Hey, Steller here! It made my day reading through all your kind words. I am so happy to be working with Pixel Playhouse and you will be seeing me again! This full song will be available on me (Grant Steller) and Caleb Hyles spotify soon, it would mean the world if I could earn your support. I just wanted to clear up that arranging the song in the four distinct (and perhaps jarringly) different villians styles was intentional! I was aiming to explore how 4 of disneys best villains would behave in Magnifico's situation, and that meant changing everything! No shortcuts. Which villains rendition did you like the most?

“Complaining about your living but you’re living with out rent” is SOOOO MUCH BETTER than the original. Holy cow

At this point, I say we all team up to remake Wish.

the song writer was actually a pop song writer and they didn't even tell her what the movie was about

The fact that "This is the Thanks I Get?" sounds closer to "You're Welcome" than an actual Disney villain song says a lot about where they went wrong

Something that irritates me greatly; Magnifico could've been our entrance into grey Disney villains, not pure evil like the classic ones. I didn't want a villain who's evil for no reason; I wanted a villain who believed they were right and made a real point.

Honestly having nods to villain songs would have made such a good tribute to Disney like wish was supposed to be

He's not even a villain. He's just a mere man that did so much and his entitled people took him for granted. So much to the point that he finally snapped.

Magnifico honestly comes off more as a father tired of being disrespected and taken for granted rather than an actual villain.

How did you turn that commercial jingle into something GREAT and TERRIFYING like this?! I love this new version!! And Caleb’s vocals made it even better!!!

Huge thanks for having me!! Any chance I get to be THIS theatrical, I'm taking lol You absolutely nailed every creative decision 👏

You know, if I had a nickel for every time someone wrote a proper villain song for Wish where King Magnifico's lines are sung by Caleb Hyles, I'd have two nickels . . .I know that's not a lot, but it's weird that there's two of them.

I legit squealed at the part when he goes ‘all i asked for is some respect’. It define gave me proper Charismatic Villain vibes!!!

The remake of this villain song is more entertainning than the actual movie💀.

He had ALOT of fun singing that

I could see this being like a sequence of reprises throughout the movie paying homage to the Disney villain songs….Linda like how the entire movie was paying homage to Disney movies

From Facilier and Ursula's manipulation to Scar's mask-off evil king mode and Frollo's "I'm better than all of you" attitude.

The line “surround yourself with yeses and you’ll never hear a no” GOES SO HARDDDDDD

I will say I do love the rewrite idea. Thinking back on when I heard the song, while it is alright, hearing it more as a pop song would make it less villain-y. Plus, using other villain versions it a great inspiration and it keeps the title well. Plus, it has that "Easter Egg" feel. My only critique would be that it would feel too much and different theming mushed together, but if was worked on more, then I bet it would be amazing to hear again.

I will agree that the four main inspirations, while they sound fantastic, are a little *too* different; this is where you’d want to add in some of Wish’s own identity (if it had one >.>) to really glue it all together into a song that both pays homage to the old classics and stands on its own. At least, that’s how I see it. Safe to say, though, this almost made me wanna watch Wish. Until I remembered what the film was and became a little sad. Amazing rendition! Edit: also also, 5:48 I just relistened to this and “I forgave, not forgot” is SUCH A GOOD LINE FOR THE FILM OMG

I do love all of the versions, and I would enjoy a full version of each of them even more! Since all of them sound really different, putting all of those parts in the same music would sound a bit odd, unless each part were spread across the movie, then it would truly make sense! I do miss the mention of the book because it was the only character trait we got from the music aside from "I'm a king and do king stuff but with wishing power" (miraculously tbh). Having all of this aside, I would LOVE to hear a full "This is the thanks I get" in the Hunchback of Notredame style with this wonderful and dramatic instrumental alongside Caleb's beautiful voice! You guys did such a great job

My headcannon was that Magnifico was supposed to capitalize on people's dreams, but midway through production they realized they were just critizinsing themselves and tossed that concept appart for what we got.

