Selena Gomez’s acting when Alex breaks down crying after Justin forgets her is one of the best acting performances in the history of Disney Channel and I’ll forever stand by that fact 🤭

Younger me thought this was the most phenomenal acting ever. I had a clinical emotional breakdown because I was so moved, lol it was just the childhood trauma.

this movie made my life take a 180 turn as a younger sibling, like i even started being nicer to my brother, thats how impactful this was for me at such a young age 😭

This movie should've won best visual effects at the oscars

this movie is literally a cinematic masterpiece and nobody can tell me otherwise

after that movie, you could tell that in s3 and 4 they try to insert as many emotional justin and alex scenes as they can because they saw how good it was in the movie

I will Never recover from watching them all forget her for the first time.

I think what you're missing from all the spells is they allfollow the standard, "The words don't matter, the INTENT does." That you see in a lot of magic stories. They all work because they MEANT it.

i think this is one of the best tv series movies disney ever made. I do wish there was a bit more of an explanation for certain things and it always drove me nuts that the actual show would never mention things that happened in the movie but other than that, 10/10 in my book

i love a lot of react channels but having gen z reacting to gen z childhood movies is superior thank u trin

The reason it worked even though it wasn’t actually a spell is because her intent, her emotions, forced it to work. Magic isn’t about the words, it’s about the feelings, the thoughts, and what you want to happen with it. If the words really mattered, they wouldn’t be able to change spells or even make them up as easily as they do

this movie was filmed here in Puerto Rico, but when I was being filmed I was out of the country, when I found out my heart shattered into a million pieces, not exaggerating at all I cried for 3 full days that I did get to meet Selena

This commentary was honestly something I didn’t expect

The way I interpreted how the WOWP spells worked was a combination of the words used and your intention/focus. Justin was the most intentional/focused, so his spells would work as he intended them too. Alex was less focused, which is why she’s yield different results even if she said the exact same spell as Justin. And we’d see that when she was in a pinch and actually focused, her spells would work without any negative side effects.

The scene where there under the blankets and Alex is reading the spell book glowing iconic and Justin with the wand was so cool to me as a kid ❤

This movie, The Hannah Montana Movie, and Starstruck literally changed my little kid life when they aired. I really thought I would have such a complex teenage hood bc of those movies.

Selena deserves an oscar for this! jm not even joking

there’s a whole episode about being able to create your own spells as long as they rhyme but to be careful cus they’re literal. it’s the horror movie one where selena and justin get stuck in the movie

i remember the day this movie premiered on the disney channel me and my family went out and i made my parents promise me that we'll be back by 8pm so i could watch it but we ended up coming back home pretty late so i cried all night and that's how my trust issues were born

In my head, the spell rhymes, gestures, and wands are just tools to focus their intention on a specific result. Magic is a force, they're born with the ability to access it, but they have to learn to gather the magical energy, hold it, and shape it. Each one might have different aptitudes for gathering, holding, or shaping.

I like how in the actual Wizard competition at the end of the series, they kept the purple suits but just had them run through what was basically a haunted house. Major downgrade lol

This was definitely one of my fave tv shows turned movies! I thought the ending where Justin forgets Alex was the most traumatizing thing ever when I was younger 😭

Ive been waiting for this for years.. nonironically my favorite movie of all time. The 2010's family vacation vibes make me so nostalgic

When I tell you Alex becoming the family wizard was the biggest even of my 9 year old life! This is cinema.

Disney is literally my whole life! I literally loved Wizards of Waverly Place and hopefully this movie is still as great as I remember it to be.

Keyan Charlie does a whole two-video retrospective on Wizards of Waverly Place and it's honestly so eye opening. It shows just how much they really didn't keep consistency with the rules of magic and even the movie has it's own plot holes when it comes to how magic is done. I still love the series and I hope it one day gets a revival like ICarly though.

What I've gathered since childhood was Justin was definitely the most technical skilled wizard of the siblings, Alex was the most Natural she was always using magic so everything came easy to her, Max was overlooked as the most creative with his spell casting he always did things the others would never think of. So each of them all had their own strengths with very situational magic.

literally Alex crying in this movie, and in the show when she broke up with Mason hurt my heart so much and made me bawl my eyes out every time.

I always challenge myself to not cry everytime I watch this movie. I've never accomplished.

