Disney's Wish Movie Review - I Wish I Didn't Watch This Crap

Disney continues to celebrate their 100 years by releasing the most generic movie they have ever created. Disney's Wish is an extraordinary mediocre film made by a once very impressive studio. Wish attempts to be a throwback to the classic 2D animated films but doesn't fully commit. Instead, it comes off as one of those crappy straight-to-Netflix animated family movies no one has ever heard of. A shame.

Disney morphed into Kingdom Heartless trying to make a quick buck out of people's wishes and dreams.

[@JohnSmith-og1xq]

The scene where you see him and Asha where they are singing in the beginning he is singing about protecting all of the wishes meanwhile she sees her grandfather's wish and literally no joke runs through all of the other wishes scattering them knocking them all over and only grabs her grandfather's wish singing about only preserving his wish. It's interesting to see the "hero" act like a villain as usually it's the villain who will smash wishes but it's a sharp contrast to see the villain protecting and caring for every wish and the hero trodding underfoot everyone else's wish to serve her own ends. That couldve been a good moral the main character appreciating all wishes and all people but no the king had to turn cartoonishly evil and asha is just morally pure and learns absolutely nothing Remember when movies had characters learn and grow? I miss that

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

Yep Asha was super selfish.

[@janedoe5229]

In the beginning, the VERY beginning, Disney grew by making family-friendly, CLASSIC, tried and true stories. Now, they are trying to Frankenstein together "new" stories, using disconnected elements of the other stories. It does not work. There is a reason those early stories were classic. And today's Disney has no clue how to do that.

[@paulieprinceton4550]

They know, but refuse because they know better than you or me. There are a lot of activists working at Disney in key decision making roles. Disney parks stopped catering to families and the middle class years ago when they started courting the wealthy and wine moms and Instagram influencers.

[@fatcat22able]

The craziest part to me is, Across the Spider-Verse looks at least 10x better than this movie while “only” having a budget of 100 million USD. Wish had a budget of *200 million*. How did that even happen?? Someone has got to be defrauding the company. Disney seriously needs to be audited, because there’s no way a movie that looks this mid should cost this much.

[@AdamDoesMovies]

Not true you really think they care about anything let alone people. They pay people so badly they living in their cars that work the park. No stop thinking these huge corporations have a soul no they a mind less company that only think about making money period. Like all companies they make horrible decisions in trying to make money in fact lose money. The increase the top pay and decrease the little guy pay. Also what hurts then the most they can easily steal people ideas they use to come pot to them thinks to the internet. So they decided to just pay up everything why have a lot of competition specially sense the government isn’t regulating companies like it should for monopolies. There shouldn’t be bailout that a clear sign if a company to big to fail it is a monopoly period. We in the time where just about all our seeds that grown is own by only five companies, media just three companies, etc that not good at all. If people pay attention to all the huge anti business patience they would be shocked. But few pay attention many work for huge soulless companies that care less for their workers that work in them.

Yeah back in the 90s, Disney was THE competition that everyone else wanted to be like. That's why you had movies like The Swan Princess, The Quest for Camelot, Thumbelina and Anastasia, the last two being from a former Disney animator (a certain someone named Don Bluth) no less. It seems like Sony has since snatched the animation crown with the Spiderverse films.

[@coolioam8137]

I love how they were all scrambling to go "shit, all these animation studios are making these gorgeous, unique art styles and we have been doing the same shit for 20 years, what do we do?!" so they stick the most sorry excuse of a 2D water color filter over a typical CGI princess film. It's such a NOTHING film. Like you said, I still enjoy the stuff Pixar is putting out still (I was the one dude who loved Lightyear) but it SUCKS Disneys in house animators and story tellers are just doing the same basic shit.

[@paulieprinceton4550]

Blame Bob Iger. Instead of growing and cultivating creativity, Bob Iger bought Pixar, bought Marvel, bought Lucas Film and bought Fox. He then alienated and chased out those that made those brands popular primarily due to ESG/DEI and social credit scores. Sprinkle in a little neo Marxist corporatism, which is bizarre to spell out and that is how we got here today.

