And it just fits so perfectly! A girl who loves wishes with a boy who is the embodiment of fulfilling wishes. Heck, they could even add a scene where Star confesses he's never had a wish for himself, and by the end, he says his wish is to be with Asha.

Still annoyed that we got robbed out a Villian Couple.

21:39 - If they made it so Star Boy doesn't have a perfect grasp on English (since he's not used to being on Earth and interacting with humans) and he keeps mixing up his words and saying the wrong things throughout the whole movie, having him be the one who says *"Watch out world, here I are!"* would have turned it from cringe to downright adorable.

You know what's pathetic? The gargoyles from Hunchback of Notre Dame contributed more to their story than Valentino ever did in Wish. They had to convince Quasimodo to go to the Festival of Fools, and, in the climax, had to help him fight off Frollo's soldiers who were climbing up the cathedral. Valentino did absolutely nothing in this movie to justify his existence. It also doesn't help that he was never funny in the slightest, despite Alan Tudyk's efforts.

You know that scene where the citizens are singing “This Wish”? Imagine that scene but Starboy is dying and it’s like the “I believe in fairies” scene from the original Peter Pan

They say the old school Princesses had no character. The old school Princes had no names.

I still don’t like the excuse of them saying the starboy would be too similar to the Genie.

My therapist once told me that "Love is not a feeling. Attraction is a feeling; Love is a behavior. Love is when you care for someone so deeply that you want to help them become better, and in the possess you might just find you've become better too."

They could have "At All Costs" be Magnifico's villain song if he was singing it to his wife

"princesses were treated as a reward for the prince" but that's such an unfare criticism though?? Even as a child i often felt it was the other way around. Who even remembers the princes' names? They are a "reward" for heroines for being such good girls😂

It’s kind of sad that the original ideas for Wish are better than what we got. I’m always a sucker for lovers from opposite worlds and I think as Disney has made some of the most iconic romances in cinema, having one in Wish would have been a nice celebration of that legacy.

You forgot Princess and the frog. It has a cute romance too 🥰The animation is beautiful, the villain is scary and entertaining, his song is great. I like this movie!

What really annoys me is the fact that they said they scraped Starboy/Aster, due to him "being too similar to Genie" , when Genie is the only! other male, magical character I can think of, and they were created 31 years apart, but somehow that would cause them to have 2 too similar characters too many. But!, in the span of 54 years we have had 11! "fairy godmother" types of characters (4 of them being from the same movie! Fairy godmother from Cinderella, the 3 faries and Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty, the one from Pinocchio, Madam Mim from The Sword in the Stone, The Evil Queen from Snow White, Mary Poppins, Ursula from The little Mermaid, the one from Beauty and the Beast) , but turning Asha into another fairy godmother type of character apperently was completely do-able and no issue at all!

I was the world’s biggest Wamber (Ember x Wade) shipper last summer. I deeply related to Ember because my parents were Brazilian immigrants living in New York, and I was relentlessly bullied for being Brazilian. Then my partner came into my life and he changed me for the better. Elemental meant everything to me. Obrigado, Peter Sohn.

I mean outside of Sleeping Beauty the princess HAD character even in the old Disney films. The story's were about them. Snow White and Cinderella focused almost the entire runtime w the female protagonist and it was the Princes who really didn't have any characters. If anything they were the prizes at the end of the story for girls.

Under The Boardwalk ironically felt more like a Disney movie than Wish.

As someone who aren't much into romances, I had always expressed my thoughts that romance has always been an important classic element in Disney before Frozen and Wish should have romance as it's supposed to be a 100 anniversary celebration for both old and new. This video really speaks for me! Also I really love the idea that even the villains deserves their own true love were they don't care for any one else except for each other and share same sadistic interest in torturing other people. A cute Disney villain couple would be perfect for Wish were the queen could represent every iconic female Disney villain while the king could represent every iconic male Disney villain.

I had this shower thought that Disney technically succeeded in making an original fairytale because now just like any other fairytale, it will be retold in different ways. Sure where gonna have to change names to avoid copyright infringement, but the same characters having different names happens all the time with myths.

At All Cost if used as intended could’ve been reminiscent of “A Whole New World” or “I See the Light” because not only would the song make sense and be more impactful. It could honor Disney in a way that’s not too on the nose.

I really like your version of it. I would in addition also make Asha the daughter of King Magnifico and Queen Amaya. Not only would that acually give Asha royal status, But it would also make the story more interesting. We have seen Disney princesses with abusive and evil step parents. But never with biological parents. I Think Saberspark was the first one I heard come up with the idea and I approve of it.

