#Wish #Disney - Розваги
It really doesn’t help that Disney fired veteran animators and put inexperienced animators in charge of the whole movie.
And also hiring based on ESG and DEI
if they didn't fired the veteran animators and storytellers this trash would be twice the tragedy good looking sparkling garbage is still garbage.
The bigger problem is the script, Disney’s writing room is dead across its all studios.
Come on dude, they had a good reason for that... Most of them are white dudes and the remaining cost too much money... Now you see how it makes sense now... Don't worry, you just don't have big brains like Disney... That's why you're not succeeding with the same speed Disney is succeeding and with that mindset, I hope you never will... People like you just like merit and quality like some sort of fascist... Smh...
Even if they didn't, I don't think it would have helped. Wish's main problem outside its animation is its script.
the concept art is literally better than the story, once you look at the concepts you feel so robbed.
The concept & visual artists are the only ones who need some level of talent, so of course their ideas are better than what the movie ended up to be.
Yep and Asha was originally going to be magnificos daughter.
I'm so annoyed we didn't get the concept art story that I'm writing my own musical movie where we do because that concept needs to exist.
@@Kelsey1987Also, the star was supposed to be a shape shifter and possibly her love interest
I think the queen in this movie was originally going to be evil just like her husband, which feels like such missed potential. We could have had Disney's first villainous power couple! What A Waste! 😒
I hope this movie killed the "Quirky Adorkable Heroine" trope Disney loves so much.
They won't learn. That trope was boring the first time we saw it
Yep! Also bring back 2D animation! I am SICK of Disney constantly reusing Tangled’s artstyle and flat out refusing to change it for something else. I didn’t mind it up until Moana, and arguably Encanto did really great with Tangled’s style. But I am tired of the movies looking like you could easily put Rapunzel and Flynn or Elsa and Anna in it as part of the actual story and no one would be bothered by it because the world is designed to coexist with other movies. The Mickey Mouse short with the cameo including underrated movies was waay better because they kept true to each movie’s artstyle instead of trying to redesign all of them to make them more cohesive, similar to the Disney Princesses in the Wreck it Ralph sequel. I adore the scene, BUT I DESPISED they forcibly changed certain characters’ designs to make them fit the more cartoony style of Wreck It Ralph, especially Pocahontas, Cinderella and Jasmine
@@osets2117 Rapunzel was the first, and should have been the last. At least her behaving the way she had made sense, seeing as her only other social interaction before Eugene was with Mother Gothel and her lizard companion.
@@madamefluffy4788 I agree with that
Agreed. This is why Wreck It Ralph is my favorite Disney Revel movie. It actually has characters that feel different and not look the same.(looking at you, Frozen, Moana, and Enconto)
I like how they wanted it to look and feel like a 2d animated movie but just ended up making it look like a cheap and unfinished 3d animated movie that somehow cost more than both Spider verse movies.
Nah, that can't be right
*googles it
Holy sh*t
And aren't even close to making back the money they spent on the movie/marketing (the film cost between $170/200 million to make, and they only made $49 million on their opening weekend).
@@madamefluffy4788 Is that including the early previews from the week prior? I heard those were being included in all the numbers for on Friday to boost the take, so the "first weekend" was really the "first week".
it's like all Disney got out of the success of the Spider-Verse films was "3D + 2D = profit" and not "real, actual passion resonates with audiences more than watered down, milquetoast slop aimed at the lowest common denominator." But like................. good try, guys.... I guess...
@@madamefluffy4788 This movie had marketing? Literally I haven't seen any actual ads for it since like, the first trailer.
I didn't even know it was out until today when I saw a video complaining about the soundtrack.
Based on the synopsis, I assumed the villain would end up being an anti-hero/hero and the main character would learn and realise that not all wishes should be granted as not all wishes are pure/innocent, or something.
In a normal universe where the movie was made by people with working moral compass it would be a thing.
But we are living in a reverse-verse where villains are more heroic or reletable than her-oes.
That would have actually been a good plot with a valuable message, a bit like Aladdin's dilemma. But modern Disney is much dumber and woker, so we get Wish instead.
Yeah we got Wish at home.
_Wish at home_
Yeah, but that would have required more thought than 'Evil king is evil because the movie needs a villain!'
If this movie was written by competent writers, yes...but these writers were not competent.
The Villain is the good guy, he is right though: It's his magic and at the end of the day some wishes should not be granted since some of them are downright evil or terrifying and will endanger his kingdom.
And some of these people don't need wishes granted, they just need to learn and practice instead and they will be able to make their own wishes come true with hard work. And the Grandfather's wish is so bland and just very undefined that you can't grant that wish,' I want to inspire the young' yeah okay, inspire them how or to do what? It is never stated, inspire them to overthrow the Kingdom maybe?
The King has to grant wishes which will benefit the Kingdom, the Kingdom he made and people live peacefully and safely in as well, he don't even charge them rent.
And yet people will insist he's evil because how dare he keep wishes that can't be granted - the same wishes that the people made because they lacked the ambition to make their own wishes come true.
Kind of like paying off your own school debt instead of wishing others would do it for you.
Very communist.. 'our magic'
@@Kyle-sr6jm I feel like that's maybe the worst example you could've gone with? For a lot of reasons mind you, but the most ironic one being that students and graduates do in-fact still have to pay rent, lol.
He’s also a bit benevolent in the fact that he can make people forget their wishes like what if some one goes I wish to murder my whole family, I would be like yeah your not remembering you ever wished for that too.
Your ranting made me remember: over the weekend I showed my son Who Framed Roger Rabbit. I’m an animator , illustrator, storyteller and he is aspiring to become likewise. He loved the movie. After it was over I explained to him the importance of set up and payoff, and went back to show him examples in the movie. And also the incredible total visual storytelling where we get the full backstory of Eddie and his brother by circling the desk at the beginning.
