Depends on which side of the pond you’re on. I hear the film got a bit more positive reception in places like Italy and Japan.

​Maybe it's a translation thing?

Calling it an abomination makes it sound way more interesting than it actually is

@@geoffreyrichards6079 Probably saw it more of just a movie to watch. Here we over-analyze basically everything, which isn't exactly a bad thing, but the culture of criticizing just about everything is definitely rampant here in the West lol

Woooow! That speaks VOLUMES!!!

Yeah

400th like

literally every disney movie now

I’ve heard that kids don’t even like the movie.

Because good ideas arent marketable enough to kids (DISNEY NEED THAT MOOLA WAHOO 🤑🤑🤑)

corporations stifle creativity.

Time press from the corporate side, I'd guess. The creatives are given time to work on interesting concepts, but before they have the time to finish them off, the company is like "We need the movie NOW, we need to start making money NOW" and so, they have no choice but to stop playing with concepts and work *something* out

@@hanasan4845 DEI doesn't help, either

Doraemon films as well as the Pokemon movies enter the chat

And that movie is meant to be a meta take/or parody of Disney movies, that is ironically produced by Disney

I loved Enchanted as a kid. I should rewatch it.

I thought the exact same thing! Imagine if the movie's release dates were switched and Enchanted was the 100th anniversary. That would've been WAY more fitting. Because Enchanted is not just a humorous parody of past Disney movies, it's also a celebration with clearly a lot of love and effort put into it, and the songs and musical numbers are all memorable and written by the legendary Alan Menkin. It follows the Mel Brooks rule of "you have to love what you're parodying." Wish on the other hand felt soulless and half-assed. The story and songs felt like they were written by A.I and everything else was *insert past reference here* and *insert pop song there.* And the worst part of it all is that if you saw the original concept, you realize it could've been great.

They should just rerelease enchanted, call it a belated anniversary present

Because Hybrid 2D And 3D, Basically 2.5D

I’d argue that this movie was geared EXACTLY towards adults. Specifically adults blinded by nostalgia and adults who love the classic movies. All of the cut-content, the egregious amount of Easter eggs, the promise of a straight up evil villain, and obviously this movie commemorating the anniversary suggest they were trying to attract those specific groups. They wouldn’t had bothered with all of this if it was just a kids movie.

'Why are adults watching this when this movie is clearly targetted at nostalgia ridden adults????'

What always bothers me when I see people say “why are you being so critical of something made for kids” is like you went and looked at someone’s review and or critique of a kids movie no one‘s forcing you to look at that

Also kids deserve watching quality stuff too!

​​​​@@nikguimont8546I think they're expecting kids to give a review of a so-claimed 'kids media', yet they don't know not all kids have access to the internet... Unless if it's something like internet kids. Also the 'it's a kids (insert any media here)' argument is getting old and weak counter argument. And as someone pointed out, Disney movies and other animated movies are not actually intended to have kids audience only, *_but a family movie! The whole family!_* (minus the adults only animated series) It's really baffling to see how Belis has such narrow minded thinking like that.

Except without the charm, heart, or liability

Don't insult bowler hat Guy is funny charming sympathetic everything Disney isn't

The creators working on the film must have done that on purpose as a subtle diss aimed at Disney executives and I applaud them for it 👏

Wish's message: "JuSt KeEp WiShing!"

EXACTLY

Also, Disney films have never been for kids and only for kids. They are *family* movies, aka enjoyable for all audiences. And Wish clearly failed at appealing to its whole audience.

@@ryckhpae so true! i also hate the idea that because "it's made for kids" that it can't be a good movie or good piece of media. kids aren't stupid and people forget they're intelligent too and can understand when something is half-baked or not good

@@Hibgiddty Exactly! I hate that excuse too.

"Its a kids movie" is just the weakest argument in the world, and its also just _insulting_ to kids. Like, do kids not deserve to watch GOOD movies too? They're in the formative years, why should they have to watch garbage?

this is an anniversary movie. It references things over the span of 100 years. You stop being a child at 18. If it references things made before 2005, it's referencing media within the childhoods of people who are now adults. So the people most likely to know of and engage with those references would be adults. Therefore, this movie was made understanding it would be watched by adults. I don't think that argument ever holds water, but if ever there was a place to take a stand with it, it isn't on the 100 year anniversary movie.

I like the version where the king is a demon lord who has figured out how to extract desires and consume them, and moved in to a town and completely excised many vices and compulsions from the population, by consuming those desires.

