upset about it.
Can’t win lol
100% agreed. And even if Wish doesn't end up being a masterpiece, but instead a nice little 7/10 movie that tries just hard enough and doesn't have any questionable shit, I'll still be grateful it exists. Knowing how much Disney has gotten wrong compared to the things it's gotten right over the past several years, I do understand peoples' skepticism. That said, if something looks genuinely promising and has signs that it might be addressing their legitimate criticisms, that's when you gotta give the creators credit. Even if the end product does only turn out to be good and not great.
@@SoelSofiaEloisethis is the same style they've been using for 10+ years now, just slightly choppier.
This explains a lot about the plot. The kingdom thinks their king is such a great guy because they can only remember the wishes he actually grants.
Yay we were all concerned about how the villain doesnt seem that bad after the trailer, but im glad this finally cleared things up
This is what I call " You can go the long way..Or the short way" scenario...and both are hard either way...so we're dealing with basically two evils....in real life the long way is the hardest and half of the time achieved...but the short way will get you there..but you don't really learn anything....so I like where this movie is going to...
Something about this villain kind of reminds me of how some villains in the precure franchise work.
Spot on
Can you make an example please
You know what , I was scared she was gonna be too “quirky” like the ones before her , and while I’m sure she’s playful and awkward at times , this scene gives me hope that they won’t lean too much into that with Asha . I like how she seems smart and reasonable and THATS what I wanna see .
all of the other girls had that (mirabel and rapunzel especially) y’all just have terrible media literacy
Bruh literally every "quirky" character was both playful and smart. The only one I would say wasn't was Anna, but that was literally her character arc in the first movie, so yeah.
@@lilac3266
Exactly. People really do because ModernGurlz did a reality stupid video.
@@carsfan1995 literally like ofc if u put similar scenes side by side theyll seem the same. Now get a clip of when mirabel was arguing with her abuela and when rapunzel was arguing with mother gothel. “Oh no they both are feisty defiant girls they’re the same character” like do ppl not realize personalities have many sides? Did nobody take an English class in highschool??
I feel like the other "quirky" characters like Rapunzel, Mirabel, etc. knew when to tone it down and let serious moments play out as well.
That's actually a very intense scene. Can't wait to see more.
This man *literally* erases people’s memories and yet *he’s* the one to decide what everyone deserves.
@@DrasticFox2004
Well he did say that people come to him to grant their wishes because they can’t do it themselves because “the journey’s too hard or it’s unfair”’etc. So if the people Rossa can’t and won’t follow or pursue their wishes and want to take the easy way out, then really they deserve to not have their wish granted if they won’t work hard to achieve it themselves! It’s kinda like how modern SJW and Z Gens are so entitled that they won’t work to make a living or won’t go to university or school to get the education to be a better person. They just want to take the easy route and have everything be given to them because they feel victimised or under appreciated.
King magnifico is proper villain. Who knows he can only do for many people and tell the truth about it.
I just watched the movie a few days ago and I believe this part of the movie would've been improved tremendously if *SPOILERS* the wish granting ceremony was placed in between the "At All Costs" song number and this argument scene. Picture this, Asha finds her grandfather's wish and King Magnifico examines it but instead of immediately rejecting the wish out of hand decides to play coy, not giving a direct answer and says "Tell you what Asha, how about I give you a front row seat to my next wish granting ceremony. You get to share a spot next to my wife, the queen! What do you say?" Then Asha is overjoyed and maybe her "adorkable" traits have a reason to exist here when she stammers a response "I-I-I would be honored, Magnifico-Sir-King! *clumsily curtseys* Thank you!" Then Magnifico chuckles and says "Don't mention it, it's my pleasure. Just sit back, relax and enjoy the show." He gives a little wink and walks away with the wish in hand, leaving Asha with the impression that he very well could grant her grandfather's wish. Maybe have the camera show her looking excited but also with a hint of uncertainty as to what will happen next. Then the wish granting ceremony happens and all seems well, Asha is sitting next to Queen Amaya and her grandfather is with her other buddies in the crowd as seen in the film, then Magnifico takes wishes from the two people who offer them to him just like in the movie. This is Asha's first real hint that something's not quite right, and she gives a puzzled expression in response. Then we get to the actual wish granting part and Asha is excited again. *Drumrolls* "And the next person to have their wish granted is... this lady towards the front!" It's the person who wants to be the best seamstress just like in the movie who shouts "MEEE!!" This is a smack across the face to Asha and her grandfather and after the scene ends, Asha nervously returns to the chamber, where Magnifico is busy with his potions, to ask about the status of her grandfather's wish. Then Magnifico starts telling her about the wish being too vague just like in the movie which then leads to this argument scene. He could even throw in a line "I said I would give you a front row seat to my wish granting ceremony, and I did, but I never said I would grant your grandfather's wish, did I?" Perhaps he could flash a devious smile and Asha looks shocked by this. I think this would help flesh out King Magnifico's manipulative skills just by improving the pacing.
