In Princess And The Frog, the whole flipping lesson was "Work hard, and you can make dreams come true." In Wish, the ending is like "Magic makes your dreams come true" which isn't even a useful lesson because in our own lives, we don't have magic. Princess And The Frog had magic, but a lot of it was from the villain, and then there was the magic for Tiana and Prince Naveen to become frogs. Magic was what helped them on their emotional journey, not what solved all of their problems or made their dreams come true.

Disney has become way too comfortable with themselves. The reason they thrived in the first place was because they strived to outdo their competitors. Now they simply just “buy” their competition whenever they feel like it. Someone once said *”without criticism or pressure from others, there can be no improvement.”* And that really is true, Disney has become lazy and comfortable with themselves and everyone sees it. They may believe for now that they are invincible, but eventually they will find out they’re not and the cycle will start all over again.

Princess ARIA, a spirited and curious young royal, looks out from her tower window, dreaming of adventure. ARIA (voiceover) I long for a world beyond these castle walls, where magic and wonders await. EXT. MAGIC KINGDOM - VILLAGE SQUARE - DAY A carnival is in full swing. ARIA sneaks out of the castle, disguised as a commoner, eager to experience the festivities. ARIA (to herself) Just for one day, I want to be part of the enchantment. ARIA joins the lively crowd, where she meets a charming street performer, FINN. FINN Welcome to the carnival, my lady! Care for a dance? ARIA (smiling) A dance? Why not! They twirl and spin, laughter echoing through the square. Suddenly, a mysterious figure, MALIK, appears and casts a spell on ARIA. MALIK (laughing) Enjoy your little adventure, Princess. Soon, you'll be trapped in a world where magic is fading away. ARIA is surrounded by a magical aura, and the carnival transforms into a dark, desolate land. ARIA (panicking) What's happening? FINN (fearful) It's Malik, the dark sorcerer. He's taken away the magic! ARIA and FINN embark on a quest to reverse the spell and restore the kingdom's magic. Along the way, they encounter a quirky magical creature named TWINKLE, who becomes their guide. TWINKLE We must find the three ancient relics scattered across the realm to break Malik's curse. ARIA, FINN, and TWINKLE journey through mystical forests, treacherous mountains, and enchanted caves, facing challenges that test their courage and friendship. INT. CAVE OF ETERNAL WHISPERS - NIGHT In the cave, ARIA discovers a magical mirror that reveals the truth about herself and her kingdom. ARIA (teary-eyed) I have a responsibility to protect the magic within us all. They unlock the first relic, a shimmering crystal, and gain a clue about the next one. EXT. MAGICAL MEADOW - DAY ARIA, FINN, and TWINKLE navigate a meadow filled with talking flowers and playful creatures. They encounter a wise old TREE, the guardian of the second relic. TREE To prove your worth, solve the riddles three, and the relic shall be yours. After overcoming the challenges, they obtain the second relic, a glowing orb that restores a fraction of the lost magic. EXT. DRAGON'S PEAK - SUNSET Facing their biggest challenge yet, the trio confronts a guardian dragon, who holds the final relic. FINN We must convince the dragon that our cause is just. ARIA uses her newfound wisdom to communicate with the dragon and persuade it to join their quest. DRAGON (roaring) Together, we shall defeat Malik and restore the magic to this land. They retrieve the third relic, a magical staff, and return to the desolate kingdom. INT. MAGIC KINGDOM - NIGHT ARIA, FINN, TWINKLE, and the dragon confront MALIK, who is ready to cast a spell to solidify his dark reign. ARIA (holding the relics) You can't extinguish the magic within us. We are bound by the enchantment that unites our hearts. The relics glow with a brilliant light, overpowering MALIK's dark magic. The kingdom is restored to its former glory. MALIK (furious) This isn't over! MALIK disappears into the shadows, defeated but vowing revenge. EXT. MAGIC KINGDOM - DAY The kingdom is alive with magic, joy, and laughter. ARIA, now wiser and more compassionate, addresses her people. ARIA Our journey taught us that true magic lies in friendship, courage, and the love that connects us all. The kingdom celebrates with a grand carnival, where ARIA, FINN, TWINKLE, and the dragon dance together, surrounded by the enchanting echoes of their adventure. FADE OUT.

