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

Disney has become way too comfortable with themselves. The reason they thrived in the first place was because they strived to outdo their competitors. Now they simply just “buy” their competition whenever they feel like it. Someone once said *”without criticism or pressure from others, there can be no improvement.”* And that really is true, Disney has become lazy and comfortable with themselves and everyone sees it. They may believe for now that they are invincible, but eventually they will find out they’re not and the cycle will start all over again. This is a season that will eventually pass and believe it or not I want Disney to succeed by making changes.

[@questworldiangreenknight7455]

Yeah I can’t stand those types of people, they’re the same ones who say Game of Thrones is boring because they talk about politics.

[@overlydramaticpanda]

The funniest part of that argument is that Walt Disney himself apparently resented the fact that his films and animations were increasingly pigeonholed as being "children's entertainment" during his lifetime. He was constantly trying to push the envelope in terms of what animation was capable of and the stories it could tell. We tend to think of the Classic Disney movies as being somehow quaint, but if you actually go back and watch them, they're dark as heck. The Evil Queen explicitly commands the Huntsman to cut out Snow White's heart so she can keep it in a box, the donkey transformation scene in Pinocchio is genuinely still one of the most horrifying scenes in animated movie history, Bambi and Fantasia are both basically "dark but some occasional funny", everything about Maleficent is terrifying, the 'Pink Elephants on Parade' sequence has imagery that is downright disturbing. Even with the anthology films from the 1940s you have things like the Headless Horseman chasing Ichabod through the forest, the ending of 'Willie the Operatic Whale', and Donald Duck going berserk from starvation and trying to kill Mickey and Goofy with an axe (with the implication he was planning to eat them afterwards)... Disney being *exclusively* kids' media hasn't been a thing until arguably the direct-to-video sequel plague of the late-90s-to-mid-2000s...which still started less than 30 years ago. And even then I'd argue that this is the first movie since then that, again, was primarily targeted at children rather than the entire family. To try and excuse the film with "it's just for kids" is absolutely an even bigger slap in the face to Disney's legacy than the 100th anniversary movie itself just being bad.

[@writerwiles2406]

​@@overlydramaticpandasomeone commented how far Disney has fallen when they compared the villain song in Wish to Hellfire. Like it legit feels like a totally different company when you think of the likes of Hellfire, Savages, Be Prepared etc. ultimately evolving to "I let them live here rent free 🤪"

[@overlydramaticpanda]

@@writerwiles2406 The funny (sad?) thing is that the whole "I let you live here for free and I don't even charge you rent"...thing isn't even close to being the only bad lyric...and the villain song that sounds nothing like a villain song isn't even close to being the worst song in the film. Like...every Disney musical has that one lyric you hear and go "hmm...kay... You were stretching there"; 'Wish' has multiple examples *per song* . I mean the absolute worst offender is "watch out world, here I are" because it's just...so damn easy to fix - like that shouldn't even be a "first draft" line; it's just...ugh - but then you also have things like "throw caution to every warning sign", "eloquent dancers" and the VA trying so desperately to make "can't keep count" sound like it rhymes with "more than himself"... Why they went with a writer of pop songs (with not even that much experience of writing pop songs) over the multiple experienced musical theatre songwriters/composers/lyricists they've previously hired over the years is completely beyond me. Even if this movie *were* just for kids, they still deserve a heck of a lot better than this mess...

[@ThornShadowWolf]

I agree that they should've hired someone who does the right style of music rather than a pop musician. Even so, she's not all to blame: apparently they regularly gave her no direction (resulting in the vague, unsubstantial lyrics that are often irrelevant to the story) and asked for more songs really last minute (resulting in lots of the "first draft" feeling lyrics because she had no time to iterate or improve them before the deadline). A LOT of it feels like she was just spitballing ideas, sent off her rough draft expecting feedback, and then was told "approved, thanks." Take the "eloquent dancers" line, for example. As many people have pointed out, "elegant dancers" is a typo-and-autocorrect-mistake away. But instead of Disney sending it back with notes like "wouldn't 'elegant' make more sense?" so she could correct it, they were in such a rush to get it out that they just gave it the stamp of approval and moved on. Or the villain song, which is one of, if not THE song, that could benefit most from a complete rewrite (not just lyrically, but musically too), especially since it references themes/plot points that were later dropped. But they couldn't afford the time it would take to re-write, re-record, and re-animate it (and not that they _couldn't_ afford the money it would take, but potentially they were _unwilling_ to spend it). There's just... SO much that went SO poorly.

