I think Wish’s villain (King Magnifico) mainly fails because he had no evil plan or anything until near the end when he becomes a “villain”. I think a better way to write his character would be to have him secretly keep the wishes to use their power for some massive scheme (maybe like turning his people into an army to take back his former land or something) and have Asha try to expose him. This is how it could work: 1)King wants people in his kingdom to build an army 2)Creates a kingdom free of rent and grants wishes to bring in the most desperate kinds of people 3)Doesn’t give back wishes that he won’t grant so he can use its power in the climax 4)Gets enough people to enact his plan and take back his former land. Simple.

Talking about bland heroes and interesting villains - most of the early heroes just had the motive of "be good" and the plot happened to them. Meanwhile, the villains wanted to gain power, be the most beautiful, gain revenge on the kingdom. Magnifico didn't seem to have a motive or a plan aside from rule the kingdom, but he also didn't have someone to bounce off of since Asha also didn't have a plan aside from stop Magnifico from ruling the kingdom. They almost touched on it with the crashed ship and Asha's dad, but then just forgot about it for the rest of the film. Everyone was just sort of along for the journey, no one was propelling it.

That doesn't paint Magnifico as a bad person at all. This actually sounds like Magnifico is a Hero. I mean, we got lot of stories about heroes who build a team or an army to defeat their enemies and take back the things they have lost. What you have written is a typical heroic story. And this is set in ancient times and war is a thing back then (Like what happens in Mulan). Building an army and being a soldier is a very good thing. Heck, all these people Magnifico helped would actually gladly fight for him, and that includes Asha. And heck, Kings should have armies, whole military in fact.

@@rosverlegaspo6752I know what you mean but when i said “Turn his people into an army” i meant as in mind controlling them against their will. In my post i said that Magnifico would try to gather as many DESPERATE people as possible to steal their wishes for himself. If these people are desperate, then they wouldn’t willingly fight in wars considered they probably fled from war-torn countries or something similar to this safe haven. In short, Magnifico FORCEFULLY creates an army using all of his people and is fuelled by REVENGE. (I admit i could’ve been a bit more clear on why that made Magnifico evil in the first place tho)
@SpiderkillersInc5 ай бұрын
Looking over the deleted scenes, one of Magnifico’s early incarnations had the goal of bringing a star down from the sky for himself because he feels empty inside. This is when he and Amaya were evil together. Also, to compensate for when his attempts fail, he eats the wishes, with Amaya having to stop him from being too brazen about it. That’s an interesting dynamic, Magnifico wanting the wishing star because he feels empty and hollow and thinks only by getting it will he be satisfied while Amaya helps him out of sincere love while preventing him from going too far.

Magnifico has a lot of issues as a villain, but probably the biggest one is that, when it comes to the main conflict, his stance actually makes more sense than the heroes' does. Which in itself wouldn't be an issue if they were actually trying to do one of their more nuanced, "no real bad guy" plots like they've been doing recently, but it doesn't work because the filmmakers clearly didn't even realise this nuance. There's certainly flaws in Magnifico's ideas, but on the whole his system works too well for it to really feel like a problem that needs to be solved (especially when they actually changed and removed the scenes and concepts that actually would have shown it in a worse light). And even with the issues that are there, Asha never really gives much of a valid or pragmatic alternative to them, but the film treats her as unequivocally in the right and ends up using a literal magic book to turn Magnifico fully evil so they can avoid having any kind of nuanced conflict or discussion over it. The filmmakers wanted Magnifico to be a throwback to their classic, irredeemable villains, but in execution he ends up looking more sympathetic and reasonable than Abuela from _Encanto_ did.

I agree with a lot of this, but I’d argue that Magnifico shouldn’t have been a villain at all. For context, I have complex-post traumatic stress disorder as a result of extensive childhood trauma - I live every single day in a state of fear for my own safety and literally anything can be a threat for me. So when I saw Wish, I was shocked to see a character who almost perfectly portrays what trauma does to a person. I’m not kidding! He had it all: the obsessive overanalysing, the tendency to lash out when prodded a little too hard, even his initial reaction to Star’s arrival - the man almost fainted in the presence of pure, unbridled joy! I *adored* Magnifico’s portrayal and would probably hug Chris Pine for giving me this fully relatable character. My personal take is that Disney had no idea what they were creating with Magnifico. Either they made him and realised he wasn’t evil enough, or they leaned too hard (yet not hard enough) into his moral reasoning. Whichever the case, Magnifico isn’t fit to be a villain any more than Alma was in Encanto. This feels a lot like “he’s evil because mental illness”, which is the last thing anyone should do with a villain.

