This is why I'll never be ashamed to admit that I'm a fanfiction author! And yes, I've written a fic for a Disney property before.
I will always mourn the fact they scrapped the plot twist that Magnifico was a fallen star.
wait that was an idea?! omg that has so much potential!
omg. magnifico is a fallen star could have been hinted at with the wishing star turning into a boy. we could have had an awesome twist and star boy!
@@abiean222BRING BACK STAR BOY!
Why tf does this remind me of shin ultraman
DEADASS!?! THAT WAS AN OPTION
The internet may disagree on a lot of things, but the fact that this movie was garbage and an abomination to Disney's reputation was one of those things we all had to agree on.
I didn't find anything wrong with it on my first watch, until I heard out people's arguments.
Depends on which side of the pond you’re on. I hear the film got a bit more positive reception in places like Italy and Japan.
Maybe it's a translation thing?
Calling it an abomination makes it sound way more interesting than it actually is
@@geoffreyrichards6079 Probably saw it more of just a movie to watch. Here we over-analyze basically everything, which isn't exactly a bad thing, but the culture of criticizing just about everything is definitely rampant here in the West lol
3:05 I work in childcare. NONE of the kids who've seen the movie knows her name. Every one of them calls her "Wish." Compare that to Elsa, whose name EVERYONE knew. It was forgettable to their target audience as well.
Woooow! That speaks VOLUMES!!!
Yeah
400th like
literally every disney movie now
I’ve heard that kids don’t even like the movie.
Why does it always feel like Disney’s CONCEPT for the movies are usually better than the final product??
Because good ideas arent marketable enough to kids (DISNEY NEED THAT MOOLA WAHOO 🤑🤑🤑)
corporations stifle creativity.
Time press from the corporate side, I'd guess. The creatives are given time to work on interesting concepts, but before they have the time to finish them off, the company is like "We need the movie NOW, we need to start making money NOW" and so, they have no choice but to stop playing with concepts and work *something* out
@@hanasan4845 DEI doesn't help, either
Doraemon films as well as the Pokemon movies enter the chat
Enchanted feels like a movie that celebrates 100 years of Disney way more then wish
And that movie is meant to be a meta take/or parody of Disney movies, that is ironically produced by Disney
I loved Enchanted as a kid. I should rewatch it.
I thought the exact same thing! Imagine if the movie's release dates were switched and Enchanted was the 100th anniversary. That would've been WAY more fitting. Because Enchanted is not just a humorous parody of past Disney movies, it's also a celebration with clearly a lot of love and effort put into it, and the songs and musical numbers are all memorable and written by the legendary Alan Menkin. It follows the Mel Brooks rule of "you have to love what you're parodying." Wish on the other hand felt soulless and half-assed. The story and songs felt like they were written by A.I and everything else was *insert past reference here* and *insert pop song there.* And the worst part of it all is that if you saw the original concept, you realize it could've been great.
They should just rerelease enchanted, call it a belated anniversary present
Because Hybrid 2D And 3D, Basically 2.5D
In response to Belis' complaint about adults watching "movies made for kids", I leave this quote from Walt Disney himself:
"In planning a new picture, we don't think of grown-ups, and we don't think of children. But just of that fine, clean, unspoiled spot down deep in every one of us, that maybe the world has made us forget."
I’d argue that this movie was geared EXACTLY towards adults. Specifically adults blinded by nostalgia and adults who love the classic movies. All of the cut-content, the egregious amount of Easter eggs, the promise of a straight up evil villain, and obviously this movie commemorating the anniversary suggest they were trying to attract those specific groups. They wouldn’t had bothered with all of this if it was just a kids movie.
'Why are adults watching this when this movie is clearly targetted at nostalgia ridden adults????'
What always bothers me when I see people say “why are you being so critical of something made for kids” is like you went and looked at someone’s review and or critique of a kids movie no one‘s forcing you to look at that
Also kids deserve watching quality stuff too!
@@nikguimont8546I think they're expecting kids to give a review of a so-claimed 'kids media', yet they don't know not all kids have access to the internet... Unless if it's something like internet kids.
Also the 'it's a kids (insert any media here)' argument is getting old and weak counter argument.
And as someone pointed out, Disney movies and other animated movies are not actually intended to have kids audience only, *_but a family movie! The whole family!_* (minus the adults only animated series)
It's really baffling to see how Belis has such narrow minded thinking like that.
I think what's funnier about forgetting Meet The Robinsons is the fact that the message of the film is that you should "Keep Moving Forward!" or else you'll be stuck in the past like Bowler Hat Guy.
Disney is Bowler Hat Guy.
Yes, without the charm, personality and sympathy. If I personally saw Disney hunched over in a closed down diner, I would yell at them to stop exploiting queer people for money
Except without the charm, heart, or liability
Don't insult bowler hat Guy is funny charming sympathetic everything Disney isn't
The creators working on the film must have done that on purpose as a subtle diss aimed at Disney executives and I applaud them for it 👏
Wish's message:
"JuSt KeEp WiShing!"