Soon, you'll be trapped in a world where magic is fading away. ARIA is surrounded by a magical aura, and the carnival transforms into a dark, desolate land. ARIA (panicking) What's happening? FINN (fearful) It's Malik, the dark sorcerer. He's taken away the magic! ARIA and FINN embark on a quest to reverse the spell and restore the kingdom's magic. Along the way, they encounter a quirky magical creature named TWINKLE, who becomes their guide. TWINKLE We must find the three ancient relics scattered across the realm to break Malik's curse. ARIA, FINN, and TWINKLE journey through mystical forests, treacherous mountains, and enchanted caves, facing challenges that test their courage and friendship. INT. CAVE OF ETERNAL WHISPERS - NIGHT In the cave, ARIA discovers a magical mirror that reveals the truth about herself and her kingdom. ARIA (teary-eyed) I have a responsibility to protect the magic within us all. They unlock the first relic, a shimmering crystal, and gain a clue about the next one. EXT. MAGICAL MEADOW - DAY ARIA, FINN, and TWINKLE navigate a meadow filled with talking flowers and playful creatures. They encounter a wise old TREE, the guardian of the second relic. TREE To prove your worth, solve the riddles three, and the relic shall be yours. After overcoming the challenges, they obtain the second relic, a glowing orb that restores a fraction of the lost magic. EXT. DRAGON'S PEAK - SUNSET Facing their biggest challenge yet, the trio confronts a guardian dragon, who holds the final relic. FINN We must convince the dragon that our cause is just. ARIA uses her newfound wisdom to communicate with the dragon and persuade it to join their quest. DRAGON (roaring) Together, we shall defeat Malik and restore the magic to this land. They retrieve the third relic, a magical staff, and return to the desolate kingdom. INT. MAGIC KINGDOM - NIGHT ARIA, FINN, TWINKLE, and the dragon confront MALIK, who is ready to cast a spell to solidify his dark reign. ARIA (holding the relics) You can't extinguish the magic within us. We are bound by the enchantment that unites our hearts. The relics glow with a brilliant light, overpowering MALIK's dark magic. The kingdom is restored to its former glory. MALIK (furious) This isn't over! MALIK disappears into the shadows, defeated but vowing revenge. EXT. MAGIC KINGDOM - DAY The kingdom is alive with magic, joy, and laughter. ARIA, now wiser and more compassionate, addresses her people. ARIA Our journey taught us that true magic lies in friendship, courage, and the love that connects us all. The kingdom celebrates with a grand carnival, where ARIA, FINN, TWINKLE, and the dragon dance together, surrounded by the enchanting echoes of their adventure. FADE OUT.

honestly, this movie could’ve worked without having to scrap the plot: 1. keep the idea where both the king and queen are evil. people (including me) love a power couple. 2. they could’ve further explored how the king controls Rosas by adding ridiculous rules (exp. allowing no outside contact, they have to strictly follow his laws, he manipulates the wishes to make them beneficial to him, etc.) 3. completely rewrite all the songs. scratch that- have like 3 songs and call it a day. 4. they could’ve scrapped most of the side characters. just keep short guy for sarcastic commentary, Asian girl who bakes for a friend who tries to bring Asha back to reality, maybe the goat just for animal sidekicks and possibly to have a rivalry with Star for Asha’s favorite, and depressed guy and you’re good. 5. they could’ve made it more aware how the subjects become miserable after giving their wish. (exp: Asha’s mother constantly ponders if she has any purpose and forgets what her wish is, her grandpa loses all faith in his wish at the start of the movie, and the depressed guy is falling into deep existential dread. ik it’s dark, but it works.) 6. don’t make all the animals talk. the goat is more than enough. 7. make Asha less “quirky” and have a compelling personality.