@@OcraStars From what we do know of their original plans, Magnifico being an irredeemable villain was always the idea, but in the earlier drafts he was actually way, _way_ worse. There was no trauma or sympathetic backstory, he was already abusing his power from the start (e.g. destroying/consuming wishes, which he doesn't resort to until much later in the finished film) and while his main subjects were fooled by his propaganda, everyone else clearly saw him as a monstrous tyrant and the kingdom wasn't prospering until his rule. For whatever reason, they decided to heavily tone him down to make him less scary, but the changes they made and the subtext that comes with them - like the fact that everybody _is_ legit happy under him or, as you mentioned with his tragic upbringing, a lot of his actions can easily be read as PTSD-related - completely contradicts the irredeemable, evil monster that they still wanted him to be.

To me, Gothel in Tangled was the last good villain in a Disney movie. You knew her motivations from the beginning. They didn’t try to make her ambiguous in her actions. It was a simple motivation. She wanted the golden flower to keep herself young. The flower was taken from her, so she tried to get it back by cutting a piece of Rapunzel’s hair. When that didn’t work, she did the next thing she could. She took Rapunzel and did everything in her power to keep her there. Did she have powers/magic like Maleficent? No. But she still bullied Rapunzel into staying in the tower and manipulated her. And that was it. That was all you needed. There was no moral ambiguity. She like the other Disney villains of the past was evil and that was it. I feel like they tried that with Magnifico. I don’t know, maybe one more rewrite could’ve helped.

The key is to make a villain simultaneously competent and memorable. Some villains are perfectly competent but are forgettable; whilst others are memorable for being incompetent (we are looking at you Gabriel Agreste and stormtroopers). In order for a villain to really work they must be a blend of fashion and function. Too many times people think that making villains not as wicked makes them better, but in truth you risk making them less memorable and less charismatic. The villain must fit the setting (you wouldn't put a Disney villain in The Walking Dead), serve a meaningful function in the plot, must be competent, and must be memorable. If these elements are absent, it will definitely hurt someones work. I am in the process of writing a villain whose primary ambitions are fulfilling all of her hedonistic vices and becoming a powerful witch; she is not morally ambiguous in the least but I am hoping she is going to be iconic.

I watched a documentary about the production of Wish, and one thing grabbed my attention: Magnifico started as a tyrannical king that wanted to devour wishes from everyone outside of Rosas and wanted to steal a star from the night sky to gain power to rule over them. While practicing imperialism over everyone else, he used propaganda to gain the support of his own kingdom , Rosas. But then Jennifer Lee and the other producers and directors got cold feet. They literally wanted to "Justify his actions to the audience". They didn't believe someone could be just greed and selfish with selfish and greedy motives, or that anyone could support an openly greedy and selfish leader. He then was rewritten to be a narcissistic king with a sad backstory that was corrupted by pride in the end. They described the film as his villain origin story. Disney as a company isn't scared of villains. We still have villains in other divisions of the company. The real reason why we don't have any good new villain from Disney Animation is because its creative leadership think they have to justify the existence of a villain to the audience.

I'm gonna be honest here, the latest 'movie' villains Disney has made have been pretty bland to bad. But their cartoon villains have done justice to the villains of the past. Look at Bill Cipher, Lord Dominator, The Core, King Andrias, heck, Belos. All of these villains are incredible and they bounce off the heroes in ways that makes you want to hate them. Bill wanted to reach the material world and unleash chaos and was willing to make deals and trick people into doing what he wanted, playing on their deepest and darkest desires to his advantage. Lord Dominator bounced off Wander and the other heroes so well because she is such a legit threat but isn't serious all the time, instead she just loves being the bad girl of the story and when she wins she is bored. Magnifico doesn't really have that much in terms of what he does is considered evil or understandable. The movies just have to pick up on what the cartoons have been putting out.

However, Magnifico seems more like a frustrated dad with lots of ego and issues who's trying to teach his kid a life lesson instead of being the main villain. Actually, with how the story went, it made it seem like Asha was the bad guy for wanting all wishes to be granted even though not all wishes would have good intentions while Magnifico is trying to get her to understand that not all wishes are supposed to be granted which just confuses the characters' roles as Asha is supposed to be the protagonist and Magnifico the antagonist but how it's portrayed is mixing it up.

