Hazbin Hotel vs Wish (How to Make an Animated Musical)

[@silverspider493]

can we laugh at how disney lost to an adult animation series, with four actors who voiced disney characters

[@Rosewolf29]

It's true though. Hazbin hotel is so much better than honestly anything Disney can come up with...as long as their not taking from anime (Lion king, I love you but your Kimba in all but name).

They also seperated the “goofy villain” and “narcissistic villain” into 2 seperate characters, giving us 2 awesome villains with defined traits, as opposed to giving us one character with both traits but lots of inconsistency and a lack of actual villain behavior.

[@TheDJdragonflame]

The style switch in Stayed Gone has another purpose that you missed. The switch happens when Vox's broadcast starts, the manic and energetic part is what he displays to the public. He hides his sinister side and displays the entertaining persona. Meanwhile Alastor continues broadcasting even through the sinister parts, he doesn't hide his evil, he revels in it. The style switch is used to show this contrast between Vox and Alastor, Vox manipulates and fakes being good while Alastor might also manipulate people, but he never hides his evil nature.

[@michaelthecinebro]

Also, I think it would be okay even in-universe if not everyone can be redeemed. It's a way to siphon off overpopulation, and it's not as if the exterminations wiped out every sinner either.

[@nevaehhamilton3493]

But Vivziepop wants us to. She really wants us to see Hazbin Hotel as this magnum opus, when it really is not.

[@miafiolekova5817]

There is also the fact that to be redeemed the sinner must want to change. Alastor made it clear he is not interested, The Vees also dont care. Or other Overlords. Or even those that are alies like Cherry Bomb or Husk dont care for redemption. There are so many nuances with the redemption plot. And that makes it interesting.

[@jacksonbarkerthebluehairedfox]

Charlie's belief goes from "Everyone can change!" to "Not everyone can change, but they at least deserve a chance to try to change." Asha's belief goes from "Grant everyone's wishes, no matter how good or bad they may be!" to "Grant everyone's wishes, not matter how good or bad they may be!"

[@yell0w-man]

Exactly. Because nowadays, the disney protagonists have to have NOOO flaws and always be in the right so they can be more “likable” but flaws in heros make them more human and relatable, which is why people like them so much An example is Charlie’s sheltered nature, which is why she didn’t understand that not everyone can be redeemed. That’s just my take though.

[@veryangryduckpl2122]

Asha developed a T to the no matter after the entire movie.

[@Paint-yc7zm]

Actually, it’s because of one reason and one reason only that Asha’s belief never changes. It’s because Disney wants to show these fake fantasies to minors so it sells. It’s all for marketing. Just put an unrealistic magical scenario and make the world look like the best place to ever exist, then boom. It sells. And it sells big time. Disney doesn’t give a damn to what the kids learn. Like most/all companies in the world, all they’re out for is money.

I don't feel like it got enough episodes to accomplish everything it wanted to, but how much it managed to accomplish in 8 episodes is BECAUSE it's a musical.

[@ashebennett7726]

I love how they basically changed Charlie’s core beliefs. Because we all have core beliefs but there will be times when those core beliefs will be challenged, questioned and even changed. And what I like about Charlie’s character is that she’s allowed these challenges, questionings, and changes which allowed her to develop as a character. And it’s okay to be wrong. It doesn’t mean you’re stupid or bad or inferior. Characters are allowed to be wrong and have flaws. In the beginning, Charlie is privileged, sheltered and naive about the world around her and that’s what makes her likable. Charlie’s core belief was that “everyone has good in them and are redeemable” but then it changes to “anyone can change but not everyone will”. Redemption is a choice and something you would have to want. And not everyone would want to. Charlie is right about people like Angel Dust and Sir Pentious being deserving of second chances but when she met Valentino, she realizes that not everyone is worthy of forgiveness or second chances. At first, Charlie was naive, but as the series progressed and her beliefs were challenged, she became wiser. And when the meeting with the seraphims goes about as well as expected (which not at all), and was basically her last chance to resolve some things, she is at her lowest and doesn’t know if she can believe in anything anymore. So then, with Alastors knowledge, the only other option left is to defend her home with all the weapons and allies she can gather. Charlie is also allowed to be scared, vulnerable, and in need of being lifted up just like how she did for everyone since the beginning. Charlie is truly an inspiration of a flawed character who is actually likable alongside the other cast of characters. Meanwhile, Asha’s core beliefs were “everybody deserves to have their wishes granted” to “everybody deserves their wishes granted”. This made Asha’s character bland and unlikable. She was never challenged with her core beliefs nor did she ever once questioned if she was right or wrong. In fact, Asha wasn’t allowed to be wrong or have any flaws besides “she cares too much”. Okay? And? That’s it? Hazbin hotel is what would happen if a Disney movie was rated R and you also have a Disney princess in hell which is brilliant.