​Damnmmmmn you could go to so many routes with that. Do they remain evil and continue feeding on their vices and desires purely because of power and they use the citizens' gratitude as a shield to prosecutors that try to expose them? Do they slowly get a change of heart because of how grateful the community is to them and then genuinely wants to help them? People weren't kidding when they said literally anything else is better than whatever Wish was lol

amazing

Oh, & just like Wish's scrapped concepts, the "How Bad Can I Be?" song in the Lorax replaced a scrapped song called "Biggering", an amazing song.

​@@sleepylionking1103 compared to other Disney movies, as something that supposed to represent all of them, Its definitely that bad

It feels like a long time ago to me

​@@sleepylionking1103 the art direction is bad, bland colors (not to mention why they didnt pay homage to their 2d animation by making it so, probably to try and ignore it after they killed it off with the deliberately shit marketing of The princess and the frog). Plus excpetionally bad songs (not even by disney standards), bad plot, bad character designs + useless ones along with incompetent storytelling. Doesnt help that the main character is an overly 'quirky princess' type, you wouldve thought they'd nailed her considering the 100 ones that came before her but shes bad. It really is just 100 years of cameos stuck together with some duct tape and a wish

​@@sleepylionking1103 "Here I are"

This is infuriating honestly, because Disney always place itself at the top of animated movies, and yet, Dreamworks has also made some gorgeous, funny, beloved movies, and they are still trying differents things animation-wise, and they're a way smaller company, while Disney is LOADED and yet they just gave up on creativity. Like, they have the money and the means, they totally COULD make an amazing movie like Puss in Boots 2 or even something like the Spiderverse movies from Sony, they just don't want to!

@@LeoDBW I couldn't agree more, my friend! It's like you took my words and typed them. I feel the same way, DreamWorks is way better of a company. Disney is and has always been so overrated. I love DreamWorks, but I love other animated company movies too (Aardman is one I really love in particular, that worked with DreamWorks to make Chicken Run, which is my favorite DreamWorks movie)

Disney shouldve taken notes from the success of The Last Wish, but they still keep failing so hard

The title alone sounds better. The Glory I Deserve sounds like the title to a song Jafar or Scar would sing.

Surely tell us the lyrics

@@rdxdd of course. This is copy pasted directly from the chat (Verse 1) In the shadows I’ve been dwelling, While those fools steal all the praise, I’m the mastermind, the genius, But they give me no displays. They laugh and cheer for heroes, While my brilliance goes unseen, I’m the one who pulls the strings here, Yet they treat me so obscene. (Chorus) Oh, the glory I deserve, Is a crown and throne of gold, For my cunning and my vision, In the stories yet untold. They'll see the truth, they'll see the light, When I rise above the fray, For the glory I deserve, I will seize it all today. (Verse 2) In the darkness, I have plotted, Every scheme so grand and bold, But they only see the surface, Of the tales that I unfold. Their applause is misdirected, To the ones who play it safe, I’m the architect of chaos, And the world I’ll soon reshape. (Chorus) Oh, the glory I deserve, Is a crown and throne of gold, For my cunning and my vision, In the stories yet untold. They'll see the truth, they'll see the light, When I rise above the fray, For the glory I deserve, I will seize it all today. (Bridge) When the curtains fall, and they see it all, They’ll bow to my command, For the puppet master’s victory, Is a fate they’ll understand. (Chorus) Oh, the glory I deserve, Is a crown and throne of gold, For my cunning and my vision, In the stories yet untold. They'll see the truth, they'll see the light, When I rise above the fray, For the glory I deserve, I will seize it all today. (Outro) Yes, the glory I deserve, In the end, it will be mine, For the world will see my brilliance, And they'll know I am divine.

BRO TELL US THE LYRICS PLEASE 🙏 🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭😭

Asha is a horrible person, and it shows

I now want the movie to have this plot: Asha, in a burst of careless chaos, tries to figure out how to grant wishes herself. She takes an innocent-looking wish and grants it. However, the wish turned the wisher into an absolutely reprehensible villain. Asha has character growth, realizing that Magnifico protected her so well, she couldn't conceive of any bad outcomes. She sets off to extract the wish from the new villain, unsure if it can even be done... Thanks for the plot bunnies!

you gotta watch it on a higher resolution. the texture changes it

💀

💀

Yeah me too

Is it in the same failure-aisle as James Cameron Avatar merch? Heard that stuff got discounted *fast*

I often see Wish merch on sale for 30% off at the Disney Store in NYC. That place NEVER puts anything on sale.

LITERALLY like if that isn't the biggest tell for how bad this movie capital f Flopped. Those sections are always ravaged, maybe one little plush left knocked over. Everytime I go to the toy section, Wish's merch looks like the staff set it up once and haven't touched it since

Exactly! And I work there, so I see the wish stuff every single weekend, taking up an entire shelf. It’s been there since the film came out.