Woooow, so terrible...like are you serious???

The movie tells us he is deceiving the people but literally everyone knows he only grants one wish a month, so of course the majority of wishes never get granted. They also get to witness what sorts of wishes get granted. People are living comfortably in the kingdom of their own free will. This whole setup is screaming for Asha to grant a bunch of wishes and then everything goes wrong because he was right, some wishes contradict each other, some are dangerous, magic solutions don't exist for every complicated problem. It is begging for her to learn that the king was right, it's begging for there to be a moral about working to accomplish your dreams on your own instead of depending on someone else to grant your wishes. I swear it's begging for any story except for the one they told.

The funniest part of that argument is that Walt Disney himself apparently resented the fact that his films and animations were increasingly pigeonholed as being "children's entertainment" during his lifetime. He was constantly trying to push the envelope in terms of what animation was capable of and the stories it could tell. We tend to think of the Classic Disney movies as being somehow quaint, but if you actually go back and watch them, they're dark as heck. The Evil Queen explicitly commands the Huntsman to cut out Snow White's heart so she can keep it in a box, the donkey transformation scene in Pinocchio is genuinely still one of the most horrifying scenes in animated movie history, Bambi and Fantasia are both basically "dark but some occasional funny", everything about Maleficent is terrifying, the 'Pink Elephants on Parade' sequence has imagery that is downright disturbing. Even with the anthology films from the 1940s you have things like the Headless Horseman chasing Ichabod through the forest, the ending of 'Willie the Operatic Whale', and Donald Duck going berserk from starvation and trying to kill Mickey and Goofy with an axe (with the implication he was planning to eat them afterwards)... Disney being *exclusively* kids' media hasn't been a thing until arguably the direct-to-video sequel plague of the late-90s-to-mid-2000s...which still started less than 30 years ago. And even then I'd argue that this is the first movie since then that, again, was primarily targeted at children rather than the entire family. To try and excuse the film with "it's just for kids" is absolutely an even bigger slap in the face to Disney's legacy than the 100th anniversary movie itself just being bad.

What if someone had a wish years ago and it’s too late to be granted? “I wish my dad was cured from this terminal illness.”

Well, that would have been the case with the Mary Poppins-inspired wish. If the wish wasn’t granted immediately, the kids would eventually grow past the age where they would need a nanny. I mean, yeah, it’s supposed to be a “Mary Poppins” reference, but it’s still presented in the story as a wish that someone gave to him.

What sucks is that in the art book, there are story ideas that are way better. Like how the star was going to be a trickster like Peter Pan or Jack Frost and both the king and queen were going to be a villain couple.

The Queen was also originally supposed to be evil when the movie was first in development. A Disney Villain Couple would’ve made this movie so much better tbh.

Someone at TVTropes got it right - this isn't a movie about wishes, but GOALS. Wishes are generally understood to be reliant on outside help, like Pinocchio becoming animate (and from there EARNING the chance to be human). It's weird because on Reddit, one of the animators was defending the film by saying that it's about making your own wishes come true rather than relying on others, but by making virtually all the "wishes" easily obtainable things, it really does make the characters seem lazy and ungrateful, with very empty lives given that they supposedly are unfulfilled without their one wish. Like, they have no other things they'd like to do? They can't be satisfied with what they have, especially in a place like Rosas?@@GolocheSupercaboche

honestly, this movie could’ve worked without having to scrap the plot: 1. keep the idea where both the king and queen are evil. people (including me) love a power couple. 2. they could’ve further explored how the king controls Rosas by adding ridiculous rules (exp. allowing no outside contact, they have to strictly follow his laws, he manipulates the wishes to make them beneficial to him, etc.) 3. completely rewrite all the songs. scratch that- have like 3 songs and call it a day. 4. they could’ve scrapped most of the side characters. just keep short guy for sarcastic commentary, Asian girl who bakes for a friend who tries to bring Asha back to reality, maybe the goat just for animal sidekicks and possibly to have a rivalry with Star for Asha’s favorite, and depressed guy and you’re good. 5. they could’ve made it more aware how the subjects become miserable after giving their wish. (exp: Asha’s mother constantly ponders if she has any purpose and forgets what her wish is, her grandpa loses all faith in his wish at the start of the movie, and the depressed guy is falling into deep existential dread. ik it’s dark, but it works.) 6. don’t make all the animals talk. the goat is more than enough. 7. make Asha less “quirky” and have a compelling personality.

