Wish Isn't THAT Bad...Ya'll Overreacted

"Watch out world! Here I ARE." 🙃💀 Yes, I know I accidentally wrote "look" instead of "watch" in the video for that quote. Oops! It's still an awful line regardless XD The song gets more awkward the more I hear it. I truly was not listening to the lyrics the first time I heard it XD No but really, though, i may not care for Sofia the First's animation, but it's a fantastic show and MUCH more of a celebration of 100 years of Disney more than Wish imo. It references classic Disney movies, the Disney princesses with original voices show up (those who are alive), has amazing music, a great story, and is just fun overall. I did a Sofia the First review! Feel free to check it out 😁https://youtu.be/OHhpHGdmOkE?si=HysBMuj6rAELEvWH

Imo, the movie isn’t the worst but with the expectation of the 100 year anniversary of Disney, the movie didn’t deliver. That’s why I think people hate it more than it really should be

ashas character annoyed me a lot tbh. I know people are annoyed about the “quirky protagonists” but all of them also have multiple other traits that make each stand out! asha just felt so empty… like a shell of a character after characters like rapunzel, moana and mirabel I feel like myself and many others expected a strong protagonist. Asha has no emotional pull, her family are background characters her friends are so irrelevant I don’t think anyone even remembers their names.

It isn't a terrible movie it was just boring in my opinion. 😞 Edit: Plus, Wish had so much potential. They were literally going to have a STAR BOY who was a love interest to Asha, and we could've had our first villain couple! Wasted potential. 😭

It's not bad, it's mediocre. That's why people are so mad. This is disney's 100th anniversary ad the film is just nothig. They also had such a good idea with the starboy and villain couple...

My biggest issue with Wish is that Asha was... actually pretty selfish. For the vast majority of the movie she was hiperfocused on granting her grandpa's wish, because she thought that it is cute for him to get his wish granted for his 100th birthday. Sure, she didn't wanted it for "herself", but for me wanting such things for your close relatives is selfish as well. She wanted to become Magnifico student only to make sure that her grandpa's wish will be granted - and if she hypotheticly did that, who else would be next? Her mom? Her friends? Anyone who is close to her? This makes her way worse wishmaker than Magnifico, who at least had his reasons to grant wishes and hadn't grant them for personal reasons. I don't like the vibe of nepo fairy, which Asha gives me. Sure, many Disney heroes and heroines have selfish reasons. E.g. Alladdin's reason was very selfish - he wanted Jasmine's love - but during his journey he learned that the most important is to be honest with who he is, and when he accepted it, he realized that this is who Jasmine loves. And Asha... as you said, she learn nothing. I'm not convinced whether she not be selfish anymore and grant wishes only to those who are close to her. I'm still not sure whether she fighted Magnifico at the end because she wanted to save everybody, or that he threaten her directly. Omg, I also have huge issues with last "this" in "This wish" song! It not only lays on the middle note - it is spoken, which makes it very off putting and terrible final note for this song. Ariana DeBose has such beautiful voice and she would be able to sing beautiful high note, if she was allowed to do so.

One idea that could have made the wishes dangerous (and made Magnifico very evil) was do the old “be careful what you wish for” trope where with each wish comes a deadly price and this caveat could have been hidden from the people. It would have paid homage to Dr. Facilier or Ursula.

The villain kind of was in the right because if you do have evil intentions, your wish should not be granted

Disney is allergic to romantic couples unless the female is dominant and the male is submissive smh. That is a terrible message to send to kids, let alone people who want to be in a relationship 🤦🏻‍♀️

It's not that it was awful but.. it was disappointing.The original version they scrapped seemed much more interesting. Honestly I hope they'll remake it with better writing and more character development (and better music 💀)

Let's just take a quick moment to think about the ending. The kingdom threw out the man with the experience and then gave the exact same job to a teenage girl with no experience. Makes me think of the scene from Nostalgia Critics review on Wish where it cut to black and all of a sudden the kingdom is in flames