That's so wonderful! The mashup of all the past villain songs is so clever, and the lyrics actually fit the rhythm and make him seem like a villain! Thank you for making him a proper villain, because he was NOT a villain in the movie. Not truly, anyway! Keep up the great work!

"I forgave, not forgot" 😮😮😮 Caleb's voice was perfect for this line, so dark and devious, I love that it gives a background to the King's thoughts about what happened to his home. I do wish that was more explored in the movie!!

I can imagine the visuals for this already. Him using his powers to emulate the vibe of the scenery of these other villains' songs while he uses their style. Maybe a few dolls and skulls for Dr. Facilier, Bubbles/making a potion for Ursula, Green flames and steam for Scar, and those flames turn into red hell fire for Frollo. He can pull down wishes with references to individual lines, like an Aladdin wish for that genuflect line.

THE VOCAL RANGE OH MY GOD?!

I would like to see original villain song in his character that would sound like real villain. But this tribute to past villains in their styles is still epic and enough of substitute for that ♥

Especially good job replicating the Ursula vibe! Caleb is obviously having a ball and giving an engaging, entertaining performance. Really liked the line and delivery for, "I forgave, not forgot" !

Wow... I can clearly see Magnifico (as he should have been) belting it out at the top of his tower! And the Frollo part makes for a grand reprise when he finally goes full villain mode!!! So... how are you so much better than Disney, again? Not evil magic, I hope? :)

I have no words for how amazing this is. Such marvelous job and a powerful voice! I don't know much about songwriting but this sounds shockingly better.

You and Jonah give Wish the sound it deserved as a 100 year celebration 🙌 Love this reimagined tone in classic styles and Jonah’s rewrite while keeping the tone of the song

I honestly *really* love the notion of a villain song that is essentially the hero being the catalyst for the face heel turn. Like "are you kidding me?! You know what? I'm sick of you people! Without me you'd all be nothing, _and it's about time I reminded you!"_

5:21 “Surround yourself with yesses, and you’ll never hear a no” is such a good lyric

At first the Wish song rewrites were spaced 7 weeks apart, then 5, then 27 days. Within two weeks we could be witnessing a full fan-made reboot of a Disney film.

The fact this immediately got me singing along and hits harder than the movie could EVER

Holy mackerel….. I haven’t had that much fun listening to a theatre song in a long time…. Wow, just wow

the chills i got were craazzy

Forget Wish's og songwriters, they should just hire you. I'll be honest i didn't expect your remake to be that good

i need animated version!!

If Wish becomes a musical, this is the version we’re giving to Disney! This actually screams “Happy 100 Years, Villains! Keep on making distress and trouble!”

Can I just say, not only is this song way more iconic and classically Disney, the fact it does segments that call back to the styles of prior villains would probably actually accomplish the 100 year anniversary references they were trying to pull off in Wish. And it's in a way that gives it meaning and uniqueness as opposed to being lazy and half-thought out like the movie/music we got. Well done

The rewrite is very good! But it does sound like 4 different songs combined together

Why is this like 1000% so much than the original Disney “this is what I get song” XD good job! It feels so much more vibrant and story filled I am so going to send this to one of my friends xD

i love how expressive caleb is while singing!!! it really does help his singing have more emotion

I think all four versions are awesome and would love to hear each one as their own full version

i really love the idea o mashing 4 different styles in it especially knowing wish was supposed to be a celebration of disney movies, it feels like a clever way to reference old movies, on top of sounding great

the melody is so much better now, it actually portrays magnifico's bitterness and rage in a way that isn't absolute cringe.

I'm obsessed with the Ursula inspired section. It's all phenomenal but that part in particular, amazing

After listening one thing that stood put to me was the emotion. The original singing isn't emotionally emphasized, it just sounds like someone complaining in the snack room of their office job. The remake you did emphasized anger, woe, and spite-- which showed what the character was being driven by. The original sounds petty and immafure while this one sounds like a significant development of character that's going to change the course of the story.

Rescoring and rewritting Wish's songs should count as an assignment in film music related courses

THERE Disney! Was that really so hard? You nailed it, this is perfect! I've already listened to this three times!

