Alicia's audition tape will be releasing Monday, January 29th, and her auditions will remain open until February 10th! Sorry I forgot to mention that in the video.... whoops...

Very well said! "Stop complaining and start creating" should be our battle cry! Walt would be proud of you! Cannot wait to see the completed project!

The determination of the internet to reboot is admirable

The real homage to Walt Disney is the fans rewriting this souless movie.

"...who does not talk..." All I needed to hear.

Idea i had, if it starts out with Alicia trusting the king and queen, you could start out with them wearing more white/light colors to make them see more pure and good, and as the story progresses and Alicia starts to realize that they’re evil, their outfits become darker like the designs shown in the video. Just an idea, I absolutely love this project and am so excited to see how it turns out!! 💕

Fun fact, there's an actual flower named "Aster" that has both the main color scheme of Aster and Alicia, yellow and purple! I don't remember but I think the symbolism of Aster also fits perfectly.

I am on your side all the way. Let’s meet Disney’s lyrical challenge in their latest quote on quote “villain song” “This is the thanks I get”, and “do [their] job”.

The fact that people like you are making actual art, putting in the effort, without having money as an objective, and making stuff far better and more inspired than mainstream movie corporations just goes to show how much you care, and how far those corporations have fallen. It's absolutely amazing that all these artists and animators and voice actors on youtube, (and other platforms) just see what they want to accomplish and do it! You guys actually have heart in your projects, because it's something you personally want to accomplish. Instead of Disney being like, "oh we need to make money, let's make some random thing with no heart and soul" Bravo to all you creators out there! Keep going! Don't give up! You got this!

As a writer and aspiring fellow artist, I would happily volunteer to help with the writing if you are looking for more perspectives and suggestions.

After reading the art book of Wish firsthand, I can tell that the people who stuck around the film really had to pull their punches on what they could say. What you are doing is the passion that the creatives themselves would have stood by.

We’re all with you! VIVE LA REVOLUTION!!! P.S. If you need any drawings done, I’m your man! P.S.S. Wanna hear my ideas!

A thing that was kind of underdeveloped with _Wish_ (beyond… everything), was that the main characters each had a tarot motif-Magnifico and The Queen were The Emperor and The Empress respectively, Asha was The Fool, and Starboy is obviously The Star. I wonder if the other characters could’ve fallen into this motif.

We were robbed. We could’ve had an evil couple and a star romance. Also as for the animation they originally wanted 2D but then decided on a mix of 2D and 3D. I don’t understand how it looks like this they already have the perfect 2D and 3D blend animation that they used for the short film Paperman. In my personal rewrite this is what would have happened. What would’ve worked more was if the king and queen were both evil and Asha was their daughter. Then Asha would’ve grown up thinking that keeping the wishes was the right thing and star boy had to help show her the right way. Also it would add a lot more to Asha’s character by standing against her parents since for all the other Disney princesses with evil parents they’re always stepparents (Lady Tremaine, Evil Queen, and Gothel). So the fact that a princesses actual parents are evil would’ve been so cool. I get wanting villains like the Evil Queen back but Magnifico should've been the sympathetic villain that is way too overprotective and wants to protect everyone due to his own trauma We could even keep the seven dwarves friends but make them people who have already given their wishes so throughout the story Asha and Star help them. I would even keep the betrayal but I would make it work by having Simon have a crush on Asha so he works for the king in order to impress her. Also I wouldn't make Asha quirky I mean she can definitely have somethings but not as much as they did. I would make her more similar to Elsa and Mulan personality rather than Anna and Rapunzel. I would also change Asha's color palette purple reminds me too much of Rapunzel and Isabella. I wish they stuck with the orange red color palette from the concept art I also want to rename the characters too. I like Asha but it doesn’t really fit. I want to rename her to something like Luna to better fit the motif

The fans picking up the Infinity Glove: Fine! We’ll do it ourselves!

I'm glad the fans rewrite history their way but I wish disney makes the movie again using the original ideas.

This touched me so much cause I bought the book inspired by the movie even before it was out. To see how disappointing it was is very saddening. But now seeing this community come together for this is INSANE. You’re going to make a great movie and I can’t wait to see what happens!

One idea: Asher should have a mentor. Idea two: Have Alicia somewhat know/related or have a relationship with king and queen. Idea three: Andres should not like Asher at first but then see him as a brother.