The exact opposite of what Pinocchio and Princess And The Frog, 2 of their best movies imo, teach

[@eglol]

In Princess And The Frog, the whole flipping lesson was "Work hard, and you can make dreams come true." In Wish, the ending is like "Magic makes your dreams come true" which isn't even a useful lesson because in our own lives, we don't have magic. Princess And The Frog had magic, but a lot of it was from the villain, and then there was the magic for Tiana and Prince Naveen to become frogs. Magic was what helped them on their emotional journey, not what solved all of their problems or made their dreams come true.

Woooow, so terrible...like are you serious???

[@WatanukiProductions]

The movie tells us he is deceiving the people but literally everyone knows he only grants one wish a month, so of course the majority of wishes never get granted. They also get to witness what sorts of wishes get granted. People are living comfortably in the kingdom of their own free will. This whole setup is screaming for Asha to grant a bunch of wishes and then everything goes wrong because he was right, some wishes contradict each other, some are dangerous, magic solutions don't exist for every complicated problem. It is begging for her to learn that the king was right, it's begging for there to be a moral about working to accomplish your dreams on your own instead of depending on someone else to grant your wishes. I swear it's begging for any story except for the one they told.

[@AR-K9]

This!!! And the fact that King Magnifico said that they give him their wishes WILLINGLY. Meaning you don't even have to if you don't want to and can continue being happy living for free on HIS island!!

[@roristevens2810]

Someone at TVTropes got it right - this isn't a movie about wishes, but GOALS. Wishes are generally understood to be reliant on outside help, like Pinocchio becoming animate (and from there EARNING the chance to be human). It's weird because on Reddit, one of the animators was defending the film by saying that it's about making your own wishes come true rather than relying on others, but by making virtually all the "wishes" easily obtainable things, it really does make the characters seem lazy and ungrateful, with very empty lives given that they supposedly are unfulfilled without their one wish. Like, they have no other things they'd like to do? They can't be satisfied with what they have, especially in a place like Rosas?@@RamdomLolola

[@rainbowmoon1461]

“I want to inspire people” is actually a rather vague wish. Even adding through music, still leaves a lot for the magic to interpret. A lot of these wishes seem to be things they could workout on there own, and therefore better for themselves since they know what they want. Your songs could inspire people because some deep tragedy happens to you and your able to make an emotional song about it. Maybe someone you love will die in order to inspire your inspirational song. And you can inspire people to do the wrong things, so it’s not an invalid reason to not grant a wish. Particularly when he’s the one that’s freaking doing all the work!

the original draft with the king and queen being evil together and the star and asha working together to bring them down was so much more interesting but like of course disney fucked it up by scrapping it andgiving us a boring ass movie

[@osmanyousif7849]

