I expect Once Upon a Studio to win best animated short film. It truly is a wonderful tribute to 100 years of the Disney company. Edit: It wasn’t nominated, which is a crime.

What's that?! *_POSITIVE_* coverage of a Disney movie *_EVERYONE ELSE_* hates?! *_RUN, MATT! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! THE INTERNET'S COMING FOR YOU!_*

You took the words right out of our month about this movie being the most anticipating this year for all us Disney Fan, I wanna say that "WISH" is the most movie I am looking forward to check out this holiday season plus "Once Upon A Studio" is definitely my favorite animated short.

I'll admit that I liked seeing the images of all of the Disney characters from 100 years of filmmaking in the credits. It was a nice touch even if some choices were a bit odd.

Saw this today in the cinema and I thought it was amazingly good! I adored the backgrounds, the refences, the songs and of course an actual pure Disney Villain after so long! Please ignore the mixed reviews and check out the movie yourselves!

I’m stoked that I’m not the only one who appreciates this film for what it is. I watched this movie with my sisters on thanksgiving and I absolutely loved it for many reasons. Firstly, the animation is unlike anything I’ve seen from this studio. All I’ve been seeing is crap for the animation: “it looks like a kids tv show”, “it looks weird”, etc. The animation serves two purposes: to look like a storybook come alive and to celebrate the roots and progress Disney has made. The character’s expressions are a treat to see and compliment the incredible voice acting. The backgrounds are all beautifully painted watercolor, which I hardly ever see in a mainstream animation studio anymore. Each movement is as smooth as silk; the artists took careful consideration with each action, and it shows. Now, the songs are no “Be Prepared” or “Out There”, but each lyric of every song is carefully thought out and cleverly works for each of their featured scenes. I especially want to harp on this point for “this is the thanks I get”, widely regarded as the worst villain song ever made (or at least that’s what it made out to be). I’ve found myself listening to that thing on repeat; Chris pine is a talented singer, and while it isn’t the best villain song ever, it highlights the fragile insecurities of king magnifico and how he is becoming the same people that destroyed his home. It puts his personality on full blast, like a villain song should (I suggest we enjoy what we got, cuz it might not happen again 😂). My personal favorite was “with what I know now.” Banger in my opinion. Finally, the characters were a job well done. Asha has her strong focus on bettering her community, while also displaying weaknesses that the king can exploit. King magnifico is the definition of millennials these days (I’m kidding), dahlia is the anchor that keeps her friend group in line, and Valentino is…well he’s Valentino. Certainly no annoying Olaf, that’s for sure. I’m no film critic. I have no credentials. If you think this movie is a sack of shit, go off king. Everyone has a right to an opinion, and i can’t take that away. What I don’t appreciate, however, is people making others collectively object to something they could have enjoyed, or clowning on the artists who poured their sweat and tears into something designed to say “thank you.” Not every movie can be a spiderverse. Not every movie can be a puss in boots. They shouldn’t be. Animation is a forever changing art form, and as long as artists young and old have any speck of new vision or input, that’s all that matters. Fawn Veerasunthorn, thanks for putting out your first vision. I appreciate the review, animat.

Wow! This is a well crafted review. Of coarse I enjoyed hearing your opinion on the movie. What I found to be the best part of it is that you were showing your straightforward honesty on what you think of the film itself. As a Disney fan myself, I’m still optimistic to check this out. Also, as much as I want to stay supportive for the next Frozen sequels and Zootopia 2, i do want Disney Animation to be careful with those and not overflow their schedule with sequels. Seeing and supporting Wish in theaters would convince Disney Animation alone to not overflow their schedule with sequels. I think we can all agree that this could’ve been worse. We’re looking at you Chicken Little and Home on the Range!