I think Asha and her friends will end up inspiring the people of the kingdom to pursue their dreams on their own. It would actually be quite a beautiful, mature message - a magical wish can transform you into the person you want to be but at the same time, that isn’t really you, it’s an artificial version of you, essentially. I think part of the beauty of having your wish come true is the journey you go on that leads to that; the little bursts of pride and satisfaction when you get something right, learning from your mistakes and, eventually, being able to look back on the path you took and acknowledging that while it wasn’t easy getting there, you’re happy with the destination you’ve arrived at. On the other side of the coin, if you work and work and work and put all your energy into something you’re not actually passionate about, you risk ending up full of bitterness and regret.
Thank you for sharing this Disney. Hopefully it’ll help calm the criticism going around online. People are judging it too quickly.
I agree. When I saw the trailer. It's was perfect. I'm sure that movie will save disney.🥰
I'm the one who doesn't juge negatively this movie. I'm very excited to see this movie.

I say, he's one pretty interesting villain, telling by that angry look on his face.
Here's me hoping the villain doesnt get a cliche redemption arc or idk. Since he's not a twist villain I think Magnifico should also have character development alongside Asha
To all those who still don't think Magnifico is a villain: what good reason could he have for hoarding a lot of people's wishes and erasing their memories of them instead of giving them back if he's not going to grant them?
You ever met that guy who never gave up on his dream of being a rockstar, but now he's 48 playing long-outdated music at a dive bar for a free beer, dreading going home to his third wife?
@@billowspillow Asha's grandfather is 100 years old and once he gets his wish back, he starts trying once again to write that special song. Besides, it is not up to Magnifico to decide when people should give up on their dreams as artists.
0:47 that such a Disney princess thing to say, AND I LOVE IT! I missed those lines so much 😢❤
Asha isn’t a Disney Princess but I agree.
@@chloejoyhenry3137 the biggest part of the marketing of this movie is the fact that she is a Disney princess.
I love the background score! It's definitely reminiscent of Disney's older classics.
Man for such a scene like this, those 2 characters make such good arguments. It's kinda refreshing seeing both sides of the argument in their point of view such as how wishes can be used for good or evil, what's safe or what's dangerous to have wishes and how much effort it takes. It's true as the old saying goes "be careful what you wish for" meaning getting what you want is one thing but it can also come with a price. Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
I respect Asha for not saying stuffs like “people deserve their wish”, instead saying that the wish fuels people’s motivation and everyday life, it’s like Sandman and John Dee’s argument in the series(great show), to John dream is just a lie for people to cope with their disappointing reality while to Morpheus dream is what inspires people to do what they do every day, it’s a pretty mature argument that isn’t just black and white
Wow, Chris Pine really puts so much emotion in Magnifico
It wasn't fair what he did. This does not make him the ruler of the state. These are honest people. They deserve everything.
But one person cannot give everyone everything they want. No one ever could. Dreams and wishes are great, but, if one isn't willing to strive to make them come true, then they never will. There's an old saying about this: "One makes a net, and one man sits and wishes. Would you care to bet which man gets the fishes?"
@@Quagthistle Exactly. And I’m glad Asha realized this. It’s sad that the people of Rosas genuinely think they can’t do it on their own. Who knows what the King has told them for years?
And Rosas has people that came from all over the world. Who believed in the vision of wishes coming true. They came from many far away places. So one could argue that is their effort.
Doing all of that just for their wish. But they are left blind to the fact that maybe there was a way they could have done it themselves.
If Magnifico was good. He would look into their wishes. Guide them in the best direction. And maybe even use a bit of his magic to help. It’s ok to seek for help for your wishes. But you also have to put in effort.
REALLY looking forward to seeing the full scope of Magnifico's villainy with this movie!
this clip alone proves that everyone should watch wish
Life is not fair, lady... I agree with the king here
She had a good point: don't grant dangerous wishes obviously. But harmless wishes that won't be granted should be just returned to their owners. And encourage them to pursue it themselves.
That's not an unreasonable suggestion.

Okay this makes better sense than the trailer.
People in previous teasers were all saying that Magnifico was right, not all wishes should be granted and how is he the bad guy?
I was like "You know there's more to it than that, right?"
There's plenty of hints throughout the clips and that could never be his main trait, or they would have no storyline.