14:43 Funny you mentioned that. With one of the deleted scenes, that's exactly what they're dynamic was going to be! Asha was originally a down to earth character while Starboy was the quirky one who was getting used to Earth. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mq2gepxqmtLJYps.htmlsi=3_i6-nLxddH-m7vO Especially with a moment after they escape the Queen, we're treated a beautiful ocean scene caused by Star's magic that makes the animals follow them in joy. It even becomes a three way reference to Little Mermaid, Pinocchio and Aladdin. Asha gets so caught up in the magic that Star caused, she actually starts to have fun and enjoy the adventure. Only to remember her mission and has to snap back to seeious mode. Its such a small, but well drawn scene Star is having an affect on her and showing her the fun in life, even with the evil looming.

I love your idea of the wishes in Magnifico’s chamber naturally disappearing on their own when Asha and Starboy/Aster go around fulfilling them in different ways, with Magnifico and Amaya growing paranoid about losing leverage over their subjects! I wasn’t sure of how to give Magnifico a clear motivation to do evil while already having magic (I imagined him as a Wizard of Oz-like figure who wants to acquire magic to hold on to power), but this is a great one!

First, love the new outfit. It really suits you. Second, It's such a shame Disney is so against giving their protagonist a love interest nowadays, and this film, a celebration of 100 years, was the perfect chance to bring it back. And you're right, Asha would've been so much more interesting if she had Star Boy to bounce off of and grow as a character with.

I think what pisses off a lot of people about wish is because there is potential to be a good movie it's just disney didn't try they just wanted a movie for the 100 year anniversary. There was no heart or passion behind it. Its like that kid in class that knows the answers on a test but only does enough to pass to keep the teacher off there back and doesn't care and is just doing it to get it over with.

The meta of a Disney princess pioneering the art of animation in universe is just lol.

I can imagine Starboy having a voice similar to Peter Pan.

“At All Costs” the demo version is favorite song from this movie. It sucks that they didn’t add it to the final version.

Literally the musical Aida has a whole number called Every Story is a Love Story and in it the princess literally sings about how every story ever told is a story of love. "All are tales of human failing. All are tales of love at heart." I always took it to mean that any story is somehow about love either having it, looking for it, losing it, the very absence of it etc. i miss the old disney romances 😭 i didn't realize how old Tangled is, i remember seeing it in theaters with my sister when i was 12

Asha never has an iconic look either, something I loved about old Disney as a kid. Would've been cool to have a more stylized look and a blue or green dress, maybe teal. Great video, I agree with you.

This rewrite (and all the others) is gonna be WAYYYY better than the actual Wish. Also Haleema canon!!!

5:01 Raisor Blade call the crush of Dolorès Markiplier this is just peak and the proof for me i am in the good dimension

This re write feels better executed and almost timeless than the actual Final Cut!!! Kudos to you and your writing skills 🥰🥰🥰

I think some people need to actually rewatch and do an in-depth analysis of the old Disney movies and their character. The princesses had motivations (Cinderella didn't want to go to the ball simply for the prince. That was just an added bonus. And Prince Phillip actually had personality). Don't get me wrong, the renaissance era did a much better job at fleshing out the characters and their relationships, but the old Disney movies (Despite being made in a time where it didn't really matter), did have a bit of spice put into the characters. I think a lot of people who critise stuff that doesn't actually happen (Like the princess just being objects for the prince to win in the end) haven't actually watched the movies

Disney romances were some of the best. I hope someday they will do it well again. Good job mentioning Elemental, too.

And the main villain was supposed to be a villain couple. That would of been a goldmine lol.

this is probably my favorite rewrite I've seen so far! love the idea about "I'm a star" being a compilation of everyone granting their own wishes, I think that would have fixed like 60% of the movie

24:35 Hey! That’s my friend! I know her!

20:16 Oh my god they do give off lesbians vibes, they even have like matching colors of yellow and blue on their outfits #HALEEMA

If Disney hadn't skipped the BEAUTIFUL love story between Asha and the Starboy, and the evil villain couple, Magnifico and Amaya, then i would have absolutely LOVED "Wish"!!! 😭💔💢

I'm wishing! I'm wishing! For a better film to find me! To find me! Today!

Hell, Disney has actually done films that don't have romance as the main focus very well in the past. Treasure Planet is the best example I can think of.

