Disney has never let me down in most of the movies I've watched!! Now I'll have to try to illegally copy the movie so I can have it forever! (Yes, saw this one in a cinema.)
I will gladly say that when I heard of this one, I was not too enthralled about its release, but to think that when one looks at it, you can't help but love the storyline. It is a problem that would not have been a problem, but if the knowledge that really you can't have wishes come true by another being, one must do it themselves, but to have the wish given but never granted because it is forgotten, that does sound selfish even though we can see that the kingdom King Magnifico makes it all perfect for anyone to live in. It would signify that even if a place is all peaceful and gives such a panacea to all its residents, there's always some sort of weakness in its strengths. We could see that when Asha does have a wish to make accidentally and see the dark side of Magnifico, it is clear enough that he is a villain to have that he does not want wishes to be built upon if he does not want to grant wishes like a genie.
Now yes, GENIE. Would that remind you of something-yes, Genie from Aladdin! It is quite funny that one would see some Easter eggs in this movie-there are countless, and at some point, you will see the Disney logo! I will name a few-there's a horse from Tangled, Bambi was referenced several times, there was a little bit of Robin Hood as there's John the bear (well a tiny bit of Brother Bear as well...), Beauty and the Beast can be subtly be added here-look for the dress! The mushrooms can remind you of Fantasia (1940). Snow White and the Seven Dwarves was in the apprentice party and all of them have the same beginning letters of the first name of the dwarves in the movie. Also, the castle does have a little bit of the crown of Grimhilde at the cupola when opened, and mirrors are referenced for vainness... The magic wand can give a nod to Cinderella and there is someone saying about a fairy godmother; Valentino the goat gets to talk here, but listen carefully, he said a direct reference to Zootopia! The intro or end logo of the castle for Disney has something from The Lion King and Frozen 1 & 2-LOOK SHARP! Do though stay for the credits, there are many characters from the past movies put on as star constellations. There can be more Easter eggs and references that I might miss in this movie, but wow, it is quite fun and funny to locate and notice them! This movie can make you play a game on how many references and Easter eggs you can find, and it is fun to do so if you are able to see all the Disney movies before Wish (The last one before is Strange World.)
One can imagine that the movie is original and that it does encapsulate the magic of Disney-make a wish and even if it is not the way it is supposed to be in reality, it can come true if you gather all the ideas, plans and learn how to make that wish become reality. Disney is 100 years old, and they have had a great reputation of entertaining everyone, and I can say that they have not failed me in all their operations since 1923-this movie was well done to my eyes. WELL CONTRASTING, I do not get what the critics say on Rotten Tomatoes as to me, this was a masterpiece. From their website, they say that the movie is spoiled- 48% positive on the tomatometer! : https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/wish_2023 . Of course there is magic here in the movie, and it does demonstrate that what you have as a goal, it will be magically real. I would have thought the movie would be for best animated picture, but by what I read, it may not happen, and it can be a flop as the box office profit is close to half of the production budget as of now.
I'm ignoring those things, and it is great for my psyche to see. I was smiling from the beginning, had plenty of laughs, and became enamoured with the trials, tribulations and solutions attained in the storyline. Really, even though the naysayers put it down, I LOVED IT. To me, it would be rating high on my list of Disney movies I have seen-so without further ado, here is the list:
61: The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1 star)
60: Treasure Planet (2 stars)
59: Saludos Amigos (1 star, but deserves better.)
58: Atlantis: The Lost Empire (From here it is 2 stars, definitely.)