It's crazy how the original concept was so good that it's inspired so many people to create what could have been. Like, the Wish fandom is unironically made of mostly fans of the original concept over the actual movie. Disney messed up so bad, and animation youtube is going to show them how it's done. I'm subbing and following this project of yours, and wish you all the luck!

I usually don't comment on videos because I get super anxious and shy, but this project is just MARVELOUS and I completely stand by it!! Love your passion and I totally share the sentiment! ✨If you ever need an outside opinion on the story/script, I'm totally volunteering! 🌸 Wish you all the luck ever, I'm sure you'll do a great job and I can't wait to see more!

While I love seeing people do redesigns and rewrite videos, it’s nice seeing someone take it a step further! I’m SO excited for this project and will do anything I can, (including possibly auditioning) to help!

You go, girl! Also, love the "Stop complaining and start creating" line! You should make that your slogan! Looking forward to what you got cooking in the artistic kitchen!

Just random, but I always thought that Aster and Alicia were sort of "destined" in a way. Lile, Aster would be almost a guardian angel or fairy godbrother to Alicia when she was little, but for her it's a blurry memory, when it was really just a small forget-me spell since that's one of the ways star people protect themselves. Like, they'd play together when Aster was a little star (there you go Disney merch), and Aster would know about her dad but would be fearful to reveal it all because he doesn't want her to get hurt, cue him maybe humming "At All Costs" to little Alicia when she's sleeping and turning into his actual boy form. Maybe he would even teach her the "language of the stars"/sign language just for fun, but it comes in handy when saving the kingdom later, some words even being spells. Maybe one spell could be her gaining wings like Tinkerbell? In return, Alicia teaches him stuff about the human world like sewing, climbing with ropes, swinging through trees, etc. Sort of a Jack Frost situation, idk. I just think it'd be cute. Edit: maybe an echo-dreamy yet soft voice for Aster, a clear difference from him and the king

Queen Catalina's crown and headdress makes me think of an Egyptian headdress. Just an observation; quite unique.

I love how you just kicked Disney’s ass with logic (renaming the characters and story). I look forward to your progress! You’re an amazing person.

I have an idea for Aster. He can see a hole over someone’s heart when their wish has been taken. An idea of how this could be shown is by him going up to someone and gesturing to where their wish should be or something like that.

IM SHAKING HANDS WITH YOU SO SO HARD I TURN INTO A SMEAR FRAME (both in regard to the points you made as well as also planning to make my rewrite into a project as well)

I feel like this will make a breakthrough like hazbin hotel did, open the animation industry to more indie animation, challenging Disney and making creativity of individuals the new standard in animated story telling!

The intro makes me smile so big 😊

I'm so so hopeful about the future of the creative industry due to projects like this !! People WANT to create and LIKE doing it, and people will absolutely gravitate towards passion and heartfelt works. Good on you and every volunteer/collaborator on this project to celebrate what media can be :D

I will follow this “Wish” to the end of the universe let’s make Walt Disney proud

The only thing I can say about this is: we will be watching your project with great interest 💜

I just need justice for Starboy 😭

I like Wish, but there are some things I can confidently say we were robbed of. I can see from this that you have a lot of passion and dedication. I look forward to seeing what you have in store! Good luck, man!

You know what, you are absolutely right. I am sick and tired of seeing all the rejected concepts that were way more interesting than the final product and thinking “Why was this cut?!” You and the entire crew behind this have my utmost support.

I👏🏻ABSOLUTELY👏🏻AGREE!! My friend, this is going to be a well deserved celebration of Walt Disney’s legacy. I can’t wait to see how this turns out🤩🙌🏻VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!!!!!

“…who doesn’t talk” Aaaaand sold for me thank you

LET’S DO THIS! I am so upset with Disney and what happened to them. It’s our turn to show them what the real fans can do.

I unironically was making a small animation of the villain song since I loved it sm 😭💀 (note: a story board not in an animatic rn lol) Still excited tho and cant wait :D

I am aspiring filmmaker and this is literally speaking to me. Art should be made by artists not executives. I’ll support this project any way I can because it is one of the most noble causes in the animation sphere right now.

This. THIS! is exactly what original Disney magic was made of: passionate people working to bring their imaginations to life. THAT is what Disney used to stand for and what my childhood was made of! Please keep up the great work, I'll look forward to seeing where this goes!

I think this is quite poetic….a moment where everyone came together and said “naw I’ll make my own canon. I hope this project the best. JUSTICE FOR WISH!!