Yes. That short was infinitely better than Wish in every way

I actually cried while watching it like i love Oswald the lucky rabbit SO MUCH and i got so happy to see him have that small interaction with Mickey

When I heard the first notes of “Feed the Birds” and Mickey looked up at Walt, that was the fastest I’ve ever cried. Insta-tears rolling down my cheeks. THAT was an honorable tribute to Disney.

Wait, really?

That was a thing!???

And instead we got Buck Cluck

@@deen7530and aliens

Disney try to not make a character with 1 or both parents missing(potentially dead) challenge(impossible)

Right?! That's been the thing that's been bugging me about the debate on if Asha or Magifico were right. Their points really don't matter within the movie because Rosas is just a generic utopia, and the city seems practically the same whether or not the people's wishes are granted

why did they frame him like this when he's literally right?! just make him the hero why is that so hard Disney.

Magnifico's logic: "Lets not grant potentially harmful wishes and let them forget so they don't try to carry it out themselves" Asha's logic: "Let's grant their wishes and only stop them if it's dangerous, you know instead of preventing it in the first palce"

There should absolutely have been bad wishes present for Asha to stumble upon. Granted that "bad" can occasionally be subjective- like wishing for oneself to never feel pain may not seem too bad to the person who wished it but might cause future problems- but you can't tell me no one in Rosas has ever had bad thoughts, enough to make it into wishes. Not a single person in Rosas wishing to be with someone against their will? Wanting to be the ONLY person good at something? Maybe a little bit of narcissistic greed? C'mon now. You wouldn't JUST move to Rosas to try and get pure-hearted wishes granted; you go to Rosas because you want a wish you never can or never wish to fulfill yourself. Trying to push the agenda that only VERY specific people have bad and selfish wishes is one of many bad messages this movie has.

@@eaglefan2569 I hope this was done on purpose to show kids in a sequel what it means to take down a country because you think you know everything. And teach Asha what it means to stumble upon REAL bad people.

Agreed! I was never a Disney kid, but I'm one of those "adults who never grew up" because I do like childish things, I just never cared for Disney that much, other than going through a Frozen phase when I was like 11-12

Disney: I'll kidnap a thousand [disabled characters from the drawing board] before I let this company die!

I think he was supposed to be mute

HERO

The prophecy became true with this one

Take a breather for a second on that one, because it's the _attitude of entitlement_ that's reinforced upon the repetition of the concept. The _superiority complex_ is the point. That he feels _deserving_ of collecting something from them, even for while and why he _doesn't_ overtly demand something from them that society and the law would _otherwise see him in the _*_right_*_ for having had done,_ and that _he himself likely _*_could_*_ do without significant repercussions._

I mean there's other expenses for living in a place besides rent/mortgage/property tax. Utilities, food and other consumables, maintenance, and insurance, just to name a few. I agree It's a bit odd to phrase it that way, but, it's not nonsensical

And i applaud them

“Other” peploe who think the same tiwards a “certain” character from a “ceartain” “other” tv show: 😮

That's actually sad :,(

"At All Costs" is definitely the best song from the movie, and I much prefer the demo version that uses "Love" instead of "Promise". It's a big shame that one of Disney's most romantic, beautiful musical numbers got wasted on this garbage ):

I was enjoying their downfall LOL I heard Inside Out 2 really brought them back up tho (at least Inside Out 2 was more enjoyable tho)

I love Mickey Mouse but i hate Disney like im glad a part of Mickey is free from that ugly company, i hope that he finds a place where his true potential is explored like what Epic Mickey did

SAME LMFAOOOO

I'm glad another person said the king was a tumblr sexyman..... I thought so when I first saw the character but didn't want to cause drama.

Half the comments are just ppl simping for magnifico😭 He's not low standard tho

What is a tumblr sexy man anyways?

Yeah I thought that too whenever I saw the teaser but then I actually watched the movie and was like.... yeah thats the guy. The wolf guy from puss in boots is better

