honestly...your right. I mean I already was siding with the king and at first I will admit why people were hating on WIsh so much but..now I really do see the reason why. I love the songs, and music in it, the style of the art but, the writing could have been better. I personally love the idea of how they had him be a good guy to look up to, and slowly build up to him losing his last straw. may I note he was tempted to use the forbidden book but when his wife talked to him considering he was dealing with reasonable stress, he put it down after calming down realizing its not a good idea. I did think about the possibility for some wishes to be bad and I liked the message that not all wishes should come true or if it's physically possible like a freaking lady flying like peter pan. he wanted everyone safe! when I look closer, Asha is a spoiled brat and its sad they made her that way. spreading a message that its ok to be a narcissistic brat who can't stand the word no and take a better hint of learn to grow up. all of this happened because of HER! she IS the villain of Wish now that I think about it. It's sad people including kids are becoming like people like Asha! I did love the idea of what corruption can truly do to a person WITH GOOD INTENTIONS! meaning he was a completely good person, before dark magic took hold of him even when he was banished into the mirror. I also wished that his wife..could have had a better understanding for her husband's rage and stand against Asha for misbehaving this way. but she wasn't in the room when it happened. the very first argument before everything went down! it could have sent a much better message. and maybe for once have the protagonist be a male instead of a damn female all the time!? I'm female myself and I would like a male protagonist main character for once like they used to. Males can be good characters too! but of course this feminist bullshit of "oh lets make all the princesses and main characters be a female, communist barbie doll! because barbie can do everything and anything she wants! all girls like that!" sorry for the long comment but I loved your video and it made great points. thanks for making me really see the full truth.

I learned a similar tale from the manga of Shin Chan where the king was a jewel and gold plated statue. A smol birb worked with the statue to help the needy until the very last jewels and gold plates were given out and then the statue lost its value in people's eyes and even the birb couldn't find rest due to wintertime (it couldn't follow its fellow birbs for migration so it stayed near the statue). Nobody appreciated the ugly statue and took it down, let alone recognising a generous little birb who dropped them the jewels and gold plates.

Also something to note about Asha. It's constantly told to the watchers that she's "so selfless" and yet when it's almost her turn to get her wish(it's stated in the movie it's almost her birthday) she goes all around to get a job interview with the king, not because she genuinely wants to help him and serve him so the kingdom stays prosperous, but to get an extra wish on top of her upcoming birthday wish so she doesn't have to sacrifice her own wish in order to get her grandfather's wish granted. That's not "selfless" that's opportunistic

Raya was also supposed to be a Southeast Asian princess, yet the entire movie has absolutely _nothing_ from real life Asia. Of all the material they could've used, they made up a fantasy race and culture and called it "Southeast Asian." It's just their way of adding another "race princess" to the roster even though she isn't remotely (realistically) Asian. There was absolutely no genuine effort implemented to accomplish realistic inclusivity, only inclusivity of a fake race inspired by a western fanfic viewpoint. The "Southeast Asian" voice actress was born and raised in America. And yes, even the message is stupid, I couldn't believe what I was watching when I first saw it. I'd watch Callimara's video on it as she is an Indonesian raised in Indonesia (aka, a _real_ Southeast Asian) and explains this fluently, if anyone is interested.

It’s a totally different series, but I can’t help but notice that Asha breaking into Magnifico’s study so her grandfather’s wish can be granted after it was denied, is eerily similar to what Bowser does in the first Paper Mario. The Star Spirits intentionally chose not to grant his wishes because they were selfish, one of them being to defeat Mario (and knowing him, Bowser would want to end his life in the process). So Bowser literally goes to Star Haven, steals the Star Rod, and plots to make it so only his wishes come true. Disney made a “protagonist” whose goal is no better than that of one of the most well-known video game villains.

