Disney's "Wish" emerges as a blatant piece of Disney propaganda, surpassing even
classics like "The Lion King" and "Encanto" in its overt ties to the Mouse House
legacy. While laden with references from "Peter Pan" to "Mary Poppins," the
film's central theme fixates on the necessity of wishing on Disney-branded stars
for happiness.
Despite a few strong musical numbers and an intriguing plot about the
manipulation of promises, the movie succumbs to a sense of manufactured and
hollow magic, leaving it forgettable. Set in the undefined era of Rosas, the
film follows Asha's journey from disillusionment
with the magic keeper, King Magnifico, to becoming a magical leader herself,
challenging the corrupting influence of power.
Ultimately, "Wish" feels heavily processed, resembling an AI-designed Disney
film crafted for maximum profit rather than genuine artistic expression. The
longing for something more human and true remains unfulfilled. |