I agree with you! But I also wanna mention two things for more context: About 1: yep, plenty of them actually touch some of the themes way better (and they're more than 1 bc they went and made Wish's message be ambiguous and vague af, another writing fail). The 2 who touch the most similar thematics are Enchanted and Princess and the Frog, both also have a Cynical vs Idealistic debate in the main characters, just like Wish does (difference being again that Wish does it terribly, painting idealism as the ONLY right point of view and cynicism as a mindset only _e v i l_ people have) In regards of 2: to be fair, the writers did have great ideas, and had already written most, if not the entire movie, before executive meddling did what it usually does and threw everything to the trash at last minute, forcing writers to create an entirely new story that followed all their unreasonable demands within an even shorter deadline. Same happened with the songs, there's been pop artists writing for Disney movies before, and they were never bad at it, not at all, much less THIS bad. To be fair to Julia Michaels, she was given extremely little time (iirc, 2 weeks) and little to no info about the movie's plot, themes, elements, characters, or anything, all of the songs were released almost exactly as they were in their rough draft/prototype versions, which in any normal production is an absolute no-no. All in all, it seems Disney set themselves up for failure. At this rate, I would 100% believe if someone told me the executives over there have some sort of money/prestige-losing fetish or something, what with how jolly they act about making absolute garbage that they already know won't get them much fans adoration nor money all the time.

And by drugs they were probably on pixie dust, the bad kind

Dude Hearing someone say lalaloopsy again just gave me whiplash I forgot all about it but i was obsessed with it as a kid

Walt disney is shaking in his cryochamber.

People don't understand the difference between a "Kids movie" (usually aimed at toddlers to 6 year olds) and a "family movie" which is what Disney makes. Family movies are supposed to work for all ages.

I feel like they marketed more towards the Disney adults who were obsessed with the old movies they watched a s a kid and still don't realize what's wrong with some of them

Ugh, they HAD to remind us that Chicken Little exists...

@@amandamakin1542Speaking of which, my personal theory on the scathing hate against Wish is that it has mostly stemmed from millennials who easily see the hand-drawn medium through rose-colored glasses and often associate that particular medium with the ones they grew up with, which are most notably the Disney classics, the Disney Renaissance, and the 80s Don Bluth films. That particular generation must’ve been what most of Princess and the Frog’s revenue was presumably garnered from.

@@SaraHouck461 kinda, most people agree that most pre-renaissance movies kind of sucked for most, so it's not really 2d = good but 3d = bad, but it's also the fact this movie was hypes up has an homage to those renaissance movies. At least Princess and the frog had the charm of a renaissance movie, à great villain, good music, Lively world

Why did they remember dinosaur? The whole “film” was just WALKING

@Chaki21 Apparently the suits at Disney were under the impression that having the word "princess" in the title made it seem like it was for a female audience, which was the same for the 2011 in which they thought it was for a preschool audience, hence the reason why their Rapunzel and Snow Queen adaptations are now under the Tangled and Frozen monikers respectively, the latter of which became their feature animation division's first juggernaut of a success since The Lion King.

Here we are was *right there*

Who the hell has been around for 100 years

This movie had the nerve to put Chicken Little in the credits, too as one of the constellations.

I don't mind Chicken Little honestly, but I agree there are worse Disney movies than this. Tbh, the ones I have the biggest issues with are Peter Pan, Snow white, and Little Mermaid, I don't think they aged well

REAL

FR but they wldve probably made varian and Hugo long lost siblings or something

what's that?

Yes! They should’ve greenlit Vat7K, though I think everybody else already made Vat7K already.

@@lucas-hw6jm Varian and the Seven Kingdoms was a concept for a Tangeled the Series sequel series following Varian and a few other characters going on a quest to find a library with infinite knowledge (I think?). The series was never green lit but there’s a fic on AO3 that’s the same idea.

Same tbh

He's fine af and also intelligent, his wife couldn't even see that. He deserved a better woman.

The big difference though is that in Paper Mario, the Star Spirits clearly state that they sometimes get some horrible and selfish wishes that are never granted for obvious reasons, and that's why Bowser stole the Star Rod because he was angry that his wishes to kill Mario and his wishes to make Princess Peach love him were being ungranted. But in Wish, the movie's lesson is "everyone deserves to have their wishes granted!"

They are also very paper thin

crazy that a game about _literal_ paper-thin characters STILL managed to do the plot better more than 20 years prior.

Exactly! You doi have good points, I wouldn't exactly call Rapunzel quirky, but she's got a cute personality. However, Asha is a teen and we can't make teen characters like the "sit still, look pretty" princesses from the old movies like Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. And they didn't want Asha to be a tough tomboy like Merida and Moana, so they were kind of running out of ideas?

@@jocelynecupcake I honestly really wish (pun intended) that they gave Asha a blunt, no-nonsense personality because we’ve never really seen that in any of the princesses before

Agreed. It's not even that romance stories are superior or anything. But the final product barely compensates for the change in direction and instead just makes itself a shell of its previous concept.

Music was good too. Into the Unknown and Show Yourself are fantastic numbers and the continuous melodic through-line in all the songs is simple but brilliant. They were clearly trying to outdo the first movie in that regard, and the effort shows.