Other points: -at the beginning of the movie Asha instantly asks for her grand father's wish to be granted as she gets the vibe she'll be the king's assistant and the king gets shocked saying people usually wait a bit before asking something of him. I felt terrible for him. Some perso shows up you decide to trust them and show them a place you invite very few people to and they instantly show that the only reason they came to you was to take advantage of you. It's like...even if you wanna be selfish give it a second! When she receives the normal reaction of him trying to "explain" why he can't do it instead of just saying no she instantly jumps to the conclusions that HE is selfish and evil! -second she sings some really bad song and a gains a magical song stronger than that of the king. WHICH HE GAINED BY STUDYING the art and learning and experiencing. Why? Coz she's pretty and the main character I guess. The good people who deserve to have their wishes come true don't try for it kids! It has to be effortlessly and magically given to you. The people who work hard on it have some evil motivations! -third: the only people who know the secret way to the king's study are people he trusts. One of them which happens to be the main character's friend just tells her where it is and how to get there. Coz we friends! In every aspect of life when someone entrusts you with a secret you don't just give it away coz someone asks you to and thinks they're entitled to it. -then there's the proof of the king's point when Asha's friend turns her in to have his wish granted: he becomes the most loyal guard to the king and immediately turns in all the other people who were involved even though he normally wouldn't do so if his wish wasn't granted. A wish the king had decided was too dangerous to grant even though it would benefit him. And no one seems to see that. -then the queen is moved by some selfish children and calls her husband evil like: I loved him so I didn't see how evil he is!! Even though he technically only lost it after using dark magic ....give this man some credit. Even his family doesn't give him anything for all he's done for so many people for such a long time! -and in the end: Sasha who claimed the king was evil for deciding which wishes were good and which were bad gets to decide which wishes are good and which are bad! In the kingdom HE built! ... And I don't even remember why the rest of the people turned against the king...just goes to show he had been serving greedy a**holes all this time... Random note: I watched the movies when seeing the sketch for this video but didn't expect the video to be actually making this point. Now I feel happy!

this movie just highlights how immature Disney's writers are. they literally still think like a child and thus wrote this story like a spoiled child that doesn't understand why adults don't simply let kids do whatever they want.

I think is because Disney is trying to appeal as much as possible to kids, so possibly they did that so children can feel better think they SHOULD get what they want an as such like the movie more (Idk if I wrote that right I'm spanish)

There's a really good video (in spanish tho) explaining how Tiana from the princess and the frog is the exact opposite of Aisha. She has a wish but decides to go the hard way to accomplish it. The video even suggests she could have asked her friend's rich father for a loan but refuses to so she can pride herself on the fruits of her labor. Even when she learned about the "wish upon a star" thing her father teaches her that the star can show her the path but it's upon her to make her dreams come true. And in the climax of the movie the voodoo sorcerer offers to make it real but she refuses to and even GIVES UP on her wish because she learned that it's not worth it if you can't be with your loved ones. Meanwhile Aisha can't wait for her wish to be granted just because she says so, does nothing to be worthy of it nor works to make it real by herself, doesn't care about the consequences of her actions/decisions and when someone says NO to her, then that person is evil.

Just realized this movie also feeds into people's sense of entitlement. He doesn't have to grant ANY wishes at all. That fact that some wishes are getting granted or even have a chance at getting granted should be enough.

This is exactly how my husband and I felt when we watched the movie. Magnifico was actually right then he suddenly became power obsessed and narcissistic. Made no sense especially when Asha was actually in the wrong. It is a dangerous message to children. Making them believe that they are entitled to all of their desires regardless of consequence.

Main character: Who are you to say what wishes should be granted? The King: I'm the guy who grants said wishes. My body, my power, my choice. Have you never heard to be careful what you wish for? I'm gonna have to agree with the King here. Some peoples wishes are probably evil, some will lead down a path of anger, violence, envy, and manipulation.

My 4 yo son didn't like it because he was rooting for Magnifico, so was I, even my wife didn't like it and said Magnifico didn't do anything bad beside looking good and being a kings.

This movie seems to think that wishes and dreams are the same, when they connote different things: wishes are fleeting and indulgent, while dreams are long-term goals that carry more weight. Disney has two songs that states this: "When You Wish Upon The Star" (which _Wish_ is supposed to be based on) and "A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes". The writers for this movie seem to have misunderstood the concepts of dreams and wishes *AND* two of the company's most iconic songs.

