I agree it is on the people who willingly gave up their wishes and whine that they haven't granted it yet. The people of Rosa fit the sins of Greed and Sloth.

We stan our tired wizard king. Also i agree, Asha has a SUPER pretty design. Look up Princess Asha au fanart, its gorgeous!

See but Asha said that when you give up the wish, you "forget without regret". Why Simon looking like he had regret the whole time? 🤨🤨🤨 hmmmmmm 😄

I never noticed that Asha never got an outfit change until you mentioned it. Crazy.

“Is Magnifico a villain? No.” Subscribed 🤣

15:34 Apparently the songwriter wasn't given any information about the story when she was writing the songs, and At All Costs was originally a love song... So it makes sense that nothing makes sense

Magnifico was honestly justified in being entitled. Look, if i spent decades making sure my citizens were happy and protected, i would also be upset if they never once said a genuine "thank you" and kept asking me for more things. Magnifico was a man that was taken advantage of and eventually broke down

Great video, and I agree that Asha should have gotten a costume change. Magnifico isn't a villain, but the weird thing is it's easy to imagine how they could have made him a villain. Like if he did demand that people give him the wishes instead of it being voluntary, or if the city had a lot of poverty but he stayed in charge by granting just enough wishes that everyone was like "Yes we have problems but what if MY wish is granted next? We can't get rid of Magnifico!" Instead he's just . . .a pretty reasonable guy who altruistically grants wishes.

To answer the question of the Peter Pan and Snow White references... It was the 100 year anniversary, so of course they would feel the need to shoehorn their legacy in a way that's more obvious than usual. Even if the reference itself doesn't make any sense (Peter Pan's supposed to be a kid, no older than 12 or 13, while "Peter" doesn't look a day under 16).

You're opinions are agreeable! and to be real for me I'm quite mad that there's no romantic interest- I miss the cutie romance that Disney would make in their movies time to time!

NGL, to me Asha is the villain. Magnifico invented wish magic, he's under no obligation to use it. He built a kingdom where there was nothing, so nobody who lives in Rosas does so under duress. They came there explicitly because they wanted Magnifico to grant their wishes. He doesn't promise to grant any one wish at a specific time, or at all. He promises to grant whichever ones he thinks best and keep the others safe. Now, it could be argued that maybe his judgement of which wish to keep is flawed. Or that maybe he should give the wishes he knows he won't grant back. The problem is that they didn't show any sign that he's being, well, evil. No desperate people being thrown out of the castle because they annoyed the king with their begging. No people being herded to a ship because they refused to hand over their wishes but wanted to stay with their family, who had. No people being hunted down for refusing to hand the wish over and staying in hiding. No scene of Magnifico consuming wishes until AFTER he turned to dark magic, which he only did AFTER Asha started threatening to take the wishes he is safeguarding. No guards suppressing unruly citizens that want to storm the castle to retrieve the wishes he holds. He's a decent man who built a kingdom of happy, well-fed and protected people who overreacted to a threat because of past trauma.

As a small KZfaqr (and quite young one) that has also seen the movie about a week ago,I personally don't think that Magnifico is that much of a vilian until he gets so upset and does the whole "This is the thanks I get!?" song and use the evil magic. And Asha not only manipulates her friends into thinking that Magnifico is in the wrong just because he thinks that a lot of the wishes are dangerous and is trying to protect Rosas,she also makes Queen Amaya side with her. To me,she's kinda unlikeable,even tho I see why she would say that,but still. Also,her voice annoys me. Like,a lot.

1 asha is not a princes 2 her cape is the fairy godmothers cape since shes supposed to be her

To be fair to the princess part, I believe Mulan is considered a Disney princess as well, and she also remains a commoner even after the story. I could be wrong about her being considered a Disney princess, free to correct me! But otherwise I very much agree with many parts of the video!

The part that really upsets me in the movie was her trying to please everyone even if it men’t starting a WAR!

Idk but giving up your dreams to a king looks like voting at 18 you vote but never quite get what you want.

The Katniss reference😂 I can't say you're wrong🤷‍♀️ The story had A LOT of interesting plot points that it SHOULD have been explored instead, but chose this jumbled storyline & forgettable characters instead. You raise so many good points.

So glad you pointed as Asha's design because I don't hear anyone talking about that. I love what they did with her face. I don't know if anyone has noticed, but Disney tends to make their female characters look like babies, with ridiculously large eyes, button noses, and button noses without a bridge. Take a look at Elsa and Anna from Frozen--they are by far the worst example of this, they look like this weird fusion of woman and infant. Aisha looks different from this, while yes she has a cute face with big eyes, she actually has a nose bridge, her eyes aren't taking up 90% of her face, and her face is proportioned like a teenager--not a weird infant with the body of a woman. Her facial design is probably the best I've seen so far. But they did her so dirty with that dress. She looks like she's wearing rags. Where is the color? The vibrancy? The fun little details? No embroidery, lace, ribbon, or embellishment? And as much as I like the long hair, she would've looked a little more memorable if they braided her hair and weaved some flowers between each braid. It's a shame because character design is so important in animation, its what makes a character stand out, makes you want to know more about them, makes you want to buy their merch because they look so good. Aisha's design is so flat and lifeless, just like her personality. They did her so dirty.