I’m really glad you enjoyed this film. I also enjoyed it turn when I saw it earlier. I can agree the story had its flaws for being a typical Disney film with elements going too fast, but I did enjoy some humor, the animation is great, characters were enjoyable, and I liked some of the songs. Although, the movie would’ve been much better if it was hand drawn

Just saw the movie myself and I thought it was alright. I really admired the art direction, most of the songs, the various references, everything involving Star, and its message on wishes, but the story felt lacking in some parts. It's probably just me, but I feel like King Magnifico's dissension to madness could've been a bit more gradual, considering how quickly it happened after using that forbidden spell book. It would've been a good way of showing how his personality affected how he used that forbidden magic, rather than the magic itself seemingly taking control of him. His wife also could've shown some reluctance with keeping Magnifico trapped in that crystal, only doing so after giving it some thought. I also found Asha's 'Seven Dwarves' friends kind of forgettable due to their one-note personalities, aside from maybe the Grumpy and Sleepy counterparts. Despite those gripes though, I'm still glad I saw this movie. I can at least tell that a lot of heart was put into this film, including its themes on wishes. Plus, I really hope they'll continue experimenting with the cel-shaded CGI look in their future films.

Throughout most of this review after seeing the film myself and also enjoying it for what it is, I actually thought to myself "Yeah, that sounds about right." And if there's anything I learned from this film EVEN MORE than I already did from Frozen II, it's to not be fully dependent on what others say (especially critics) and be your own judge!

Finally, Someone agrees that this movie is good

I saw this movie last night, and I had a blast. I really enjoyed the songs, the animation was cool to look at, I really like the character of Asha, and I especially enjoyed that we had a pure Disney villain instead of a twist villain. While I did have some problems with some characters and their ways of delivering the humor, as well as how some elements could’ve been fleshed out better, these flaws weren’t enough to ruin my experience watching this film. I’m glad I got to see this in theaters (as well as not let the negative online reviews get to me), and here’s hoping more people come to enjoy this movie too. Good job on this review, Mat!

I honestly think the hate for this movie is also due to bad timing. These days pretty much almost every fandom has become toxic in a negative way, and will do anything to tear something apart no matter what. ESPECIALLY the Disney fandom. It's a shame too, cause I really think the hate for this film is a little unfair. It's a celebration of Disney animation. And that's good enough for me.

I feel like this is the first time I've seen the internet so split on Walt Disney Animation Studios film in last 3 years. With Raya everyone kinda agreed it was mid, Encanto everyone loved and declared a masterpiece, Strange World everyone heaped on, but then there's Wish, which has people declaring it awful, okay, and amazing all at once.

You know what? You've convinced me to check out the movie this weekend. All the other reviewers I follow say it's a disappointingly bland mediocrity, but I always want to give an animated Disney movie a chance.

At least you’re being honest with this film, seriously this movie doesn’t deserve the hate it deserves love not hate

Personally, I say "Critics what do they know!" (Outside of you of course) When It was coming out I knew that this was going to be very special for Disney and trying to make it a masterpiece like the classics already felt like it was too much pressure for it to reach. Certainly, I know it's not "Oscar-worthy" but I know that considering the references you know for a fact it's all made with love and really does make the picture seem worthwhile. I'll say Happy 100th Disney!

I actually had an amazing time with Wish. While it's not one of my top 10 favorite Disney animated movies, but I still had a fun time with it. And that's what makes Disney's 100th anniversary so special: have a fun, magical time.

It was kind of cringey ngl

I just saw the movie today. I think it's one of their best ones thus far. They kinda went back to their standard formula while also not depending on a romance story. I liked the return of the wishes was more about people becoming the best versions of themselves by seeing that it was possible, without King Magnifico, to make their wishes come true. I just know I was the happiest person in the world leaving the theater.

I have to admit that I really would consider this year to be the first best year of this new decade and I feel like that real villains are finally back

Glad to see a positive review of Wish for once. As someone who revels in bad reviews myself, It does get a little tiring seeing a bad review for a movie that honestly didn’t need it. I enjoyed Wish quite a bit and I honestly wouldn’t care less if everyone else didn’t

Finally a film higher than a 7!

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who enjoyed Wish! I honestly thought it was a good movie too! I think everyone is just hating on it because social media is telling them to.

The critics said the film sucked. But I always like to watch the film for myself. And I have to say it was okay. Far from Disney’s best but it was okay. I had a decent time. I’m glad Disney finally had a villain though.