I watched that movie over and over and over again when I was a kid. So much so that my mom threw it away and lied when I asked about it lol
@@3-2bravo49 I'm having flashbacks for when my stepson was watching Jersey Shore. I swear he had it on auto repeat. It got to a point where even I could tell you was silly response somebody was about to say next. LOL
@@3-2bravo49It could've been worse. I was a fan of 50-70's musicals. So on repeat at the house were three movies: Mary Poppins, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
@superdave8248 it has to be harder for parents now because you can't just throw it away because everything is streamed. I didn't find out what happened to my who framed Roger rabbit tape until I was a teenager lol. I must have driven her halfway mad. I would much rather be driven insane by Roger rabbit than jersey shore though. My god that must have been torture.
Yeah, that desk scene is one of my go-tos when I tell people about "Show, don't tell." Of course, my other is the scenes that open "Up."
Crazy how the budget is 130 million more than TMNT and looks significantly worse
A consistent art style helps a lot.
Is that true? Holy crap. Where the hell did all the money go?
@@thoriasunlimited4053 The washing machine would be my guess.
@@MegaMagicdog Yeah, I suspect that it went to laundering of some kind...
@@thoriasunlimited4053 money laundering? not sure how this shit works, but they have to be spending obscene amounts on the supporting jobs. i remember seeing a behind the scenes of mulan when i was younger. there were like 6 animators, and a bunch of voice actors. these movies today are made by ARMIES of people somehow
They literally made themselves as the meme and it's the Wish version of a Disney animation. The writer in that room with the IQ of 80 is the genius in the room. Nice moves, Disney
More IQ of 81/2 I think❗
When a Japanese video game series is a better celebration of Disney's animation history. 😅
I used to think that I'd love a movie version of Kingdom Hearts and now I just pray they never get their woke claws on it.
@sarasunshinemt4444 Japan doesn’t have much woke ideology so I doubt it. Japanese creators are mostly nationalistic and right leaning (not saying this as a bad thing! It’s nice seeing somebody not give up traditional values
You mean Mario?
@@melodyscorpion6606 Speaking of right leaning and tradition, here is an excerpt from a US Public Law that was put in place in 1991 during the George "1000 Points of Light, a New World Order" Bush Sr administration. In it are the Jewish Noah Laws which are endorsed by the Vatican/Roman Catholic Church and Orthodox Jews, the two religions which dominate the US Supreme Court.
Also, just before the "election" in 2020, Israel National News declared Trump to be the "Greatest Supporter of Noah Laws in US History", urging Americans to vote for him as a means to fight back against Liberal Marxist ideologies and the erosion of our traditional morals and values, specifically citing homosexual marriage and abortion.
These Noah Laws will be enforced when Trump returns to the White House, as dictated by the Vatican (Sleepy Catholic Joe is just a Useful Idiot whose purpose is to help us turn against Democrats/Liberals, which is why he "won" the election).
What we see in politics and media is a mix of reverse psychology and Hegelian Dialectic. They created a woke (Marxist) problem, the population reacts to that problem (against it, as intended), and then Conservatives offer the solution to the problem---A revolutionary change of power in which Liberals are removed from positions of power, authority and influence.
Whereas *Congress recognizes the historical tradition of ethical values and principles which are the basis of civilized society and upon which our, great Nation was founded;*
Whereas *these ethical values and principles have been the bedrock of society from the dawn of civilization, when they were known as the Seven No-hide Laws;*
Whereas without these ethical values and principles the edifice of civilization stands in serious peril of returning to chaos; Whereas society is profoundly concerned with the recent weakening of these principles that has resulted in crises that beleaguer and threaten the fabric of civilized society; *Whereas the justified preoccupation with these crises must not let the citizens of this Nation lose sight of their responsibility to transmit these historical ethical values from our distinguished past to the generations of the future;*
Whereas the Lubavitch movement has fostered and promoted these ethical values and principles throughout the world; Whereas Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, leader of the Lubavitch movement, is universally respected and revered and his eighty-ninth birthday falls on March 26, 1991: Whereas in tribute to this great spiritual leader, “the rebbe”, this, his ninetieth year will be seen as one of “education and giving”, the year in which we turn to education and charity to *return the world to the moral and ethical values contained in the Seven N-ahide Laws:*
What is the “7 Mountains Mandate” (Dominionism/Dominion Theology)? Supposedly there are 7 “mountains” of global society-Arts and Entertainment, Education, Economy, Family, Government and Military, Media and Religion. (Note: The US voting machines are called “Dominion”.) According to this false teaching, by conquering these 7 “mountains”, the Kingdom of God will be established.
---This is the revolutionary change of power that has been planned for decades.
The following is a partial listing of the Noa-ide Laws as derived from the Babylonian Talmud. *Three of these Laws require the death penalty by beheading/guillotine when broken:* Blasphemy, Idolatry and Sexual Immorality. (Note: Unlike in the Old and New Testament teaching “By the mouth of two or more witnesses..”, these Laws only require one accuser for the accused to be brought to the courts and condemned. This is cancel culture taken to the next level.)
Idolatry:
Must worship God alone.
Must not worship any man (ie: Jesus) as God.
No idols or statues. Do not bow to idols or statues. Do not offer sacrifices to idols or statues.
Blasphemy:
Do not curse God.
Do not use God's name in vain.
Worship the true God alone, do not worship false gods. (Worshiping Jesus is also seen as blasphemy.)
Murder:
Against murdering anyone, self defense is permitted.
*Mass murderers will be given the death penalty. (Abortion is classified as mass murder.)*
Theft--Do not:
Steal.
Rob.
Overcharge -Have you noticed how many of today’s large corporations seem to be pushing the “progressive” message about “fairness, PRIDE, tolerance, inclusion, diversity, equity” while also overcharging for their products? And how many of these corporations are known to overwork and underpay their workers, reaping huge profits for themselves as they commit wage theft?
Kidnap.
Move a landmark. (Probably not good for BLM/Antifa activists who tear down historical landmarks.)
Do not use false weights and measurements.
Do not covet. (I would think this applies to Socialists who believe they should receive the benefits of other people's work.)
