Wish is a 2023 American animated musical fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. It was directed by Chris Buck and Fawn Veerasunthorn (in her feature directorial debut) from a screenplay by Jennifer Lee and Allison Moore. The art style combines computer animation with the look of traditional animation. The film stars the voices of Ariana DeBose, Chris Pine, Alan Tudyk, Angelique Cabral, Victor Garber, Natasha Rothwell, Jennifer Kumiyama, Harvey Guillén, Evan Peters, Ramy Youssef, and Jon Rudnitsky. The story focuses on a 17-year-old girl named Asha (DeBose) in the Kingdom of Rosas, who makes a passionate plea to the stars in a moment of need, leading her to meet a living, magic star which has fallen from the sky, and together they face up to the kingdom's dubious ruler, Magnifico (Pine).

I honestly think it’s hilarious that the animated short “once upon a studio” serves as a better love letter to Disney over the last 100 years than the multi billion dollar animated film that was made for theaters.
-
Asha: "You have to grant everyone's wish!" Magnifico: "Okay...What if someone wished for the end of the World?" Asha: "W...Why would someone wish for that?" Magnifico: "Oh, you sweet, summer child."
-
The saddest part is, this is going to be Disney’s last foreseeable original animated film for the time being. All the movies they have lined up for later on are all sequels to existing films. It’s almost like they’ve given up.
-
In the book version of the movie, there's a powerful line from Magnifico. It's when he captures Star and asks something along the lines of ''Where were you when I needed you? What makes the girl so special?''
-
This review doesn't actually make fun of the movie's silliest plot point. Early on, the queen warns the king never to touch the evil book lest it turn him evil. Then later when the good guys need to read it, she whips out some magical hand cream that allows them to safely touch the thing. You could have mentioned that to your husband! LOL
-
My biggest problem with the Film is that the "Villain" isn't really that bad. He says some Wishes are to vague to be granted, and some aren't meant to be granted. And he's right. He creates a Utopia where everyone seems to live without worry of food or clothing or anything.
-
“I’m a star!” “Look out world here I are!” Whoever wrote those lyrics needs to be fired immediately.
-
It is very strange to see a Disney movie where the "bad guy" is obviously not a bad guy and the "good guy" is actually the bad guy.
-
Disney: We promise to give you an old school villain, just like the ones you used to love. Also Disney: Gives “villain” reasonable backstory, logical reason to run the kingdom, and then force him to be evil when the protagonist acts more selfish than he does. Classic Disney 😒
-
The fact that the fandom consists of everybody just rewriting the movie is crazy to me.
-
If you think about it, the first Kingdom Hearts is a better celebration of Disney than the movie Disney themselves made. The main character is legitimately a good combo of several iconic Disney protagonists, the worlds are from iconic films, and even the villain is more like an actual Disney villain, even with all his anime mumbojumbo.
-
3:43 How can a DreamWorks sequel 11 years in the making, based on a Shrek spinoff character, have a better Wish movie than Disney's 100-year anniversary?
-
Between Asha overthrowing a king for not giving away more free stuff than he already did, and Ant Man being shamed by his daughter for retiring after he helped take down Thanos and save the freaking world, Disney has been advocating some really weird morals lately, haven't they?
-
You know you screwed up bad with your magic wishing star movie when your biggest competitor does basically the same thing but with a spanish cat being chased by a sadistic baker and an emo wolf, and completely steamrolls you with infinitely better creativity, charm, and music.
-
I really liked the idea you had of the king becoming the villain then having a redemption arc. Villains who turn good is one of my favourite tropes of all time as it adds a complexity to the morality of the character and shows them considering multiple sides.
-
7:26 either Magnifico granted extra wishes thus breaking his own concept of monthly ceremony and lowering the whole movie’s stakes altogether, because he can grant as many wishes as he likes that day of the month- or Rosas is such a magical place, a year there lasts 425 days. The math ain’t mathing
-
I am so angry that professional writers wrote "Watch out world, here I are" and were like, okay
-
An underwhelming film to celebrate 100 years of Disney
-
One of the parts that confuses me the most, when Asha questions Magnifico, is the fact that part of her job seems to consist precisely of explaining the rules of the city to newcomers.