Such a great first video! I agreed with a lot of our opinions as well! I feel like Asha as a character could have had so much potential had she been written better- and the whole plot of the movie as well, let’s face it. I never thought I’d say I really disliked a Disney Princess until Wish came out (And what’s worse is that she’s rumored to join the official Princess lineup at some point 😖). It makes me prefer Raya over her in terms of recent Disney Princesses and that’s saying something cause I could not stand Raya at first- but at least she’s the daughter of a chief and had a genuine personality aside from being quirky and obnoxious like Asha and nothing else. I’m all for quirky characters in movies, but only if that’s not their whole personality, you know? Also you’re not trippin’ about Asha’s outfit either- while I do like that it’s a color other than the standard neutral ones peasants often wear in movies, I was really disappointed by it in terms of Disney Princess outfits- like that set of rags is not gonna be iconic like the dresses the other princesses are wearing. Anything that screams “I’m fighting starvation in District 12 on Reaping Day” is not gonna be remembered for years to come 🤣🤣🤣

No shade but I feel like aura is the most forgetful princess to me at least the main Disney princesses

I would have made asha the end game villain and king magnifico the hero

18:08 lmaoo the best part was the dragging of the people of rosas

So a beautiful dress for all the Princesses but what did they do to better the lives of others they found true love and lived happily ever after cool. Most of us in life gets to marry the person we love and have the fairytale wedding and castle like homes etc but does that ever help others dream come true. Asha made everyone realize that their true desires and dreams are important to them. Asha wish came true by being true to herself. She’s different and that’s why I like her. Most fairy tales are just that tales Asha maybe one of the few Disney stories that seams to be somewhat true. Her personality etc. It would be weird to someday find out that Disney told us a fairy tale like story and it wasn’t a fairytale.

Translation: AUTO from WALL-E and Chef Skinner from Ratatoulie are also good guys.

I also think it’s the wishes are actually different dimensions that ppl made up there own worlds as for Asha or whatever her name is spelled didn’t learn anything like careful what you wish for and the consequences that happened but her as a godmother is just not a good idea because she’s a people pleaser. And they could have made her outfit a bit better if they really wanted her to be the godmother she would need an update maybe put in some shining.Hair pens in her hair with stars on her cape she just doesn’t stick out as much. There was no lesson like make a wish and nothing bad will happen someone might need a doctor and ends up wishing for death or end of the world.

you are right even if he had bad partes but his doing it for the people and in the kingdom there is no starvation no crime no worries and then when he says no they go agents him he turned evil he didn't become a bad guy the book controls his personality after that he became the bad guy and Asha just grants every peoples wishes if she did that , that will be a tribal idea if you want to know about that watch the movie Bruce almighty

your voice is relaxing don kno why

Hello from Malaysia, I was very skeptical about seeing this film, until I'd read all of the reviews saying that it's not worth watching. Did you see Once Upon A Studio as well? I saw it but I wasn't very happy with the animation style on several of the characters, especially with the Disney Princesses.

Yes indeed, Asha does have a fin character design, as does Star and everyone else in the movie. The character designs were one of the few truly great things in this movie. It's too bad that they're wasted in such a bland movie like this one, although I'll admit that the movie does improve somewhat in the 2nd half of the movie when Magnifico randomly becomes evil out of nowhere.

Haven't seen Wish, but I stuck around for your funny comments 🤣

Just because Magnifico is handsome doesn't make him a good guy. One man wished for a family... Why didn't he grant him that wish? Another was a man's wish for a child... Those wishes feel good, the better the wish, the stronger the good will. ...what wishes did he grant? a man wanted butterflies on his head and some woman wanted to make the most beautiful dresses. She could fix Asha's drab look ...No wait! Magnifico was a hero...

Is Asha black? She's beautiful. I was dying at the district 12 comments 😂

Ariel don't count, she's the daughter of a king who married a prince so she don't really count for R to R

Looking good doesn't make Asha be a good person or a good character.

Honestly without watching the video I can say: He's the villain because he canonically wrote This Is The Thanks I Get

The answer is no

Lol the part where you say that Magnifico wasn't scary. He was, to me, heartless at some points. For example, when he broke Asha's mother's wish right in front of her. Gosh. I felt that tiny scene, even when the woman said hrr daughter made a mistake. That was heartless for me.