Sexual Immorality--*No:*
Bestiality
Incest
*Homosexuality*
Barack Obama was “controlled opposition”, a descendant of King John and Charlemagne, as have been all of the US's "elected" Presidents. The homosexuals have been promised increased rights and privileges, tolerance and inclusion, thinking they are being “normalized” in our society. They have been manipulated into exposing themselves publicly for elimination. The Government now has marriage records, phone and text records (Patriot Act) and online records (Earn It bill) which will be used against them.
Prevention of animal cruelty.
Do not eat an animal while it is still alive.
Do not eat flesh of animal torn apart by a wild animal
*Justice Law - Against*
Bribery
*Favoritism* -Although called the “Equal Opportunity Act”, what we have seen are people being hired or promoted not for their talents, skills and education, but based on the color of their skin, gender and sexual orientation (even if they are not qualified for the job or promotion), otherwise known as “intersectionality”. Is this “equality”, or favoritism?
Condemning the innocent
Must administer the death penalty
*Treat people equally before the law* ---Isn't this what these Activists wanted? They want equality, they will get it. No longer will being able to check multiple intersectionality point boxes give a person any special entitlements, privileges.
@@traviscunningham7062 No, Kingdom Hearts, dude. Mario's Popeye.
The filmmakers confused wishes with aspirations or life goals. The whole point of the movie is that you have the power to make your dreams come true, but you’re right in that these wishes are very boring. If the king can grant any wish, where are the really crazy and interesting ones?
Nobody wanted to fly or be given a chest full of gold?
@@arkeshn729 I think some woman wished for that, but the king was like: How do I even grant that? I can't fly what makes people think I can make it so YOU can?
@@adamjenkins7653 now I want to watch it, preferably for free. Somebody wants to be a chef, he gives them a pan? Smh
How does Disney claim to "celebrate 100 years" of their animation history when Disney as a company is clearly ashamed of everything outside of the last 10 years?
Plus they barely make animated movies anymore and even when they do they either suck or they're mid asf.
Disney has disclaimers on all their old movies. It's so petty and politically correct. I canceled Disney+ today.
@@giovannibermudezjr Disney putting disclaimers on their old content is so lame. People don't need Disney to shame us for liking their older, much better content.
One of the sad parts is that Disney will only ever have one chance to celebrate 100 years of history. Even in the highly unlikely event of the woke being kicked out of Disney and the company going back to good stories and quality movies, their opportunity is still forever squandered.
On this course, Disney will not have to worry about abother anniversary
Anniversary fatigue
@@Kyle-sr6jmAnd that’s a good thing, for us.
Yeah, you only turn 100 once.
You sound like someone who uses the term "woke" alot to describe just about anything you disagree with; Even if in this case your perspective was perfectly valid, it still not worth sounding like a cult member. Just call it what it was, like, "very lackluster" or "sub-par" and STOP using "Woke"!! I cant tell you how much i am beginning to hate hearing that buzzword nearly everywhere i go.
Wish had a production budget of at least $175 million. Klaus, which came out in 2019, had a budget of around $40 million, and has infinitely better story, characters, and overarching moral.
You've got to do better Disney! You've got to step up!
200 Million actually.
Holy fuck it came out in 2019. I feel old wtf.
They can't step up to busy still bending over and taking it for 2 shower Bobby the Hippo Petter❗
Klaus It's an incredible film, I remember even crying when it came out and I watched it for the first time
Everyone should absolutely go watch Klaus, far better movie
You know what's ironic about the art style? Disney have actually done this 2D/3D mix before, and gotten it to work, in Treasure Planet - which is why, along with just being a great movie, it's now a cult classic.
However, considering how much that cost to make, Disney actively decided to sabotage the movie (with poor marketing and putting it out at the same time as one of the biggest box office movies of the decade at the time - Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets), so that they wouldn't have to make a sequel.
The fact that they tried to use the same kind of animation to create the movie meant to mark their 100th anniversary celebration - a movie they actively wanted to succeed - and not only did it not succeed, but they screwed up the animation techniques they refused to use and refine, is nothing short of karma as far as I'm concerned.
Beauty and the Beast had that mix too.
Ugh you mean Atlantis lol. Treasure planet is great too both didn't get the recognition they deserve
The hoverboard scenes in Treasure Planet are a 2D/3D mix using a custom software created for the tree sliding scenes in Tarzan. Disney's been able to do this blend right for a long time.
@@MrDj232 True, the idea was first displayed in Tarzan, and used again in multiple Disney projects (as has been listed already by other comments). But, to my knowledge, Treasure Planet is the only movie that uses the technique for the entire movie - hence why I compare it with Wish.
Just makes me want to watch Treasure Planet again.
Even though I watched it a week ago.
The way you described the King's character flip reminded me of Hans. An otherwise decent character abruptly turns heel for the sake of the plot.
Yeah, that's pretty much what happened.
Hans' heel turn, in retrospect, makes zero sense. His plan to rule Arendelle would have never worked, as he was never heir to the throne. Simply marrying the heiress wouldn't have worked. If Ana passed away, any power he may have had, passes with her. You would think a Prince would know this?
Plus, he seemed genuinely infatuated with Ana at the start of the film. In fact, he gave a genuine smile of affection when no one else could see him. Secondly, if it was his plan all along to get rid of Elsa, then why didn't he eliminate her when she was attacking his men and threatening their lives? Heck, he even prevented an attempt on her life from succeeding when he stopped one of the Duke's men from hitting her with a crossbow.
Still enjoyed Frozen, despite the obvious issues. Thoughts?
P.S. Sorry for the essay.
Are you saying that a movie that focuses on DEI more than telling a good story resulted in a bad movie?!
I'm shocked!!!
Once upon a time it was called “tokenism” and was rightly seen as bad. Then they changed its name to “representation” and now it’s supposed to be the most important thing ever. Man, am I tired of this nonsense.
...well, not that shocked. 😄
Honestly, I'm glad that this year was the dark age for Disney. For years, they've been selfish and made stupid decisions. So it's about time they finally get their just desserts. It's called "karma".