In general, an important joke is that all the main characters of Hazbin have their own signature style of music. This is especially noticeable in the song "Hell is Forever" - Charlie has the melody of a straight classic Disney (perhaps the birds will soon come to kiss her on the top of her head), which is contrasted with Adam, whose music is rock.

[@OutOfPocket-h9e]

Yes, Angel Dust is pop music, Alastor is classic jazz, Husk is soul jazz, Vaggie is rock ballad, Carmilla is flamenco, Pentious is ballad(?), Velvette is pop rap/modern hip hop, Lute can be rock as well but her style is more like Evanescence which is gothic metal, and Lucifer is Tin Pan Alley/ballad.

Haven’t even watched Hazbin Hotel, but just listening to the songs-I learn so much about the story and personalities of the characters singing them. Like that one song More Than Anything, which shows Lucifer is this guy that is clearly suffering some kind of trauma at having his wild ideas blow up in his face, with his angel family turning their spears at him and this single moment of soul crushing rejection and failure lead him to fear that his daughter was heading down the same road. But Charlie is this girl who found people she wants to risks it all for. And so the father decides to be proud of her for standing her ground. Or like that one song, It Starts with Sorry-Charlie is someone who is so open to giving anyone a chance that she makes the guilty guy cry, asks those around her to have empathy-to remember that they’ve been there before and would have wanted a second chance-and *succesfully* gets them to abandon killing the snake. And because of that, the snake get the chance to apologize and start the road to redemption. She has the characteristics of a leader, and the kindness of heart to change those around her for the better. Like it’s actually so cool how good the songs are at storytelling. I haven’t seen all the songs, but when there’s singing, it’s rarely wasted. The song and the visuals always tell something.

And the song has no important character moments/new info in it, just a rehash of everything we already know which makes the audience wish they’d just shut up and keep going.

Vivzie made a better disney princess than Asha. Charlie is a strong female character done right.

She acknowledges this and apologizes to Angel Dust for not realizing the severity of his situation. She is flawed, yes, and keeps trying to fix everyone else's problems except her own like husk said.

Which it is, in a nepotistic take, but I found embarrassing that the MC proclaimed it was their role to be leaders when never did they show the ability to lead (literally every character got comforted by someone else) and didn't even learn anything to truly lead. Cannibal Town didn't even count because it wasn't about Charlie learning to convince people, but actually trying the same proved mostly useless singing method that "It never works" "But it'll work here", which is the only reinforcement that it is her destiny to lead others... Felt quite off that the season ended like that, but Charlie still has a lot of room to learn more things through next seasons while Asha will never learn anything.

[@FoxMoon89]

@@Anonymous__S I think part of what makes Charlie's situation work though is that she clearly *isn't* ready to be a leader by S1's end. I saw the last two episodes as more building the foundations with her realizing and accepting that she's been forced into a leadership role (ready or not). Rallying Cannibal Town behind her is more a lesson of self-confidence and accepting responsibility than learning to lead or persuade. Corny as it is, both are fundamental to good leadership.

