Wish is Everything Wrong with Disney

Part of this review was muted because of copyright. It is what it is with Disney lol Instrumentals I used in my Renditions Welcome to Rosas - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iF7lkXKHlA&ab_channel=PeterGundry%7CComposer This is the Thanks I Get? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OSlI7PZCXI&ab_channel=VillainoftheStory Knowing what I know now - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0s4ONtTxrWc&ab_channel=DisneyMusicVEVO (Pitched)

A movie that was meant to celebrate Disney's 100 years of existence turning out to be so lackluster sounds like a joke the Simpsons would have made back during their golden era.

Holy fuck, The fact the grandpa lived for 100 years and didn't learn how to play an instrument just hit me like a brick, what the fuck? Did he sit down on his ass for decades doing nothing?

What really angers me about this film is that Magnifico has PTSD. The one and only mistake he makes is turning to the Evil Book Macguffin™ which he only did out of anxiety and fear because of his PTSD. He's not a villain, not by a longshot. After Evil Book Macguffin™, he ceases to be Magnifico. He's a completely different character, he's the evil within the book puppeting his body. HE IS A VICTIM. At no point does anyone try to save him, the best we get is a throwaway line saying "well according to this book he can't be saved, oh well moving on". His own wife is not upset by this. They don't even try, THEY HAVE A STAR WHO GRANTS WISHES WITH NO RESTRICTIONS OR LIMITATIONS, why didn't they use it? Magnifico deserved so much better.

Regarding vague wishes, wasn't that exactly what happened in Brave? A vague wish was granted in unforeseen ways and it backfired big time, almost ended in a tragedy. And Merida's predecessor who made the same mistake before her, did end his life tragically: spent probably centuries as a mindless beast and had to be put out of his misery at the end. Magnifico was absolutely correct.

In the book version of the movie, there's a powerful line from Magnifico. It's when he captures Star and asks something along the lines of ''Where were you when I needed you? What makes the girl so special?''

Someone needs to make one of those "Magnifico being the only sane and reasonable person in Wish for idk how many minutes" compilation

She didn't even want the apprenticeship job because she was passionate about learning magic, she literally just wanted a favor from the king. Like, the king and queen don't have a kid so for all we know his apprentice was going to be the future ruler. He was offering her future QUEENHOOD and MAGICAL ABILITIES, but Asha was just like 'um, give me the wish I want now please even though I've literally only been here a few minutes'. He shouldn't have hired her in the first place, but he was well within his right to fire her the way he did. And doing it more publicly might stop others unworthy of the apprenticeship from applying.

I think have an addiction to watching people absolutely dunk on this movie specifically

The citizens of Rosas are basically the seagulls from Finding Nemo. “Mine. Mine. Mine.”

It's really weird because since The princess and the frog, I thought Disney answered what "whishing upon a star" means. It means keeping hope. As long as you wish upon a star, it means you believe your dream can become true. When Lottie wished upon a star to make the prince comes, she waited a few more moments by wishing and the prince appears. Not because the star is magic, but because she waited. When Tiana wished because she's desperate, Naveen ses her and thinks she's a princess and they meet, leading to the whole story. The star didn't give Tiana her restaurant, all Tiana's work did. And wishing to a star was the symbole of her hope that something good happens to her. When every characters wished upon a star, none of them were granted their wish. They just hoped long enough to be able to work to make their dreams come true. Even Cinderella hadn't been just her wish granted! She had to be brave and rebeled herself against her abusers to be able to be with the prince. What about Asha? Asha tried to cheat the system, went mad when her entitlement didn't grant her what she wanted, had a tantrum, wish upon a star instead of trying anything else and was rewarded with a marketable plushie which gives her everything she wants. This is like an anti-disney, a parodie.

"was that the wish of '87?" killed me

Magnifico has grey hair, yet he and his wife don't seem to have a child... He must've REALLY been stressed out.

Why wasn’t King Magnifico the PROTAGONIST

I literally get pissed off thinking about the movie since its original concepts were way more interesting 😭

Moana's moral: do your best to find happiness where you are and improve the lives of those around you. Wish's moral: get your wish or die

Magnifico was legitimately a hero. Small rewrite because why not: I think it would have been much more interesting if Asha actually was listening to Magnifico when he asked for an apprentice and then felt torn. She has to decide whether to grant her king's wish or her father's wish. Then she decides to try and grant her king's wish as thanks. She tells her father that she is going to get his wish granted and he is constantly celebrating that he's going to get his wish when she can't tell him that she didn't ask for it. Then at the wish granting ceremony he doesn't get his wish and confronts her. She gets very conflicted and opens up to Magnifico about the difficulties that she's having. Then you can show Magnifico struggling with his disappointment in his people and Asha for even thinking of asking and pride that his apprentice is asking for his help. Then you can have an interesting discussion about whether Magnifico is enabling his people by granting their wishes in the first place. Maybe he is wrong to have started the wish granting ceremony all those years ago and he regrets it, but can't figure out how to stop it. Then he decides that he has to end the wish granting ceremony and decides to give back everyone's wishes. The people are pissed, because that's not how this work, but then Asha comes out and defends his actions. Then you can get a montage/song where everyone is making small progress towards their wishes, mostly failing but still working towards them.

You know it’s a bad sign when Disney’s 100 year anniversary movie is beaten out critically by an animated Adam Sandler movie.

What gets my goat (pun intended) is that the grandfather’s wish of inspiring the next generation could have easily been granted. By Asha. Literally all she had to do was tell her grampa that she saw his wish and that it was to be an inspiration and that he had always inspired her. Simplicity itself, no magic needed. It would have set up a message that if you live your best life and help others you don’t need to rely on winning the wish lottery.

You know Dreamworks did something similar to this in Puss in Boots last wish, and that film did everything miles better that wish couldnt have done