My feelings exactly
I hope this makes them wake up and start actually making good movies again.
"You get what you fuckin' _deserve_ !" -Arthur Fleck, future Clown Prince of Crime and Thorias enthusiast (probably)
I doubt they'll hit a real dark age this Decade. They're way too rich and far too out of touch to notice until they're filed for bankruptcy at least.
Just desserts? Disney just announced to investors that they care more about DEI initiatives than actual profits, which invites more investments from elite globalists and government subsidies. It means they can let diversity hired fan-fiction writers run the show while they collect money from outside sources and effectively shun the American consumer.
My WISH came true.
I wished THORIAS would watch WISH for me.
Thank you for your courageous sacrifice.
My wish didn't.
I wished for Wong to show up and magic me up a bottomless pot of coffee to keep me awake through this. ☕️🦞

@@setlik3gaming80 Thanks! 🦞👍
Just based on your premise, how did they manage to make a villain easier to agree with than Thanos? So you’re telling me he gives them the chance to have their dream come true, and in return they live a life that feels fulfilled anyway because they no longer have the burden of the wish they can’t achieve? What???
Thanos’s only fault was snapping once instead of twice.
You know what's funny. Miyazaki's new film, The Boy and the Heron , apparently has callbacks to some of his past films---and according to people who have seen it said it was done so much better. I think I'd rather save my money on this film when it gets released next week---that and/or Godzilla Minus One.
I prefer the original Japanese title, How Do You Live? The English title felt too gimmicky for my tastes.
Can't wait to see The Boy and the Heron. I'm gonna review it too. Love Miyazaki. He always delivers.
@pennysanchez7656 I prefer Japanese version to the USA dub that’s been premiering. It’s more accurate to the vision. The voice acting is also wonderful as bonus.
So yeah, agreed basically
sure, but then show ma a woke Ghibli movie ...
@@lubossoltes321 it doesn't exist. That Western BS
Know what other movies use a combination of 2D and computer generated animation? Tarzan and Treasure Planet. Both are Disney movies that mostly looked good and blended the animation styles in a way that neither stood out.
Disney Producers: We want to make a movie to celebrate the accomplishments of Disney for the last 100 years, we were thinking maybe a simple story with various callbacks to previous films that people would recognize and enjoy.
Kathleen Kennedy: That's well and good and all. But most importantly, you must put a chick in it, make her gay, and make it fucking lame as fuck.
How it started: “The origin for when you wish upon a star…”
How’s it going: “Diversity Princess overthrows the sensible ruler of the kingdom.”
You gotta love how this movie also inadvertently destroys KH’s lore, fans of that franchise are probably pissed about that too.
It’s fine, the Japanese box office will be really abysmal anyway. Much like the China box office
The implication that the villain is actually the Magic Mirror from Snow White, now with a body and the freedom to do what he wants, is a concept that deserved to be in a better movie.
the villian is cinderella he just wants respect for his work and service but is disrespected instead same premise
"Bruce Allmighty" did the wish thing right. Winning lottery by every participant showed what happens if all wishes are granted. Hell, even "Strange Magic" with its love potion rocked the subject. It unleashed so many disturbing images that even Markiz de Sade would blush.
The fact that Disney released a movie about a wishing star falling to earth, with a heavy Spanish flair, only one year after _Puss in Boots 2_ has me thinking this is ANOTHER case of Disney and Dreamworks “taking inspiration” from each other.
You've gotta do better, Disney! You have to step up!
I ve read it in Capn Falcon's voice
4:40 I guess this is a meta message in which the creators of Wish accidentally admit that they don't believe in themselves and that they measure their worth on the paycheck that daddy Hollywood gives them.
When you mentioned how simplistic and achieveable through practice and hard work majority of the wishes were, it immediately brought me back to (spoilers) Puss in Boots: Last Wish -
Puss didn't want die after squandering 8 of his 9 lives. Kitty wanted someone to trust. Goldie wanted a family. THOSE wishes hit hard because the characters themselves were so jaded and cynical to the point that the star itself is their last hope of getting something seemingly unattainable in their real lives, and the payoff of what they had gained at the end rounds everything up.
Wish's wishes were just so bland! It sounded like what children would write down and wish for because they'd want immediate results instead of taking the long route and perfecting whatever skill they want to be good at! The grandpa wanting to inspire people through music? He can still move his fingers, why can't he just do that already? The dressmaker? Does she have any pre-existing skills for it? The "friend" who wanted to be a knight? Why didn't he just work for it??
This is Disney's 100th year, celebrating the wishing star...and a Dreamworks sequel to an existing franchise pulled it off better than this original story....just how can you fumble the bag THAT BADLY?
I thought of a plot in about 5 min which at least to me seems better than the actual Wish's plot. The king in order to grant wishes has to drain the power of some people's wishes in order to grant others, so that's why he collects all and only grants some. He grants the simple wishes and then uses the leftover power for himself, giving him whatever he desires and as no one remembers the wishes once they give them to the king this scam can continue. With the king's end goal being something like bringing his wife back from the dead or gaining a heir to the throne or just having power, you know bad guy stuff.
So then the main character (or maybe a group of 2 to 3 for the extra merchandising opportunities as money) starts to think something is up as she has never gone to send a wish off to the king so she starts to put the pieces together that only the more simple wishes are being granted and this starts off the conflict. With the end goal being returning everyone's wishes or granting them with the power of the stars, haven't really thought that far ahead as this was just a nothing idea I had thrown together to put into a UA-cam comment.
This is amazing, and yet a multibillion dollar company couldn't think of something AT LEAST as good!
Another plot idea. The king uses his own magic so the scale and number of wishes he can grant are limited. Asha wants to do more but she needs an outside power source. Going on a quest to acquire the power of a star, Asha casually grants wishes only to see that a vague or poorly worded wish can backfire. This teaches her the lesson that just because she can grant a wish doesn't always mean she should. When she finally reaches the star she can become the Blue Fairy and grant wishes without limit, but doing so requires giving up her old life. To fulfill her own wish she has to leave behind her family and friends forever.