Regardless what others think I’m glad there’s some like you that like it for what it is and besides, I think it’s unfair to rely on Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic to judge a film or games performance, we need to start making our own judgement. As always, great job with your review AniMat.

I will fully admit that isn't the best Walt Disney Animation Studios film or even up there with some of their biggest masterpieces such as Fantasia, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Pinocchio, Zootopia, Encanto, etc. But this is a solid way of celebrating 100 years of Disney and definitely doesn't deserve the mixed reactions. Do people just hate fun? Or Disney magic?

Now that we have the review of "Wish", we already have our top 5 best animated films of 2023 by Animat Reviews: Prediction 🥇 Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse 👦🏾🕷 🥈 Nimona❤‍🔥😈 🥉 Wish 🌟🌠 Posible competition for the 4th and 5th place: - The Super Mario Bros. Movie 👨‍🔧🍄 - Elemental 🔥💧 - TMNT: Mutant Mayhem 🐢🍕 (Unless Migration🦆🌆changes the list entirely)

An 8/10 sounds like a good score to give. Not every disney movie has to be a masterpiece. If a movie is at least good, then so be it.

Since you said you didn't want to mention all the references, here are some of my favorites: - Of course the watercolor-like effect is a nod to Sleeping Beauty as you mentioned, but that's not all! Sleeping Beauty also affected the shape of Wish as Wish uses a 2.55:1 aspect ratio, which Disney hasn't used since Sleeping Beauty. - Star's face was inspired by Mickey Mouse's face. - According to Asha, her father used to tell her that “the stars are there to guide us,” which is a reference to Mufasa. - Vials that resemble Yzma’s poison potions can be seen in Magnifico’s lab. The moving books reference Sword & the Stone. The Poison Apple from Snow White can even be spotted in the lab. - When Asha heads out into the forest, she wears a periwinkle blue cloak with a magenta bow. This fittingly references the Fairy Godmother! - The I'm A Star musical number alone is chock full of them! The flowers are a nod to Alice in Wonderland, the sentient trees and raccoon are a nod to Pocahontas, Valentino saying "See, that's where all the balls of gas come from!" references Pumbaa, there's of course Little John and Bambi, the mushrooms saying "We love crazy!" are a nod to Frozen, and there's even a squirrel that references the ones in Sword & the Stone!

I gave it a 7 out of 10 (while seeing this film as its own thing along with as a tribute) and Your opinion on the film is similar to mine too. While I understand why it is not the best Disney film made and can have disappointing moments, I personally don’t understand the overwhelming hate of this film in KZfaq and other social media at all. And ironically the way ppl described their opinions on the film is the exact same as mine for FNAF Movie (I don’t hate that film either, just a 5/10 for me)

I’m glad someone agrees with what I was thinking about Wish.

I love seeing the 2d/3d asthetics in this film. Its about time Disney did something 2d related with thekr films even if its a 2d/cgi hybrid film.

Oh, thank God! I'm glad there are some critics out there who understand all the hard work the filmmakers put into this film! There are others like Vailskibum who mercilessly trashed this underappreciated work of art.

Nimona 9/10 Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse 9/10 Elemental 8/10 Wish 8/10 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem 7/10 The Super Mario Bros. Movie 7/10 PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie 6/10 Miraculous: Ladybug and Cat Noir, The Movie 5.5/10 Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken 5/10 The Magician’s Elephant 5/10 The Monkey King 5/10 Trolls Band Together 4/10 You can say it's a great movie, but could have done better. Also, am I the only one who is upset about some haters just saying bad things about Wish? Heck, someone even said it the movie was made by *AI*. I mean....seriously?