Basically, this movie sets to teach kids that they *deserve* everything that they want and that parents who don't spoil their kids are universally evil.

Alright guys, read this and let me know if this makes sense: Deranged villager: I wish I could grape an 11 year old! Magnifico (The villain): ABSOLUTELY NOT! Take him to the dungeon and your wish stays with me, I won't let you near it! Asha (The Hero): Granted!! Everyone's wishes should come true! See the problem here Disney?

Hey, maybe they could've gone with that, where the main character gets to the palace to ask him why he didn't grant her grandpa's wish, she understands it, but on the way out notices some evil corruption magic shining under a door or something and investigates, thus the king, no matter how good he is, becomes the antagonist because he cannot let anyone else know that he is using that magic. And maybe the story could've been about using a specific wish to free the king or something like that. Maybe someone wished for the kingdom to be free of evil and thus they use the wish and the evil magic is gone out of the king's system, and now the main character becomes the new queen of the land because she saved him and he goes into retirement or something. Damn, this could've been good but Disney just had to screw it up didn't they?

I didn’t. Disney has always been propaganda. Back then it was harder to notice it but it’s still there.

I think this plot hole could've been fixed by having the thing/book/demon/whatever that POSSESSED Magnifico be the true villain. Here's a little rewrite: Asha's wish could've been something like "Make the people of Rosas see how evil Magnifico is" even though he's not, but she's young and hurt, so she thinks he's evil. And because of her wish, the demon takes over, his actions actually become evil, and the people of Rosas see. He starts doing BAD stuff, like forcing the people to work REALLY hard and against their will, he says he going to stop granting ANY wishes, etc. I think Amaya could be crucial here. She loves her husband and knows him well. He would never act like this. She somehow gets Asha to see that the way he's acting isn't even like how he was "mean" during their interview. Then they, with the help of Star, overcome the demon, and HE'S the one that banished to the looking glass. Then Magnifico, himself again, is able to reinforce why he doesn't grant every wish to Asha, who now has first-hand knowledge of WHY you should "be careful about what you wish for." But there's another lesson to be learned: only one person shouldn't be choosing what's good for someone, and it's not good that Magnifico's the SOLE person to choose what's right for the kingdom. It started as his, because he's the one who built it from the ground up, but they ALL live there now, and they should vote on whose wishes should be granted. And if the one-man-choosing continues, what's going to happen once Magnifico is gone? Magnifico holds the most sway, since he's been pretty dang good so far, but the people also have a say. A voting system is set in place to decide whose wishes get granted each month, and Magnifico hires Asha as his apprentice, and sets her up as his and Amaya's heir since they have no children, to carry on granting wishes after he's gone.

Reserve the king's power to real emergencies, or for special occasions. That way, everyone starts to gain wisdom and power of their own.

I think it would have been powerful if in the end the king gave the grandfather back his wish and he realizes that he had made it come true on his own by being a well beloved person that people looked up to. Living to a hundred and being a decent fulfilled person is totally inspiring! Or Asha could have told her grandpa that she saw his wish and it was to be an inspiration. “You’re an inspiration every day.” How much more emotionally impactful is that than a supernatural being giving a self indulgent girl a magic stick?

I had a similar issue with Ralph breaks the internet- Vanellope left all of her friends and everything she worked for to go off on some whim to be in a “cooler” game.

But instead, the message we ended up with was to follow every slight desire you have, even if it hurts those around you.

We know that they're happy in the future. We know that Mike is the manager and Sully is the scare monster. Monsters university is a perfect prequel because it shows how the characters reached the point they did in the original film. We learn that Mike originally wanted to scare, he couldn't, he found a new role and purpose, and eventually in the future, he changed it to comedy, which he excelled at. It's a great concept because we already know that Mike finds happiness and success in the end.