This would tie into the original concept of the film, provide even more opportunities for references to old movies, and have multiple valuable lessons for kids. The only downside is that there isn't really a central villain, but that's not really any worse than the villain this movie got.
Seriously I was shocked to see this channel had less than 200k subs. I really wish he gets like million, the quality in all the videos is great and consistent. Please subscribe this man deserves to be on par with Nerdrotic, Rippa and the Critical Drinker.
The second movie of the Sumikko Gurashi franchise works on a very similar premise (of people not being "whole" without their wishes) and yet it is executed far more gracefully than this sad excuse of a film despite being essentially a kid's show where the only plot is cute animals doing cute things. The main cast when deprived of the memories of their wishes (by a well-meaning but inexperienced wizard), although no longer longing for something they cannot have, become flat and uninteresting characters. Seeing his friends lose their goals in life saddens Tokage, the only member in the main cast that hasn't forgotten what his wish is because he never tells the wizard about it; this prompts Tokage's attempt to remind them of what they once wanted, and the first friends to regain their identities, use their unique skills (such as painting and persuasion) to contribute to the saving of their other mutual friends. In reward of his care for his friends, near the end of the movie Tokage is granted a limited version of his wish: to reunite with his mother, even if only for 10 minutes. Despite this, Tokage thinks of it as a cherished memory that is more than enough to warm his heart through the rest of his life.
It turns out that if you buy up rival animation studios you get to lower the bar in what it deemed 'acceptable'.
7:11 it's a recent constant 😂 they try to make a vilain but he turns out to be a good guy in the eyes of normal people while their hero is almost insufferable, so they suddenly add some exaggerated evil caracteristics/actions to this character in the last part of the movie/serie.
Also, it seems to be another movie made around the rehashed theme of "if all the wishes were granted, it would be bad" (Bruce Almighty, Wonder Woman 1984...)
Ah RWBY, the show of wasted potential
Thing is, it wouldn't be hard to make him a villain and they somehow still fuck it up. I think the removing people's memories of their wishes to 'spare them the pain' part is bullshit, but like... Everyone involved is consenting to it. He doesn't trick people, he doesn't force them, having the wishes doesn't fuel his power (until after he's been corrupted), he's up-front and honest that giving him your wish will make you forget it and he decides if it's worth granting or not. Hell, when the main character tries to tell her grandfather about his wish, he straight up tells her that he doesn't want to know and agrees with the king's logic of not wanting to know about a wish that'll never be granted, only for her to say she's gonna steal his wish and give it back to him anyway.
Even Supernatural did it better . . .
I think if having your wishes taken and not granted did more to show it was a bad thing (like if the people all felt and looked listless and grey) then it would feel more important to return them
Disney is where magic goes to die nowadays
I know at one point they had to outsource 2d animation because they no longer had anyone that could do it. Also, their recent firings won't do anything to help because they addressing the wokeness. Also, this king may have been selfish but wasn't he stopping chaos by not allowing everyone to have a wish. The movie makes it seem that they would all wish for simple things, but u know someone was going to wish harm on their neighbor or worse. I loved going to Disneyland but i just find it hard to want to support them in any way now.
Imagine if some of the wishes turned out to be selfish like a kid wanting all the candy in the world or someone wishing for peace and quiet from his neighbor but meaning they can't make any noise.
Or maybe the king sees how petty and lazy the wishes are and simply refuses to grant them so that people would stop depending on wishes to solve their problems.
Just blows my mind how far Disney of all people have fallen. It wasn't this bad back during the Disney Dark Ages.
Hell, a wish doesn't even need to be obviously dangerous to be potentially dangerous.
Case in point - Asha's grandad's wish of wanting to inspire future generations. As Magnifico pointing out, it's an incredibly vague wish - as what does the grandfather mean by inspiring the youth? In what fashion?
Yep. This was great opportunity to show to the kids they can´t have everything they want because it is not possible and some wishes if fulfilled would end up badly.
But no, the "moral" of this story is "It´s OK to be a narc, everyone is entitled to whatever they want."
I was thinking the same thing. He was smart to not grant every single wish because someone is bound to wish for something bad or dangerous. That's not evil, it's just being responsible. Even his reason for not granting the grandfather's wish made sense. You've got to be careful with magic like that.
Like I said, he really didn't seem like that bad of a guy until the writers realized the movie needed a villain and forced him into that role.
@@thoriasunlimited4053 Or even just wishes that are at odds with each other, like two wishes for the same love interest or two wishes for both wanting to win a competition where granting one wish means not granting the other.
It's like the writers never read _The Monkey’s Paw_ or something.
What a way to bungle the possibility of a great premise.
Should have made it so Asha wanted to grant EVERYONE'S wish causing chaos. The King, in his Wisdom, knows how disastrous things will get if every wish was granted (see Bruce Almighty) so his refusal comes off as being "The Bad Guy."
Right? There was such a better story staring them right in the face and they just threw it away.
What I hated the most was how... right the bad guy is. The story tries really hard to paint him as evil, but his whole thing was "If they can't remember that wish they won't suffer from not having it granted, plus some wishes shouldn't be granted". And yeah, imagine you're a person who can grant wishes. Would you really grant EVERY wishy ou receive? Even the bad ones? Like let's not kid ourselves, for every "My kid is dieing I wish they were healed", you're going to get a "Please have my boss die so I don't have to work tomorrow".
You're right about that
Maybe the movie would have been better if they had a "Goosebumps" twist in the middle of the story. Asha succeeds at stopping King Magnifico but he warns Asha that most of the wishes he didn't grant were about evil things. Asha sees destruction happening, she apologizes,works together with the King and fixes the damage done
Not sure if you've heard this, but there were originally plans for the Star to have a human form so he could be Asha's love interest. Wonder why they shelved that idea...