I do not think Wish deserves to be criticized for its 2D-3D hybrid animation, when Sofia the First was a Disney Junior series similar to Wish that probably used to not be attacked for doing the same thing. Sure, Wish is not Nimona in terms of unique storytelling or dynamic animation, but does it _need to be_ to not be hated by most of the internet in 2023? Nimona was widely applauded for telling a cool and unusual story for animated kids' film stories and celebrating 20 years of Blue Sky animation, so as long as Wish can tell a decent and fun story with likable characters, why would it not be allowed the same applause for doing what it does to celebrate 100 years of Disney animation? I mean, I understand those people who are upset with Disney for shutting down a floundering animation studio when half of their films were Ice Age and Rio, but I never used that as an excuse to hate everything Disney does, even when their newer films are any good. Maybe Wish only feels like a generic or bad movie in comparison to Nimona, when they are different types of movies that should not be compared that unfairly, and Wish might actually be good when stacked up against other classic movies from Walt Disney Animation Studios that it was made to celebrate.

As if it was bad enough that “Strange World” broke Disney Animation's winning streak at the box office ever since “Bolt”, it's quite shocking how “Wish” broke their winning streak with the critics since “Meet the Robinsons”. I thought this was a good mixture of old and new with its storytelling, animation, characters, and music. It shouldn't be looked down upon as a generic rehash of Disney, but more as a celebration of all things the animation division has done over the years.

I’ve been a big fan of Disney movies and shows throughout my life, and despite everything other critics have said, I still want to see this film for myself As you’ve said, it may not be perfect, but it might be good for what it is

18:32 I got a feeling Wish and Elemental are going to be tied at a certain spot in AniMat's top 5 best animated films of 2023 list

I thought Wish was pretty good as both a film and a celebration of the studio’s 100th anniversary. I really like the animation, the songs are pretty good, and some characters do have charm to them especially King Magnifico being an actual full fledged disney villain. My favorite character would probably be Gabo. But I do wish the story was better handled and less predictable, and that some characters like asha friends had much more of an active role and depth in their personalities. I give it a 7.5/10, not the best but I really enjoy this celebration of Disney. But from the reactions I’ve seen it looks like it’s becoming the next Pocahontas. If you remember the production of that film, it was supposed to put Disney creativity and storytelling to a new level and be a serious competitor for an Oscar for best picture. But instead, while it ended up successful in theaters, it was flop with critics and audiences back then. Sure, it’s now a cult favorite but back then it was considered the weakest of the Disney renaissance. So, I’m thinking the same might happen here too. Also, I’m hoping that Disney animation makes a hand drawn Mickey Mouse feature film in 2028. That would be a cool way to celebrate his 100th anniversary.

After seeing how many people (audience -wise) enjoyed Wish (raspberries to the critics for thinking otherwise), I’m glad I checked out Wish for myself. While it is far from perfect, this film is very fun and I’d love to check it out again.🙂

My mom teared up watching this film. Not that she cried, it’s because of giant yawn she gave before sleeping halfway through the flick.

I really love I’m a Star. In fact, I always feel motivated whenever I listen to it.

Well well well, looks like I was right. Matt is not a bandwagon-jumper. He actually tells the dangerous thing: the truth! Well done Animat! I actually heard someone say that the songs were written by AI! I didn't believe it for a moment and now you've given me a reason why!

I feel like electric dragon liked this, just because it’s from Disney

It is kinda funny, there are a lot of people using the Rotten Tomatoes score as a definitive way of knowing whether to check this film out or not. All the while, these same people seem to have forgotten that most critics also hated the Mario Movie for pretty much the same reason they're trashing this one, you know, 'The story is too simple'. Okay, yes, there are a few more criticisms this one's receiving, but that's the chief complaint I've seen.

I personally loved it. I think a lot of people are set with a woman need to find her prince as the Disney montra. This has a female lead wanting to do the best for her community. It gives the power of the individual back to themselves. They shouldn't rely on one man to grant their wish or run their lives. Asha is trying to make their world a better place by making it more fair and individually responsible for themselves and their outcomes. Everyone had a wish/dream. No one should take that away from you. I'd recommend this film again and again. The diversity in the characters is refreshing and so needed. Not only do they showcase folks that are racially different, they also gave her best friend with a disability. These aspects of the film is so revolutionary. This represents the way the real world looks like. Again, I praise this film and I stand by it. I love it. The message, the acting, the music the colors, and the animation was a total win. . Take the kids and go see it.❤💯😍😍😍😍

Hot take: I cried so hard during the ending and the credits especially when they showed all the Disney Characters.😭 Honesty the best ending to an animated movie this year! ⭐️ 🥹

I thought Wish would be amazing, even to the critics. I was kinda expecting it to get the Animat Seal of Approval (Now, you gave it an 8/10, which is a pretty good rating for me) I was surprised this movie had a Rotten Score on Rotten Tomatoes.