While not every movie needs romance, it's still nice to see it

Starboy was clearly meant as a genderswapped version of Neil Gaiman’s Stardust. And I’d have been all for it.

This movie just screams of lost potential. I'm honestly glad I never saw this movie. Nice artwork by the way.

If I wanted to play an out of context love song to my wedding, I would just play "Love is an Open Door"

There's a great fan made animatic uploaded to youtube using scrapped dialogue between Magnifico and Amaya. They had great chemistry, they acted just like Morticia and Gomez Addams, ugh they were so cute and unapologetically evil, I loved it! The scene was genuinely funny, too. Why did Disney scrap this?

I like new design of your character razor looks awesome ROCK ON BRO 🤟👍

He's a shapeshifter so Disney could have given us the hot starboy AND made a plushie. He could have stayed mute also which could have been a call back to the little mermaid

I love your new character artwork!! Gives me a punk kingdom hearts vibe

The star is just there so they can make a plushy of it to sell at Disney Land.

With Beauty and the Beast we'll never have another movie like that what other movie has created a whole category in the academy awards after being nominated for the best picture one

We need the Snyder cut of Wish.

And this is where the debut of his new look comes in. 👌

11:43 I legit didn’t know people started calling Star Bot Aster😭❤ that is such a fitting name for him. Oh my God. It’s so freaking cute.❤❤❤❤ I’m touched. Also I just found your channel! This video was amazing🎉❤

Seriously, if you guys wanna see a wishing movie that actually has a good message, watch the Pokemon Jirachi the wish maker movie

I swar, PIKACHU in his first appearance showed more character and more personality!

Glad I am not the only one who noticed this recent anti-love trend in Hollywood, where it seems that a lot of filmmakers think they are being uber-progressive for not giving their main protagonist a love interest.....despite the fact that love is one of the most universal and natural parts of the human experience. It just comes off as rather sad that Hollywood thinks that a character without love is somehow stronger.

Basically, Asha is probably the worst main character Disney has ever had. I remember seeing the clip of her arguing with the king, and I was like “You are such an asshole Asha!” Like the idea of granting every wish even the bad ones is a very bad message. It’s pretty dangerous, to be honest with you.

I gotta say, as someone who wants to be in the entertainment industry, there is a good point in saying to take inspiration from the bad stuff. Cause this film and it's og concepts did inspire an idea of mine with some similarites. And I intend to learn from Disney's mistakes.

10:50 Huh. You know, as common as that saying is, I've never actually seen floodgates opening like that before. Neat.

Disney appears to be struggling with regulating when its works need romance and when it doesn't. It's more or less basing its motivations on trends that the viewers follow and like and assume that if they don't make a work focused on a perceived character personality trend or something then the viewers might not like it. Disney used to be one of the ones that set the trends not follow them, so WISH was supposed to be the one setting the trend that started it all not underwhelmingly trying to follow trends. Asha, I liked her design but for her character, she tries too hard and has no exact direction of a need for growth. The star while cute as a plushy, well, yeah it's just a plushy, sorry. King Magnifico was supposed to be The Villain that wrote the book on villainy, the baddie that started all baddies, but he came off more like a disgruntled, underappreciated dad who's trying to teach their kid that not all wishes are good wishes until he has to go extreme on his lesson. The moral lesson of the movie wasn't much of a moral lesson. WISH had the potential to be so much more and still does if they ever consider a surprise rewrite, but the played too safe in assuming what the audience would like instead of they themselves creating what could be liked the way they did back then.

New threads are f*ckin sic dude.

I'm a sucker for Disney romance. Hope they take note and give us something soon

The message about still being happy despite not having our deepest desires come true reminds me a lot of Pixar's Soul. The wishes is almost exactly the same as Soul's purpose. The two films however has an almost complete opposite view on the matter.

What if magnifico after finding out Aster is literally wishing star (after the 'I'm a star' song where Asha and Aster help fulfil/grant wishes without magic) kidnaps him as a ransom to get wishes back from the people so Asha needs to gather the masses to free Aster and in turn people realise how evil Magnifico is and rebel; it's one thing to receive a selflessly given wish it's another to steal/kidnap a literal wishing star because you want people to relay on you granting them wishes; even though he was doing it without magic

Tiana was the most recent disney princess with romance that was a balance of fantastical and more modern relationship dynamics

The reason WISH don’t want to have any romance they want this whole girlboss crap where the girl can beat the bad guy without a love interest all that jazz. Also, they think romance is too stereotypical.

