Yes, this film is unapologetically corny and unabashedly self-congratulatory, and while it pales in comparison to many of the classic animated films referenced throughout, the little ones should find it entertaining enough and the parents should be at least mildly amused as well as grateful for a zippy 95-minute running time.
Wish serves as a throwback to the past, a celebration of the present, and a gentle push into the future.

Catchy songs, impressive animation and a roller-coster ride of enjoyment in this celebration crafts a future for Disney and all on Disney.

Beautiful in sight, song, & especially story. See it for yourself! Don’t take the critics’ word for it. They got it wrong & for good reason. It doesn’t match where they want society’s money or ideas invested. I wish I spent my money at the box office instead of waiting on the convenience (during a snow storm) of paying for it on a streaming service in the comfort of my home (like I’ve gotten accustomed to post-Covid). I’d gladly have forked over double just to support a film that deserves it.

It’s not going to make you forget “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” or “Bambi” or “Frozen” or “Tangled,” but elements of it might remind you of them. Which is by design.
Wish plays out like the No Frills version of a Disney princess story.
Disney has been at the forefront of animation in film for much of its 100 years and their legacy is unparalleled. That’s a lot to put on the shoulders of any animated film, but Wish, with its mundane celebration of this history, is a disappointing commemoration of these accomplishments.
In “Pinocchio,” when Geppetto wished upon a star, a hunk of wood became a real boy. Eighty-three years later, Disney’s latest animated film, called “Wish,” which is sort of about the origin of that same magical ball of gas, couldn’t be more wooden, manufactured or lifeless.
Unfortunately, Wish manages to be none of the things it wants to be. It is neither evocative enough of the past to work as a tribute, nor irreverent or inventive or just plain funny enough to justify its constant but half-hearted callouts. It’s the ultimate cop-out — a lifeless, uninspiring mess of bland brand management.
The best Disney film produced. In a fairy-tale concept for children, it not only hides many internal Easter eggs related to various old Disney works but also, and above all, exposes the political mechanisms of dictatorship, the surrender to third parties, to the typical charismatic leader, of one's own well-being and dreams, disempowering oneself, lightening the load, but at the cost of giving up a part of oneself, the commitment for oneself and other. Truly very satisfied with the viewing.

“Wish”, written by Jennifer Lee and Allison Moore, and directed by Chris Buck (the same team as “Frozen”), is Disney's 62nd animated feature film and was made to celebrate its 100th anniversary.
In itself it blends medieval fantasy and musicals, tradition and modernity, a multicultural story of personal training and rebellion against a centuries-old despotic power, a story entirely interpreted by women. At the center are the treatment of relevant themes: the need for personal affirmation and individual dignity to be defended at all costs, the social inequalities and contradictions of our time that must be fought, female emancipation, but above all the vital necessity of one's dreams, the desire to dream, the saving power of desires that one wants to try to realize. Themes to which some fundamental universal values typical of Disney films are also linked: good feelings, the importance of family ties, the relationship between Nature and human beings. “Wish” is not among Disney's best films, but it is pleasant and interesting in its own way.
It has to its credit the innovative technique used, which works on the fusion of traditional animation and CGI (aiming to maintain the artistic and pictorial value of hand drawing and watercolor with the potential of computer graphics); characters and villains essentially outlined (also from a visual point of view); music, locations, colors and suggestive atmospheres; the heartfelt homage to the history of Disney and the classics that made it famous.
On the passive side, however, there is a screenplay that is not very original or layered (which struggles to find rhythm and spontaneity, and above all which suffers from narrative passages that are not very successful or ineffective); and a style that is perhaps not very bold and lacks its own identity. It is a very quotative film (see the references to "Pinocchio" or "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", to "Cinderella" or "Aladdin", and more), nostalgic, celebratory (perhaps too much), which tries to enclose the authentic essence of a century of stories and magic, centering in the positivity of its message and in the touching epilogue of the film, the objective of the entire operation, that of paying homage to the spirit of Disney.
In conclusion, “Wish” is a work that is overall not excellent and not totally successful; despite this, however, he knows how to entertain with simplicity and excite in a genuine way, even though he never reaches the expressive intensity, the poetic peaks, the enchanting imaginative charm, and in short that evocative magic intrinsic to the masterpieces and some of the most unforgettable classics created by the house of Mickey Mouse. Rating (in tenths): 6 / 6.50

Es una película muy básica.
Para ser un homenaje por el 100 aniversario de Disney, esta película carece de carisma. Todos sabemos que las películas Disney no son muy complicadas de entender, dado que es su personalidad y la dedicación por parte del equipo artístico lo que atraía la atención del público. Pero Wish tiene una historia y personajes tan planos, y unos diseños tan básicos, que terminas la película con una sensación de vacío en el cuerpo.
Supongo que esto es lo que ocurre cuando se industrializa demasiado una compañía que trata de sacar más de 20 series, películas y cortos al año. Sube la cantidad, pero baja la calidad.

Est-ce réellement les 100 ans de Disney ?
Wish - Asha et la bonne étoile est selon Walt Disney Pictures « LE » film d’animation de la décennie, celui qui va relier tous leurs grands classiques d’animation pour les 100 ans du studio historique. Alors, ça vaut quoi ? Eh bien, je ne trouve pas grand-chose de positif à dire… La direction artistique est je trouve, un peu brouillonne, un mélange **** entre de la 3D et la peinture. En plus de cela, l’animation de l’environnement, des personnages et autres est je trouve, un peu saccadée et absolument pas au niveau d’un Reine des Neiges ou de Vaiana. Parlons des musiques, c’est censé être un gros point fort des classiques Disney, qui ne se rappelle pas des chansons de Blanche Neige, Le Roi Lion, etc… En bref, c’est « LA » signature des classiques Disney. Mais du coup, les musiques de Wish, ça vaut quoi ? Eh bien, elles sont toutes oubliables de mon point de vue. Aucune des 12 chansons n'est véritablement mémorable, la seule qui ressort un peu du lot, c’est « Knowing What I Know Now » et encore…
Pour finir, j’ai été déçu par ce film étant un grand fan des productions classiques de Disney j’attendais probablement plus du métrage des 100 ans de la marque, surtout avec la communication qu’il y a eu. Toujours dans l’attente d’un grand renouveau dans les productions Disney.

It had already been said that granting people’s wishes without consideration is very dangerous at the start of the movie then the protagonist fought the king and started granting everyone’s wishes lmao.