EXACTLY
About that "It's a kid movie!! If you're an adult and don't like it, it isn't for you!", when it came out on Disney+ and my family watched it, my little siblings (5 and 8!) asked them to turn it off because they didn't like it MULTIPLE TIMES and went off to watch the amazing world of gumball in the basement
Also, Disney films have never been for kids and only for kids. They are *family* movies, aka enjoyable for all audiences. And Wish clearly failed at appealing to its whole audience.
@@ryckhpae so true! i also hate the idea that because "it's made for kids" that it can't be a good movie or good piece of media. kids aren't stupid and people forget they're intelligent too and can understand when something is half-baked or not good
@@Hibgiddty Exactly! I hate that excuse too.
"Its a kids movie" is just the weakest argument in the world, and its also just _insulting_ to kids. Like, do kids not deserve to watch GOOD movies too? They're in the formative years, why should they have to watch garbage?
this is an anniversary movie. It references things over the span of 100 years. You stop being a child at 18. If it references things made before 2005, it's referencing media within the childhoods of people who are now adults. So the people most likely to know of and engage with those references would be adults. Therefore, this movie was made understanding it would be watched by adults.
I don't think that argument ever holds water, but if ever there was a place to take a stand with it, it isn't on the 100 year anniversary movie.
WATCH OUT WORLD HERE I ARE
please dont remind me that lyric exists
NO! BAD! 🔪
FELT THIS NO I HAVNT
Can’t you tell the lyrics are rushed?
I need someone to make a video on this lyric and have the reaction be that one video of a drunk guy falling down the stairs. That’s exactly how I felt when reading and listening to this second grade writing.
YOU KNOW WHO'S LOOKING SHARP?
WHO?
MEEEEE I'M A STAR
I remember when the trailer was released and I thought the big twist was going to be that years earlier the king made a wish to bring back his dead wife and that he needed the magic from everyone’s wishes to keep his wife alive ….I like my version better
Literally everybody else's version is better.
Miraculous Ladybug.
@@a-s-greig hahaha
I like the version where the king is a demon lord who has figured out how to extract desires and consume them, and moved in to a town and completely excised many vices and compulsions from the population, by consuming those desires.
Damnmmmmn you could go to so many routes with that. Do they remain evil and continue feeding on their vices and desires purely because of power and they use the citizens' gratitude as a shield to prosecutors that try to expose them? Do they slowly get a change of heart because of how grateful the community is to them and then genuinely wants to help them?
People weren't kidding when they said literally anything else is better than whatever Wish was lol
You know it’s bad when whenever I try to remember the villain song all I can remember is “How Bad Can I Be”from the Lorax movie
amazing
Oh, & just like Wish's scrapped concepts, the "How Bad Can I Be?" song in the Lorax replaced a scrapped song called "Biggering", an amazing song.
@@amandamakin1542 Biggering has been one of my favorite songs ever since it was added to Spotify, lemme tell u it’s a crime that it wasn’t in the movie. Ig it was too real 😔

I cant believe this movie came out in November
It feels so recent, yet a distant memory
Exactly. It came out in November and ppl are STILL throwing tantrums over a film that isn’t even as bad as people say it is
@@sleepylionking1103 compared to other Disney movies, as something that supposed to represent all of them, Its definitely that bad
It feels like a long time ago to me
@@sleepylionking1103 the art direction is bad, bland colors (not to mention why they didnt pay homage to their 2d animation by making it so, probably to try and ignore it after they killed it off with the deliberately shit marketing of The princess and the frog). Plus excpetionally bad songs (not even by disney standards), bad plot, bad character designs + useless ones along with incompetent storytelling. Doesnt help that the main character is an overly 'quirky princess' type, you wouldve thought they'd nailed her considering the 100 ones that came before her but shes bad.
It really is just 100 years of cameos stuck together with some duct tape and a wish
@@sleepylionking1103 "Here I are"
Love how Puss in Boots: The Last Wish was released the year prior by Dreamworks and also had a fairytale basis, an entertainingly evil villain that pays homage to classic Disney villains, and the wishing star, but is actually really good and far more special of a film
This is infuriating honestly, because Disney always place itself at the top of animated movies, and yet, Dreamworks has also made some gorgeous, funny, beloved movies, and they are still trying differents things animation-wise, and they're a way smaller company, while Disney is LOADED and yet they just gave up on creativity. Like, they have the money and the means, they totally COULD make an amazing movie like Puss in Boots 2 or even something like the Spiderverse movies from Sony, they just don't want to!
@@LeoDBW I couldn't agree more, my friend! It's like you took my words and typed them. I feel the same way, DreamWorks is way better of a company. Disney is and has always been so overrated. I love DreamWorks, but I love other animated company movies too (Aardman is one I really love in particular, that worked with DreamWorks to make Chicken Run, which is my favorite DreamWorks movie)
Disney shouldve taken notes from the success of The Last Wish, but they still keep failing so hard
@@LeoDBW I just prefer watching DreamWorks movies at this point

No joke, I just asked chat gpt to write me a Disney villain song with this prompt exactly "can you write me a song sung by a classic egotistical Disney villain who feels underapreciated?" it was called the glory I deserve. I read that and then put myself through the hell of reading the lyrics for "this is the thanks I get" and I kid you not, chat gpt's version was *better*
The title alone sounds better. The Glory I Deserve sounds like the title to a song Jafar or Scar would sing.