* *whishing someone was with me so I could "yell" at them all this and release all the frustation it's caused on me* *
* This got longer than I thought, sorry. I just had to get it all out of me 😅
And that's the kind of Wish that wouldn't be granted by this guy, the true hero of this story.
Alright I'll bite.
IMO, this clip doesn't make Magnifico evil. It's very debatable whether what Magnifico is doing is actually wrong at all. And even if it is wrong, doing one wrong thing like Magnifico is doing here doesn't automatically make someone villainous.
Also, this world-building is starting to become very convoluted: So the King can take wishes, but with one (very, very arbitrary) catch - that person forgets whatever they wished for. The King can choose which wishes to grant, and this King (Magnifico) happens to grant only a small amount of wishes. (I still struggle to find how this is bad? If the people give Magnifico their wishes, and they know with full disclosure that they will lose their memory, Magnifico has no real obligation to grant their wishes. I also wonder if the movie will explore what kinds of wishes the people have, if they mostly are good or bad wishes.) But, for some reason, a star can fall out of the sky and automatically grant the wishes of anyone without any drawbacks or catches (seemingly). The reason I say this is convoluted is because this world-building of how granting wishes works is completely arbitrary and bad writing. I am struggling to find how this situation reflects the real world at all. Unless this movie is a very subtle critique of the concept of an all powerful, seemingly benevolent God. It's almost like this movie is pushing "The Problem of Evil" or "Divine Hiddenness" arguments against the existence of an all powerful, all loving God.
@@w.j.c.729 the thing is they don't know they will lose their memories, that's what Asha said. He is removing their option of choice and removing a part of their identity, since it's our goals and wishes for life that define us.
That's what I understood from it, anyway. Maybe it's wrong.
@@mariamendes8343 They know that they will be losing their memories but they don't know that they will be feeling empty or incomplete afterwards and that Magnifico keeps most of the wishes for himself and only grants wishes that will be beneficial for the kingdom and most importantly for securing his position as king. Some wishes are ruled out from the very beginning just because Magnifico interprets them in certain ways regardless of what the owner of the wish intended. He also does it because in that way he removes part of their souls and prevents them from being rebellious.
@@vassiliapolychronaki1631 yup, I went and saw the film, so good! My hunch was only partially correct 😓
Deciding what everyone deserves is not your decision to make, Magnifico.
I think people immediately shooting Magnifico down need to stop and think. There really isn't much difference between him and a lot of the classic villains, and in a way he's a more complex one because the story gives enough hints to know he wasn't always like that. He founded Rosas with good intentions, but over time his mindset changed as power went to his head and he found more excuses to justify making decisions that benefited him more than the people. As another wise villain once said, madness is like gravity... all it takes is a little push. What happened with Asha was Magnifico's little push. And that darkness already growing in him, the black magic latched right on, multiplied and it was downhill even faster from there.
If you ask me, King Magnifico is really Bob Iger in this form, picking wishes he wants best only for himself and viewing others as PROBLEMATIC as he does with the classics, willing to erase and destroy them at all costs.
@@Disneyfan82 Who nows, maybe it was a subtle dig at him from the animators. But I hear he's out in a year or so. I think it should be now, and he should give back most of the profits he undoubtably skimmed off the people doing the real work. If I knew voodoo worked, I'd learn it and curse him with lifelong poverty. See how he likes scraping the bottom of the barrel for even basic livelihood.

Wait when Asha was asking why he can't give the wishes back, he said she was missing the point and that people come here because they know they can't do it themselves. But that wasn't her question and he didn't answer it. Am I overthinking it or did he actually answer it and I didnt get it lol
He did not. Magnifico said that he thinks the people of Rosas think they knew that can’t make their wish come true.
And that they give it to him willingly, and then he makes them forget their worries. And that doesn’t answer the question.
The people of Rosas go to him, because they truly believe they can’t make their own wish come true. All they’ve ever known was that he was their biggest hope.
So he just didn’t even answer the question. Probably trying to distract her.
Where was this clip earlier?? It was necessary to understand the plot
This movie looks like it's going to be amazing 👏
I don't know. Am I missing something? He doesn't really sound much like a villain. Not everyone has to stay in his kingdom, the people gives their wishes to him willingly and the people don't even look like they are suffering much.
she does have a good 👍 point the people deserve better

Uh. Why does it almost feel like he's sad? Not about that situation but it almost feel like he tried to achieve a dream, a different one from being king I dunno and it did not work which led him to this path of hunger for power and love, or maybe he sacrificed and forgot his own wish in order to get power. Also quite creepy how he basically forces everyone to be happy.