The earlier drafts and deleted scenes actually do show Magnifico (along with his Queen, who was also a villain) as a corrupt merciless tyrant, which not only would have made him way more enjoyable to watch, but also made Asha and the other characters way more justified in working to bring him down.

Now these days, Disney is too scared to frighten the two-year-olds, that they forgotten how to make a good film. Maybe some of you would disagree with me on that regard that they haven’t made any extraordinarily good villains as of late, But since they’re so scared to frighten kids with movies that are engaging, they make their movies and no central story. Wish was just one of the examples that Disney has lost their touch. They only care about how much money the film is making them(and most of the time their new films have been bombing so they haven’t gotten any money anyway!). There too scared to upset people and they’re too scared to make creative decisions so they turn to making bland dialogue and songs that have no rhythm

I just hope that in the movie of Shrek 5, once Disney buys DreamWorks, all The Official Disney Princes and all The Official Disney Princesses appear, especially the most important character in the movie of The Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea, Melody, The Daughter of Prince Eric and Princess Ariel, with her best friends Tip, Dash, Kiera and Catalina, and besides, they will be the new main characters of the movie of Shrek 5 so that they help Shrek, Princess Fiona, Donkey, Dragon, Puss in Boots, Kitty Softpaws, Perrito, Dulcinea, The Three Diablos, Goldilocks, The Three Bears, Prince Lancelot, Princess Tiffany, King Artie, Princess Guinevere, The Children of Shrek and Princess Fiona: Fergus, Farkle and Felicia, The Children of Donkey and Dragon: Bananas, Parfait, Peanut, Eclair, Coco and Debbie and The Others to defeat Rumpelstiltskin, Death, all The Official Villains of Disney and all The Official Villains of DreamWorks, as Queen Grimhilde, Lady Tremaine, Maleficent, Marina del Rey, Ursula, Gaston LeGume, Jafar, John Ratcliffe, Shan Yu, Dr. Facilier, Zhan Tiri, Judge Claude Frollo, Mother Gothel, Tamatoa, Kakamora, Drago Bludvist, Grimmel The Grisly, Mor'du, King Runeard, Prince Hans, Pitch Black, The Druun, The Soldiers, Dr. Zara, Queen Nerissa, King Magnifico, Morgana, Evil Rapunzel and Drizella Tremaine, and to prevent Rumpelstiltskin, Death, all The Official Villains of Disney and all The Official Villains of DreamWorks from ruling and destroying all The Multiverse Forever, especially The Kingdom of Far Far Away, Shrek along with his wife named Princess Fiona will need help from their new friends which are all The Official Disney Princes and all The Official Disney Princesses, as Prince Florian, Princess Snow White, Prince Charming, Princess Cinderella, The Baker, Anastasia Tremaine, Prince Philip, Princess Aurora, Prince Eric, Princess Ariel, Prince Adam, Princess Belle, Prince Aladdin, Princess Jasmine, Prince John Smith, Princess Pocahontas, Prince Li Shang, Princess Fa Mulan, Prince Naveen, Princess Tiana, Prince Flynn Rider, Princess Rapunzel, Varian, Cassandra, Maui, Queen Moana Waialiki, Hiccup Haddock, Princess Merida, Kristoff Bjorgman, Queen Anna, Jack Frost, Princess Elsa, Jin, Yi, Connor, Ruby Gillman, Starboy, Princess Asha, Mateo, Queen Elena, Prince Desmond, Princess Amber, Prince James, Princess Isabel, Prince Hugo, Princess Sofia, The Futuristic Four, Princess Raya, Princess Mirabel Madrigal, Namaari, The Other Six Princesses of The Kingdom of Atlantica and Melody, but actually, Melody is The First and Only that she is not a True Official Disney Princess, because Melody made her debut in the movie of The Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea and it is also because she is The First and Only Daughter of an Official Disney Princess, but Shrek, Princess Fiona, Donkey, Dragon, Puss in Boots, Kitty Softpaws, Perrito, Dulcinea, The Three Diablos, Goldilocks, The Three Bears, Prince Lancelot, Princess Tiffany, King Artie, Princess Guinevere, The Children of Shrek and Princess Fiona: Fergus, Farkle and Felicia, The Children of Donkey and Dragon: Bananas, Parfait, Peanut, Eclair, Coco and Debbie and The Others also need Melody's help to protect and save all The Multiverse, especially Their Kingdom of Far Far Away away from Rumpelstiltskin, Death, all The Official Villains of Disney and all The Official Villains of DreamWorks, because Melody is The Daughter of Prince Eric and Princess Ariel, but also The Death of Queen Lillian, because since her husband named King Harold passed away in the movie of Shrek 3, she has felt heartbroken and that caused her own death in her Kingdom of Far Far Away, and all The Inhabitants of The Kingdom of Far Far Away are saddened by The Death of Queen Lillian, because now she is with her husband named King Harold in heaven, and now they have lost their queen, that means now The Kingdom of Far Far Away needs a new queen and King Artie said that his love interest, girlfriend, fiancée and former classmate from Worcestershire school called Princess Guinevere would be the one to be The New Queen of Far Far Away, so King Artie decided to return to his old school called Worcestershire along with Shrek, with his older cousin Princess Fiona, with Donkey, with Dragon, with Puss in Boots, with Kitty Softpaws, with Perrito, with Dulcinea, with The Three Diablos, with Goldilocks, with The Three Bears, with The Children of Shrek and Princess Fiona: Fergus, Farkle and Felicia, with The Children of Donkey and Dragon: Bananas, Parfait, Peanut, Eclair, Coco and Debbie and with the Others to meet again with their friends from their school who are actually Prince Lancelot, Princess Tiffany and his love interest, girlfriend and fiancée Princess Guinevere to take them back to his Kingdom of Far Far Away, and also The Romance of all The Official Disney Princes and all The Official Disney Princesses, especially The Romance of Maui and Queen Moana Waialiki, The Romance of Hiccup Haddock and Princess Merida, The Romance of Jack Frost and Princess Elsa, The Romance of Varian and Cassandra, The Romance of Starboy and Princess Asha, The Romance of Prince Lancelot and Princess Tiffany and The Romance of King Artie and Princess Guinevere, because I think that Maui will be Queen Moana Waialiki's love interest, boyfriend and fiancé, while Hiccup Haddock will be Princess Merida's love interest and boyfriend, Princess Tiffany will be Prince Lancelot's love interest, girlfriend and fiancée and Princess Guinevere will be King Artie's love interest, girlfriend and fiancée, because Queen Moana Waialiki is going to fall in love with Maui, Princess Merida is going to fall in love Hiccup Haddock, Princess Tiffany is going to fall in love with Prince Lancelot and Princess Guinevere is going to fall in love with King Artie, but they don't know how to tell them their feelings towards them and neither how to win their hearts, because every time Queen Moana Waialiki gets too close to Maui when it comes to true love, she gets very nervous with him, while which in the case of Princess Merida is also the same, because whenever Princess Merida gets too close to Hiccup Haddock when it comes to true love, she also gets very nervous with him, in the case of Princess Tiffany it is also the same, because whenever Princess Tiffany gets too close to Prince Lancelot when it comes to true love, she also gets very nervous around him, and in the case of Princess Guinevere too, because every time Princess Guinevere gets too close to King Artie when it comes to true love, she also gets very nervous around him, but luckily for them, Princess Fiona will help Queen Moana Waialiki to win The Heart of Maui, also Princess Merida to win The Heart of Hiccup Haddock, also Princess Tiffany to win The Heart of Prince Lancelot and also Princess Guinevere to win The Heart of King Artie, and I also want that Jack Frost will be Princess Elsa's love interest and boyfriend and Varian will be Cassandra's love interest and boyfriend, because Jack Frost leaves fall in love with Princess Elsa, but he doesn't know how to tell her his feelings and how to win her heart, because every time Jack Frost gets too close to Princess Elsa when it comes to true love, he gets very nervous with her, because Varian leaves fall in love with Cassandra, but he doesn't know how to tell her his feelings and how to win her heart, because every time Varian gets too close to Cassandra when it comes to true love, he gets very nervous with her, but fortunately for they, Shrek will help Jack Frost to win The Heart of Princess Elsa and also Varian to win The Heart of Cassandra, except Goldilocks, Namaari, Princess Raya and Princess Mirabel Madrigal, because now they will be The Only Official Disney Princesses who do not need to have love interests and who can remain single forever, and also the same for Melody, The Daughter of Prince Eric and Princess Ariel, because like her new adoptive aunts Goldilocks, Namaari, Princess Raya and Princess Mirabel Madrigal, she doesn't need a love interest either, but also The Rivalry of King Artie and Queen Anna because they both want to compete in a challenge to see who is The Best Ruler of a Kingdom, because both want to do what is best for Their Own Kingdom, because King Artie wants to do the best for his Kingdom of Far Far Away because now he is The New King of Far Far Away and Queen Anna wants to do the best for her Kingdom of Arendelle because now she is The New Queen of Arendelle, but at the end, King Artie and Queen Anna become best friends in the world, because at the end, they both learned from their mistakes that they have made since their challenge to compete to see who is the best ruler of a Kingdom, and that at the end, King Artie and Princess Guinevere see their first true love kiss and that they become a romantic couple, just like Prince Lancelot and Princess Tiffany, and also that at the end of the movie of Shrek 5, Shrek becomes The New Leader of The Official Disney Princes and Maui, Hiccup Haddock, Kristoff Bjorgman, Jack Frost, Varian, Jin, Connor, The Baker, Starboy, Mateo, Prince Desmond, Prince James, Prince Hugo, Prince Lancelot and King Artie become The New Official Members of The Official Disney Princes, while Princess Fiona becomes The New Leader of The Official Disney Princesses and Queen Anna, Princess Elsa, Cassandra, Yi, Ruby Gillman, Anastasia Tremaine, Princess Asha, Queen Elena, Princess Amber, Princess Isabel, Princess Sofia, Goldilocks, Namaari, The Other Six Princesses of The Kingdom of Atlantica, Princess Mirabel Madrigal, Princess Tiffany and Princess Guinevere become The New Official Members of The Official Disney Princesses and that one day, Princess Tiffany will be The Wife of Prince Lancelot and that they have a family in the future, and that also Princess Guinevere is The Wife of King Artie, that they also have a family and that she becomes The New Queen of Far Far Away in The Future.