The glory I deserve is absolutely a better title. Kinda makes me think of a person who wants the fame and fortune of being a hero but slowly descends into a darker path is their search for glory.
Surely tell us the lyrics
@@rdxdd of course. This is copy pasted directly from the chat
(Verse 1)
In the shadows I’ve been dwelling,
While those fools steal all the praise,
I’m the mastermind, the genius,
But they give me no displays.
They laugh and cheer for heroes,
While my brilliance goes unseen,
I’m the one who pulls the strings here,
Yet they treat me so obscene.
(Chorus)
Oh, the glory I deserve,
Is a crown and throne of gold,
For my cunning and my vision,
In the stories yet untold.
They'll see the truth, they'll see the light,
When I rise above the fray,
For the glory I deserve,
I will seize it all today.
(Verse 2)
In the darkness, I have plotted,
Every scheme so grand and bold,
But they only see the surface,
Of the tales that I unfold.
Their applause is misdirected,
To the ones who play it safe,
I’m the architect of chaos,
And the world I’ll soon reshape.
(Chorus)
Oh, the glory I deserve,
Is a crown and throne of gold,
For my cunning and my vision,
In the stories yet untold.
They'll see the truth, they'll see the light,
When I rise above the fray,
For the glory I deserve,
I will seize it all today.
(Bridge)
When the curtains fall, and they see it all,
They’ll bow to my command,
For the puppet master’s victory,
Is a fate they’ll understand.
(Chorus)
Oh, the glory I deserve,
Is a crown and throne of gold,
For my cunning and my vision,
In the stories yet untold.
They'll see the truth, they'll see the light,
When I rise above the fray,
For the glory I deserve,
I will seize it all today.
(Outro)
Yes, the glory I deserve,
In the end, it will be mine,
For the world will see my brilliance,
And they'll know I am divine.
BRO TELL US THE LYRICS PLEASE 🙏 🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭😭
The fact that the fandom for Wish is around the storyboards and not the final product says lot
Still can't get over the fact that Magnifico, a traumatized man with paranoia, got possessed by evil magic because of his paranoia, because he wanted to avoid his trauma repeating, and HE'S THE VILLAIN WHO GETS LOCKED AWAY AND ISOLATED
While Asha, a teenager who complains when she literally lives in a perfect world, and thinks granting every single wish is okay for some reason, and literally destroyed all of the king's work, is the good one???
Asha is a horrible person, and it shows
I now want the movie to have this plot:
Asha, in a burst of careless chaos, tries to figure out how to grant wishes herself. She takes an innocent-looking wish and grants it. However, the wish turned the wisher into an absolutely reprehensible villain. Asha has character growth, realizing that Magnifico protected her so well, she couldn't conceive of any bad outcomes. She sets off to extract the wish from the new villain, unsure if it can even be done...
Thanks for the plot bunnies!
I'm so angry when people "say it's a kids movie don't complain" kids deserve quality content, heck they need it, because of all the brainrot content that's on youtube!
Wish’s cgi was bought from wish
you gotta watch it on a higher resolution. the texture changes it
💀
💀
Whenever I go to Target, I STILL see Wish's merchandise in the toy section. Like I am not kidding. Everyday I browse the toy isle at Target, I ALWAYS keep encountering Wish's merch, just waiting to be bought but instead collecting cobwebs and dust.
Yeah me too
Is it in the same failure-aisle as James Cameron Avatar merch?
Heard that stuff got discounted *fast*
I often see Wish merch on sale for 30% off at the Disney Store in NYC. That place NEVER puts anything on sale.
LITERALLY like if that isn't the biggest tell for how bad this movie capital f Flopped. Those sections are always ravaged, maybe one little plush left knocked over. Everytime I go to the toy section, Wish's merch looks like the staff set it up once and haven't touched it since
Exactly! And I work there, so I see the wish stuff every single weekend, taking up an entire shelf. It’s been there since the film came out.
I choose to believe that Once Upon a Studio is the real 100th anniversary film
Yes. That short was infinitely better than Wish in every way
I actually cried while watching it like i love Oswald the lucky rabbit SO MUCH and i got so happy to see him have that small interaction with Mickey
When I heard the first notes of “Feed the Birds” and Mickey looked up at Walt, that was the fastest I’ve ever cried. Insta-tears rolling down my cheeks. THAT was an honorable tribute to Disney.