[@nicodiangelo6788]

i think she sees in NOT in black and white

[@Kezendia]

Yeah. Charlie is a woman with naive soul and doesn't understand her true strength. During the S1, the reality caught up to her; she has been forced awake from the cute protected sunlit garden. Now, she has to walk the path with mud puddles, broken glasses and deadly traps, on her own feet, if she wants to continue her dream. She's finally standing on the doorway of becoming a true powerful leader. But I don't see anything like this is Asha, she does now grow up. Rather, her childish motives are enhansed by the Star and are used like a puppet. You can see it the most when the Star comes down. It's really scary. The event at the Cannibal Town was, I think, done to teach her that people are different and require different ways to reach. Her singing didn't work for others, so she gave it up altogether. But Madam knew the residents likes singing ...impling that Charlie is careless about gathering information, the very first thing you need to do to convince someone. She kinda learned this with Angel but are still less careful and still isn't as much as she should be. Maybe it will come back to haunt her in later seasons hehehe. Also agree on the "lesson of self-confidence and accepting responsibility" part. She's a princess of hell, she's been saying that and she wants to act like it. So she needs to act like one when the time comes, and her preference won't matter then. The worst part of her is that she sees everything in rainbows with a twist of unicorns and candy rains. But in any case, very good show. I wish Alastor would step on me.

Let's be fair, Alastor is the most terrifying thing in Hazbin Hotel. This guy strives to be at least disturbing in each of his appearances. If I had to compare him to a Disney villain, it would be Ratigan. Yes, I know, he's not the one we think of when we say "disney villain", but it's for a simple thing: Ratigan's motivation is to be evil. The first thing he does once announced as Prince Consor is to impose a tax on the elderly, children and the disabled. Alastor is the same: he loves being evil and savors every moment. Like the dentist in Little Shop of Horrors. Music here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6C6oKBmeKiFga8 Honestly, it's Alastor if he had become a dentist instead of a serial killer.

[@dietotaku]

the fact that this isn't even the first video i've seen that uses hazbin hotel as a herald of the rise of indie animation taking over the entertainment landscape... i'm also surprised that the sheer quality of the music didn't come into play, like idk wtf that magnifico "song" was supposed to be but it was grating and didn't have a cohesive melody, whereas the hazbin songs are very much in the disney _tradition._ especially "happy day in hell" and "you didn't know," they feel like traditional musical fare (and it probably helps that they got broadway musical alums to do the voice acting instead of just throwing big celebrity names like chris pine at the audience). there's a couple of clunkers in there - i'm not a fan of anything carmilla sings - but the overwhelming majority of the soundtrack is just banger after banger, they've got middle school kids who aren't even allowed to watch the show singing the songs. this adult animation literally stole disney's audience on music quality alone.

For real Hazbin Hotel is a better celebration of Disney's legacy than Wish is supposed to be. There's a bunch like all the ones you mentioned but the one that's especially ironic is Lucifer. Disney scrapped all the creative team's ideas for the star to be an actual talking character in Wish for fear of him being too similar to the Genie in Aladdin. Meanwhile Jeremy Jordan said he used the Genie as his inspiration while voicing Lucifer, and the animators for his solo in Hell's Greatest Dad make nods to him too which, I didn't even notice ANY of that because of how unique Lucifer is even while directly referencing Genie. Seriously, I thought nah the Hell's Greatest Dad similarities are probs just surface level reaching till I saw side by side Genie and Lucifer use puppets, slot machines, and magically serve food while singing in a fake French accent. Like what a perfect example of paying tribute to something, and I already knew the golden fiddle was a reference to The Devil Went Down to Georgia too so it's fitting if Lucifer made other references

How Disney produces stuff, nowadays is they get writers to write something, and then they just quickly make all of that into a movie, then releases the final product and makes merch over and over again. Meanwhile, Hazbin hotel wasn’t jumping from movie to movie over and over again, they spent a whole four years developing everything in this musical, so they had much more time to think about it then Disney did.

Agree. These songs not only are catchy, but also show character's personalities. For example "Hell is forever" shows that Adam is very sadistic and enjoys slaughters sinners, while using fact that they're sinners as an excuse. This shows difference between him and Charlie - while Charlie symbolizes all of the 7 heavenly virtues, Adam symbolizes all of the 7 deadly sins.