Just to be clear, not every story by a movie studio whether it’s animation or live action doesn’t always have to follow the hero-villain story arch. There are many Disney movies that doesn’t require a villain and it’s fine such as Bolt, Encanto, Ralph Breaks the Internet, or even Inside Out. Even other animated movie studios have a mix stories of hero-villain stories and non-hero-villain stories. So, in other words, Disney doesn’t have to always follow the hero-villain narrative formula since there are many Disney non-Disney movies that don’t follow that kind of formula. Non-Disney animated movies that don’t follow the trope.

I will say that twist villains - especially Disney twist villains - tend to suck in general. I am not surprised that Magnifico, who is technically one, also sucks. Also, making a villain irredeemably evil I believe came with other perks too - like cutting down runtime and having to squeeze in less character building/development because you didn't need to create sympathy for the villain or redeem them or to twist them into a villain or make them become a villain. And when you have an animated movie, that can make a huge difference in how long that'll take to animate. This is turn not only saves money, but ensures that if you suffer a loss, it's a lesser loss and also that you can then go onto making another movie sooner. It's not just fun to sometimes have them; it's practical too. Because it takes time to build up complex characters -- sometimes multiple movies or a series -- so it can be easier just having them being blackhearted and pure evil. The other alternative, I think, is making them a force of nature villain. But with sympathetic villains and twist villains, as well as villains that spiral into villainy, I'd argue you need more screentime than most family movies can afford, because it is doubtful that most kids will sit through 3 hour movie, and even then, that can still feel like not enough. Outside of modern remakes that actively turn villains into, well, non-villains, really (like Cruella or Maleficent), there aren't really many examples of movies going for complex character depictions, especially when it comes to villains, and the aforementioned examples, aren't, even really villains anymore. Maybe there's Joker, but like, he's not so much complex, as an unpredictable mystery, and any sympathy or complexity added to him was still added through multiple adaptations and not just one, so again... Also, in doing so, you'll probably find yourself sacrificing screentime for the main character's/protagonists development, which is not something creators tend to be willing to sacrifice. Even some of my favourite villains that have potential to be complex, never ended up being all that in execution, or at least not in such a way where it came across like so to most of the audience. If you're gonna do a movie with villains that are twist villains or complex characters, or something else, unless you're truly out to make a franchise, you're 90% likely to be setting yourself up for failure, far as I'm concerned. Or you make a series -- that's an option that I think creators should look into if they want to make something grander. Especially if it's Disney. On the other hand, if they genuinely want to make their good old fashioned villains, they should go for it, and make a movie that actually has a good old fashioned villain. Not Hans, or the Big Hero 6 villain, or Magnifico. Oh, and, a story clearly doesn't *need* a tangible, full-force villain to do well - Frozen, Encanto and Moana are obvious examples of this - but if you're gonna include a villain that is supposed to be a focus in the story (which, arguably, I mean, the twist villainy of Hans suggested that it was meant to be a focus, but it failed in execution, so while popular, it wasn't exactly well-written, imo - but if you're gonna have a full on villain, then OWN it.