I think the movie would have been better with subtle or overt references to Disney Princesses visiting the kingdom, similar to how "Wreck-It Ralph" included various characters. Imagine all the Disney Princesses appearing in the background or the movie centered around them attending a grand event. This would create a celebration feel, suitable for an anniversary film. Peter Pan's story doesn't need to be included, as it seems to exist in a different timeline. However, there could be a format that sets this in the future, considering Arendelle's historical setting. For example, a director hinted that Elsa's parents didn't die but crash-landed on an island, becoming Tarzan's parents. This implies different timelines and settings for various Disney stories. Some countries in the Disney universe could be depicted as more advanced while others remain medieval, similar to how some tribal and modern cities coexist today. This would allow for a diverse representation of different settings and eras. The movie could explain why Peter Pan is older and not in Neverland. Perhaps he left Neverland to be with Wendy, her daughter or another girl/boy who didn't want to stay in Neverland, which caused him to age. This would provide a logical backstory and integrate him into the broader Disney universe. To reference old Disney movies effectively, the film could include the princesses' descendants visiting the kingdom and interacting with each other. This would create a rich, interconnected storyline, acknowledging the anniversary celebration. The movie could have featured a storyline where the characters work with the Disney Princesses, creating an authentic Disney feel. All the Disney villains could come together to create havoc, prompting them to seek help from King Magnifico or the king ask them for help. This plot would have made sense and been quite exciting.

Remember when Disney started the campaign to humanize villains? I think that's the case here. I haven't seen the movie, so I'm not going to judge it or say it's bad. It seems to be one of those movies that gets a lot of hate, but I might like it if I watched it because I often enjoy movies that others criticize. I believe King Magnifico was never intended to be a true villain. People might be upset because they expect a moral lesson, but I think this movie was created purely for entertainment, celebrating Disney's 100th anniversary. It includes many references to other Disney movies, and its purpose might just be to entertain rather than teach a lesson. King Magnifico is not an anti-villain; he's a powerful king with an ego. At the beginning of the film, he's portrayed as a reasonable person. Disney creators are clever; they know what they're doing. Typically, Disney villains are either evil from the start or have a twist reveal. King Magnifico seems to become a villain due to outside influences, like dark magic, which he turns to in order to eliminate perceived threats. Initially, King Magnifico is shown as a good person with noble intentions. His transformation into a villain is gradual, influenced by external factors like the dark magic book. This change highlights his internal struggle, reflected in the song "This is the Thanks I Get." The song lyrics suggest he feels unappreciated despite his efforts for his people. The lyric video even uses different colors to signify his corruption by the dark magic. Regarding the lyrics from the song which say, "I let you live here for free and I don't even charge you rent," these lines might be redundant. However, they can be interpreted to mean he doesn't impose taxes or rents, providing free housing and possibly tax-free living, which contrasts with the typical American system where such services are not free. Overall, King Magnifico starts as a good king who becomes corrupted over time, possibly due to the pressures and ingratitude from his people. This transformation makes him a more complex character, reflecting how external influences can change even the best intentions. The "I let you live here for free," can also mean he doesn't charge you to become a legal citizen. In America, you have to pay to live here. You have to pay money. To become a citizen and start the process. This contrasts with the part of the song where King Magnifico says, "I let you live here for free." This likely also means he allows people to live in his country without charging them any fees. Unlike in America, where you must pay for everything, including a green card, King Magnifico's country offers free housing, no taxes, and free citizenship. In America, you can't get necessities like food, water, heating, or healthcare for free. Many countries in Europe and Canada offer free healthcare, but America does not. The costs of living in America can be very high, making it difficult for people to survive without being charged substantial amounts of money. King Magnifico seems to offer a more generous approach, allowing people to enter and live in his country without financial barriers. I'm sure that He ensures that newcomers are checked for safety but does not require them to pay to become legal citizens, unlike in America. I can see why it would be done. King Magnifico was smart and had a lot of powerful magic that he used to build his country. If he needed to do something that cost money, he could make it happen without any actual cost. He could reach back into the wish bubble room and pick a wish to fix the problem. He could make money poof out of thin air, and thus, he wouldn't need their taxes.

The story behind 'Wish' is that it is the beginning of all fairy tales when peoples wishes are released to be able to come true.

She doesn’t have pretty clothes but she has a beautiful heart. You not tired of hearing that you have to be a princess and marry a prince and born into royalty to be someone. That’s the whole point of the story a wish upon a star literally making dreams come true

I think the evil of King Magnifico was meant to come later, as he was initially a good person who did everything for the best of his citizens. The song "This is the Thanks I Get" reflects the general discontent he feels. It's strange that the song begins with someone asking, "What if I don't want the wish after I get the reward for bringing you this new creature?" In my opinion, this might have been a tipping point. King Magnifico had to deny wishes, and people likely complained about that. People often show disrespect for authority, particularly Americans, who dislike being told what to do. This attitude might have been reflected in his citizens. Some of his citizens may have been ornery and disrespectful. While many loved King Magnifico because he was a good king, others, like Aisha's grandfather, were angry when they couldn't get their wishes. I think the song from the king comes from the feeling of: "I gave you something you wanted, and you're unhappy with the reward I gave you?" When I watched the lyric video of the song, it was clear that something was taking over King Magnifico. Around the time he encountered the book, the video showcased two colors: green and yellow. Green seemed to represent the evil influence of the book corrupting him, while yellow represented his true, good intentions. The mixture of the two colors suggests a struggle between his original personality and the corrupting influence. I don't think he became evil purely due to his own personality, I think it's because he was messing with the dark magic, and whatever spirit was in the book began to change him for his power.

Yes. Yes he is really a villain. Might not be what he intended to make of himself, but that's what he became by the end. Unambiguously.