Granted, I'm not as mouth-frothingly furious as many others are about this movie, but:
1) I wish they would've kept it so that Magnifico and Amaya were BOTH the villains. It'd be a nice subversion of the power of love always being on the heroes' side. They could've made their backstory so that, after spending their entire lives being ignored by the world, they both learned wish-granting magic and founded their kingdom in order to get the approval of others. Then at end, when they are both about to be trapped in the mirror, they realize what they really wanted was to FEEL wanted, which they already had since they wanted each other and no one else. Cue bittersweet ending where they are both trapped forever, but at least they are trapped together and will never feel unwanted again.
2) If Asha and Starboy really were supposed to be a romantic couple (I'm not completely sure if that was the original plan) and Asha being given a magic wand implies that she's going to become the Fairy Godmother, imagine how sweet that would be for the Fairy Godmother's backstory. That the source of her magic is that she and the wishing star are in love, and together, they use their love-powered magic to make people's seemingly impossible dreams come true.
This movie went in the chicken little route by scrapping a lot of the original concepts for the movie in order to do what they thought general audiences would want. Like how chicken little was a girl with both parents learning to overcome her fears.
Wait, really?
That was a thing!???
And instead we got Buck Cluck
@@deen7530and aliens
Disney try to not make a character with 1 or both parents missing(potentially dead) challenge(impossible)
Also where are the bad wishes? What if someone wishes for something terrible to happen and Asha saw one of those bad wishes and was like “OHHHHH!!!! The king has a valid reason not to grant some wishes!”
Right?! That's been the thing that's been bugging me about the debate on if Asha or Magifico were right. Their points really don't matter within the movie because Rosas is just a generic utopia, and the city seems practically the same whether or not the people's wishes are granted
why did they frame him like this when he's literally right?! just make him the hero why is that so hard Disney.
Magnifico's logic: "Lets not grant potentially harmful wishes and let them forget so they don't try to carry it out themselves"
Asha's logic: "Let's grant their wishes and only stop them if it's dangerous, you know instead of preventing it in the first palce"
There should absolutely have been bad wishes present for Asha to stumble upon. Granted that "bad" can occasionally be subjective- like wishing for oneself to never feel pain may not seem too bad to the person who wished it but might cause future problems- but you can't tell me no one in Rosas has ever had bad thoughts, enough to make it into wishes. Not a single person in Rosas wishing to be with someone against their will? Wanting to be the ONLY person good at something? Maybe a little bit of narcissistic greed? C'mon now. You wouldn't JUST move to Rosas to try and get pure-hearted wishes granted; you go to Rosas because you want a wish you never can or never wish to fulfill yourself. Trying to push the agenda that only VERY specific people have bad and selfish wishes is one of many bad messages this movie has.
@@eaglefan2569 I hope this was done on purpose to show kids in a sequel what it means to take down a country because you think you know everything. And teach Asha what it means to stumble upon REAL bad people.
1:32 When I saw the Queen talk to Magnifico for the first time, right after we saw him do a bit of alchemy, I pointed at the screen and yelled "LOVE POTION! She's been fed a LOVE POTION!" Still a bit annoyed they didn't go with that.
Literally everyone has come up with a better idea for this movie than the actual filmmakers
i heard that there were plans for the queen to also be evil rather than just an enabler, and honestly that would have been so much cooler. we could have had a disney villain power couple?? we were robbed tbh
@jasperjazzie I'm glad they scrapped the villain couple, just have Amaya kiss him already
The one person being angry that Meet the Robinsons was left out of the end credits is so real. That made me mad too.
Wish may been bad, but..at least it granted a wish to artists, storytellers, music writers and many more inspired by its concepts, like we been ✨ROBBED✨
How do you KNOW those concepts would have worked better? It's a moot point, because they aren't in the final product!
@@gamestation2690 Yeah but thats why fanfics are a thing!
Lets see what occurs with them!
I just wish the animators and writers who proposed those concepts had gotten their wish to have them in a film :/
@@thoughtsofaleo2916 Maybe they were cut for a good reason.
I remember when this movie released, a lot of fan content was made, NOT for the actual movie, but for fans fixing Disney's blunder, and all I thought was:
"Huh, so we're just doing High Guardian Spice all over again"
Even then you could argue that high guardian had at least two or three somewhat likable and memorable characters
i miss you starboy
10:10 kids deserve better. And we, the kids who never grew up, deserve better too
Agreed! I was never a Disney kid, but I'm one of those "adults who never grew up" because I do like childish things, I just never cared for Disney that much, other than going through a Frozen phase when I was like 11-12
0:56 WE COULD’VE HAD REPRESENTATION FOR DEAF PEOPLE AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Disney: I'll kidnap a thousand [disabled characters from the drawing board] before I let this company die!
I think he was supposed to be mute
This was the same animation studio that was ballsy enough to make something as dark as the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
i WISH this movie was good
HERO
The prophecy became true with this one
That last review that said "I hate when adults watch movies for kids and complain."
Bruh, Disney himself said his movies were for *e v e r y o n e*
"I let you live here for free and I don't even charge you rent" still pisses me off. Like, you do know that not charging rent and living for free mean the same thing right?
Take a breather for a second on that one, because it's the _attitude of entitlement_ that's reinforced upon the repetition of the concept.