If they make another movie they have to make her story to be based off an ACCUAL fairytale and the one fairytale disney hasnt toached is Swan Lake, disney can make the princess be a combenation of Pocahontas Mulan Aurora Cinderella and a bit of Snow White.

It would’ve been way cooler to have Magnifico’s wife also be evil. Especially since in the concept art, they look like Xanatos and Fox from Gargoyles, the original Disney villain power couple. Also the lack of any concrete goal or endgame for him. He really only starts acting evil after Asha steals the wishes, making me feel like she is responsible for most of the problems in that movie. Especially since the people of Rosas were perfectly content without their wishes, so her quest lacked any real urgency. Imagine if to make Magnifico more evil, he and his wife were using magical illusions to make the people think they were in constant danger from monsters. So Magnifico needed to drain the power of wishes in order to be strong enough to protect them all. The people are in a constant state of misery and heartbreak without their wishes, but to them it’s worth it. After all, what good are hopes and dreams if you’re dead. And if you want to shove in more callbacks to past movies, you can him battle illusions of Chernabog or Maleficent dragon. And after each battle he tells the people he needs more wishes to “keep them safe”. I don’t know, just something to make him more obviously evil rather than him have the more reasonable motive of not wanting to grant wishes without considering long term consequences.

To keep it short as I can. The present-day Disney falls short of the standards set by its past. The portrayal of its heroes and villains is simplistic, and the "misunderstood villains" concept is a mere ploy. It is disappointing to ascertain that the current management of Disney has veered off from the values upheld by the previous administration. Race-swapping is also a notable concern that cannot be ignored. It is crucial for established organizations to recognize that today's children are more proficient than ever, equipped to handle the darker themes that were once ubiquitous in Disney's 90s films.

I wish they could go back and cook up villians like they used to, because as a child villians were the last test for the hero to get their happy ending or prove themselfs and for adults villians are funny versions of desires or goals we can node along to. But i think disney can't cook them up anymore, in the sense of (parten my frence so to speak) they dont have the b*lls to steam on ahead with that kind of idear today like they could back then. Its all watered down today, has to include everyone, only be skindeep instead of fokusing on the whole charater, rewrite history and so on and on. Its like they are tiptooing around instead of taking a solid theme and going the full mile, magnifico is a good exsample of in disneys case to pick a lane and stick with it instead of this two sides clash, that dont mix well, either he is "evil evil" or he is the "evil because i thought it was the right way" no mixing the two.

After careful consideration, I have come to the conclusion that Disney's current productions are significantly less engaging than their previous works. They tend to create characters that are one-dimensional, portraying heroes and villains in a way that doesn't reflect the complexity of real-life situations. The concept of "misunderstood villains" that Disney often uses is a shallow attempt to add depth to their characters without actually fleshing them out. Through my research, I have discovered that the current management at Disney has a different perspective than their predecessors, which may be why there is such a stark contrast in the quality of their content. Additionally, the recent trend of race-swapping in Disney productions is a cause for concern. While diversity is an essential component of any modern story, it should be approached with care and sensitivity. Unfortunately, Disney seems to be using race-swapping as a way to check a box rather than an opportunity to create more authentic, diverse characters. Nonetheless, I believe that children are smarter than ever before, and they can handle darker themes that were once commonplace in Disney's 90s films. It is essential for Disney to recognize that kids today are more capable of understanding complex narratives and nuanced characters than they were in the past. In conclusion, I am hopeful that Disney will listen to its audience and take steps to improve the quality of their productions. By creating characters that are multi-dimensional and reflecting the diversity of our world in a meaningful way, Disney has the potential to inspire generations of viewers to come.

I wanted so badly to like Wish more than I did. I mean, this movie was meant to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Disney. Not only that, it was the origin story of the whimsical "When You Wish Upon A Star, Makes No Difference Who You Are" mantra. It could have been much better. That having been said, King Magnifico reminds me of another tantrum-throwing royal villain from this cartoon I used to watch on YTV when I was little. Especially when it comes to the moments they each get their comeuppance. King Magnifico, when trapped inside of his own scepter: No. No Amaya. NOT THE DUNGEON! IT SMELLS SO BAD DOWN THERE!!! Prince Lazuli from Rupert upon hearing he will be sentenced to hard labour in the mines of the Crystal Kingdom: BUT I DON'T LOOK GOOD IN OVERALLS!!! Both are lame.