I just saw Wish, and frankly, I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt like the animation was unfinished. And really, out of all of Wish's songs, only like 2 of them stood out to me (one of them was Magnifico's) mainly for the catchy rhythm they had, and I do believe that in "this is the thanks I get" it was meant to establish his more... greedy and power-hungry side, plus some scenes try to imply he's like that, on top of being a narcissist. I think him opening the song with him talking about his looks is meant to be like, "Why would anyone betray someone as handsome as me?"again implying him being narcissistic. Meanwhile, Hazbin managed to achieve so much more in only 8 episodes, and despite the flaws it may have, it actually had more impact than Wish did. Hazbin didn't shy away from just having evil doods being evil doods they're in hell.. for a reason, after all. In any sense, I thought Wish was just... ok. It's not the worst thing I've seen, but it's definitely not the best that Disney has to offer. It's just ok.

[@torytellstales]

I feel there was not a single "ugly" or "flawed looking" character in Disney's "Wish", and in my personal opinion, that's one of the big overlooked reasons of what made "Wish" boring. Disney background characters used to look so unique and diverse, and the villains used to look so cool in design and had several traits in their features that exaggerated them being sinister, scary and even playful. King Magnifico being so handsome honestly makes me take him less seriously as a villain, if he was ugly yet confident like Yzma from "The Emperor's Groove" or couldve been anonymous by wearing a mask for most of the film, then maybe he would've had more charm to him.

I’m a huge fan of musical broadways. Wish on the other hand… why?? Yes, there are a few modern pop music in Hazbin hotel but it’s not out of place.

[@mer_acle8101]

I feel sorry for the song writer. They didn't even let her see the movie beforehand and now all the internet is laughing at her. Yes the songs are hot garbage but what potential she might have had to make them better, disney took away

[@YourgirlieLeila-505]

The thought of Disney collapsing kills my inner child. But it’s true….

[@hurin1]

Minor correction. In the conflict between Vox and Alastor 7 years prior Vox won. Though the way it is phrased in the show is that he almost lost to Alastor. Which is still to say that he won... but it was close. Thus Alastor retreated but Vox is still scared of having to fight him again. He may have had help beating him from the other Vees. But I also suspect that he was backed by someone like Alastor is. That is I think someone has the Vees souls and is boosting their power.

[@spinedotlazuli1120k]

It's not actually confirmed tho

[@hurin1]

@@spinedotlazuli1120k Agreed. We only have Val's words to go on and the absence of Alastor for 7 years. Val stating that Vox almost lost could have been bragging. But we do know that something caused Alastor to go missing for 7 years.

[@rachelryan84]

My guess Vox won but in an event Allistor wasn't actually competing in.

7:28 I personally thought that the style change in Stayed Gone was supposed to show that even though Vox is evil(or tires to be) behind closed doors, he has to be apealing to the public eye to keep up his reputation and in order not to lose his viewers' trust and respect

[@jean-claudelepingouin2716]

Yeah Hazbin Hotel just have gay characters but this is not the main element in the promotion and don't say that we should like just because it's gay

[@AedraRising]

That's the thing, Hazbin was made by someone who is queer so you know all of the LGBT characters in the show are all genuine. With Disney it's just not. It feels cheap.

[@L-ghtlessSky]

@@AedraRisingDisney has a gay character’s WHOLE character be gayness

[@Fefe65800]

Honestly i think that disney tries to bury their gay characters, rather than openly show them like you said. One of Wade's siblings, the cop from Onward, the main character from strange world. They're all under a sheet of plausible deniability so disney can say that they have gay characters, while also keeping the money going from homophobic sponsors and countries. There's a reason why the owl house was cancelled despite being one of the most successful animated series I Disney history

[@generalerica4123]

@L-ghtlessSky I mean Stolas from Helluva Boss is also aggressively gay, but in a very... natural way. I guess spoken in metaphors in the Hellaverse the sexuality is a piece in the jigsaw puzzle that makes up a character, whereas with disney it feels like youve got a blank jigsaw puzzle with the sexuality-piece taped onto it to distract from the fact that THE ENTIRE PUZZLE IS BLANK

