A Return to Classic Disney: A Deep Dive into Wish

Released in celebration of Disney's 100th anniversary, "Wish" marked a significant return to the studio's hand-drawn roots. This essay will delve into the film's strengths, focusing on the powerful protagonist Asha, the multifaceted villain Magnifico, and the bold decision to forgo a romantic subplot.

A Heroine Redefined: Asha's Journey of Self-Discovery

Asha shatters the expectations of the classic Disney princess. Forget damsels in distress; Asha is a force to be reckoned with. Consumed by a burning desire to restore her family's lost wishes and safeguard her kingdom of Rosas from the encroaching shadows, Asha embodies courage, determination, and unwavering optimism. Unlike previous princesses who awaited rescue from a charming prince, Asha takes charge of her own destiny. Her path becomes a transformative one, a testament to the immense power that lies dormant within each of us. Witnessing Asha's growth and self-discovery as she overcomes challenges and confronts her fears is a powerful message for viewers, particularly young girls, demonstrating that true magic lies not in external forces, but in the strength we cultivate within ourselves.

Beyond the Surface: Unveiling the Depths of Magnifico

Magnifico, the enigmatic villain of "Wish," transcends the trope of the one-dimensional antagonist. Unlike his cartoonish counterparts, Magnifico possesses an air of intrigue. The film cleverly avoids spoon-feeding the audience his motivations. Hints of a troubled past, perhaps a past betrayal or a warped sense of justice, fuel his hunger for power. This ambiguity allows viewers to interpret his actions and backstory, creating a richer and more complex character. This shift away from the stereotypical villain adds depth to the narrative, keeping the audience engaged and prompting them to question Magnifico's true intentions.

A Celebration of Platonic Love: Friendship and Family Take Center Stage

"Wish" boldly breaks away from the Disney mold by omitting a romantic subplot. This decision allows the narrative to flourish in a way that prioritizes the importance of chosen family and platonic love. The central focus becomes Asha's relationships with her family and friends, particularly her quirky and loyal companion, Miguel, the adorable goat. Their unwavering support and strong bond become the driving force behind Asha's success. As they work together to overcome obstacles, their unwavering camaraderie and genuine care for one another shine through. This emphasis on platonic love offers a refreshing alternative to the overused trope of romantic entanglement in Disney films. It celebrates the power of friendship and family, showcasing the strength we can find in the connections we forge with those who stand by our side.

A Timeless Legacy: Friendship, Courage, and the Magic Within

"Wish" takes viewers on a visually captivating adventure, characterized by its stunning watercolor animation style, with a brave and resourceful heroine at its core. By eschewing the traditional romantic narrative and placing the spotlight on Asha's inner strength, a well-developed villain with hidden depths, and the enduring power of friendship and family, the film offers a unique and heartwarming addition to the Disney canon. "Wish" stands as a testament to the fact that love stories come in all forms, and that the most magical journeys are often the ones we embark on with ourselves and the people we hold most dear. It's a return to the classic Disney values of courage, kindness, and self-belief, reminding us that the true magic lies within the potential we all possess.

OH MY GOD

Something that’s been driving me crazy is everybody’s video thumbnails or such involving pitting Wish or some other movie against another, whichever one they hate or like better/hate less. Like people can’t y’all just let us enjoy something without putting it against something else!?!

Yeah, i hear you. When people do this, i will hate the movie they are comparing Wish to and saying it is "better" than Wish i will just hate that other film so much 😭 like kpop demon hunters or Nimona or the wild robot, Tangled/Rapunzel and on and on and on... it's also driving me crazy it's like i can't like anything without feeling like I'm in emery territory 😮‍💨

Back at it with some Disney femslash! I’ve missed making fanart for crossover ships! 🌟

Kpop Demon Hunters used Ai for one of their songs 🤭

They deleted the tweet which is so funny because they are trying to do damage control now, they replaced the tweet with a article that does not mention ai at all lol, and of course people are going to make excuses for this, one of them is that the original article was actually made with ai (there is no proof of this) it also doesn't change the fact that he supports ai,

This is just so funny.