It's the 100 year anniversary that put the final nail in the coffin. Most people would be disappointed but overall apathetic if Wish was a random Disney movie release. When people saw that Wish was attached to the anniversary, people were expecting quality comparable to, say, Encanto or Inside Out 2. EDIT: the cool concepts that were abandoned are additional salt in the wound

I do think the reason why ppl think it's that bad is probably because of the bad movies disney has produced in past. I mean, disney has not been doing well since 2020, but I do think they were kinda lazy with Wish. The concepts are amazing 👏 🤩, and Asha's design was actually well done, however the Asha we got has a purple color scheme, and it doesn't work well because we already have Rapunzel with that Color Scheme. I think orange could have worked maybe a bit better, or use 2 colors, it doesn't have to be one. The concept had full potential, and this was the chance for Disney to grow ✨️, but they switched the exciting stuff with boring level 1 😴😴. Some reviews just expand the hate in some bad movies that are not even that are bad. Anyways love your content ✨️ 💕 💛 🌠

Disney's Wish is not really a bad movie, in my opinion. Sure, it definitely could've been better, but it wasn't a terrible fiom. To be honest, I think it would've been a much better movie if the creative team went with their original plan, having Asha being the daughter of both evil parents, King Magnifico, and Queen Amaya. Plus, having Aaha being the daughter of the evil king and queen could've given Asha some great character development that allowed her to stand against her evil parents, giving more interesting personality than the previous Disney Princesses/Heroines. And to add to that, they could've give Asha's seven friends bigger roles where they can teach Asha the difference between the typical good vs. evil and help her reform and turn against her evil parents. I don't mind Asha having that "dorkable" personality, but it's definitely way overdone by now. Disney Animators really need to give their characters more personality and depth if they want to tell more potential good stories.

My advice for last year would’ve been to have “Wish Upon A Studio” been the 100 year tribute, and work out the kinks of “Wish” before releasing it. “This Is the Thanks I Get” is an ear worm, and Magnifico had so much potential (your alternatives would’ve been great ideas). P.S. Asha having a goat could be a reference to Esmeralda in “Hunchback of Norte Dame”.

🌠I haven't seen it myself. Mostly because nothing has really grabbed my attention, and the more I hear about it the less I want to watch it. Which stinks because I remember being intrigued with Disney doing something new. Only to slowly find out that it was a classic Disney movie being done by people who seam to not understand what made them work. I don't think it deserves the hate that it gets, but I can see where people are coming from. Here's to hoping that Disney can make a true return to form some day. 🙂

Honestly I just really enjoyed the sketchy/"unfinished" style. It really grew on me.. and I really feel I am in the minority with that :')

Probably the best thing about Wish is that it’s a great canvas to create some enjoyable fanfics, especially with all the material they cut out

I never watch the movie nor do I ever plan to see it, because from the reviews I've seen and read, including yours, it never gave me a good enough reason to watch it. Wish is a disappointment of what was supposed to be the 100th years of Disney, among many of the things that they should have done to make the movie the better... Why didn't they just pick a fairy tale and retold it in their own way, that is how Disney started with Snow White a story from a classic book. But NOPE, they went with making up their own story with no reference what's so ever and this is the results, a huge pile of nothing😑 Disney's future is not looking as bright as they want us to think, and I already feel dread from the upcoming seuqeuls that will make us cringe 😖 God bless you Aloubell 🙏🏼

I love the eye shape you gave Asha in your drawing! So pretty! 💖🌠 Edid: The thing about the message is really true! I would have liked if they explained that the the star's, and by extention, Asha's magic can't be used to just instantly solve your life. It could be even another referece, like... the fairy godmother didn't just send a lightning to kill the step mother and step sisters to give Cinderella the happily ever after, she gave Cinderella temporary props so she could go to the ball, wich happened to lead her to meet the prince and have her happily ever after. Like... using the magic as just a support, like you said... does that make sense? I hope it does.
