How the Internet Roasted Wish (2023)

Was Wish the ultimate celebration of one hundred years of Disney? Or one of the worst musicals ever? Here's a mix of Letterboxd movie reviews to see how some roasted the movie, made jokes out of it, shared their suffering, or actually enjoyed it!

The internet may disagree on a lot of things, but the fact that this movie was garbage and an abomination to Disney's reputation was one of those things we all had to agree on.

I didn't find anything wrong with it on my first watch, until I heard out people's arguments.

"Its a kids movie" is just the weakest argument in the world, and its also just _insulting_ to kids. Like, do kids not deserve to watch GOOD movies too? They're in the formative years, why should they have to watch garbage?

[@therighttrousers343]

this is an anniversary movie. It references things over the span of 100 years. You stop being a child at 18. If it references things made before 2005, it's referencing media within the childhoods of people who are now adults. So the people most likely to know of and engage with those references would be adults. Therefore, this movie was made understanding it would be watched by adults. I don't think that argument ever holds water, but if ever there was a place to take a stand with it, it isn't on the 100 year anniversary movie.

[@injuringchip3161]

I think what's funnier about forgetting Meet The Robinsons is the fact that the message of the film is that you should "Keep Moving Forward!" or else you'll be stuck in the past like Bowler Hat Guy. Disney is Bowler Hat Guy. Yes, without the charm, personality and sympathy. If I personally saw Disney hunched over in a closed down diner, I would yell at them to stop exploiting queer people for money

[@PEHfinale]

In response to Belis' complaint about adults watching "movies made for kids", I leave this quote from Walt Disney himself: "In planning a new picture, we don't think of grown-ups, and we don't think of children. But just of that fine, clean, unspoiled spot down deep in every one of us, that maybe the world has made us forget."

[@kikothesamurai]

I’d argue that this movie was geared EXACTLY towards adults. Specifically adults blinded by nostalgia and adults who love the classic movies. All of the cut-content, the egregious amount of Easter eggs, the promise of a straight up evil villain, and obviously this movie commemorating the anniversary suggest they were trying to attract those specific groups. They wouldn’t had bothered with all of this if it was just a kids movie.

[@caoinhnamkhanh2795]

'Why are adults watching this when this movie is clearly targetted at nostalgia ridden adults????'

[@nikguimont8546]

What always bothers me when I see people say “why are you being so critical of something made for kids” is like you went and looked at someone’s review and or critique of a kids movie no one‘s forcing you to look at that

[@crystalwings4520]

​​​​@@nikguimont8546I think they're expecting kids to give a review of a so-claimed 'kids media', yet they don't know not all kids have access to the internet... Unless if it's something like internet kids. Also the 'it's a kids (insert any media here)' argument is getting old and weak counter argument. And as someone pointed out, Disney movies and other animated movies are not actually intended to have kids audience only, *_but a family movie! The whole family!_* (minus the adults only animated series) It's really baffling to see how Belis has such narrow minded thinking like that.

[@toastwell6488]

I loved Enchanted as a kid. I should rewatch it.

[@whitewolf1310]

I thought the exact same thing! Imagine if the movie's release dates were switched and Enchanted was the 100th anniversary. That would've been WAY more fitting. Because Enchanted is not just a humorous parody of past Disney movies, it's also a celebration with clearly a lot of love and effort put into it, and the songs and musical numbers are all memorable and written by the legendary Alan Menkin. It follows the Mel Brooks rule of "you have to love what you're parodying." Wish on the other hand felt soulless and half-assed. The story and songs felt like they were written by A.I and everything else was *insert past reference here* and *insert pop song there.* And the worst part of it all is that if you saw the original concept, you realize it could've been great.

[@Mayoooooooooooooo]

@@rdxdd of course. This is copy pasted directly from the chat (Verse 1) In the shadows I’ve been dwelling, While those fools steal all the praise, I’m the mastermind, the genius, But they give me no displays. They laugh and cheer for heroes, While my brilliance goes unseen, I’m the one who pulls the strings here, Yet they treat me so obscene. (Chorus) Oh, the glory I deserve, Is a crown and throne of gold, For my cunning and my vision, In the stories yet untold. They'll see the truth, they'll see the light, When I rise above the fray, For the glory I deserve, I will seize it all today. (Verse 2) In the darkness, I have plotted, Every scheme so grand and bold, But they only see the surface, Of the tales that I unfold. Their applause is misdirected, To the ones who play it safe, I’m the architect of chaos, And the world I’ll soon reshape. (Chorus) Oh, the glory I deserve, Is a crown and throne of gold, For my cunning and my vision, In the stories yet untold. They'll see the truth, they'll see the light, When I rise above the fray, For the glory I deserve, I will seize it all today. (Bridge) When the curtains fall, and they see it all, They’ll bow to my command, For the puppet master’s victory, Is a fate they’ll understand. (Chorus) Oh, the glory I deserve, Is a crown and throne of gold, For my cunning and my vision, In the stories yet untold. They'll see the truth, they'll see the light, When I rise above the fray, For the glory I deserve, I will seize it all today. (Outro) Yes, the glory I deserve, In the end, it will be mine, For the world will see my brilliance, And they'll know I am divine.