I think to sum up the biggest problem with this movie is that the fact that: 1. Disney doesn’t know anymore when a movie needs a villain or not. 2. Disney doesn't know when to make a movie where both character, conflict, and theme fit with it's own narrative. Yet, they don't even realize that there's movies that did what they were trying to do MUCH BETTER. Some good examples can be in Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. Since the idea of wishing is established as the fact that nobody ever gets a wish because, everyone realizes that they have what they want (Except for Jack Horner….). The Wolf even shows this to Puss, as when he starts to come after him, we see that he only wants to kill him, as the Wolf believes that he doesn’t value life, and he only wants the wish to be immortal. But it’s when Puss realizes that he has everything he needs in life, but he chooses to face death regardless, if this will be his last life, but assures that he will never stop valuing it. There's also Across the Spider-Verse. It would be easy to characterize Miguel O’Hara as a villain, but when you see why he does what he does, you can understand his reasoning. Even though this doesn’t justify him holding Miles from trying to change the future, you can understand why he thinks that he’s doing what is for the good of the universe, as he made the same mistake himself. Therefore, coming to the belief that nobody can always have it all, including Miles. But I think the best example is in a movie, where Disney did this themselves, in Moana. We’re presented with Maui, but we see him as an arrogant god, who is out for power for himself, especially with the way the movie presents him stealing the heart of Te Fiti. But, we soon learn about his past to see that he wasn’t always like this. As once he became a Demi-God, and gave the people everything they wanted (or you can say WISHED…), yet it was never enough, therefore leading him to steal the heart, as he thought it would make them love him more. Therefore, the point of these examples is to show that the conflict isn't just brought about by some evil mad villain, but much more of everyone believing that they must do what's for the good of the world or the individuals they care for. But watching Wish feels as if the people behind this movie gave us the most black-and-white story on the big screen. It doesn't interrogate or take a deep dive into playing God for the citizens of one's society and it doesn't address the hard and murky truths of getting whatever you want in life. It just allows the audience to just say, "We're not in the wrong, HE IS. He's the cause of all the ill in our world, so let's work together to eliminate him, so our kingdom will be a stronger and loving world.", without ever realizing how such an ideology of trying to use such power to either control the future or get what you want, even for good intentions, can have dangerous outcomes for themselves. And that's where the biggest failure of Wish lies.

they do know but I bet they snuff out the voices in the board saying hey maybe we should so something different and they were turned down for want to stick to what they've done in the past (at a superficial) or whats popular

Exactly! The entire theme feels so elementary when other movies have tackled similar themes and done it infinitely better. Like Wreck-It Ralph is so good because it's all about heroes and villains and what makes them, but also how using labels like that can often oversimplify characters. Wish lacks any nuance, and it doesn't dive deeper into its themes at all. Overall, a lackluster and disappointing film. :/

When everyone's a princess, there are no second or third-class citizens. Everyone is forced to respect one another. The princess is educated but severely lacks wisdom, however her heart's in a good place and that's enough. It actually ends on a powerful lesson that, I think(?), Wish was trying to emulate despite failing miserably at it. Despite her novel ideas, and because they seemed so silly to him, Jafar never trusted that the princess could handle the world until the very end when he realized he was just too old and tired to see she was perfectly capable. Even then, he didn't see the beauty in making everyone a princess until Scheherazade showed it to him. Aisha winning is like watching an alternate ending to Twisted in which Aladdin keeps the lamp.

Wait, is "just keep wishing" _really_ the moral this movie gives? Shouldn't it be something like "You can't just sit around waiting for your wishes to come true, you have to make them come true yourself" cause that's literally what happened, they gave up pursuing their dreams themselves just hoping Magnifico would do it for them, but by the end of the movie it doesn't seem like they learned anything, they just put all their wishes in Asha's hands instead because they knew she'd grant all their wishes for them

Make the villain the protagonist + The emperor's new groove character arc = Good movie.

But to make an actual interesting protagonist would take away from princess sales I guess

[@anothermiddleschoolburnout8816]

From what I've heard, The Emperors New Groove's production was so chaotic that it left very little room for corporate and executive meddling. Some of the original concepts for this movie were interesting and could have elevated this movie from bad to passable.

Or just make that guy a princess instead of a king dude. Ta'da!

[@YaBoiKyogre]

[@ThePsychicClarinetist]

This isn't a bad idea, TBH. If they wanted to be original, they could've used their OG idea of the King Magnifico/Queen Amaya villain couple and Princess Asha/Starboy. It could've been compelling, Asha would ACTUALLY count as a princess, and everything would make 10× more sense. I honestly WISH this movie was remade, because it's OG and fan concepts deserve a full movie over what we got. 😞

[@TulpechaidoplaysMC]

5:13 This actually is the only historically accurate part of the movie. The movie takes place around the 1200’s iirc aka 200 years before the printing press Back then musicians not only comprised nearly all entertainment that people had they were also the way news spread. Often they were hired by monarchs and nobles to spread propaganda, but at the same time they were a way to incite revolutions. So the King being concerned that a musician’s wish is to “inspire people” is 100% justified

So King Magnifico is like a worse version of the Skeksis from Dark Crystal; He claims to be the guardian of some sacred shit when really he's super corrupt and he eventually learns how to extract power from the sacred thing.