This was honestly one of the best Disney channel original movies 🤭 it was always my favourite 💅

Harpers actor said how she was told by her own church to drop the role in this iconic show bc it was “wicked”, which made me appreciate her character more bc lets be honest it wouldn’t be as good without her in the show

I could be wrong, but I believe the reason they use a wand is to increase precision and make the spell stronger. The same is true for spell wording; for example, a simple spell like when Justin helped Alex out of the bag could be done in a variety of ways because the simple goal is to get her out of the bag, but a more difficult spell would necessitate more specific wording. That is why they would need to remember certain more difficult spells. I'm not sure if this is a bad analogy, but it's similar to when we do math problems. If the math problem is relatively simple or we have a lot of experience solving similar problems, we can use a variety of methods that work for us; however, if the problem is more complex, we must use a specific method/formula to solve it correctly. This is all just my opinion, I could be completely wrong.

The way this movie is so good and makes me almost cry genuine tears is insane.

They legit never did explain the magic thing though. There are some scenes that they clearly study spells that are unchangable (like the one with the bunny in the first episode), but can be applied to different situations, but still we don’t ever really learn how extendable that is. It does leave more room for interpretation though differently than other wizard movies like harry potter - in WoWP people create spells by making rhymes, in hp we never discover how they do that!

It's the way Trin knew I've been craving another vid, ALL DAY I've been rewatching her old ones !!

the magic system literally changed every episode don’t think about it too much 😂

watching this movie is literally one of my core memories 😭 sometimes i'll still just randomly remember it and get a huge hit of nostalgia

i had to beg my parents to let me skip my sisters graduation to watch this movie and it was worth it

The wands are kinda like a training wheel that focuses their magic. They don't need them per se but it's kind of like a conductor like how electricity needs to go through a wire

we love when trin reviews the classics ❤❤

Trin really be giving such in-depth and hilarious commentary like no one else and I'm HERE FOR IT ❤

omg you just brought back so many of my childhood memories!! It was definitely my favorite Disney movie based on a series growing up

older disney channel movies are top tier and this movie literally made me cry like why was it so emotional?? i always have to say i love the feeling lemonade mouth and starstruck give me (probably because the music is so GOLDEN)

In terms of the spells, I honestly feel like it doesn’t even matter what they say as long as the intent is there. We’ve seen them make up spells, change spells, use magic silently… and the the quality of the magic doesn’t change. They always get the result they want unless they’re distracted or something

Watching the premieres of the Disney Channel original movies were such a moment like you had to be there, you couldn't miss it

Thank you Trin for this video cause now i'm rewatching the show ♥

ahh so excited! also your bangs look too good in this video 🧡

I loved this movie sm it’s so nostalgic for me cause the show was one of my favorites growing up and ignited my love for Selena Gomez she was my childhood crush growing up.

Trinity you're literally an angel, love to watch your vids, you always gives me so much joy❤ love u 🎉

the magic in this show is literally what works for the plot. like sometimes they'll use a spell when they already introduced another spell before that could solve the situation way easier

I saw this movie opening night. So many tv shows made movies (Phineas and Ferb, Lizzie Mcguire, Even Stevens, Good Luck Charlie) are all sooo good it’s hard to pick a favorite

just realized i’ve been watching this for 4 years, love your vids sm babe 💞💞

this was everything i needed and more! i never thought about the spells that way glad someone is asking the important questions

i remember watching this movie as a kid and bawling so hard

I’ve been waiting for this on YES ❤

omg a cute video to end my day ty trin!!!!

this isn't Disney but Rags was literally my favorite movie ever when I was like 10 but no one remembers it!!! the soundtrack is still on my playlist

i love you sm trin

It is so crazy that I recently rewatched this on Disney plus and now you’re doing a commentary on it 😝

You have made so many valid points about the spells 😂 really tho stuff I tried to figure out and I always knew to that Alex was gonna be the family wizard ❤

i love watching your commentary’s during my government class

i love the music at the start of this video

I think there was an episode within the first or second season where Jerry teaches them about spell improvisation. Essentially altering a spell for a specific action or request. And I think the wands are initially used to focus the magic for the wizard in use, eventually I guess they do not need to use them but still do for pizzazz or for stronger spells.

