Lyric-wise, this is great! Even though she's knows that things aren't right and is eager to make changes, she lacks the wisdom to make the right changes and is afraid of making things worse, and the little wisdom she does have comes from her father, the man who maintaining the status quo and the man who raised her. How can she know what to do to help her people? How can she stand up to Magnifico while still being able to say that she loves him? It's great! As a vocalist, you're a little shouty and off-key at points, but you have potential. Can't wait to see the full thing. God bless and help.

woah I LOVE magnifico being her father! It gives her choice to go against him more stakes and emotion!! And i love the conflict here of loving her dad but also her people. I'm also so glad u got rid of lyrics that made her sound kinda like a jerk ("I know I'm not wrong" etc) and were too vague ("to have something more than this") man I could go on and on! Oh! And your head voice is so prettyyyy Couple questions! Is she supposed to become a royal advisor? I thought that line was interesting! And is the star she wishes on one she and her father are familiar with somehow?? Why did she call it "that star"? THIS IS SO FUN AHHH

@@micahtiel Oh gosh, thank you so much! Honestly, the idea of Magnifico being her father's been stuck with me for a while. Such a fun way to give the story more stakes and give Asha's struggle and arc more depth! Royal Advisor is just the best word I could think of for "Since you're almost an adult, you get to help with all the big decisions making duties that me and your mom have", y'know? Going from just the princess to actually getting a say in royal affairs. And I'm gonna be honest, calling it "that star" is just a way to denote that this is the ONLY star she can see. Since a big thing in this rewrite is that there's no other stars in the sky. And yet, here's one when Asha really needs one hehe

For anyone who wants the rewritten lyrics: (spoken) Maybe he’s right, Valentino. Maybe I don’t know anything. I mean, he’s the king here, not me. But why does he get the final say on everything? Even on those wishes? And I know dad. He won’t change his mind for them. I just… I don’t see why people shouldn’t be able to live out their dreams because he of all people… thinks they might be bad. If the truth’s supposed to set you free, Then why do I feel so chained up by it? If I could show the people what I’ve seen With all their hands and wishes tied there And all their dreams just left to die there But if I speak, he’ll tell me, "Sit down" And how can I when I've already stood up to him? Because I’ve seen where they’ve all been And it's not where they belong And he says I’m young, but why does that make me wrong? All those things he’s said can only inspire me So I’ll throw all my fears off to the side If seeing all their hopes and dreams can drive me Then could I be the one to turn the tide? Could I promise this? Because this is the least that I could give Yes! I promise this To give their dreams a chance to finally… live! Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, ah-ah Yes, I promise this (spoken) Yeah! Who needs dad or some… fancy “royal advisor” title? I’m still the princess! I’ll just give the wishes back myself! I just need to… I’ll go and… Oh gosh. We’ve got a long road ahead of us, Valentino. I never knew we had so far to go ‘Cause I did what I was told when you told me "no" And now there’s this rebellion in my heart That wants to tear your rules apart But I don't even know where to start! Cause I’ve got reservations and hesitations I’ve never been great at thinking things through But I know I need to do something Because this overhaul is overdue If I could just be pointed in just the right direction Knew where to go and what to do I’d charge on forward with my head held high Just the way you always taught me to So I’ll look up at that star to guide me And I’ll go and kiss my fears goodbye I'm sure there will be challenges that find me But at least no one can say I didn’t try Could I make this wish? To give something more to them than this Yes! I’ll make this wish To give them a chance for more than this Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah (so I make this wish) Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, ah-ah (to give something more) Yes, I make this wish So I make this wish To give them a chance for more than this

If Disney really wanted to make Magnifico a good villain, he would have been taking people's wishes from day one in order to consume them and become a powerful sorcerer As it is, Magnifico doesn't even seem that bad until he just snaps in the middle of the movie, going insane because he feels underappreciated. He had a decent backstory, wanting to create a city refuge for everyone--which he did. I did think it was suspicious that citizens were just okay with giving him their wishes, but no one complained and everyone seemed happy--except Asha. The movie could have easily been about Asha causing chaos in the town by granting everyone's wishes, and then Magnifico has to fix everything. I think that would have actually been interesting. But the writers wouldn't let Asha be in the wrong. I do also like the idea of people hiding in a forest so Magnifico can't take their wishes. That probably would have been the best setup for this movie.
@lukeperkins10242 ай бұрын
Pretty great video, but you left out something that was in the art book when discussing Star: there’s one particular version (specifically the third draft) where Starboy was later revealed to be a spirit of Asha’s grandfather who died in that version. So I imagine that romance probably didn’t cross their minds either way because… that would imply inc*st… but they could’ve easily fixed that and yet they didn’t.
@GeekyVanDerWeeky2 ай бұрын
Oh gosh, that's right! I'll definitely bring that up in the full part 1 of my video essay, because there's a lot of weirdness in the art book and deleted scenes about it. Art book says it was a very very early idea for the story, but then lists it third when talking about the separate phases of Star. And if the idea is so recent in the production timeline, how come there's no deleted animatics of it like with shapeshifter Star or evil Amaya? Weird stuff, man.

You know, what's funny is that that original draft with King Magnifio that Geeky brought up in the video? The one where he was an evil tyrant stealing the wishes from his subjects and Asha was living in a hidden hamlet in the forest? If they had gone with that version of the story, it would have fixed at least half the problems with this movie. The confusing and convoluted wish system? The fact that the movie doesn't do a good job clarifying why having your wish gone in the long run is a bad thing? No one recognizing that not everyone is going to get their wish granted until the movie has to happen? Asha unintentionally coming across as selfish and entitled? The writing being unable to decide if Magnifico is supposed to be sympathetic or not? Yeah, all that's gone. Kaput. So many issues could have been avoided if they just kept the original setup.
@angelagokool95143 ай бұрын
While I like that Star is adorable and huggable, I'm now curious as to what a romance between Star and Asha would've been like, if he were human. However, in the final version of the movie, Star's gender wasn't specified, although my mom thought it was female. She thought it was OK, and I thought it was cute. I'd have to ask my sister what she thought. But there are plenty of other Disney movies that I still prefer, my favorite from the Princess Collection being Beauty and the Beast, and my favorite Disney/Pixar movie being Toy Story.

Oh, of course! A romance plot doesn't necessarily make a movie better, and you could improve Wish in a lot of other ways before immediately jumping to that. I think a lotta people gravitate towards the idea because it's been about 14 years since we last had a romance plot in a Disney film, which was in Tangled. That's of course if you don't count Anna and Kristoff's more low-key romance in Frozen of course. I think people just miss cute cheesy romance.

@@GeekyVanDerWeeky I guess it’s because I count Pixar as Disney and the last romance we’ve gotten was Elemental which was literally last year.