Well, I did a fanmade Wish animatic just to jump on the bandwagon, and it turned out to be the fastest viewed and most like out of my contents. I was thinking of making another animatic, but I'm afraid the trend would be over by the time I would be posting it. I wonder if you have saw it.

ive been waiting for more rewrites of this movie to come out and hearing your ideas and that you are ALSO remaking the music?? im sold, this could have been a great production and im glad more people are using these old ideas to make a much better story than disney did

It’s inspiring to see these creators putting in the effort to make works of art instead of making something just for the profit. I’m only starting out with making animatics, so there’s not much I can contribute, but some tips I’ve learned is to keep shot decisions in mind because they provide so much with storytelling. The different angles and shot decisions can tell different things about the characters and the environments! It’s so cool!

This is going to be awesome!!! Alicia and Aster are both so cute!

I couldn’t agree more with anything you’ve said! This rewrite of yours already feels classic and creatively refreshing, I cannot wait to see all of your ideas put to life! The poster looks AMAZING and I’m in love with your redesigns! They have such better shape language, color schemes, and personality to them! 🤩 I would be happy to lend you a hand if there’s anything I could help with 😊💖

So far I'm 100% loving the concept. Subscribed a few mins in. Yah the last thing Disney made that really felt real was Encanto, but that is after years of waiting for music and a story to hit hard from them.

I’M IN FULL SUPPORT!!! I didn’t even watch the movie but once I saw the OG concept art I was even MORE upset! But I’ll be watching this!

Alicia and the kingdom of starlight sounds like it's gonna be the best wish rewrite ever made.... good job :D

as an artist and writer, if i can call myself that, who has lots of struggles with actually putting in the time and effort to write and draw the stories that i create, this was REALLY inspiring. thank you ❤

YEESSS!!! I completely agree! I know that Walt Disney would be proud of this project! You go girl👏

If you’d like inspiration, I rewrote Wish on AO3… titled, “Wish: Reimagined”! I am not a song writer so I left/tweaked some song lyrics. Anyway. Thanks for listening to my TedTalk. ❤

YOU ARE MAKING MY HEART SO HAPPY DOING THIS! THANK YOU!!!!!

5:18 "I am ashamed of Disney." Glad I'm not the only one. I lost my faith in Disney after watching "Ralph Breaks The Internet". I HATED that movie, it made Ralph SO unlikable! People like you who keep a perfect legacy of the past alive is the only thing that gives me hope for animation.

Im so excited for this project! Based on the somg rewrite i know this project is in good hands. Its honestly shameful what the disney executives did to this movie. The original storyboards for it were so charming and really felt like that good old disney magic. They had this in the bag and it was fumbled so hard, not to mention that they should have started production earlier, they did not give the team enough time.

Girl you are inspiring! If you need any help what-so-ever, I'm here. I definitely can't sing but I'm willing to do anything to help.

You're gonna be a star kid, you're gonna be a star!

I'm not even done with this video, and I'm totally sold on your idea!!! I don't have any helpful skills to help you in this, but I support you 100% on this venture (I'm currently writing a fan fic based off of a bit of the story found in the game Dreamlight Valley and the original Wish concept)!! Also, well done on this sort of announcements video, using great references and use of different scenes and lines from movies AND your commentary using your artistic avatar!! I couldn't help but laugh at how expressive this is!! Go you!!

This project sounds so great! I felt wish was so lacklustre and the original idea sounded so much better anyway, but especially starboy. If you need any help with art I’ll gladly volunteer 🥰

Yes! Yes! Yes!!😊 You go girl!!! Go team!! Let's make our own content!!! Just to suggest a fun little tidbit, (After Aster sacrifices his powers to stay with Alicia) Aster and Alicia could acquire a small amount of magic through the magic of their true love. And thereby become the first fairy godmother and godfather

I just want to say, as person also working on an indie project, you're awesome for doing this for the community. It's a bunch of work, and planning! We all saw the huge potential Wish had, and Disney blew it. I agree with you 100% on everything you said in this video. I can't wait to see where this project takes you. And, for me, the words you said at the end of this video stuck with me the most: "Let's stop complaining, and let's get creating." I think that's my new mantra, xD. Wishing you all the best luck with your project! ^_^

Oh I cannot wait to see how this turns out! I can already see the passion that is poured into this project, and you only showed the poster and character designs...everyone looks fantastic! Little idea I had: I've been thinking about how Aster could be a people pleaser since his task is to grant other's wishes. Maybe it could be shown in the way he does everything he is asked without complaining, until Alicia shows him respect and genuenly listens to him. At the end he would finally allow himself to be selfish for once and have a wish of his own, which would be to stay with Alicia. (I don't know if my idea makes sense but feel free to use it if it piques your interest💕)

I can't wait to see this happen! I hope more people can see this project and help support it

Do you think you'll add the "sincere appreciation" dedication at the beginning before the movie starts or at the end before the credits? I think that would be a nice inclusion as an homage to Walt.