Yea, no need to imagine. How about that girl from the begining swooning over Magnifico, a MARRIED man. Actually, that brings up another point, what if two wishes contradict each other? Say two guys fought over a girl, there is no way both of their wishes are getting granted. Add a girl interested in neither of them and you've got yourself a situation in which for the sake of personal freedom wishes are mutualy exclusive. Also, you give a wish when you're 18, good luck if your wish was to be with someone you later learn is a total loser. And since you forget your wish it'd give you whiplash if you suddenly learnt your wish was getting granted, but it's no longer something you want.

"his kingdom" You talk as if the king owns the people in it, which is probably exactly what he thinks. This is a complete lie about of Asha's motivation against the king. Asha did not think it was right of him to take people's wishes, and only by his own neurotic judgement decide who gets to even HAVE a wish *at all* and who deserves to get it granted. He manipulates people to hand over their life's wishes to him to then act like he owns their wishes and decide who even gets to have one. He could give them back, as Asha pointed it out, because most of them were harmless, and if it was actually really dangerous then he could keep it locked. But no, he is not at all regulated when it comes to any of that, he is neurotic and deeply narcissistic, he only thinks of himself the entire movie, he can't even stop talking about himself to praise his wife. HE. IS. THE. VILLAIN. And it's not because he didn't grant every wish.

@@dandantsm6560 .....*Slowly face palms* That is exactly how an actual monarchy works. Not a parliament or constiutional monarchy, but a good old fashion monarchy. The King or Queen is the supreme authority of the land. They own the people within that land. Because it is their job to oversee the well being of the kingdom and the people within it. So everyone who is within that kingdom IS SUBSERVIENT TO THE MONARCH. The King built that kingdom from scratch. The people came to live there on HIS land, using HIS resources, looking to HIM for guidance and leadership. Therefore....yes. He essentially owns them. Literally how a monarchy works. As for the second part of your argument here...well...let's see here. On the one hand we have a king with the power to do something that he is, in no way, obligated to actually do anything with, and yet he attempts to generously, but responsibly, use that power for his people. Instead of granting wishes willy-nilly, or even giving them exactly what they ask for, he grants the wishes of those whose wishes are practical and not potentially harmful, and he does so in a way that still relies on them to put in effort and hard work, ensuring they don't just become lazy and reliant on magic to get what they want. VERSUS An 18 year old girl who literally has no experience being responsible for anything more then a goat, who tries to take the easy way out in getting her grandfather's wish granted, instead of simply using her wish to get her grandfather's wish granted (Thus proving she actually loves him by sacrificing of herself to benefit him), who then decides she needs to overthrow an entire monarchy that has kept the people happy and prosperous not because of anything he does actually being harmful or oppressive to the people's happiness and ability to live comfortably but because she thinks he's wrong. Because he doesn't do things the way she thinks they should be done. Oh, and to really point out the hypocrisy of your argument, she'll end up with the same power he did AND WITH NO ONE TO OVERSEE OR REGULATE HER. And yet we're told that is a good thing, as compared to how bad and evil it is for the king to not have anyone controlling or regulating what he does simply because he doesn't do things the way Asha thinks they should be done. So between the two...no. The ignorant activist rushing around demanding things be done the way they think it should be done, with no understanding of the consequences of their actions, resulting in essentially the government being overthrown and then them doing the very thing they blasted the government for doing is far more the villain then the guy being a responsible monarch who only turned evil because the plot demanded it.

Like "i wish everyone could see the king for the evil i think he is" or something like that, turning the king into the flat evil parody that a 17 year old angsty girl thinks he is, and the rest of the events unfold. That would make the king into an unwilling villain, the actual message being that if you try hard to find evil to justify your "fight" you might just turn the good into bad. I can see this being the original story and then this key detail being cut and then something like ai used by a single person to fill in the gaps of removing that message.

The worst you can say about Magnifico is that he's a dictator... But that's kindof a moot point considering the fact he's clearly a good leader. His citizens are happy, many of them are overweight so clearly their survival needs are being met, he's never shown to be outwardly callous or mistreat his people (at least prior to his "I'm evil now" scene). Quite frankly, he should be a dictator. He clearly knows how to run his kingdom and keep his people alive and happy; I'd vote for him. If anything, Asha is the villain for opposing him.