(the boy and the heron won the oscar and im really sad cus i literally love ghibili films like i have a tally on a small white board for how many times ive seen what films - but i didnt see it in theatres and now i have to wait til summer for it to be available for watching)

I kinda wish King magnifco was like Calypso from twisted metal. How every time someone makes a wish, he will use a monkey paw style of granting them. For example if someone wishes for the power of flight and they jump off a building, its reviled he used a double meaning and got plane tickets

I have seen the deleted cutscenes of this movie and my gosh, why disney,

And don’t forget that the reason that Disney want to kill NIMONA is because this movie have the balls to make his LGBTQIA+ couple the main character of the movie and not a secondaire character or extras or background character that can be easely deleted for having the money of Russia and China country And Disney make a really big *T R O L L* to the LGBTQIA+ community with the movie Strange World went they say « You want that the main character are gay/lesbian ok *B U T* you don’t say and you don’t presice that his/her boyfriend/girlfriend was the main character too » * insert Trollollo song here * So yes Disney hate gay romance too

It wasn't till now that I realized the voice of perrito voices the "grumpy" character in this film. Very ironic, since Wish has their own perrito, Valentino, and he is a much worse version of him.

That new outfit of your avatar looks good RaiserBlade👍

You new cartoon avatar is more than cool

I’ve listened to several rewrite ideas for wish now and this is the best idea yet! And the ideas are actually so simple and obvious it’s laughable Disney didn’t come up with it.

At All Costs could work I could see something like Heaven's Light/Hellfire Where one side is a song about Star aka Aster and Asha and the other is one with Magnifico and Amaya With two opposing parallel themes

Here's an idea: why doesn't somebody on youtube create a new indie studio and use the concept arts to create a 2D animated youtube indie movie

I don’t think the classic trips don’t work anymore. They’re classic and have been around for all human history because there’s something true about them. As a woman I want to be protected and rescued by a strong man, thankfully I have that in my husband. All that to say I don’t think women should feel bad for having that desire that women have experienced for literal centuries.

For the star boy I would have him not to talk. Why ? Because it would be interesting Asha would have to do sign language and the way they could show love.

21:52 LINKIN PARK

An enchanto idea i had in mind for as long as the movie has been out Make it a series!! Like tangled did with their animated show. Rapunzel got to go on an adventure, her parents get actual involvement in her life and so on. Mirabel could have that too, give Dolores more time with her 'new boyfriend', camilo could have an ep for himself about getting tired turning into other ppl maybe, have the cousins be on a trip looking for an exit of their mountains. Heck, GIVE BRUNO A FREAKING FAMILY OF HIS OWN!!! It always struck as funny to me that we get 3 trios of children. Let me explain peppa, juliana & bruno: 2 girls one boy Camilo, dolores & antonio: 2 boys one girl Isabella, luisa & mirabel: 3 girls So, wouldn't it make sense for bruno have 3 boys?? And they don't need to be his biological kids either. In an interview the producers got asked about who could get miricals in the family. Except for their marriage partners the kids can be given their own if they are in the family. Adoption included. They could make him take in 3 rambunctious boys that somehow got granted entrance into the mountains bc they run from a bad guy or something, and they would learn over time that bruno is a great dad to them and want to stay with him. The bad guy could even be the main baddy of the show or be connected to what ever villain they cook up with. The Tangled cartoon made good character arcs AND songs. Who is to say that this couldn't work?!?! It hopefully happens in the future, bc if not then this is a wasted opportunity in my book

19:30 jiiva. congratulations if you understand the reference. 22:22-23:03 and how'd the "wish orbs" fit in? what's so special about them that'd warrant Magnifico to hoard them? i've made my own rewrite of the script (but without a moral mesage, mind you. i just want to have a good story) which gives the wish orbs a relevant part to play - and makes both Magnifico and Amaya villains from the start. i'd be happy to copy-paste my rewrite here; but i want to know: do you *want* me to?

just imagine if Asha wished for her Starboy to remain.... 🥺

I wanted the villian to be the reason why his home was destroyed. He wanted attention and to rule his old home, but they didnt listen to him. So he destroyed the whole place so they know to fear him. I thought that was where it was going for a bit, but no.

Omfg!! They lost GOOD POTENTIAL!! Like a starboy romance?! 😮

I absolutely loved this video!!! Also I really loved that you showed HaH Studios animatic in your video they are my personal favorite animatic KZfaqr of all time!!!

I don't know what the agenda is at Disney but it feels dark and sinister if they're literally at war with LOVE ITSELF...