Scar sounds like the main theme everyone remembers while frollos sounds like the reprise that begins the third act

I'm genuinely flabbergasted how you were able to keep anything from the original and have it sound this spectacular and villainous. Caleb fuckin' killed it too, I especially liked the mermaid/hunchback inspired parts. You guys did a great job. A movie that pays tribute to Disney's tapestry of movie history has such potential in concept, my main concern when hearing all the "Wish is supposed to be a tribute" marketing was that it would feel too derivative. Instead it managed to disappoint in countless other surprising ways. It's nice to see some people picking up on all that lost potential musically. It's the same as with the visuals, they have so much history to draw from. Anything from the whimsical storybook style of Snow White or Pinnochio, or Eyvind Earle-style graphic landscapes of the 50s, all the way through to the well-rendered but fantastical sets of their renaissance movies and beyond. And what we got clearly showed some effort, especially the pre-vis art, but for the most part just ended up looking like the same thing we've been seeing since Tangled but flatter. But as a visual artist, I'd still say it was more disappointing musically than visually, even if it was kind of mediocre across the board.

The lyric update alone gave me life. The Dr. Facilier vibe was my favorite and I could definitely see that one suiting Chris Pine's vocals a lot more. Caleb was hitting those notes though! Go off, king!!! ❤️

"I forgave, not forgot" is such a cold line

Man, that Scar part served a perfect Javert!!!

The good part about Wish not being good, is amazing things like this happening! This is SO cool !!

What I like about this is that it incorporates the themes of many OTHER famous Disney villain songs. Which is probably what Wish, as the 100 year celebration movie, should've done!

I don't mind the pop so long as there is some good lyric work behind it. "You'll Be Back" from Hamilton is a pop song, but the lyric work makes it clear that it's meant to be a song about a mad stalker. The problem is that Wish's lyric work needs improvement.

I HEARD CALEB HYLES AND I STARTED SCREAMING HE ATE

We just need a good budget, some indie animators, and we're rewriting this movie

This is actually so amazing! Caleb’s voice is stunning and so are the lyrics and everything else!! If I were to see this in a movie, I would not blink an eye! Now, take this with a grain of salt, since I’m not a composer, but I think the transitions could be a bit smoother? They feel a bit like three songs strung into one… (the Be Prepared and Hell Fire transition was perfect! No notes!) I would suggest either these be three reprises, (as I’ve seen someone suggest that) or maybe give it an underlying leitmotif? If there is something like that in the song, I’m very sorry to not have picked it up! Otherwise! This is amazing work! I’m gonna go check out your other videos now >:)

THAT WORKS!!! You get it. Now THAT is the essence of a Disney villain! And by making notes from the past villains would be perfect to honor the legacy.

I had a hug grin on my face listening to the different Disney villain versions of the song. Thank you for taking the time to do this!

Wow... I can see how all 4 sections could be separated by short scenes where Magnifico starts out mildly annoyed... but at the end he's full on "Oh... you think this is bad? You haven't seen nothing yet!!"

ABSOLUTELY MASTERFULLY DONE!!! Everything from the lyrics to the performance!! No words, I'm just beyond happy to see individuals, who care about music, do better than companies. SPLENDID JOB, EVERYONE 💖💖💖

NORM from Phineas & Ferb had a fantastic villain and it’s very upbeat and hilarious while still having a dark undertone. Journey Beyond Sodor is a direct to DVD release for Thomas and Friends and it also has a fantastic villain song thanks that’s also very upbeat and it even has an interesting way to show the audience who the villains are while the lead is understandably in the dark.

I love how you mixed the styles of different iconic Disney villains, as Wish is supposed to be an anniversary movie- so it totally makes sense that there’d be references to the very best the studio has made! It’s genius!!

Very impressive! Wonderful vocals and lyrics!🎉 However, this peice felt like four separate song snippets, not one completed rewrite. I'd actually like to see you explore each of the four songs that you made. For example, I'd enjoy seeing the Scar version made into a full-length musical number! It would be cool to see how the tune could build and evlove as the kings solo came to a villainous climax.😈

Facilier style reminds me of Oogie Boogie Song

I was loving it so much I replayed it and sang along Broadway style! I seriously feel like you might need a whole video with animation dedicated to the song part! It's sooo good! And the message is HERE!