Love how Puss in Boots: The Last Wish was released the year prior by Dreamworks and also had a fairytale basis, an entertainingly evil villain that pays homage to classic Disney villains, and the wishing star, but is actually really good and far more special of a film

[@LeoDBW]

This is infuriating honestly, because Disney always place itself at the top of animated movies, and yet, Dreamworks has also made some gorgeous, funny, beloved movies, and they are still trying differents things animation-wise, and they're a way smaller company, while Disney is LOADED and yet they just gave up on creativity.

I now want the movie to have this plot: Asha, in a burst of careless chaos, tries to figure out how to grant wishes herself. She takes an innocent-looking wish and grants it.

She sets off to extract the wish from the new villain, unsure if it can even be done... Thanks for the plot bunnies!

why did they frame him like this when he's literally right?! just make him the hero why is that so hard Disney.

[@elsinaattheworkshop]

Magnifico's logic: "Lets not grant potentially harmful wishes and let them forget so they don't try to carry it out themselves" Asha's logic: "Let's grant their wishes and only stop them if it's dangerous, you know instead of preventing it in the first palce"

[@eaglefan2569]

There should absolutely have been bad wishes present for Asha to stumble upon. Granted that "bad" can occasionally be subjective- like wishing for oneself to never feel pain may not seem too bad to the person who wished it but might cause future problems- but you can't tell me no one in Rosas has ever had bad thoughts, enough to make it into wishes. Not a single person in Rosas wishing to be with someone against their will? Wanting to be the ONLY person good at something? Maybe a little bit of narcissistic greed? C'mon now. You wouldn't JUST move to Rosas to try and get pure-hearted wishes granted; you go to Rosas because you want a wish you never can or never wish to fulfill yourself. Trying to push the agenda that only VERY specific people have bad and selfish wishes is one of many bad messages this movie has.

[@crazycookie4645]

Granted, I'm not as mouth-frothingly furious as many others are about this movie, but: 1) I wish they would've kept it so that Magnifico and Amaya were BOTH the villains. It'd be a nice subversion of the power of love always being on the heroes' side. They could've made their backstory so that, after spending their entire lives being ignored by the world, they both learned wish-granting magic and founded their kingdom in order to get the approval of others. Then at end, when they are both about to be trapped in the mirror, they realize what they really wanted was to FEEL wanted, which they already had since they wanted each other and no one else. Cue bittersweet ending where they are both trapped forever, but at least they are trapped together and will never feel unwanted again. 2) If Asha and Starboy really were supposed to be a romantic couple (I'm not completely sure if that was the original plan) and Asha being given a magic wand implies that she's going to become the Fairy Godmother, imagine how sweet that would be for the Fairy Godmother's backstory. That the source of her magic is that she and the wishing star are in love, and together, they use their love-powered magic to make people's seemingly impossible dreams come true.

I’m a king Magnifico defender, he genuinely had a point with the whole “wishes can be dangerous” thing because a lot of people sadly aren’t good people. Not to mention the movie forgot that this dude was literally a victim whose entire nation was destroyed because of bad people when he was younger. He wasn’t evil, he was doing this to protect them. The movie did a real bad job with his character because one minute he is a genuinely good guy then he becomes a prick way before he gets ahold of the book. And he seemed to genuinely care about wishes and keeping peace so why all of the sudden “oh it’s a lie I’m actually selfish muahaha”. It’s like they couldn’t pick a side, either make the dude a villain or not Disney. Also I actually liked Chris Pines acting in this, there were points in the movie he sounded like an actual man losing his sanity and that was one of the few things I liked about the movie. Other than that it just made me so upset how they absolutely destroyed an amazing concept. I would have loved if they made both Magnifico and the queen a purely evil couple who just wanted magic and power. If they made him a misunderstood character who wasn’t the villain but made out to be I think it would have been awesome if after he started going insane with his magic his wife and to give him true loves kiss to save him. A switch in the kissing the princess to save her trope would have been adorable but nope. Disney fumbled hard, I’m really hoping they see the hate they got and decide to remake the movie because a concept like they had before should not go unused.