The _superiority complex_ is the point. That he feels _deserving_ of collecting something from them, even for while and why he _doesn't_ overtly demand something from them that society and the law would _otherwise see him in the _*_right_*_ for having had done,_ and that _he himself likely _*_could_*_ do without significant repercussions._
I mean there's other expenses for living in a place besides rent/mortgage/property tax.
Utilities, food and other consumables, maintenance, and insurance, just to name a few.
I agree It's a bit odd to phrase it that way, but, it's not nonsensical
@@aprinnyonbreak1290 Yeah, if the lyric was something along the lines of "I let you live here with me, and I don't charge you for anything, not even rent." I would have made more sense.

Wish is like the La Croix of disney movies. You watch it and you get the sensation of a good plot being thought up in the shower but the details had become clumsy and hazy by the time it was committed to paper.
I’m honestly tempted to watch Wish and see if it’s as bad as people keep saying it is, but the last time I watched something to see if it was as bad as people kept saying it was, I subjected my family to a movie so overwhelmingly bad that they STILL won’t tell me the Netflix password.

@@flakky55 Same, except for me it was Danny Gonzalez
I’m a king Magnifico defender, he genuinely had a point with the whole “wishes can be dangerous” thing because a lot of people sadly aren’t good people. Not to mention the movie forgot that this dude was literally a victim whose entire nation was destroyed because of bad people when he was younger. He wasn’t evil, he was doing this to protect them. The movie did a real bad job with his character because one minute he is a genuinely good guy then he becomes a prick way before he gets ahold of the book. And he seemed to genuinely care about wishes and keeping peace so why all of the sudden “oh it’s a lie I’m actually selfish muahaha”. It’s like they couldn’t pick a side, either make the dude a villain or not Disney. Also I actually liked Chris Pines acting in this, there were points in the movie he sounded like an actual man losing his sanity and that was one of the few things I liked about the movie. Other than that it just made me so upset how they absolutely destroyed an amazing concept. I would have loved if they made both Magnifico and the queen a purely evil couple who just wanted magic and power. If they made him a misunderstood character who wasn’t the villain but made out to be I think it would have been awesome if after he started going insane with his magic his wife and to give him true loves kiss to save him. A switch in the kissing the princess to save her trope would have been adorable but nope. Disney fumbled hard, I’m really hoping they see the hate they got and decide to remake the movie because a concept like they had before should not go unused.
"Have you heard anything people have been saying about Wish?"
"People are talking about Wish?!"
That on person at 9:50 talks crap about adults talking about children's shows as if the people talking crap about this movie aren't disappointed that Wish came out of a studio that had otherwise enchanted them since they were kids themselves.
If Disney movies were the suite of the most delectable deserts ranging from tiramisu to Tres Leche cake, Chocolate mousse to Crème Brule, Lemon tarts to Apple Crumble, Wish would be a dry fruitcake that your weird uncle got offended over when the rest of the family didn't enjoy it at Christmas dinner.
Was looking for someone talking about that person, like good for them for enjoying it but there's a reason people hate it, it's meant to be such an important movie but isn't even on the same level as Beauty & The Beast, The Little Mermaid, Snow White, etc
I’ve always thought that Asha and Magnifico should switch places. Asha is the Princess of Rosas and her father’s the one who grants wishes. Magnifico is the poor citizen who couldn’t get his wish granted (his wish was to be loved and praised). So he wishes upon a star and that star is Amaya. He then starts to steal wishes and giving them away for free. Not realizing what he is doing is wrong. But it’s not like he cares. He just cares about the fame. This would make, “And This Is The Thanks I Get?” A better villain song.
Also, Magnifico took over the castle. Sends Asha’s father to prison. And Asha ran away to her friend Dalia’s house. After hiding there for a long time, Asha wishes upon another star to help her. That being Starboy.
THIS. THIS ONE RIGHT HERE. Congratulations, you're rewrite is my favorite form now on.
I want to write this fanfic but I’m worried I’d screw it up.
Actually, you know what? It can’t be worse than the actual movie.
i actually had no idea that wish was released for disney’s 100th anniversary, i guess the movie
shows how far disney has fallen from glory!
As a Oswald the lucky rabbit fan im so pissed! Im still salty about the fact that Disney is just giving Oswald crumbs but not giving him the spotlight in the 100th anniversary?! Like cmon! He deserves it!!!

Absolute DEPRAVED DOG behaviour
And i applaud them
“Other” peploe who think the same tiwards a “certain” character from a “ceartain” “other” tv show: 😮
They confirmed the song started as a love song and retooled it when there was no longer a love interest
That's actually sad :,(
"At All Costs" is definitely the best song from the movie, and I much prefer the demo version that uses "Love" instead of "Promise".