The hilarious thing here is that, if it hadn't been for Magnifico magically and conveniently going full bananas about halfway through the movie, the protagonist and antagonist roles would've been precisely backwards. Dude builds a magical kingdom on his own, develops magic that can grant wishes, let's people move into his magical kingdom for free and all he wants in return is the option to choose which wishes to grant with the magic he created himself. Nobody is there by force. They all opted into this. Heck, up until the very end you see no crime, no filth, no sad citizens, nobody being oppressed. Just people living happy everyday lives. Then our supposed protagonist shows up, applies to be the kings apprentice with the ulterior motive of badgering him to grant the wishes of her family as a priority, throws a hissy fit when he reasonably explains that he only grants the wishes he feels aren't a risk a la Wishmaster, runs off and gets magical BS powers which she then uses to depose the man who built the kingdom she's living in because she disagrees with his decision on which ones to grant. Good thing he turned full tyrant halfway in or this would've been hella awkward.

A gripe I just cant let go is the fact that they named this magical Spanish/Iberian inspired city "Rosas" I mean, I dont think it really ties into what the city is all about. Like, in just two minutes, I thought of "Rosazul" Boom, spanish pun on Roses and blue. Blue roses, something fantastical and not found on our world. It ties into the use of blue tones in the city and wishes, and partly harkens back to the original Blue Fairy from Pinnochio, the film that DEFINED wishing on a star!! How did Disney manage to screw this up!?

[@jendoe9436]

Honestly, I don’t really see much Spanish or Iberian influences in this movie. The town looks like it can be any old generic European location, which I know is a part of Europe but they do have their own flair. Puss in Boots incorporated Spanish elements into the character and setting, such as a mariachi sound, a saber and dagger, Spanish language, bright colors, etc. It wouldn't take much to add such things into Rosas and give it an identity like what Tangle and Frozen had for their castles and village.

[@juliangonzalez6401]

@@jendoe9436 Its a shame too! It is to my understanding that they were attempting to go for an Iberian Peninsular style region. If I'm not mistaken, Asha is supposed to be mixed, half Berber. An ethnic group originating from North Africa, but have a history and presence in the Iberian Peninsula, similar to the Moors. This is a legitimately unique setting for a call back to the classic, and a few modern, Disney films that explored all the other regions of Europe. But it just feels like "Generic Euro Fantasy" with a Spanish name. They could've made the natural environments and townscapes warmer tones, made the character's outfits a little more loose relaxed for a warm coastal/Mediterranean region, literally anything! The thing is, I actually like the concept of this movie, the protagonist, setting concept, the conflict, it's all wonderful and unique. But "unique" needs to be executed properly. Instead we got hideously written pop songs and an embarrassment to Walt's legacy.

It baffles me they could set out explicit rules for wishmaking in Aladdin and then just ignore the moral quandary of wishes in a film ENTIRELY CENTERED ON IT when the direct actions and consequences of wishes was already illustrated by a film THEY REMADE IN RECENT YEARS USING THE SAME EXACT LOGIC THE ORIGINAL FILM USED. And if they wanna ignore Aladdin, Princess and the Frog also talks about wishes and dreams. Or if they continue pretending their last 2D animated film doesn't exist, there's a pretty good list of films (Moana, Meet the Robinsons, Bolt, Tangled, Cars, etc) that have some sort of character conflict of realizing what you WANT versus what you NEED which, y’know, is a pretty big factor in wishes.