Let me guess. They didn’t like “he”
Dont suppose its because the whole "love interest" trope has been done to death, perhaps??
Plush Toys. Don't forget the merchandise opportunity.
@@silvermeasuringspoons6462yeah, toys that end up in the bargain bin weeks later
"...Here! I just granted your wish..." LOL
It's all in the message, man. If you aren't getting what you want (a pair of scissors), it's because the king (government) isn't specifically granting your wish and therefore is oppressing you. It's not because you failed to go find some goddam scissors on your own.
This looks like idiocy, but it's being done consciously and with intent.
The way I see those scissors, its just the king telling that person to start small like everyone else does, rather than wanting to take the whole world in just an afternoon, which sounds like a responsible way to approach her wish tbh
@@dustymcwari4468 Pretty good read.
Such a shame how Disney screwed up the animation style. Klaus used the same style I believe and it was beautiful! And Klaus was made by a more independent company. Too shame Disney! Too shame!
Fact about Klaus Disney renaissance people worked on it
The way it looks with the mix of hand drawn and computer animated, it looks the way animated movies do in the early stages of development.
Like when they haven't finished the textures yet so things look too smooth or janky
As always, watching trash so we don't have to, and entertaining us with your suffering. Thanks for the review :)
Pity about the movie, I had a slight hope it was going to subvert expectations and show the king as right and brown Rapunzel as misguided and dangerously naive, given how the trailers made the king look, but it was just the woke fighting their war against common sense as usual.
Grant ever wish really means: Communist and give people everything even if unearned and would damage all of society.
At least that movie would have been interesting and different.
Wtf do politics have to do with anything here
@@emilynewman518 why are you commenting here when you didn't even watch the video?
Also notice how the villains in modern Disney are always white and the hero is a darker skinned character…
Disney is afraid to show us more than 4 wishes because there may be a wish that is not acceptable by the "Woke of Ignorance committee".
😂 what if some of them....where actually kinda bad in some way, like if the king listens to someone's wish, he knows exactly what can happen uf he just grants it like ""I wish I was young again' basically can turn you into a baby, or it resets you life and your choices so if you git married and have kids, you undo those actions but thither person has no idea and they move on...so while the king seems like a bad guy, holding or stealing dreams and wishes , hes really sifting through the wishes to understand what they can do if they are granted.
@@TheFatalcrest It is why many UA-camrs are claiming the girl is the real villain in this movie. She is like a person walking into a nuclear reactor and claiming she can run it better than the people who have chased the power of the atom for years if not decades. In reality she has no idea what she is doing and too short sighted to see the evil that can be unleashed due to her short sightedness and lack of real world experience.
This is the animated movie of what happens if you really follow what somebody like Greta Thunberg was preaching. Looks great on paper not so much in reality. Wish is no different.
Just a bad concept in general that has no good message to deliver. No matter how you look at the movie, the conclusion you come to regardless of whose side you take is bad.
@@TheFatalcrest This is likely why he granted so few wishes - because he was weighing the pros and cons of each wish and the majority of the wishes were either vague, nonsensical or outright dangerous.
Returning such wishes made no sense, because he wants his people to be happy and they can't be if they're left wallowing over something that can never happen. So, instead, he makes them forget the wish and they move on with their lives without knowing what they supposedly lost.
"Woke of Ignorance committee" 😅😂
Side bar comment.
But this isn't the first Disney Movie where the "good guys" were actually the villains.
Take End Game as an example. All I ask is that you think it through. It was the wrong thing for all the right reasons.
So five years have past. People have moved on with their lives. Businesses have collapsed. House market is gone. Food production and services have shrunk due to 1/2 the human population instantly gone.
Then they magically reappear. The world is instantly thrown in famine as the world food production was decreased. People no longer have jobs. Their homes are gone. Their spouses likely remarried and started new lives. Kids were born. Family members passed on. You been declared dead so all your personal possession and financial accounts are gone.
In short, you have nothing. And then there is the chance you would instantly die when you were brought back. Imagine you disappeared on a plane and then came back ... with no plane. People falling from the sky.
That was one of my first things I noticed in this movie. Five years was too long. Bringing people back caused more problems than it solved. A better approach was to show that only days or a few weeks had passed. The world is still struggling with the concept of half the animal population on a planet disappearing instantly. You could bring people back and the impact of their return would be minimized.
I have no intention of wasting money watching this movie - but from what I've seen (via clips) and movie reviews, I'm convinced that the real villains of this movie was Asha and the Queen; seeing as it was both of their respective actions that caused Magnifico to be corrupted in the first place.
Spoilers! Asha’s a spoiled brat and Magnifico had a tragic backstory where his parents got slaughtered via dangerous magic.
@@melodyscorpion6606nah some people invaded his village but they don’t say how
@@K2SonicFan The point is that Magnifico handles the wishes the way he does for good reason (he wants to keep things peaceful and the people happy). And because Asha disagrees with how he does that, she inadvertently causes the evil she senses will put Rosas in jeopardy.
Magnifico - though an arrogant douche - didn't deserve what happened to him. And his queen is awful for not trying to help him snap out of it/defend him against Asha/the kingdom; seeing as she's well aware of what made him evil (the cursed book; that he only turned to because of Asha's actions/the star's presence).
@@madamefluffy4788 agreed. I’m still mad how they handled him in the end. Queen’s def a traitor and most of that plot is Asha’s fault.
"I am not powerful enough to solve this crisis, I must use the dark and corrupt powers of the forbidden arts to give me more power." "What power did it give you?" "I can do pretty much what I could do before, but... You know... It's spooky and green."
Disney lost making good movies a long Ago
Disney has become the new Hanna-Barbera. At one time they were one of the masters of animation, but their work has become cheap, generic looking, not interesting and just plain dumb.
If anything this movie made me appreciate more Puss in Boots The Last Wish. Because it was basically the same but done better.
There you have your true evil villain. There you have reality-warping wishes instead of just material goods. Could this king grant his 8 lost lifes to Puss?