nah Wish was marketed like crazy on Tiktok. People knew about but had no interest in it so they wait for Disney +

I think to sum up the biggest problem with this movie is that the fact that: 1. Disney doesn’t know anymore when a movie needs a villain or not. 2. Disney doesn't know when to make a movie where both character, conflict, and theme fit with it's own narrative. Yet, they don't even realize that there's movies that did what they were trying to do MUCH BETTER. Some good examples can be in Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. Since the idea of wishing is established as the fact that nobody ever gets a wish because, everyone realizes that they have what they want (Except for Jack Horner….). The Wolf even shows this to Puss, as when he starts to come after him, we see that he only wants to kill him, as the Wolf believes that he doesn’t value life, and he only wants the wish to be immortal. But it’s when Puss realizes that he has everything he needs in life, but he chooses to face death regardless, if this will be his last life, but assures that he will never stop valuing it. There's also Across the Spider-Verse. It would be easy to characterize Miguel O’Hara as a villain, but when you see why he does what he does, you can understand his reasoning. Even though this doesn’t justify him holding Miles from trying to change the future, you can understand why he thinks that he’s doing what is for the good of the universe, as he made the same mistake himself. Therefore, coming to the belief that nobody can always have it all, including Miles. But I think the best example is in a movie, where Disney did this themselves, in Moana. We’re presented with Maui, but we see him as an arrogant god, who is out for power for himself, especially with the way the movie presents him stealing the heart of Te Fiti. But, we soon learn about his past to see that he wasn’t always like this. As once he became a Demi-God, and gave the people everything they wanted (or you can say WISHED…), yet it was never enough, therefore leading him to steal the heart, as he thought it would make them love him more. Therefore, the point of these examples is to show that the conflict isn't just brought about by some evil mad villain, but much more of everyone believing that they must do what's for the good of the world or the individuals they care for. But watching Wish feels as if the people behind this movie gave us the most black-and-white story on the big screen. It doesn't interrogate or take a deep dive into playing God for the citizens of one's society and it doesn't address the hard and murky truths of getting whatever you want in life. It just allows the audience to just say, "We're not in the wrong, HE IS. He's the cause of all the ill in our world, so let's work together to eliminate him, so our kingdom will be a stronger and loving world.", without ever realizing how such an ideology of trying to use such power to either control the future or get what you want, even for good intentions, can have dangerous outcomes for themselves. And that's where the biggest failure of Wish lies.

Exactly! The entire theme feels so elementary when other movies have tackled similar themes and done it infinitely better. Like Wreck-It Ralph is so good because it's all about heroes and villains and what makes them, but also how using labels like that can often oversimplify characters. Wish lacks any nuance, and it doesn't dive deeper into its themes at all. Overall, a lackluster and disappointing film. :/

When everyone's a princess, there are no second or third-class citizens. Everyone is forced to respect one another. The princess is educated but severely lacks wisdom, however her heart's in a good place and that's enough. It actually ends on a powerful lesson that, I think(?), Wish was trying to emulate despite failing miserably at it. Despite her novel ideas, and because they seemed so silly to him, Jafar never trusted that the princess could handle the world until the very end when he realized he was just too old and tired to see she was perfectly capable. Even then, he didn't see the beauty in making everyone a princess until Scheherazade showed it to him. Aisha winning is like watching an alternate ending to Twisted in which Aladdin keeps the lamp.

“I want to inspire people” is actually a rather vague wish. Even adding through music, still leaves a lot for the magic to interpret. A lot of these wishes seem to be things they could workout on there own, and therefore better for themselves since they know what they want. Your songs could inspire people because some deep tragedy happens to you and your able to make an emotional song about it. Maybe someone you love will die in order to inspire your inspirational song. And you can inspire people to do the wrong things, so it’s not an invalid reason to not grant a wish. Particularly when he’s the one that’s freaking doing all the work!

It’s clear that Disney didn’t try making good music because hired people who make POP MUSIC. Yes Disney, a totally good idea to hire pop music composers for your 100th anniversary film.