What's funny to me is that the fact the PEOPLE are more "villainous" than the actual villain himself.

I wouldn't call Magnifico a dictator. Unlike a dictator, he actually owns the land in his kingdom.

I wanted to add about the wishes: the film portrayed Asha's friend as a traitor when Magnifico granted his wish of becoming the best knight in the kingdom, but the problem is, that wish was made before anyone saw Magnifico as "the bad guy". When her friend made that wish he believed he will do good for the kingdom and since wishes cannot be changed, it shouldn't be viewed as betrayal, but on the contrary it makes his a victim of the new circumstances... Although the circumstances are stupid, but it's a different story. In other words, there is no logic behind characters actions and there is little to no motivation. It's sad because the premise is good but the execution is horrible and morally wrong.

@@PlanetZoidstar Not really. If you go to the original tale, it's clear indication of her beauty, nothing else. In the very first tellings of Snow White, she is pretty vain and, honestly not very bright, the dwarves only took her in, so that she could be basically their maid while she decided with which of them she would marry. And the prince only kissed her because she was beautiful and he thought that she was dead, which makes it kinda dark... If you search the term, especially in medieval times, "fairest" meant beautiful and pale (also sometimes, it meant "blond"), which back then being pale meant being wealthy. The paler and chubbier they were, the more beautiful women were considered to be in that time. Disney's Snow White, is just a retelling of a much older tale that was embellished by Walt Disney. He kept using the term "fairest of them all" just because it sounded good and because she was pale. So, that term has more history that the one Disney put on. For Disney, sure it may mean "pure", but the real meaning of the expression is not that. If it did, there would be no reason for the expression: "The fair, pure maiden with thy purest of hearts." About the Disney movie of Snow White, I really don't like it, nor do I like Snow White. I can't stop seeing her as the dumb vain, 14 year old girl that she is in the earliest versions of the tale.

Fun Fact: Walt Disney's interests were not strictly limited to film-making. He was also a visionary in other disciplines such as urban planning. Epcot was meant to be a city intended as a model for efficient urban planning conducive to being pedestrian friendly. When he died, his successors turned it into a theme park and the areas around Disney World became overrun with suburban single-use tract house developments, which are antithetical to good urban planning and are a symptom of a rampant disease inflicted on American cities because of thoughtless greed on the part of unimaginative, moneygrubbing capitalist parasites.

Don’t worry too much about how this one film affects kids though. My little cousin watched this and all she got out of it was ‘The story was boring but I liked that the main character looked like me’. We’re going to watch Aladdin next time we hang out. This movie was rubbish.

The movie could have been a great story about the self harm of enabling others & the emotional labor of putting yourself last all the time, with the end being about finding a healthy balance to take care of others but also leaving room for yourself.

@@kuhatsuifujimoto9621 You're correct on saying that Christ's sacrifice ultimately is frowned upon by "most poeple", because it reminds them of how eternally in debt they are. The despicable entitled bigots of nowadays truly can't stand to be reminded that they're actually bad [not the amazing heroes they all foolishly think they are] and need repent, not any indulgence or rewards. Nice thinking.

Right. Disney have showed their fruit before with the founder (He was a creepy dude). It's rotten beyond repair. Just because the writing now sucks, doesn't mean past Disney movies were better with morals, because they were just more cunning with mixing good (moral) with the bad.

It boils my blood that you are lumping him in with the commies who have taken over the company now. He testified at the HUAC, for gosh sakes. He would be HORRIFIED by what his company has become. If you don’t see the timeless, universal wisdom imparted by classic Disney, then I don’t know how to reach you. You might be just as amoral as the current staff and executive class at Disney, who are running the company into the ground in order to virtue signal and to use the properties as vehicles for their ham-fisted attempts at social engineering.