The Art of Wish: Stylization of Wish

Once the illustrative style was set, the team had to figure out how to achieve it in CG. "We didn't know how we were going to do it," says VFX supervisor Kyle Odermatt, "but I always like going into a film with questions that we don't have the answers to yet." Jennifer Lee adds, "In animation, you need to have a brain that thinks in possibility." It took relentless research and development in order to deliver on the promise of moving illustration. "We ended up taking a reductive approach. All the bells and whistles of CG plus linework and watercolor was cacophonous, so we had to be thoughtful and selective," says production designer Michael Giaimo. "Michael and Kyle are incredible together," says producer Peter Del Vecho. "This wouldn't have been possible without their joint vision." One of the first tests was to see how a CG character would look in 2D. Associate director of cinematography, lighting, Gregory Culp took a real hand-drawn background painting from Pinocchio and had CG Asha walk through the street. If there was any disconnect between Asha and her surroundings, the illusion would be broken. Integrating CG characters with environments in a uniform 2D look is very difficult to achieve, which is why the test was so important—it proved it could be done. The studio had produced a variety of stylized short films, such as Paperman, Feast, and Far from the Tree. Discoveries made on these shorts helped lay the track for Wish-much like The Old Mill did for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Odermatt also held an open forum research and development meeting every week for a year. "It was an open invite. Anyone at the studio who was interested in stylization and wanted to come was welcome. We put no limits on what ideas people could bring forth or show in the meeting— from verbal pitches to fully rendered test shots—it was our attempt to get every idea out. The energy fed off itself in that forum. It was really fun and dynamic," says Odermatt. Associate producer Jim Hasman adds, "Everybody was great at saying, I ran this test, I kicked this off, I tried this thing? The openness to share early on and experiment allowed people to build off each other and inspire the next idea."

it’s been said by people smarter than me, but it really sucks that when you mention Wish, the only thing most people talk about is that stupid star boy. I remember seeing the concept art for him and thinking “I’m glad he was cut because I know how the internet works, and he would absolutely be the fan favorite while everyone ignores Asha” and somehow, despite literally not being canon, that’s still managed to happen.

The way that Magnifico’s “a king must be prepared for everything” means holding onto a dangerous book of forbidden magics vs. Amayas “a queen must be prepared” means studying all the other magic she can in anticipation of fighting against the forbidden magic book.

Also magical Queen Amaya crumbs

[dani-luminae]

Why did it take me this long to realize that the pinwheel is meant to foreshadow her wand

Also the fact that she physically hands it to a child - referencing her more effective hands-on approach to helping wishes come true - as opposed to how Magnifico stands back and makes pretty lights but otherwise doesn't really interact/engage with the people whose wishes he grants

[dani-luminae]

I have no explanation for this. I just love the forest/town backdrops of "This Wish" so have a collection of screenshots of it.

[sparkling-nov]

The official amount of wishes that king magnifico kept was 1700, 1700 wishes that 98% will never see the light of day and y'all think that is a good thing, magnifico said that each 1700 is good and makes feel happy so it's not like the wishes are bad or anything, it's just villainess to lie to people about their wishes.

[pickypickypeak]

someone in the wish fandom probably already said this but one major thing people conveniently forget when pushing the “asha and starboy were meant to be a thing” propaganda is literally her song. we know this wish was written EARLY in production and if you actually take the time to read the “so bad” lyrics you’ll notice she’s wishing for her whole kingdom to have something more (=having their wishes back and the chance to chase them). which doesn’t mean she can’t possibly fall in love but like. this is not that movie. this is about community. this was always, very explicitly, meant to be about community (and it’s sad so many people dismissed it like it was a boring concept then made it about the guy)