And there the wishes are way more varied instead of "I need thing" and the magic is basically limitless which is why the travel to the destiny is more important than the destiny itself.
From the story, i think the king is the good guy. some of those wishes are impossible or too vague. Wishing to 'inspire' people is something you cannot predict the consequences of. At the very least, for dress lady, those scissors are magic, i think, so presumably, they make her better at it, but she still needs to actually work at it.
The king also built the kingdom from scratch, if people don't like the terms, they can leave, but they don't. The wish thing is the only 'negative' they have.
People forget that Disney made the straight to VHS/DVD stuff too. No more DVD market means the crap pushes into the theaters.
It should push to streaming, since they have their own streaming service.
This film had a reported production budget of $200 million. That means its break-even box-office gross is over $400 million. It has currently grossed around $49 million worldwide.
What was their promotional budget? Did you add that in?
I accounted for that, yes. Studios don't generally publish films' marketing budgets, but the general rule of thumb is that they are approximately half that of the production budget. So the total cost would have been about $300 million. Studios also negotiate different deals with movie theaters about how to split the box-office revenues, although the general rule of thumb is that between fifty to seventy percent goes to the studio. Foreign theaters tend to get a better deal than domestic theaters, and the theater's percentage usually rises over time. Consequently, a ticket sold here is worth more to the studio than one sold abroad, and one sold on opening is worth more than one sold a month or two later. But given that Disney, even now, has a lot of leverage with the theaters, we can probably assume a high percentage for Disney, so probably close to seventy percent. $300 million is about seventy percent of $430. That's how I arrived at the "over $400 million" figure quoted above. The general rule of thumb is often stated that a film needs to earn twice its production budget to break even at the box office. Of course, that is making the most favorable assumptions: only fifty percent of the production budget spent on marketing, and the studio getting seventy percent of the box office. If the studio spends more on marketing or gets a smaller cut of the box office, the situation begins to look worse for the studio. @@hellopumpkin86
That production budget makes no sense to me. The money is nowhere to be seen on the screen.
Maybe some of it went up the producers' noses or something. I don't know.@@thoriasunlimited4053
Dizzney, where dreams go to die, and nightmares begin...
Why are Disney movies so bad and expensive?
Because they are not only introducing diversity in their movies, they are doing it with their staff too
The Film threat channel had contact with several former and current Disney animators talking to them about how the 'inclusivity' agenda has seen people with the wrong checkboxes pushed out in favour of promotion of untalented/inexperienced people who meet the checkboxes (and recognise they're there solely due to said 'initiatives') and the enforcement being so draconian that all creative spark is basically extinguished as everyone tries to avoid catching the multiple social tripwires just waiting to see you taken down..... hardly a surprise that the resultant product is a souless skinsuit of the past it is supposedly a 'tribute' too.
And for that they deserve the failure because they were actively preventing people from being creative, based all on political shit.
How is her grandpa able to remember his wish when it isn't granted?
Bad writer's.
lol
a better way to handle this story and would have bveen so cool, is if asha, turned out to become the villain by being young and stupid and so full of herself that she doesn't think she's wrong that she ruins the way wishes work. AND if they wanted to do a clever nod to another movie with magic in it, is she could have even imprisoned the king into a lamp making him the genie
I agree on a lot of things you’ve detailed regarding this movie and the thing is I still kind of like the movie which honestly feels like a hot take given all the reviews I’ve seen.
Maybe I’m being too lenient on it, and honestly seeing all the concept art and cut ideas they had such as making the Star a human male like character (which was hinted to be the romance they cut) or making the Queen also evil alongside the King giving us an evil power couple, I do wish they capitalized on those instead.
I personally don’t think the story not having romance makes it bad by default but I won’t put it past Disney to make Asha a lesbian, so who knows.
I could go on, but I liked the review, good work on the video!
Remember [Who Framed Roger Rabbit]? 1988 blending live action actors with animation seemlessly...and it still today is a classic! What the hell is happening now Lol!?>
"Go to the state so it can grant your wish." Sounds like disney alright.
It could have been a sequel to Snow White and make When you wish Upon a Star so much more impactful along with Snow Whites impact on the Disney legacy
We were robbed. What would’ve worked more was if the king and queen were both evil and Asha was their daughter. Then Asha would’ve grown up thinking that keeping the wishes was the right thing and star boy had to help show her the right way. Also it would add a lot more to Asha’s character by standing against her parents since for all the other Disney princesses with evil parents they’re always stepparents (Lady Tremaine, Evil Queen, and Gothel). So the fact that a princesses actual parents are evil would’ve been so cool.
I get wanting villains that are evil just to be evil back but Magnifico being a sympathetic villain would make more sense. Like due to a traumatic event he is now so obsessed with keeping everyone safe.
Also I wouldn't make Asha quirky I mean she can definitely have somethings but not as much as they did. I would make her more similar to Elsa and Mulan personality rather than Anna and Rapunzel.
I would also change Asha's color palette purple reminds me too much of Rapunzel and Isabella. I wish they stuck with the orange red color palette from the concept art
They should've shown the effects of people forgetting their wishes like have everyone feel miserable and empty in a way
Also it’s funny how they scrapped star boy but kept the obvious love song in the movie. The demo for At All Cost even has the words love you but they changed it to promise in the movie.
remember the movie "Bruce Almighty" the world was in trouble when Jim gave the wishes to all the people on earth.
200 millon dollar budget.....
Apparently Google translate is acting as a spell check now. You missed an "i" in million.
@@MrDj232 Who cares.im writting using a chinese spy cell phone
The sad thing is there are people at Disney who are associated with this movie who will consider this a win for the agenda. That the movie succeeded where they needed it to. Trigger the vocal minority who use their platforms to argue against DEI and Disney in general. For them, making money for Disney was always secondary.
Lets stop pretending like Disney could do better,even if they actually wanted to.
Anyone with talent in that company either left or was kicked out for less than valid reasons.