[@ladypool1404]

You know what would be fun? A movie about a magic castle where all the princesses are send because there's a new villain; they have to work together to defeat him. Maybe he's de mon and separate them in differents rooms where there's traps; the girls have to find a way out and one to beat him. Sounds more creative than what we got. I watched it yesterday and the ONLY good thing in it is the animation; the rest was bad. - The goat was not funny and didn't give advices to Asha or make a diversion so she can stole the king's staff. - The songs are not memorable except '' Make this wish! '' and the villain's song 😐 - Asha's friends are not developped so i didn't care about them. I can't remember any of their names. - There's 2 action scenes, the chase with the king and the battle. That's it! A bit dissapointing to not see Asha uses magic to try to defeat him ☹Also none of her fiends helped her like Mushu did with Mulan, she didn't tricked him like Aladdin did with Jafar or fight him alone like Simba with Scar. There was no battle, she just sings and win. - I can't find a moral in the movie. I tried but it's hard. Am i the only one who can't see it?

Are you talking about Lego Disney Princess: The Castle Quest? If they ever make the movie, Disney will definitely turn the princesses into "narcissistic" independent feminists like what they did to Rapunzel in Wreck It Ralph. Rapunzel literally befriended all the men in the og movie and she survived because of Flynn! Her saying that he's "just a big strong man" is so out of character! Disney clearly doesn't study their own characters, that's why the princesses in act so inaccurately in spin-offs especially Aurora.

Disney isn't the same company now. This reanimated corpse hasn't done anything but eat itself for years now. It's not even the failure of a greedy corporation - they're a _caricature_ of a greedy corporation deliberately destroying themselves, apparently for sh*ts and giggles. They took the biggest franchise in the history of entertainment - Star Wars - and deliberately drove away the fan base that made it worth $2B a movie. They bought all of Lucasfilm for $4B, and in 11 years have barely made their money back. They built Marvel into a $2B/movie franchise, then tore it all down. The newest Marvel film is expected to lose money at the box office. They turned Pixar, one of the premiere animated studios, into the modern-day equivalent of a direct-to-video and made-for-tv special studio. Their last in-house animated film, Strange World, lost $250M at the box office, despite being released for Thanksgiving - traditionally a huge day for theaters. Add in that they're remaking all of their old animated classics in unwanted live-action format. Disney has even been slow to update their parks, in fact laid several rotten eggs with new attractions like the Star Wars-themed hotel, a lack of general maintenance, and the general degradation in quality and atmosphere; turning their once-sterling theme parks into the trashy, unsafe sleaze-fests that Walt wanted to avoid. (To top it off, their theme parks are being outdone by DreamWorks owner Universal.) Disney even closed down two well-respected video game studios in LucasArts and Disney Interactive, apparently for no other reason than they didn't feel like being in the video game industry themselves, instead of selling the studios for cash. Wish is just another failure amongst a sea of recent failures. They don't get a free pass just because they _used_ to be good. The Lion King was decades ago. Frozen was a decade ago. Even Moana was nearly a decade ago now. The future of Disney is determined by what they're doing _now._ And what they're doing isn't pretty.

The thing with those movies is, eventhough they are not like by some, it had a soul to it. the creators put some effort. these days, the things disney or many studios put out screams cooperate conveyer belt entertainment

[@SPW1031W]

I saw it in theaters. It wasn't good. My 4 year old said it was boring and scary. She wanted to leave several times. It is indeed too expensive as well. It was not worth the money at all. I was so excited to go to the theaters with her because I always loved seeing movies at the movie theater. The end of an era I guess...

[@UNSAMU3L]

Didn't even watch it and now I'm not going to. Thanks for making my decision for me

Great review man and happy thanksgiving

It looks so bleached and flat, I can see that just from your flashes.

[@awkward_smile._.]

As a huge Disney fan and someone who works in the 3D animation industry, I agree with you. Disney should be embarrassed for publishing this movie as a feature film. It felt like wizards of the waverly place episode and that's the highest review I can give. However I blame the writers and directors of the movie rather than the animators, musical producers, lighting department or any other production team. The problem wasn't the quality of the production it was mostly in the writing and choices made by the director if you ask me,

[@AntsTheaterCorner2698]

The animated versions of the iconic Renaissance films were iconic for a reason. like Miyazaki's films, They were iconic and animated for a reason. We needed to invest in those worlds and they made us feel something.

[@dsmhiggins67]

The movie reflects the modern degenerate wokism that "whatever I want I deserve !". The hero doesn't actually seem like a hero - the king they tried to make as the villain, however to me he seems like the wise, conservative, sane person. A better story would of been that the "hero" realizes that giving everyone exactly what they want very quickly can turn into a sheer hell... much like Bruce Almighty. Then again I guess millennial activists don't view old films with a "white male" as having any value ? Disney is Doomed.

Good different review. Thanks. Doesn’t feel like anyone gave you anything for it. Give them time…

Great review Adam!

It’s a 13/10

[@jomeke101]

Apparently Disney decided to get rid of their really good animators and replaced them with,let's just say the correct looking animators.