@@nevaehhamilton3493 while I understand the flaws with Disney, we should try to encourage the to do, and be better. It's pretty weird that I never really see this much hate with other studios that have done many wrong things- it seems to always be targeted towards Disney specifically

Wait, is "just keep wishing" _really_ the moral this movie gives? Shouldn't it be something like "You can't just sit around waiting for your wishes to come true, you have to make them come true yourself" cause that's literally what happened, they gave up pursuing their dreams themselves just hoping Magnifico would do it for them, but by the end of the movie it doesn't seem like they learned anything, they just put all their wishes in Asha's hands instead because they knew she'd grant all their wishes for them

The movie’s really trying to have it both ways, like the woman who wanted to fly starts working on a machine with a guy who looks like Peter Pan, but yeah, Asha gets a wand because…?

What I don’t get is that King Magnifico said he was trying to protect the kingdom from something that killed his family or ruined his home years ago. The issue is, we never learn what that thing was.

Make the villain the protagonist + The emperor's new groove character arc = Good movie. Magnifico is literally the guy who is making the wishes, and is the one who is inherintly flawed due to everyone literally only wanting him to grant their wishes- which he has gotten tired of. But to make an actual interesting protagonist would take away from princess sales I guess

This isn't a bad idea, TBH. If they wanted to be original, they could've used their OG idea of the King Magnifico/Queen Amaya villain couple and Princess Asha/Starboy. It could've been compelling, Asha would ACTUALLY count as a princess, and everything would make 10× more sense. I honestly WISH this movie was remade, because it's OG and fan concepts deserve a full movie over what we got. 😞

The sad part is that the Chip & Dale: Rescue Rangers movie does the references better too. 😭 The only references I really enjoyed in Wish were in the end credits where they went through their animation character line-up in order of their movie releases, and that's largely irrelevant to the movie plot as a whole. And I heard Once Upon a Studio does the inclusion of past characters thing better also...

I'm now imagining that Disney will be forcing the creatives making Frozen 3 to make it look like Wish's original concepts such as giving Elsa a love interest with magical fire powers and thus scrapping its most interesting concept ideas, just to win back the fans they lost.

So King Magnifico is like a worse version of the Skeksis from Dark Crystal; He claims to be the guardian of some sacred shit when really he's super corrupt and he eventually learns how to extract power from the sacred thing. Except in the Dark Crystal, there was an explicit threat being created by the Skeksis extracting power from the Crystal. King Magnifico is just boring.

5:13 This actually is the only historically accurate part of the movie. The movie takes place around the 1200’s iirc aka 200 years before the printing press Back then musicians not only comprised nearly all entertainment that people had they were also the way news spread. Often they were hired by monarchs and nobles to spread propaganda, but at the same time they were a way to incite revolutions. So the King being concerned that a musician’s wish is to “inspire people” is 100% justified

It baffles me they could set out explicit rules for wishmaking in Aladdin and then just ignore the moral quandary of wishes in a film ENTIRELY CENTERED ON IT when the direct actions and consequences of wishes was already illustrated by a film THEY REMADE IN RECENT YEARS USING THE SAME EXACT LOGIC THE ORIGINAL FILM USED. And if they wanna ignore Aladdin, Princess and the Frog also talks about wishes and dreams. Or if they continue pretending their last 2D animated film doesn't exist, there's a pretty good list of films (Moana, Meet the Robinsons, Bolt, Tangled, Cars, etc) that have some sort of character conflict of realizing what you WANT versus what you NEED which, y’know, is a pretty big factor in wishes. But nahhhh we'll ignore all the films we reference and their messages for "if you wish hard enough it'll come true!" Thanks Disney!

It could've been interesting if they showed us how she cares too much, what makes her care too much, what she cares too much about, why she cares too much, etc. and how that affects her as a character, maybe we see her learn that it's okay to take care of herself, not spread herself thin and not be a doormat for others to walk all over and take advantage of. But I guess developing their characters is too much to ask of Disney these days.

I think it’s funny how the girl works to give everyone’s wish a chance, yet when she gets the opportunity to do so, she just tells everyone to “keep wishing” and never grants their wishes.

"Watch out world, here I are-" Nope. I'm out. 🏃💨💨💨