The songs in Wish felt more like stuff you'd hear on the radio as you're just passing time in the car.

This is amazing! You can really feel the inspiration and care that went into creating the lyrics and the musical inspirational styles shine through. Truly great!

Could you add the line ‘I made you happy and have no regrets, yeeeeeeeeeet this is the thanks I…… get.’’ end scene.

His villain theme in the original sounds like he's the hero XD

The rewrite is such a success! And you couldn't have found a better person to sing it than Caleb Hyles 🥰

I say this as someone who enjoyed the original song fine as an energetic pop tune: This is an impressive update in a lot of areas, particularly when it comes to lyrics and instrumentation. I would say it still lacks a real character or narrative point to focus on, which is very important of any musical number, in my opinion. But if your goal was to craft a song about a petulant and insecure man getting irritated by others around him, I'd say "Well done".

THIS IS THE SONG WE NEEDED🔥🔥

This is just perfect incredible track the lyrics are just a million times better and the homages and references to previous villains make it feel like a love letter to disney’s greatest villains and a celebration of them! overall it’s a masterpiece Caleb Hyles as usual Killed it on the performance

This was an awesome find. Each section of the new song felt like it would be sung at different parts of the movie as the king slowly gets more agitated.

So there's a toxic cycle that often occurs the workplace that I think would've been PERFECT villain motivation: 1. Underlings look to leader for affirmation 2. Leader interprets this as a need for guidance 3. Leader begins more closely managing everything 4. Underlings begin resenting the leader for micromanaging everything 5. Leader begins resenting underlings for needing constant supervision If I was writing Wish, I would've used this cycle as the central conflict for the film, being the motivation for BOTH the hero and villain.

YIPPEEE A NEW SONG (REMAKE)

This is way better for a 100 anniversary since it feautres the vibe of songs from disney's past yet still maintaining a special tint with the tune and lyrics like a good song

I dare you to touch the steaming dung heap that is "I'm a Star." Triple dog dare you.

I'm so glad youtube recommended me this, this was great!! I haven't seen wish, nor do I intend to, but the bits i've heard of the original villain song just doesn't sound like one. I thought it was neat that you used different past villain songs at different parts. Now I can't wait to see someone make a fan animatic of it as well!

3:24 You're welcome

“I forgave, not forgot” goes crazy.

I think the multiple style changes in the new song make so much sense since wish was supposed to be the 100 year anniversary movie I think doing these call backs to their most famous villain songs would have been such an amazing choicr

THIS IS LITERALLY SO GOOD, WHAT

Facilier's Style was very good, But Ursula's style was just on point! Perfect. Awesome job!

This is 100 times better than everything from the final Wish product. The fact that it switches between villain styles throughput really makes the song itself feel like a celebration of some of Disney's best villain songs, which is super fitting for Disney's 100-year celebration movie. Caleb did an amazing job singing, and while it could use some small touch up here and there to make the style switches a little less jarring, in general, this is everything we should have gotten from Wish. Amazing job everyone! 👏

Omg, the song started and i already got chills, this song remake was ✨️BEAUTIFUL✨️

My personal fav is Scar's inspired part. But overall love it sooo much! Great job!

Please, PLEASE put this on Spotify

At this point, everyone needs to remake the whole movie. Everyone will be supporting it, i'm quite sure.

Scar's version was my fav honestly. Would love to hear a full version of that style

I love this, godly Only thing I think I would add is a part styled after Mother Gothel, since Tangled was Disney's first big 3D musical, and the movie is meant to be a celebration of all of Disney

DUDE!!!!!!! THIS IS AMAZING!!! My only recommendation is to smooth out the transitions of the versions, if the suddenness wasnt intended!

The line "Surround yourself with 'yes'es and you'll never hear a 'no' " caught me so off guard in the best way possible

I love the idea of the villain song paying homage to Disney’s greatest villain songs! Very fitting for a 100 year anniversary of Disney! Well done sir!!