your whole set up and editing rn is actually insane and I hope you know that

This was the shit so many memories. Btw your energy is everything 😂

Trin, please do a tour of your gallery wall. I’m obsessed

I love this movie it’s one of my favorite Disney channel original movies the acting Selena does in the end when Justin forgets her always gets me even when I was a kid it had me about to cry

I adored this movie and the tv show so much but i defo recommend listening to the wizard of waverly pod podcast, they talk about how different the team behind the movie was from the show

Your editing has gotten so good! Been subscribed for a year and I love all your videos, have a great day!

i always rewatch your hannah montana the movie reaction another comfort video i can rewatch 100 times from you :)

oml i remember watching this movie like six times as a kid and sobbing EVERYTIME 😭

I never had access to anything other than freeview channels growing up (UK so think like CITV and CBBC), so I never watched this show because I didn't have Sky or Disney channel or anything. Makes these videos totally wild to me. Your commentary makes it so entertaining and I'm kinda glad I get to experience it like this instead. Having zero context is so funny

so excited to watch this, this is my favorite disney channel show movie (besides good luck charlie its christmas). Bangs are looking beautiful might I add!

I remember being OBSESSED with this movie when it came out (in hindsight, I had a very intense crush in Selena Gomez and just didn't know it yet lmao so that might've played a role into my love for the show and this movie)!!! Also, in terms of the one Disney Channel Original Movie that I love the most, I have to say Lemonade Mouth : I don't even think it's anything to do with the quality of the movie itself, cause there are quite q few Disney Channel movies that I LOVE and can't really rank, but this one just genuinely shaped me when I was a kid; I'm pretty sure it was one of the first pieces of media that gave me that first spark of "oh, I could actually make music and get somewhere if I work for it hard enough!" (Obviously it's not a realistic movie, but I remember it making me feel unstoppable)! That and it also made me fall in love with Bridgit Mendler's voice and her first album (Hello my name is...) was the first CD I bought for myself and i still love it and think it's really good to this day🥹🥹

Yas!!!! Thank u my lovely Trin

starstruck will always be my fav disney channel original movie like no one was doing the enemies to lover like that and the SOUNDTRACK 🛐

Your video helps me a lot so thank you ❤

This movie absolutely obliterated me as a child, especially the scene with Alex crying when her brothers disappeared. I would picture myself in her place with my brother and sister disappearing and it'd make me sob every time. Top tier movie right there, I unironically still love it

i loved this movie growing up . the scene where alex is crying shook me every time.

you’re so real for this

I love your videos so much you are so funny and so entertaining to watch

Hands down my favorite dcom is The Color of Friendship. It tackles a serious issue but still retains its Disney Channel charm.

Yess I honestly didn’t expect this esp with the quality and everything but I still have it on DVD and it never gets old, I love it sm❤ literally my fav show on Disney and it is pretty sad, idk if the movie is sadder or the finale but the show having to come to an end made me sad fs

growing up I LOVED wizards of waverly place especially because like alex I have an older and a younger brother and we all have similar personalities like the ones on the show. I still cry at the scene of alex forgetting her brothers even as an adult

for the type of spells they can do, they can basically do anything. I forgot what it’s called but basically while they are training, they practice specific spells but once they reach a certain level, they do those type of spells where they basically kinda make it up. there’s still restrictions but yeah

Thx for this entertainment trin

Wizards of Waverly Place is one of my favorite TV Shows from my Childhood & the movie is just as phenomenal as the show. Also, my favorite Disney Channel Original Movie is How to Build a Better Boy (2014).

love u trin🥰

this movie was my childhood 😭 back when disney channel movies were actually good, im glad people still remember this movie

Omg I’ve been wanting u to do wizards movie I hope u do a watching lowest rate and highest rated episodes for the show

This is the most iconic and sad movie ever

I loved this movie as a child and I still love it now. I’ve watched it multiple times after getting Disney+

spells are really about intent and how much emotion/truth you put into it which is why alex’s spell worked and was so hard to break :)

When I tell you I was SOBBING watching this movie when I was 8 years old

I'm sobbing it hit me just so hard 😪

this is something i didn’t know i wanted but i definitely needed

I remember this being on disney channel whenever I went to my childhood friend's house. And you already know we watched it every time. I don't even have siblings and I still cry thinking about Justin forgetting Alex.

this movie is one of the best pieces of cinema to ever be released

You should do spring breakers next that’s underrated and iconic I hate how some people don’t understand the message of the movie 😢
