I wasn’t able to watch wish in theaters last year. But I was able to watch it on Disney + this past spring when it premiered.
And have been rewatching it ever since.
A lot people have shitted on the movie because they didn’t like it for one reason or another.
But I adore the movie, and if I can be honest I’d put it in my top 10 favorite disney films.
I loved the concept and I loved the characters. Could it had been executed better?
Of course,but overall I enjoyed the film and every rewatch makes me fall more in love with it.
I especially fell in love with magnifico. He was not a villain in my mind, even though disney was marketing him as one of the scariest of all time.
He was not scary at all, he was a kind and charitable man. Which for some reason was seen as villianous.
And Of course he was going to see star as a threat, he also didn’t know that Asha, the girl he thought was going to become his apprentice was an ally of said star.
All he knew at that moment was that HIS KINGDOM was under threat.
People try to justify things that Asha did and in my mind (even though I do love her.) she was wrong and she was all gun ho about giving back people’s wishes.
Even though they WILLINGLY gave mags their wishes and opted into forgetting them.
Which also brings me to my one gripe with the film, there was concept art that I had seen that led me to believe that disney was actually going to go into duality and it’s connection to good and evil.
Which if they had done that would have been epic, Asha and Magnifico actually going through the ebbs and flows and actually dealing with what is good and what is evil would had been a much better film imo.
But instead they gave us what we have now. Which despite my problems with how things were handled is still a really good movie.
A movie that I plan to continuously rewatch for the rest of my days.