[@neillcaiger7714]

Happy with the short reviews but also enjoy your longer ones also …good to have variety! (And if folks want shorter, you could always edit this one and add it)😉👍

[@JohnnyZenith]

It's all relative but, 'what am I doing with my life'? Adam your life is immeasurably better than mine. I guarantee it. Oh and i'm older than you. Keep up the great channel.

[@crashban4t.f.s.b783]

The Disney renaissance began inward Ducktales. No. This movie feels like a movie that was originally going to release in the 50s or the 60s that got cancelled by Walt Disney because he THOUGHT IT WAS TRASH!!! And then they decided to reboot it. It honestly wouldn’t Surprise me if that’s what the movie is.

[@GothamsMostTrusted]

Hey, happy belated birthday man!

[@SpicyMctyson]

So disney kinda made a movie about 'the completionist controversy in advance. Taking money/wishes and doing other than the intended pupose

[@Magy09able]

At this point, a regular documentary about the company's progress during these years would be a better alternative than this nothing-burger.

Happy ThanskBirthdayGiving

[@shanicestella2226]

I feel the plot lack of intense punch for overusing twist villain trope , basically the whole movie sounds too generic because overusing an overused Disney tropes

[@VocalEdgeTV]

The live Jungle Book. But these days, they’d definitely make Mowgli trans, gay, and whatever gender queer means.

[@opinian1068]

Anyone notice a Disney animated female hasn't fallen in love in the past 10 years of features? Yeah.

[@robertbarga3694]

Happy Birthday Adam.

[@anneofcleveswithinternet]

Just imagine if for their 100 yrs anniversary, disney gave us something like beauty and the beast... it would have been so awesome

Happy birthday Adam!

[@Hiidesu]

You Just said what i was thinking about this whole movie,like YESS ! ugh im Just so tired,like cmon man they have money they can hire people who have passion in their hearts but nooo who cares about actual great senarios money money moneyyy

[@nihilismistheonlyway4680]

So theres moana, elsa, and asha.... Disney likes their "uh" sounds at the end of girls names huh? This color palette and animation style look so boring to me too. If this is an unofficial tribute to how ever many years they've been animating then why not do this movie with hand drawings like old times? Now THAT would get people interested. I LOVE Moana, its one of my favorite movies ever, but this looks so boring and unoriginal. Also, they have a cute talking star??? Mario movie anyone? And a talking goat??? ...dreamworks?? Shrek??? Hello?... LOL See! No new ideas. Just another lazy cash grab.

[@kennethlowrey2902]

I have to take my 12-year-old daughter to this. I’m dreading it now. Thanks…

[@MisterMonsterMan]

Luckily, my 12 year old daughter wouldnt be caught dead at this film. My condolences.

[@reckyu7642]

Hope Frozen 3 and 4 doesn't become formulaic and bland.

[@Vekren]

I think they should remake Lion King. Live action but replace all the lions with people. African actors, brothers and sisters and they can have a pet lion. Also it can be a story about a kingdom and a prince and romance. Please Disney why can't you make a proper movie representing. It would have to be well made.

[@elliottedwards1163]

In battleground tickets are 5$ on Tuesdays and they have punch cards that get you a free ticket- I’m shocked to hear how expensive it is other places 💀

[@fletch1313]

Happy birthday mate! Thanks for watching so I don’t have to! Your sacrifice is appreciated!

[@infinity_flair]

Disney really needs to move away from their Adorkable female lead template. I feel like I've seen Rapunzel in at least 5 different movies now. Prior to Tangled, Disney's lead characters had more distinct personalities. My kids have no interest in this film and I'm personally done until there's a sea-change at Disney.

[@MrGunnerru]

Disney is just a name. Totally different thing/organization now.

[@goyam2981]

I've seen some other guys liking this movie. This time Adam surprised me again.

[@Radman1889]

I'm done with Disney. After they tanked Star Wars, burnt out Marvel, and with Pixar on shaky ground, this was their wheelhouse, feature length animation. And they botched it. Until the Mouse House stops at 1. Doing the same things over and over and/or 2. Inserting social commentary it can't accurately convey, I'm not supporting them anymore

[@AntsTheaterCorner2698]

Agree. Sony Pictures Animation and Studio Ghibli are leagues ahead of everyone else. Even DreamWorks had a one-trick pony with the last wish. Ultimately, there are better studios like Netflix originals and the studios I just mentioned. Other than that, DreamWorks is actually falling apart at the seams despite some of its original ideas.