With the old talent gone and the new blood being...well what you see in this movie,the animation branch of Disney is pretty much just a walking corpse trying to pass of as alive so shareholders dont jump ship.
It looked like Valkyria Chronicles - a 2008 game for PlayStation3 which had a watercolor filter over 3d models.
"Lol so random"
Oh great, humor that got old by 2005. Ugh, I've seen people in completely vegetative states come up with better content than the slop Disney has been shovelling out the last several years.
"It must be really hard to defeat the King?"
"Nah, super easy, barely an inconvenience."
I was hoping that the king was going to be a Thanos type villain and have a reason for his greed, but no he just likes being the bad guy.
I don't know if it was intentional, Thorias, but I love when people throw Captain Token's "constructive criticism" back at disney.
"Do better."
Nice. 👍👍
Our wallets...our choice. We will determine how little money disney will make from now on. We simply say NO to this junk and NO to anything with zegler in it.
The people that control the Federal Reserve fund Disney, so not, "we" do not determine how little money Disney makes.
Disney is being used to help turn people away from Marxist ideologies, and it's working as intended.
I heard somewhere that the King was the protagonist in The Princess was the villain
Me too!
How much more 💰 does Hollywood need to lose?... Before Hollywood goes back to making entertainment for ppl who matters the fans/paying customers.
As a Gen Z myself I can confirm my generation is stupid
I really liked the video. I laughted, I cried and came out a better person. I recommend this to the UA-cam algorithm.
The movie would have looked so much better if it was fully 2d animated. Of course Disney won’t bring back that style since they refuse to actually put effort into their movies now. This movie had a 200 million dollar budget yet this is how it turns out? Just pathetic. The king is a character that really would have worked better in a 2d film. In the original concept art the king and queen are an evil power couple with a cat. Asha was originally going to be his daughter, and the star was going to be like a Peter Pan type character who was Asha’s love interest. At this point Disney is dead and we really need a new animation studio to make 2d fairytale films. Why does Disney hate romance in their movies now??
1:36 This is deeply depressing, since Tarzan, Treasure Planet and Atlantis all made beautiful use of 2D animation combined with 3D
I guess those animators aren't there anymore. The ones that replaced them don't seem up to the task.
@thoriasunlimited4053 Tbf the movies I mentioned were all late nineties/early 2000s, but it does feel like something has been lost with Disney's animated movies
This is how Disney sees the new generation. Well they are not wrong. But in our time, Dinsey brought values .. now they try to pander, groom and validate. Issue is that it's not the kids that have the money to buy their stuff ..
The origin of the song "when you wish upon a star" would have been a cool concept
Why do all the female protagonists in these movies seem like the same character now?
Because they're. Take away the different clothes,skin, hair and eye colour and they are the same person just reused with a different voice.
I have always disliked Rapunzel-and now I know why! She was the blueprint of quirkiness for all of the princesses after her!
None of them have a unique personality.
You’re right. The animation looks unfinished.
Wish really is a Disney Tumblr movie through a through and not simply because of thee check boxes but because of the overall story structure. I was on Tumblr before the exodus and I can tell you that shit like references and connected universes were INSANLEY popular on the site, especially with the Disneyheads. They always wanted to 'connect' films together and make villains sympathetic or himbos for their own pleasure but in terms of story, they couldn't do anything because their own personal philosophies more or less told them traditional storytelling was off-limits due to being problematic and inventing new stories was near impossible because the 'rules' they set up to make shit 'not problematic' took any sort of real imagination away to replace with 'representative realism' which is all over the movie.
The character designs, the portrayal of the antagonist and hero, the overall message? It's all Tumblr but once you remember that Tumblr is mostly made by older adult and women who have horrific personality and social skills with the rest of the world that they hate and believe should worship them, don't be surprised that the movie came out this way. It may as very well be a Tumblr movie because they hired Tumblr people to work on it. It's been long enough and they're old enough for the positions so....there ya go.
You're right.
Man do love your thumbnails!! Never, ever change!
I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and have placed a gift certificate for 100 free minutes under your tree. I gave you ten for travel time to the theatre 🤣
I'm also wishing you another 50K subs to your channel. 😉
You nailed the animation on the HEAD! Couldn't be explained any better. You described my thoughts and feelings, seeing the trailer to a T.
They have an entire isle of wish merchandise in my local Walmart. Plushies of all sizes featuring the star and talking goat. Toy villain staffs. The wish girl in doll form and of course the worthless ‘collectible’ figurines.
My only Wish is for Disney to go out of business.
How Wish Should Have Ended:
Asha: "I'm going to make everyone's wishes come true."
King Magnifico: "😒 Asha. You do realize that some of the citizens actually wished for evil things,right? There IS such a bad wish "
Asha: "No, there's not. Everyone's dreams will come true."
*People get killed left and right, houses are destroyed by arsonists, rich people keep stealing money from the poor, children are kidnapped by "Mr. Bad Touch", animals are offed by people who hate them,etc.*
King Magnifico: "😒 What were you saying about there being no such thing as a "bad" wish?"
Asha: *deeply regrets this* "😰 Uhhhhhh..oops."
This movie proved South Park right.
It's sad, I saw the first trailer for this one and allowed myself to be optimistic since it looked to be a new story, possibly from a new culture being tapped into.
Walt Disney is rolling in his grave so much you could use him to power the USA with zero emissions.
The original idea was to have star be Asha’s love interest who was supposed to be a Peter Pan esque style character. Somehow the Lumalee rip off ended up winning in the end
Maybe I'm looking to much into it, but I tought it was another remake of The Wizard of Oz saying that the magic to make your wish is already in you. That is why he only grants what you can already do, like the Wizard of Oz.
Klaus done a better job on combination of 3D and 2D animation
when I first saw the teaser for it, I thought for sure they'd at least add more texture and detail.
Just looks like a damn app game or SFM project someone was working on
then again they hired composers that new nothing of MUSIC anyway
so it really shows how much they don't even care for their 100 years. They're spitting on themselves at this point.
Frozen and Frozen II also had dumb stories.