Oh my, you, and everyone who's taking the reigns of what Disney lost are absolutely INCREDIBLE for all you're doing! I waited until this movie came to Disney+ and....well it would not have been exactly worth it to see in theaters.... Seeing all the concepts and what we COULD'VE had was a TRAGEDY! I'm SO excited for this ride and will be absolutely BINGING and look forward to ALL OF IT! I absolutely ADORE your ending speech and wholeheartedly agree!

I'm soooo hyped for this

I’M SUBBING BECAUSE I WANT TO SEE THIS HAPPEN!!!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Also yeah! We wanted Starboy!! They marketed this movie as “going back to the time of classic Disney” well, whether people like it or not, one of the things that made classic Disney so iconic was the whole, true love’s kiss, and love at first sight. I’m not saying Asha and Star should’ve fallen for each other after a minute, or that Asha should’ve been this ditzy damsel who gets rescued by the power of love or anything like that. She can still be how she was in the movie, but having someone to love at her side would’ve made her more well rounded. But no, apparently the writers at Disney are just allergic to love I guess. Anyways, good luck!!! Your character designs look amazing!!

I absolutely love the energy and passion in this video, it’s something that feels so lacking in mainstream productions. I feel like I’m watching some kind of revolution unfold and I’m fully here for it. I’m not even a Disney fan but when I found out about the scrapped concept for this movie it had me tearing my hair out. I don’t think big companies like Disney will return to the old days of soulful animated movies and compelling characters. But I and the swaths of other people on the internet will sure as hell scream at them about it, if only for the chance of getting another Treasure planet or Princess and the frog.

I'd absolutely *love* to see this happen!

Oh let’s go! Wish needs justice. Furthermore Star x Asha needs justice. 😊😊😊. I’m all for this!

Absolutely looking forward to seeing the progress, and final outputs of this project!

I'm guessing that the auditions before this video still count? I hope so. I can't wait to see this all come together, and if I could be a part of it, that would be even better!🤩🤩 (Okay, but your speech at the end was so inspiring!!!)

5:19-5:39 You the words right out of my mouth. I loved Disney, the movies, the cartoons, and some the characters. They were timeless, magical, and full of life and wonder. But now, it feels like they had lost their magic, and some of recent movies are painful to watch. I miss their magic and want them to care again. 😢🥺😭

It feels like all the pure magic has been sucked out by the big corporate leech that is the people in charge of Disney. Theres no more love, no more passion, no more artistic abilities being used. Not to mention that the story was modified to a degree where it was made to sell merchandise (cute star boy and goat guy) and make catchy songs that are cheesy and horrible. I wouldve loved to see a star boy being a love intrest and EVIL ROYALTY! I WOULDVE LOVED TO SEE SUCH BEAUTIFUL IDEAS! Anyway, I wish for the best on this project!

WELP! Time to finish that villain song with Asha now!😂🎉

If I might make one suggestion (to again help separate it a little more from Disney (but also going along with concept art) maybe have Alica's dress swap colors with her sister Carmen (red instead of purple), just a suggestion (I understand if you've gotten a lot more down on the "film" and such things aren't "easy" to change, so if it's to much work, no pressure. Alica and the cast look great as they are :)

i like that your making a whole new movie based on the old concept of wish now i get both wish and this awesome movie!

I'm not exactly a musician, so I doubt I could help much other than with my singing voice. But but but, h p heisler has done a Wish fansong, maybe they can help, the worst they can say is no

Oh my goodness!!! Look at that tiny baby goat!!! I wanna squeeze iiiiiitt!!!! ❤❤❤

Like please JUST please 😊 When this does well you can put this in your portfolio and help Disney make good movies 😂

Can you do that Alicia is the king and queens adopted daughter The only survivior when a ship sank when it was attackt by pirates. And some videos as insperetion is from the channels,sarah's work,saffiro,orbital moon rat. And emma artly.❤

Your designs are beautiful. And I'm glad that they don't have those humungous eyes that Disney won't stop using.