I’ve always thought that Asha and Magnifico should switch places. Asha is the Princess of Rosas and her father’s the one who grants wishes. Magnifico is the poor citizen who couldn’t get his wish granted (his wish was to be loved and praised). So he wishes upon a star and that star is Amaya. He then starts to steal wishes and giving them away for free. Not realizing what he is doing is wrong. But it’s not like he cares. He just cares about the fame. This would make, “And This Is The Thanks I Get?” A better villain song. Also, Magnifico took over the castle. Sends Asha’s father to prison. And Asha ran away to her friend Dalia’s house. After hiding there for a long time, Asha wishes upon another star to help her. That being Starboy.

[@Bismuguy]

1: Disney probably has an ip that tells what this movie was trying to say way better 2: The writers of this movie were either on drugs or using ai and every day it feels more like the latter 3: i'm suprised joey hasnt done lalaloopsy movie reviews yet, considering she's done multiple other girl-orientated media

[@thegothbunny]

I agree with you! But I also wanna mention two things for more context: About 1: yep, plenty of them actually touch some of the themes way better (and they're more than 1 bc they went and made Wish's message be ambiguous and vague af, another writing fail). The 2 who touch the most similar thematics are Enchanted and Princess and the Frog, both also have a Cynical vs Idealistic debate in the main characters, just like Wish does (difference being again that Wish does it terribly, painting idealism as the ONLY right point of view and cynicism as a mindset only _e v i l_ people have) In regards of 2: to be fair, the writers did have great ideas, and had already written most, if not the entire movie, before executive meddling did what it usually does and threw everything to the trash at last minute, forcing writers to create an entirely new story that followed all their unreasonable demands within an even shorter deadline. Same happened with the songs, there's been pop artists writing for Disney movies before, and they were never bad at it, not at all, much less THIS bad. To be fair to Julia Michaels, she was given extremely little time (iirc, 2 weeks) and little to no info about the movie's plot, themes, elements, characters, or anything, all of the songs were released almost exactly as they were in their rough draft/prototype versions, which in any normal production is an absolute no-no. All in all, it seems Disney set themselves up for failure. At this rate, I would 100% believe if someone told me the executives over there have some sort of money/prestige-losing fetish or something, what with how jolly they act about making absolute garbage that they already know won't get them much fans adoration nor money all the time.

[@Mouse2017]

I think people forget is that Wish wasn't marketed as a Kids Movie it was marketed as a movie for everyone. Therefore it should have a decent ass plot that everyone should enjoy (or at the very least the average joe should enjoy). If they wanted to make a purely kids movie they could have done that but they made the mistake of advertising it to everyone therefore it got criticism as such, animation is not a genre it's a method of delivery and disney did not deliver

@@amandamakin1542Speaking of which, my personal theory on the scathing hate against Wish is that it has mostly stemmed from millennials who easily see the hand-drawn medium through rose-colored glasses and often associate that particular medium with the ones they grew up with, which are most notably the Disney classics, the Disney Renaissance, and the 80s Don Bluth films. That particular generation must’ve been what most of Princess and the Frog’s revenue was presumably garnered from.

@Chaki21 Apparently the suits at Disney were under the impression that having the word "princess" in the title made it seem like it was for a female audience, which was the same for the 2011 Winnie-the-Pooh in which they thought it was for a preschool audience, hence the reason why their Rapunzel and Snow Queen adaptations are now under the Tangled and Frozen monikers respectively, the latter of which became their feature animation division's first juggernaut of a success since The Lion King.

The plot to this movie is basically Paper Mario Paper Mario: An evil king (Bowser) has taken over everyone’s wishes. So (Mario) encounters a star kid. And several friends along the way help with (Mario) to stop the king. Wish: An evil king (the Chris Pine character) has taken over everyone’s wishes. So (Asha) encounters a star kid. And several friends along the way help with (Asha) to stop the king.

[@whitewolf1310]

The big difference though is that in Paper Mario, the Star Spirits clearly state that they sometimes get some horrible and selfish wishes that are never granted for obvious reasons, and that's why Bowser stole the Star Rod because he was angry that his wishes to kill Mario and his wishes to make Princess Peach love him were being ungranted. But in Wish, the movie's lesson is "everyone deserves to have their wishes granted!"

Wish is so tragic in many ways. Especially erased concepts like Star Boy. Even though they made it so the movie no longer had a romance in it, I still feel that we are missing part of the story. Fanart and fanworks have worked on Starboy and Asha’s relationship that it feels like their romance was ripped away from them and now we have a very meta love story in a sense. Like it feels like it was meant to happen but then it just didn’t and now it’s actually really sad. Starboy was robbed from us and Asha.