Thank you, I thought I was the only one thinking that. That part of the clip really called my attention because of his facial expression while Asha talks, he's not like in the beggining when he just looks at her with skeptecism, almost condescendingly and telling her that she is too young to understand. In this minute seems like he's actually listening and thinking about it. And also the way he he says that the journey to make wishes true is "too hard, too unfair"...almost like he has passed for that. He's clearly a villain, but he doesnt seem to be even trying to manipulate her at that point, but giving his honest thoughts about it...something in that phrase makes me think in how in the "This Is The Thanks I Get" song and in other clips emphasize that he built the Kingdom of Rosas. Not his family, him, whats the story behind that?. And I know everyone wants a "classic villain" in this movie...and I would like him to be a classic villain, but also to have some backstory. Not for justifying him, after all, someone could have a terrible life in the past and still don't be exent of be punished if does something wrong in the present, but to explain his ideals and not be just "he wants more power" or, at least, to show why he seems so worried to the idea of lose control over Rosas when he's already a respected and loved king by his people. In any case, I have a good feeling about this movie

The added context makes me hopeful….
Yikes! I hope asha will stop the king’s evil plan.
“I decide what everyone deserves!”
Pretty much every Entertainment company
Magnifico himself contradicts the argument that he cares about security from how casual he is throughout this whole scene. First of all, he short-listed for an interview a girl from a family where someone has given a supposedly risky wish. If Magnifico was serious, he would have done his homework and run some background checks on the candidate so that he would only short list those who have passed the screening process. That is, he would have checked the wishes of the candidates (if they are 18 or above) and the wishes of their families and see what they were and if he is approves of them. It is made clear in the previous scene (where Asha discusses this with her friends) that the king has created this privilege for his assistants and their families to be fast-tracked when it comes to wish-granting so that they don’t have to wait for years like everyone else. He should have known that if he did not agree to grant one of these wishes soon, his new assistant might want to ask some questions and this could expose the whole scheme as a fraud. Then there is the fact that he nonchalantly reveals important state secrets to the new intern whom he has not even properly employed yet and to whom he has not given any non-disclosure agreement to sign yet. He just seems confident that the rejected interviewee will be ignored if she starts spilling the beans about what she discovered. Plus, he changes his tune three times on this issue: first he says that the wish may be dangerous because of its unpredictable consequences. When Asha asks why he does not just give the wishes that cannot be granted back, Magnifico jumps to a totally different argument by saying that there is no point giving them back because people know that they cannot make their wishes come true on their own. He basically says that people just cannot make their wishes come true without his magic and he has conditioned them to believe that (even though this does not justify why he does not return the wishes so they could at least know this part of themselves which is supposed to be their best part even if they cannot make it come true). And when Asha says that it is not right to deprive them of this self-awareness, even though Magnifico could have just gone back to his initial point and say something like, “Look Asha my dear, I have been burned really badly before when evil people followed their desire to destroy my family and my land so I can neither grant nor give this wish back even though I know that you are right and it is wrong to hold on to someone’s soul piece like this but I just cannot do it if certain conditions are not met; here, bring your grandfather to me and let’s discuss it together”. Enen later when Asha did give the wish back to her grandfather, Magnifico could have said “you thoughtless girl, do you realise what you have done? You might destroy us all? I know it is only a tiny chance and I could prevent it if I want to with my magic but still”. Instead on both occasions is “I decide what everyone deserves”. He does not even say “I decide what is safe here”, he specifically uses the word “deserve because he has developed a god complex and he wants to determine people’s fates, which is why he wants everyone to be dependent on him and not seek spiritual guidance from stars or anywhere else. He knew very well that Asha had a point when she said that wishes can be returned so people can try to pursue them themselves and if they are dangerous, they can be stopped (with his magic, it would not be a problem at all; a rebellious mob would be dispersed within seconds). Magnifico simply did not want people to work on their goals themselves or ask for help from any magical or non-magical provider as it would break the hold that he had on the population.
This clip does do a few things. Prior to watching this, it confused me what Asha saw was wrong. Sure, in other clips it shows in clips he could use the wishes to his own advantage, but no way he'd be foolish enough to reveal that to a new apprentice. Also, it is understandable that not every wish can come true( especially if some have the same wish or wish for something outside the power of his magic to give). However, it appears that when they give Magnifico their wish they give the things that are attached to the wish: the passion, the desire, the hope, etc. Therfore, when he is given a wish he takes what goes with it, causing people to forget about it. So all she is asking is why he doesn't give the wishes back to the people so they can either take care of it themselves or get some closure and find their bliss some other way( to borrow a quote, sometimes on the way to a dream you find a better one).