It's a big shame that one of Disney's most romantic, beautiful musical numbers got wasted on this garbage ):
- Disney releases mediocre film for 100th anniversary in 2023
- Mickey Mouse (Steamboat Willie) enters public domain in 2024
Feels almost poetic
I was enjoying their downfall LOL I heard Inside Out 2 really brought them back up tho (at least Inside Out 2 was more enjoyable tho)
I love Mickey Mouse but i hate Disney like im glad a part of Mickey is free from that ugly company, i hope that he finds a place where his true potential is explored like what Epic Mickey did
My ass was DYING when I was like "WAIT WHY IS HE KINDA..." I'm glad to see I'm not alone, and that some people have equally as low standards.
SAME LMFAOOOO
I'm glad another person said the king was a tumblr sexyman.....
I thought so when I first saw the character but didn't want to cause drama.
Half the comments are just ppl simping for magnifico😭
He's not low standard tho
What is a tumblr sexy man anyways?
Yeah I thought that too whenever I saw the teaser but then I actually watched the movie and was like.... yeah thats the guy. The wolf guy from puss in boots is better
1: Disney probably has an ip that tells what this movie was trying to say way better
2: The writers of this movie were either on drugs or using ai and every day it feels more like the latter
3: i'm suprised joey hasnt done lalaloopsy movie reviews yet, considering she's done multiple other girl-orientated media
I agree with you! But I also wanna mention two things for more context:
About 1: yep, plenty of them actually touch some of the themes way better (and they're more than 1 bc they went and made Wish's message be ambiguous and vague af, another writing fail). The 2 who touch the most similar thematics are Enchanted and Princess and the Frog, both also have a Cynical vs Idealistic debate in the main characters, just like Wish does (difference being again that Wish does it terribly, painting idealism as the ONLY right point of view and cynicism as a mindset only _e v i l_ people have)
In regards of 2: to be fair, the writers did have great ideas, and had already written most, if not the entire movie, before executive meddling did what it usually does and threw everything to the trash at last minute, forcing writers to create an entirely new story that followed all their unreasonable demands within an even shorter deadline. Same happened with the songs, there's been pop artists writing for Disney movies before, and they were never bad at it, not at all, much less THIS bad. To be fair to Julia Michaels, she was given extremely little time (iirc, 2 weeks) and little to no info about the movie's plot, themes, elements, characters, or anything, all of the songs were released almost exactly as they were in their rough draft/prototype versions, which in any normal production is an absolute no-no.
All in all, it seems Disney set themselves up for failure. At this rate, I would 100% believe if someone told me the executives over there have some sort of money/prestige-losing fetish or something, what with how jolly they act about making absolute garbage that they already know won't get them much fans adoration nor money all the time.
And by drugs they were probably on pixie dust, the bad kind
Dude
Hearing someone say lalaloopsy again just gave me whiplash
I forgot all about it but i was obsessed with it as a kid
2:45 sofia the first episodes at least cared about having a plot
“Man I wish Disney made a actual villain again, we haven’t had one since Tamatoa”
*Monkey’s Paw curls*

Walt Disney is shaking in his grave
Walt disney is shaking in his cryochamber.
I think people forget is that Wish wasn't marketed as a Kids Movie it was marketed as a movie for everyone. Therefore it should have a decent ass plot that everyone should enjoy (or at the very least the average joe should enjoy). If they wanted to make a purely kids movie they could have done that but they made the mistake of advertising it to everyone therefore it got criticism as such, animation is not a genre it's a method of delivery and disney did not deliver
People don't understand the difference between a "Kids movie" (usually aimed at toddlers to 6 year olds) and a "family movie" which is what Disney makes. Family movies are supposed to work for all ages.
I feel like they marketed more towards the Disney adults who were obsessed with the old movies they watched a s a kid and still don't realize what's wrong with some of them
that intro had me thinking this was fiction until i realized this was the real world and this flop actually happened
You know when a rapper makes the best sample you’ve ever heard, posts it on social media as a teaser for their new song, and then completely changes and ruins the sample when the song actually releases?
Yeah, that’s about how I’d describe this movie
Now that everyone knows that we could’ve had Starboy with an amazing romance with Asha and a Disney villain couple, which would’ve been King magnifico and his wife that would’ve been the best story in forever, and Starboy would’ve been loved by all needless to say everyone’s disappointed (edited to make more sense) the CONCEPT WAS BETTER 😭😭😭
I waited 100 years for this and this is the thanks i get??
9:22 they also forgot most package films, Black Cauldron and Rescuers... BUT THEY GOT CHICKEN LITTLE AND DINOSAUR, WOOHOO
Ugh, they HAD to remind us that Chicken Little exists...
@@amandamakin1542Speaking of which, my personal theory on the scathing hate against Wish is that it has mostly stemmed from millennials who easily see the hand-drawn medium through rose-colored glasses and often associate that particular medium with the ones they grew up with, which are most notably the Disney classics, the Disney Renaissance, and the 80s Don Bluth films. That particular generation must’ve been what most of Princess and the Frog’s revenue was presumably garnered from.
@@SaraHouck461 kinda, most people agree that most pre-renaissance movies kind of sucked for most, so it's not really 2d = good but 3d = bad, but it's also the fact this movie was hypes up has an homage to those renaissance movies.