I am rewriting it too, but as a novel.

7:56 The perfect Emperor's New Groove reference.

Pulling a Dreamworks on a Disney movie! So clever!

You will make the tree with lost wishes, which are several ribbons scattered with the wishes of those who still remember. In the "This Wish" part, the scene would be more emotional

I LOVE THE IDEA!!! I completely agree with you! As much as I liked Wish, it's definitely not a film worthy of 100 years. The concepts were so promising, it's incomprehensible that they only offered us this... thing! I don't know what Disney is up to right now but they better wake up! They haven't reached 100 years to sink now after so many wonders! Being French, I cannot participate directly. But I know what it is. I myself plan to rewrite the script by using many of the concepts. I've already done something like this with the script of Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers' movie and I hope to be able to pay a nice tribute to the Disney that we all love. Those who make us dream, those whose songs mark us for life and become hymns. I don't have the talent for songs but I hope the text and context will help make them more interesting.

I’m curious about King Celestino and Queen Catalina. Are they going to be abusive and toxic in a way that brings about their mutual self-defeat, like classic Disney villains (e.g. Clayton from “Tarzan”)? OR Are they meant to play out like Morticia and Gomez, a technically healthy and stable marriage but in a way that they reinforce each other’s evil?

Gods speed. Hope it works out. One thing I love about KZfaq is that we get a good bunch of people like you who know they can do a story better than it deserves to be. Disney has disappointed me most of time when do movies like this. Honestly it’s only the animation shows that hold good grain of salt that gives me hope that they could make really great things again.

I totally agree and the risks/hard work you’re going through is what we need to make something truly beautiful and inspiring. I respect that as a creative personal myself. You got my support and I’ll even consider emailing you some ideas that could help with your project. Don’t worry I won’t be asking for any payment, I understand your concern but I’ll be fine plus I’m gonna be working two jobs with good payments. Just keep doing what you love to do and have fun with your huge project. We got your back.

Your art and ideas look awesome! I have an idea for a little gag/joke. Since Dominic is black and white, he reminded me of the old rubberhose cartoons. And Aster/Starboy can do magic, right? So, what if (by mistake or otherwise), he would turn Dominic into an anthropomorphic rubberhose goat? Even for 5 seconds! It would be a nice omage to the beginnings of animation.

OMG HEY!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR USING MY ART AT 0:28 AHHHHHH LOVE THE VID!!!!

I WANNA HELP! I can draw pretty well, and I'm currently learning how to animate! THIS ALL LOOKS SO FUN, AND I WANT TO JOIN IN! I have a playlist of videos on my channel that I loved SO MUCH, and want to incorporate in some way into the final product, even if it's just little moments in the end!

Good luck to you! I’m disappointed in Disney also and would like to see them do better. On the bright side Disney dropping the ball has given independent artists some space to fill in the void and stand out with projects like Lackadaisy, The Amazing Digital Circus and Hazbin Hotel. The last one especially is beating Disney at their own game with the duet between Charlie and Lucifer, “More Than Anything,” being like musical therapy and causing me to actually break down in tears (that is NOT an easy thing to do but they succeeded). All of this to say that if you can dream it, you can do it. 😊

hi omg im so excited for this! i've been consuming these types of videos like candy and ive had an idea for a villain song! idk if you've seen the musical Ride The Cyclone but one of the songs The Ballad Of Jane Doe sounds very villanous (even if it isn't, it's a lament, but out of context it does sound like a villain song) and I think it would be perfect for our evil king and queen. Especially with the second half of the song where the mood completely changed, it was amazing.

Im absolutely rooting for this project and i hope it comes true its kind of ironic how wish was so bad everyones creative gears started churning, literally the first time i saw wish it reminded me of an old story idea i had as a child about a egotistical narcissistic self loving star taking the form of a human for a girl who yearned for love as they fell inlove and improved and shaped one another into better people, and im currently working on it again! Anyways best of luck on your project i hope things go well for it💐🌼🌺🌹🌻💗🌻🌹🌺💐💗

For me, the final song when they defeat Magnifico actually made me cry. It WAS a beautiful song, but the movie itself fell short.

I'll definitely be willing to share ideas once I know more about your project, and maybe voice a character or two.

Commenting for the algorithm, because your speech at the end almost made me cry and I want to support this project SOMEHOW