Your new avatar looks awesome. And that angry expression is hilarious! While I wouldn't say I was pining for a romance story in "Wish," I like how people rolled with that idea for Asha and Starboy, and this one is no exception. I could imagine him showing off his shapeshifting powers to garner Asha's attention and later use them to comfort her during her downer moments. Oh and speaking of powers, I want to see a final showdown between the two couples using magic against one another. Maybe have Magnifico and/or Amaya capture Starboy and absorb his powers to become shapeshifters (i.e. turn into dragons a la Maleficent) and spread their curse onto their subjects, like how Magnifico did in the actual movie. Then maybe Asha would unite said subjects against their rulers (again, like in the final film) and use whichever magic she's learned to free Starboy. The two heroic lovers, along with the people of Rosas, could combine their respective magic and hope/courage to create a final blast against the king and queen, defeating them once and for all.

At this point, it would be an understatement to say that Disney's Formula right now is a freakin' mess. They're working on a Moana Sequel that no one needs *AND* a Live-Action Moana Remake *THIS EARLY ON!?!* Disney doesn't listen to its own community *AT ALL!!!*

As a Disney fan. I miss the whole Prince charming trove. It's okay to be independent and not have every character fall in love, but Disney is literally the company that dwells on romance and they're taking that away, it just really seems dull and the fact that when we got to the Renaissance. Yes, female characters finally get to have a voice and finally get to show their true personality They still have the sense of love and wanting a Prince in their life. It's okay to be in Love and Disney is removing that. Then what's the point of the whole Disney loving magical princess? And Fairytale trove Disney is slowly. Dying because of this😢

Twisted Wonderland has been active for several years, but it's a better celebration of Disney and its movies than Wish was.

23:48 your art look beautiful than original concept🌟

Magnifico wasn't even a classic villain, he wasn't evil from beginning to end. He was a good benevolent king who only became evil when Asha started to rebel against his authority. If anything Asha is the villain as she's the one who drove Magnifico to use forbidden evil magic. I think in the original when a person gave up their wish it would leave a hole in their heart, a void of that if they thought about even if they don't remember their wish they would have this empty feeling in their life. Also some wishes may have some unforeseen consequences to them being magically granted, like a doctor who wants to cure every illness may cause new and more dangerous diseases to be brought about. Some wishes may be to dangerous to cast for the wisher, like a person who wants to be able to fly may plumet to their death if they loose concentration. Finally some wishes may just be to stupid to grant, like having a giant chicken. With Asha and Aster helping people realize and accomplish their wishes on their own without Magnifico granting them may make the wish kept up in the tower vanish, this would concern Magnifico as he would consume the magical energy from the wishes to fill the emptiness in his own heart from using dark evil magic as well as fuel his and Amayas magic.

14:15... I'd say that was liable against Briar Rose, but that's actually a valid critique of the OG trio of Princesses... Well they do say 'Third time's the charm.'

Out of all of the rewrite ideas I've seen, this is my favorite. Since Asha clearly loves her friends, family, and kingdom very much, her and Aster working together to help people achieve their wishes is a great way to expand her character. It would also give individuality to her friends, who currently really don't have a reason to exist. And of course, it builds chemistry with our main couple, plus everyone else! Also, I really like the concept of Haleema, and why not tease two of the boys from the group being interested in each other? Bingo, we got some nice representation.

Your new look goes with your name

PLEASE BRING BACK THE ROMANCE??? PLEASE !!!!!!

I haven't really found anything about the romance part. A fellow user who brought up that Star was supposed to show shape-shifter powers also said that there was no romance plotline as far as we know and Star's role was still going to be the same as it was in the final film. The video I read it from was a animation of the This Wish reprise but with Star turing into his Star Boy form. On a side note I do want to ask you a question.

I'll NEVER let Disney live that one down!!

I think it would be quite interesting if Asther actually couldn't stay on Earth like he would have to go back he's a star it would be somber but it would also introduced kids to the sad reality that sometimes people you love have to go and it's no one's fault it would also introduce them to the feeling of grieving and that it's an okay thing to do even for someone you may have only spent a little bit of time with It would be sad but sweet and it would go well with the message of Don't look backwards look to the Future sure the person you loved may have gone but those memories remain I guess in some weird sense it would kind of tie in the Starboy to Walt Disney himself which I think would be really sweet because from what I can tell from the stories he really loved his wife I just think this would fit so well It would definitely be a better moving then the garbage we were given