At least Princess and the frog had the charm of a renaissance movie, à great villain, good music, Lively world
Why did they remember dinosaur? The whole “film” was just WALKING
@Chaki21 Apparently the suits at Disney were under the impression that having the word "princess" in the title made it seem like it was for a female audience, which was the same for the 2011 in which they thought it was for a preschool audience, hence the reason why their Rapunzel and Snow Queen adaptations are now under the Tangled and Frozen monikers respectively, the latter of which became their feature animation division's first juggernaut of a success since The Lion King.
We waited 100 years for lyrics like
“Watch out world here I are” 😭😭😭
Here we are was *right there*
Who the hell has been around for 100 years
I think this movie wouldn't have been as vehemently hated and just written off as "mediocre" had it not been hyped up as Disney's 100th anniversary movie. Not saying it was GOOD, but I've definitely seen worse (*cough Chicken Little cough*). Still should have been much better.
This movie had the nerve to put Chicken Little in the credits, too as one of the constellations.
I don't mind Chicken Little honestly, but I agree there are worse Disney movies than this. Tbh, the ones I have the biggest issues with are Peter Pan, Snow white, and Little Mermaid, I don't think they aged well
imo dude disney would've made so much more money if they just turned vat7k into a show
REAL
FR but they wldve probably made varian and Hugo long lost siblings or something
what's that?
Yes! They should’ve greenlit Vat7K, though I think everybody else already made Vat7K already.
@@lucas-hw6jm Varian and the Seven Kingdoms was a concept for a Tangeled the Series sequel series following Varian and a few other characters going on a quest to find a library with infinite knowledge (I think?). The series was never green lit but there’s a fic on AO3 that’s the same idea.
Imagine being immortal and being around since the start of Disney, you wait 100 years for their anniversary release… and get Wish.
Ironically, the best part of the movie was the background music, and that WAS done by someone who did those Direct-to-DVD sequels.
Honestly, I liked the movie
Not because is good, but because it reminded me of the fanfics I wrote when I was 11 years old
Maybe I just now realized that I compared Disney screenwriters to 11 year olds on AO3
I need more wish comment ratings that only talk about how hot king magnifico is lol
Same tbh
He's fine af and also intelligent, his wife couldn't even see that. He deserved a better woman.
Have you ever wondered why you look up at the sky?
You make your wish and suddenly it's ....
A really wordy song!
It's a wordy song! A song you wouldn't think is Disney. A song that just sounds wrong. A song that makes you wish you had no kidneys.
Wait, no. This has too much proper rhythm
The plot to this movie is basically Paper Mario
Paper Mario: An evil king (Bowser) has taken over everyone’s wishes. So (Mario) encounters a star kid. And several friends along the way help with (Mario) to stop the king.
Wish: An evil king (the Chris Pine character) has taken over everyone’s wishes. So (Asha) encounters a star kid. And several friends along the way help with (Asha) to stop the king.
The big difference though is that in Paper Mario, the Star Spirits clearly state that they sometimes get some horrible and selfish wishes that are never granted for obvious reasons, and that's why Bowser stole the Star Rod because he was angry that his wishes to kill Mario and his wishes to make Princess Peach love him were being ungranted. But in Wish, the movie's lesson is "everyone deserves to have their wishes granted!"
They are also very paper thin
crazy that a game about _literal_ paper-thin characters STILL managed to do the plot better more than 20 years prior.
0:36 Wise words from the wonderful Emoji Movie Channel.
I know why Disney fucked up Wish. It’s because in the end credits, they putted Ichabod Crane instead of Mr Toad. Mr Toad is obviesly more popular and more likeable than Ichabod and it didn’t make sense for Disney to include their worst character from The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr Toad. Please answer me.
They used Yokai to rep Big Hero 6 instead of Baymax. Choices!
@@bemiatto67 They used Ichabod to represent The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr Toad. Even though Mr Toad is more popular than it!
I knew nothing about the movie going in, and was convinced the star was some extraterrestrial deity that grants animals sentience and turns wishes into nightmares like Bloodborne. Fuck star boy I want cosmic horror.
Also I watched this with my friend in an empty theatre so we could bark at Magnifico cuz he is Daddy™️
4:12 OK that review is *incredible.* "Be careful what you wish for."
This is the exact definition of Disappointment in the game of life
Also, why does the llama sound like Markiplier?
i literally JUST checked this channel and then saw this
my rebuttal to the Frozen 2 comment: Wish was intensely hyped up by Disney, and since it was Disney's 100 year anniversary, people were expecting something at least decent. it kept getting hyped up as the SPECTACULAR movie with BRAND NEW CONCEPTS that Disney has NEVER DONE BEFORE. and when it came out as this aggressively bland, boring piece of cooperate slop, people got _pissed._ it's Disney's 100 year anniversary, and _this_ is the final product? _THIS???_ it isn't even terrible or anything, it's just so painfully mediocre for such a big milestone
also i was on the Frozen 2 hate train since the moment i saw it, that movie sucked
I haven't even seen this movie but after hearing the concepts/ideas they tossed out and then finding out what the ACTUAL plot is I'm so disappointed in Disney. They clearly have talented people with original ideas working for them yet they cannot seem to let them just do their thing and take worthwhile risks. Disney is an empire at this point and I want more competition and for smaller studios to thrive but I do hope Disney can learn from this or at least acknowledge what people are saying. They're gonna lose more and more people if they keep this up.