I’ve officially seen Wish along with Once Upon a Studio, and I say they were both good tributes to Disney’s 100th anniversary.

You know what I think Disney should have done instead of this movie a animated documentary movie about Walt Disney told from the perspective of Mickey and his friend. The movie could be about each of the characters being interviewed and talking about what Walt was doing when they were created.

The Disney references in this movie are through the roof XD

Why do critics like Trolls 3 more then Wish ?

Hey there Animation fans! Today, we're going to be reviewing Walt Disney's newest animated feature Wish.🌟 Let's see if this Film is worthy of honoring the studio's BIG 100.

Wow. Despite this film’s mixed reception, AniMat gave this film the benefit of the doubt.

Woah! Chris pine as the villain king magnífico?! Amazing! 🤩 First Chris became a childhood guardian with Jack Frost from rise of the guardians now he became a villainous wish keeper with this movie that is called symmetry, my friends also did I forget to mention that Asha is voiced by one of the sisters from Hamilton her performance is phenomenal. Thanks with Ariana Debose. sure this movie may not be one of the greatest but at least is a good sendoff to the 100th anniversary and a charming experience worth remembering by. Wish 8.8/10 ⭐️ Ps. My favorite songs from this movie are this wish and this is the thanks I get because One is so mighty with this message of wishing, while the other is very Catchy mix with some Villainess style Like mother Gothel, did in tangled So far so good. 😉👍

You know what? Screw it! Whenever I get the chance, I’m seeing this film in theaters! Regardless of what the critics have said! No offense to those who have seen it and don’t particularly fancy it.

A positive review of Wish?

I'll say this, Wish feels like a movie that's meant for the Disney super fans. If you're just a casual viewer, you're not gonna get the same experience out of watching it, but if you are a die hard fan of Disney Animation, there's plenty to love.

Raise your hand if you think Star could be a possible merchandise titan like Stitch

Seems like it's hard for Animat to hate Disney movies, unless it's Strange World (which he found just okay)

This is the only positive review on the internet you are going to get for Wish. Think about that.

(7/10) The Story (10/10) The Animation (8/10) The Characters (10/10) The Songs I Give Wish (9/10) It. Was worth it for it's 100 Yearrs Celebration

I just finished watching Wish and it's a pretty fun film for honoring the company's history but compared to other recent Disney animated films, it just doesn't stand out enough. It's a vanilla Disney film and I feel like that might not be enough to remove the nails on it's coffin.

Happy 100th Anniversary to Disney

Not as good as Elemental but it’s still a decent movie.

Knowing what we know now is my favorite song :)

The star character is my most favorite from Wish. It’s adorable, funny, and has a great design too. Honestly, it makes me want a plush toy of Star.😄 Maybe, I’ll consider making a figurine of that adorable guy.

One thing I do agree with from this review is that it's clear the homages and tributes to Classic Disney was really what made or broke the film for many of the critics who reviewed it. Some felt it really helped the film, while others felt it really made it fall flat. It's very fascinating to see how it would resonate for those who saw it. As for the review itself... ...it was excellent and super spot on!

