Disney has no excuse whatsoever for the train wreck that ended up being Wish’s script. The original concept for the movie was actually quite interesting, with the star shapeshifter love interest and the king/queen villain duo. I would’ve LOVED a married Disney villain power couple. The fact that the original concept was rejected in favor of a preachy, illogical mess that called the heroic king the villain and the self-centered brat the hero is appalling. And the CGI looked like something from the early 2000s.

How interesting there’s the comparison between Aladdin and Wish considering that Peter Jöback as the Swedish voice of Aladdin from the 90s made his return as the Swedish voice of King Magnifico.

Asha is my favorite disney villain

I just though the main character was selfish. She got upset because he wouldn't grant her grandad wish and thats it . I think the King not granting some wishs because it might dangerous is a valid reason. The sudden turn of the King becoming evil was poorly executed.

Wish is the type of movie youll forget about a week after its released 💀💀

I agree with most of your points, except for your note about Magnifico being good-natured and having the best interest of his people at heart at 5:50. Magnifico is an obvious narcissist, but he only seems benevolent at first because the people aren't questioning or challenging him in anyway. The first time he's questioned even a little bit he snaps and says he gets to decide. If he does anything nice for the people, it's only because he needs their undying loyalty and gratitude. He even quantifies that in his song about how many wishes he granted, as if to say "this amount seems just right to get the love and admiration I need from the people." If he really cared about them, he'd be granting wishes daily, at least the ones he deemed wouldn't be detrimental to Rosas. The movie isn't super clear on this, but I wonder if Magnifico knew that taking the wishes was causing people to feel like they've lost a part of themselves (at least at the beginning before he used the plot device book). On another point, I also found it annoying that the movie made it seem like the people were all living their best lives, except for Simon. He's the only character that seems to be suffering, though that may be because the focus is on the 7 characters under 18, except Simon who has lost his wish when he turned 18. Another glaring issue is the grandfather's wish. They clearly state the grandfather is 100 years old, but Magnifico looks to be in his 40s. When Magnifico either became king or figured out magic, did he round up everybody over 18 and collect all their wishes in bulk? Depending on when Magnifico started this, that was probably sometime in the last 20 years, so Sabino would have been 80 or older. For 80 years he never bothered to fulfill his own wish to inspire young people, which is just ridiculous. Even if somehow he would have figured it out in those 20 years, you'd think his wife or the other people in town would know what Sabino wanted to do with his life. Heck, I know that the person at Kroger I see a couple times a month has a kid and wants to be a nurse. You'd think a small town would have everybody knowing what their neighbors dreams are. Ryan George had a joke in his Pitch Meeting video about nobody ever writing down their wishes or telling anybody else about them before they're taken. Even if it didn't occur to somebody to write down their wishes in a normal situation, you'd think you'd write it down when you knew it would disappear as soon as you turned 18 and the king took it, at least from talking to other people who had that happen to them. Maybe an unmentioned rule of the magic is you can't talk about or write down your wish or it'll never come true.

I am not sure if wish was agenda driven or just a lazy "just for the sake of aniversary" project. I don't usually care about the visuals, but I atleast want a engaging storyline... honestly... you are right on alot of points... but for some reason I kinda want this movie to be a "bad ending scenario". They could've gone and made the movie in the way as "Asha wanting to set free the wishes for the people's sake" and then when magnifico gets captured we get a scene of realization, where magnifico gives out a "I told you so" speech. Magnifico could've been potrayed as a flawed king, who meant to do right, but got desperate at a sign of danger. The whole consuming wishes for magic is a great idea and Magnifico would have the outright evil and very darksided wishes as his main powersource, because he wanted to re-write and grant the vague or questionable wish in a way that would not only make a person happy, but also benefit the kingdom's peace. The book could've been sentient and give out faint whispers that go louder with each evil wish consumed. Only once magnifico runs out of evil wishes and the books voice is almost omnipresently loud he would consider taking the less incriminating wishes. then again I am probably trying to fix damage that is already done and ranting on a great youtube video that does what I am doing now probably better.

Also make the goat an actual character with actual jokes. Maybe he could of been the voice of reason like Sebastain was with Ariel or have him struggle with his new found awakening.

I like channels that don't just dunk on media that they think is bad, but offer how they would fix the issues. Keep it up!

The Super Mario Bros movie is the exact opposite when it comes to references as in easter eggs.

You have potential

Its the first disney movie were the villainess wins

I don’t even bother to remember the protagonist name. She is so boring. Your main character or characters should never be boring nor unforgettable. Even a bad character is better cause you can remember them. It’s boring/forgettable characters that are the worse. They make me feel nothing about them.

they make those disney cartoon movies just to sell Huggies training diapers pants

Yeah, what a lousy movie. And the movie's defenders are making lame points in a childlike viewpoint. They can't possibly think that such a childish teenager who blew a tantrum because the king told her no for asking for her grandpa's wish is the hero of the story. Her character arc sucked, no development, no charm, no anything.

once again Disney is dead

Now that Wish is on Disney+ aswell of the confirmation during the end credits: After Peter Jöback the Swedish voice of Aladdin as King Magnifico, Jannike Kruse the Norwegian voice of Jasmine from Aladdin in the 90s also made her return as the Norwegian voice as Queen Amaya so it’s like Aladdin & Jasmine got both their whole new wish granted with a royal transition from Agrabah to Rosas. 🧞‍♂️⭐️