“Give everyone everything they want!”
“No.”
“Then you’re evil!”
That’s the plot, btw
A fitting name, because it look's exactly like something you would get off wish.
I always love these types of jokes with this movie. 😊
Ring ring, Star Darlings called, they want their originality back
I went back on the movie the second I heard "Watch out world, here I are."
If they have kept Star Boy, they can do a plot twist that Magnifico is actually the Queen’s wish aka. Star Man. He may have been twisted because one of the Queen’s wishes, for example.
What wish should have been:
>More detailed
> More emotions
> better story plot + characters
> better villain
> and different personality's
A new Tonka Joey video?
Watch out world, here I are.
6:08 JUST STOP CAMEO IN A TONKA JOEY VIDEO?! I’m going crazy rn
I'm so mad they didn't have Magnifico and Amaya as a villain couple. I adore villain couples! And I'm extra sad they didn't make Asha their daughter for that extra angst.
It was supposed to happen but like StarBoy we got robbed
@@JonathanGaeta I know, and I'm forever angry
On the topic of Asha's "adorkable quirkiness", Characters like Rapunzel Anna and Mirabel actually had reasons behind that kind of personality
Rapunzel
-Was virtually completely isolated from the outside world with her only form of human interaction being her mentally abusive kidnapper/"adoptive mother"
Anna
-Both of her parents died in a tragic accident when she was a child and her only other living family member that she knew Isolated herself from her/refused to interact with her
Mirabel
-Powerless black sheep Born into a super magical family resulting in Middle child syndrome on a wider familial scale
Asha
-Creators thought it would make her more appealing and relatable I guess?
Exactly! You doi have good points, I wouldn't exactly call Rapunzel quirky, but she's got a cute personality. However, Asha is a teen and we can't make teen characters like the "sit still, look pretty" princesses from the old movies like Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. And they didn't want Asha to be a tough tomboy like Merida and Moana, so they were kind of running out of ideas?
@@jocelynecupcake I honestly really wish (pun intended) that they gave Asha a blunt, no-nonsense personality because we’ve never really seen that in any of the princesses before
Wish is so tragic in many ways. Especially erased concepts like Star Boy. Even though they made it so the movie no longer had a romance in it, I still feel that we are missing part of the story. Fanart and fanworks have worked on Starboy and Asha’s relationship that it feels like their romance was ripped away from them and now we have a very meta love story in a sense. Like it feels like it was meant to happen but then it just didn’t and now it’s actually really sad. Starboy was robbed from us and Asha.
Agreed. It's not even that romance stories are superior or anything. But the final product barely compensates for the change in direction and instead just makes itself a shell of its previous concept.
to quote me in the comments of a different video:
"we had 2 Valentinos in a few months. One is a perfectly hateable villain, the other is a moth demon overlord"
They robbed us a cute couple, the Star Boy was going to be the more energetic and funny main character while Asha was going to be the serious one, so no "quirky girl without an actual personality".
Also, a villain power couple! Like, c'mon Disney...
Can’t believe they wasted a perfectly good Chris Pine like this smh 😔
6:22 CARTOONSHI MENTION 🗣️🔥🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🗣️
9:00 this is one of the best reviews here tbh. Not just because this person has a point but also because it has that extra insulting edge to Disney saying “We don’t give a shit about seeing a character from Strange World on here.” and how they could’ve added Meet the Robinsons
I got into an argument with my brother about Magnifico as a villain. He said he was glad Magnifico was evil the whole time instead of being another twist villain, which I disputed saying the twist villain formula was still there, it just happened earlier in the movie. He had the time to be evil, but he still snapped at the drop of a hat
5:35 I will not stand for the Frozen 2 slander. It’s not a convoluted movie, it’s pretty damn straightforward, it just has an annoying romantic subplot and some underdeveloped side characters.
Music was good too. Into the Unknown and Show Yourself are fantastic numbers and the continuous melodic through-line in all the songs is simple but brilliant. They were clearly trying to outdo the first movie in that regard, and the effort shows.
9:01 They also forgot Enchanted, although not fully, but it was at least partially animated 😭😭
5:49 Awesome spongebob reference there
they turned my starboy into a marketable plushie
Wish (2023) made me so mad, I decided to rewrite it. It's still in WIP however, but every video on Wish compells me further
I will forever recommend not to watch this movie, and my reasoning will always be that there's no substance. It's just 90 minutes of Disney sucking themselves off for being Disney.
i’m gonna be real with y’all, the design for the Star we ended up getting is sorta cute but in a vacuum/removed from the original context. like, i’m mad we didn’t get Starboy, but if the canon Star was in something else then i probably wouldn’t mind them that much