I have seen Wish and let me tell you. This is what I have been waiting for quite some time and it is a triumphant return to Classic Disney. In fact, even with the teaser trailer, I have been preparing to see all of the films of the Disney Animated Canon (even The Black Cauldron and minus Home on the Range and Chicken Little for obvious reasons) and played Epic Mickey (in which I have made similarities prior before seeing the film as they were both celebrating Disney's legacy albeit in different ways) to prepare to see not only Wish but also Once Upon A Studio. Now, as for those naysayers that say that the story of Wish is generic and bland, well here is the twist in the knife fact for all of you, many, if not all, of the films that Disney have made over the century has very generic and bland stories, if you take away the fairy tale aspect of most of their films based on existing fairy tales, yet they were able to be timeless and beloved and that is what Wish is going for. Also for the multiple allusions to other Disney films, I very much enjoyed it, probably because I have never ever watched anything from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The story is classical for a very valid reason, the characters are charming and lovely (I really liked Asha, Sabino is suprisingly my favourite character due to his role in the story and characterisation, Magnifico is the finest and quite the sadistic villain in quite some time and as for Star, it would be as if you combine the personality and energy of the Little Prince and the face shape and eyes of Mickey Mouse and that is enough for me to love him instantly), the theme of community is very strong and admirable, the humour actually gave me very good chuckles, outstanding voice acting, songs that were actually very striking with memorable and inventive lyrics, fantastic score and the animation is lovely and even beautiful. I meant it with utmost sincerity. For anyone who is saying that Wish felt as if it is done by an AI and even dissing the crew because of it in terms of the animation, songs and even the story, clearly you have no respect for the crew who actually made the film. You may call me a naive, even to say ignorant and mushy-brained, fool for all you want, but I gurantee you, you were definetly missing out on something wonderful if you stop being cynical all the time and hopping on board on the Disney Hate Express. With all that out of the way, prepare to hear the full story of Wish, but be wary for some spoilers... Asha's motivation is clear from the start as she cared so much about her community, friends and family, especially her beloved great grandfather Sabino, who is a 100 years old (fitting, I might add) and is celebrating his birthday and is also a blend of the Minstrel from Sleeping Beauty and Georges Hautecourt from The Aristocats and not to mention a brilliant ode and salute to Milt Kahl, one of the Nine Old Men (My father even stated Sabino resembled his own grandfather especially his facial features). Asha is very likeable from that very information alone. As for the Teens who were obvious allusions to the Dwarves, they actually have their own personalites, especially in their vocal performances and character animation, rather than repeats. Simon, who is an allusion to Sleepy, is actually one of the more fascinating member of Asha's friends. See, I would like to imagine that whilst Simon dozes off, which he does, he actually dreams that Rosas is going to be in great peril thanks to Magnifico, and that he is aware of the king's wickedness, but doesn't want to mention it to his friends just yet. When it appeared as if Simon betrayed his friends by revealing the whereabouts of Asha and Star, he did it because he is afraid for anyone of his community to spot both Asha and Star and reporting to Magnifico so he risked his life just to save them. That is an admittedly reckless yet gut-punching and brave move that this young man has ever done. Talking of Magnifico, let us analyse his villainy by using the dragon motif as seen from the forbbiden book. When we first see him, his appearance resembles Elliot from Pete's Dragon. When he is slightly tempted to use the book, he resembles Madam Mim's dragon form from The Sword in the Stone and when he embraced his wickedness, he resembles Maleficent's dragon form from Sleeping Beauty. In other words, Magnifco seemed to be a charming and benevolent dragon but he is actually vicious, narcissistic and dangerous. Also, during the "I'm a Star" sequence, the trees came to life. It made me call back to the Silly Symphony short, Flowers and Trees, where the titular trees and flowers were anthropomorphised. Lastly, the post credit scene after the end credits. Sabino playing Wish Upon a Star on his lute to the night sky. Just think about it, this old fellow about 100 playing a beautiful song on a classical instrument to the night sky. This little scene made my heart move in awe in the best way possible as this is a profound and beautiful way to end the film.

It looks like Disney made their Mario/FNAF, critics hated it but Fans enjoyed it ^^;

I think that what we got from Wish will be like every other film before it. It will be a learning experience that will help the next films.

If Disney can do something big with thier anniversary, just imagine if Pixar, Dreamworks, and Nickelodeon can and would do the same thing too.

It’s a beautiful movie! I feel like the majority of those reviews are just trying to go with the flow of reviews in order to avoid hate comments from ppl. I appreciate your review alot! And I’m so happy to hear you liked the movie! I did too! And agree with all your points

Honestly there were only two things that kept me interested in the movie: One: the fact that Star looks absolutely cute. Seriously, I need a plushie of him right now! Two: The massive amount of references to Disney history, especially in the credits.