Ways they could've taken the story: 1. Make King Magnifico be a good guy, make Asha his daughter (making her a princess), and having an obviously evil royal advisor (like Jafar) steal the wishes. Asha tries to warn her father but he doesn't listen or something. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 2. Keep Magnifico evil and still have Asha be his daughter. The plot could be Asha trying to overthrow her evil father and save the kingdom. 4. Have Sorcerer's Apprentice kind of story where Asha grants everyone's wishes causing absolute chaos. Asha and Magnifico have to work together to fix everything. 5. Here's a stupid one. The grandpa is the twist villain. The grandpa says he wants to inspire the next generation but he really means to put the kingdom under a dictatorship, causing Asha and the Magnifico work together to overthrow Asha's grandpa. 😅😂

OR Make Asha the daughter of the King and Queen as before. Have the evil book slowly bleed into the influence of the two of them since it was supposed to be a Husband Wife evil duo from the beginning unlike the placid stand by and do nothing queen we got with motivations that made zero sense. Rewrite the story with actual good villains from the get go and maybe her wish upon the star is her saving her parents from corruption. Oh and giving her an actual character arc instead of I"M QUIRKY! TEE. HEE.

4 sounds like the best story, tbh and I don't understand why Disney wouldn't have gone that route since it would still fit in with modern sensibilities. Magnifico could’ve been similar to Merlin from Sword in the Stone, too. A missed opportunity to reference that movie

I saw an idea on another video covering this where they thought of another direction this plot could've gone to actually have lessons It basically starts the same but after the star starts granting wishes, it grants someone's wish to become an all-powerful leader and kicks out Magnifico to somewhere far away. Over time, this leader is shown to be absolutely awful, oppressive, and all-powerful. Feeling guilty, Asha and the star go and look for Magnifico. They do plot and Asha learns some magic. They come back to the kingdom and whoop the leader's ass and put Magnifico back in his place with Asha (having learned "with great power comes great responsibility" and not being entitled) being an apprentice. This avoids the issue with Magnifico being a genuinely good leader and instead of shoehorning him the role, it gives it to someone else to help Asha overcome her entitlement.

I feel like if they wanted to get their point across as him being a villain, he should have been always consuming wishes he didn't like for more power. Instead, he doesn't even do that until he's been possessed by the evil book.

It's genuinely disgusting that these are the things writers want to teach. That Pandora, the person warned not to open the box, was the good guy and that the person who warned her is infact the bad guy. These are the kind of people that scoff at anyone in positions of authority, and I dare say were probably the same kind of kids who could never take no as an answer. There's a good reason we have apocalypse stories and tragedies about people attaining unchecked power, because it teaches kids that power should never be sought out. It should be retained only when necessary and used responsibly. If Asha gained the power to grant wishes too, why didnt she grant her grandfathers wish and be done with it? Hell why didn't she *restore* Magnifico when the evil had taken hold of him, because the real fucking question is was he beyond redemption??? He's easily the most redeemable Disney villain written, seriously who wrote this crap.

I heard in another review that this is the first Disney musical to deliberately use AI engines to write song lyrics. Im Thinking they may have been used to write more than the lyrics to songs. And this announcer pretty much hits the nail on the head: looking back at the story, it's almost like Asha made a wish that we didn't see where she was the hero and he was the villain.

That would be terrifying. Just think about it. You're trying to do what can best help the kingdom, while making sure wishes people made when they were young and may not have thought of the consequences. And then, almost against your will, your personality turns into what you hate, and you go against your people, destroying it all.

@@Drave_Jr. Honestly this could be an interesting take, i swear i know some characters that have this unfortunate event in their story but forgot who they are

Wouldn't it be cool if the moral of this story was that not all wishes NEEDED to be granted? Not just the dangerous ones, but that sometimes life doesn't go the way you want it to or you move on past what you wanted before. What if the townsfolk realized how much they had been relying on and using the king and learned to make their wishes come true without magic? What if they realized how selfish some of their wishes were and learned to be thankful for what they already had? What if they learned the difference between a meaningful wish and an arbitrary one? There are so many interesting ideas this movie could have explored, but nope, it's all wishes must be granted no matter how dangerous or outlandish they are. And if someone even suggests that you should think through your wish a little bit before making it, then they're clearly evil!