[@prinitykat]

Greetings! I’m a musical theatre actor who has been training since I was 14 years old to become professional. I’m currently in numerous productions and conservatory (aka professional theatre college) I appreciate videos like this which point out a few things about how the musical genre works. Musicals are a story told through music and acting and ironically a lot of people forget that. Songs have a purpose otherwise they aren’t included because of time. Every song either is supposed to be a character driven song aka a song where we hear a characters personality/wishes and desires and goals, or a plot driven song, a song that drives the plot forwards and established key details or motifs. Only rarely do you have songs like “Be Our Guest” from Beauty and the Beast which is a showstopper fun number. I haven’t seen Wish but I definitely have checked out the music, and I genuinely feel disappointed. Magnifico genuinely in his song depressed me so much I had to take a moment to sit in silence to process what was really being projected into my eardrums. Villains typically get “I Am” songs, songs that establish them as a villain without diving deep too much into their wants or desires because that makes them more 2D and therefore harder to relate to. It helps flesh out the protagonist in comparison. But Magnifico’s song is so entirely bland and establishes what we supposedly already know and repeats so many times that it’s not innovative enough to actually establish his character all that well. It also doesn’t show off what he’s like as a threat. If we look at Poor Unfortunate Souls for an example, we get that Ursula is evil. We see that. And we generally know her deal before the song. However, the song illustrates how dangerous she is, how cunning she is, her mastery of manipulation which is a common thread from that moment onwards in the story and is key to the climax where we have the final fight. Magnifico just seems like some guy…almost as if they wanted him to be quirky like Asha but terrifying and imposing and couldn’t seem to pick so they waffled back and forth. What we’re left with is nothing because it doesn’t enhance anything so we’re right back where we started. You could cut the song entirely and you’d still be left with knowing what kind of person Magnifico is and what “threat” he poses. 😂😭

[@Brojogon]

This comment is pure facts. King Magnifico's villain song's only purpose is to tell you how soulless and badly written the villain is. Where did the budget even go?

[@マーセリン-n9p]

It makes me so happy how hazbin hotel is made with so much love and it is easy to notice in the series, even the voice actors enjoy a lot to be part of the show and have a "connection" with the characters they play. I've seen the cast meetings and it's so nice how they get along so well and it's noticeable how they love the project

[@Maōkonton]

One thing that makes hazbin hotel character design awesome in my eyes is that each character has an alignment they follow Like charlie is chaotic good, vagi’s lawful neutral, alastor’s lawful chaotic (follow’s a code but no one can tell what in h*ll it is) While other shows don’t seem to go as in depth with the designs and allignments, like how you mentioned that you couldn’t tell if the dude was a jock who needed help or a maniac who needed to be beaten Just makes hazbin hotel feel more real and engaging to me

I actually remember finishing hazbin hotel first season and thinking to myself what the fuck Disney? The billion dollar giant that pioneered this industry of animation and musicals, and they spectacularly dropped the ball. The ball didn’t even touch any air. It went straight from their hands and teleported into the ground.

The main drawback I find with Hazbin Hotel is that they weren't given enough time. A series with a planned 16 episodes in the first season were only given eight, with a decidedly short runtime (the actual episodes lasted 20 minutes, not even up to the normal 24). Almost every single gosh darned problem the show has could be solved with double the runtime. The show runners, cast, animators, everyone working on the show showed they could do it with a genuinely hooking first season with less time than most modern films. The second season will be great, and hopefully they'll be given more time to breathe inbetween story arcs.

[@Someduude]

Yeah, the only thing bad about it was the pacing. That’s really my only criticism. And even then it gets nullified because animation is expensive.

[@sarahzahira7432]

​@@Someduude yup same thing happen with Miraculous Ladybug cause the creator originally wanted it to be 2D but its expensive and aswell hard to animate Ladybug's suit patterns, plus one good thing that Vivzie did is stand on her ground to make Hazbin Hotel 2D instead of moving to 3D.