Definitely a higher score then I was expecting, I will check this movie out at some point and I know a lot of people are disappointed with this movie since it's the one hundredth anniversary of Disney Studios but I say that the short once upon a studio is already a great celebration of the anniversary.

Just saw it. My husband and i loved it, as did our five year old. Stay for the credits

Thanks you for an honest review. I liked the movie a lot nd found disappointing the reviews bashing disney instead of looking at it as a movie

Happy 100th Anniversary to Walt Disney Animation Studios The Studio who created Some of the Most Iconic Animated Stars like Mickey Mouse Donald Duck Goofy and many more and created Some of the Most Beloved Animated Films like The Little Mermaid Beauty and The Beast Aladdin The Lion King and many more So Happy 100th Anniversary Disney and Thank you for being a part of our lives

I watched it in theaters and I had a good time watching it

Honestly I’d probably give Wish a 5/10 at most. It’s not a terrible movie, per se, but is just so unoriginal, bland and forgettable that I almost wish it *was* bad so I at least had something to remember it for, like with Chicken Little. I’m glad that you enjoyed it and I don’t fault anyone else who does. But after leaving the theater, I just knew I wouldn’t remember anything about this movie after seeing it. And knowing that Disney is capable of far better than this, I wish (heh) that they would shoot for the stars instead of settling for mediocrity like they currently are.

It is nice to have more than one black Disney Princess

I'm not going to make the same mistake I made with Elemental, a movie that I love, and I'll watch it in theaters. AniMat is right: it doesn't have to be a masterpiece to be enjoyable. I was also shocked by the bad reviews. Seriously, what's going on with some critics?

Awesome review! Yay, I’m glad that I heard of someone who was more positive to Wish. I’m glad that you acknowledged this films faults, while being grateful for the good qualities in this film! Well, thanks for reviewing this one. I plan to see Wish either this upcoming week, or the week after. We shall see.

Anyone else notice the sidekick looks kind of like a Luma?

Think it's safe to say everyone has their opinions good or bad on Wish, which is good. Nice to know that Sunday, I'll be seeing the film in a positive light and determine if it's worth it? In short, the biggest plus side is that it's original and not another sequel, for now!!

I'm glad you liked it. This review is a breath of fresh air from all of the unfair hate that this movie gets despite not being necessarily a masterpiece. I hope it does well at the box office.

AniMat I really enjoyed the movie and I thought it was a great one as well. To Me it will alway be an under appreciated gem and a classic masterpiece.

When the film was first announced, I thought it would be a massive crossover of Walt Disney Animation Studios IPs like what it's theatrical short "Once Upon A Studio" had

This review pretty much proves that Matt holds a bias towards the Disney Corporation

Screw, what rotten tomatoes says! When I see this film, which should hopefully be sometime soon, I think I’ll follow AniMat’s example, and form my own opinion about it.

I liked the movie despite what the critics say ;)

Hopefully Elio can save Pixar I'm really excited for that one.

YES!!!!! I'm glad I'm not the only one who liked it!

Wish The Story: 6/10 The Animation: 7/10 The Characters: 6/10 The Songs: 8/10 The Movie: 7/10 This movie isn't perfect, but it's still enjoyable and decent. You'll enjoy the effort, the references, the pacing, and some of the songs. If not at least admire the fact that this is Disney's way celebrating their 100 years making films.

Wish may not be on par with Disney's greatest films of all time it's more of a fine mid tier movie from the legendary studio it's better than what some people are saying and it's all there just needed another go on the writing and songs as finally a positive review that's not just saying it's Disney's worst. They've done worst this is just a fine picture.

I want to see Wish now. Thanks for the video.

I thought Disney will go to dark ages again with mixed reviews and possibly box office flops. I am sick and tired of all the people hating Disney as it they were punching bags

The movie “Wish” just arrived on digital right now. It will be coming out on physical media (DVD & Blu-Ray) on March 12th and on Disney+ at a later date. “Wish” is going to be a huge hit on digital.

Also Wish made more money on it's Opening day than Napoleon with $8.3 Million
