Interesting thing to note about animal sidekicks- 9 times out of 10 they tend to be character foils to the mc. Think Flounder's cowardice vs Ariel's outgoing exploratory nature, or Pascal being surprisingly stern and down to earth while Rapunzel is very much a head in the clouds kind of gal. Even Abuu, who at first glance seems exactly like Aladdin, is much more greedy and selfish to contrast with Aladdin's generous nature. The goat does not act as a foil to Asha in any way, not just because it was only ever meant to be plushie bait, but in part because Asha's character is as 2d as the movie wants to look.

If you want to count princess and the frog, Ray and Louis are very laid back and believe strongly in what seems impossible. Ray is a more obvious foil because he believes more in the power of stars and how real they are than most of the other characters. Also, princess and the frog is everything wish wanted to be. It already did the wishing on stars thing and it was decided by the end of the movie that you should work hard but still have a touch of wonder and let yourself enjoy life too. It even says in the movie it's not always about what you WANT, what you NEED (spiritually, emotionally) is more important. Wish basically spits on that message.

I saw an intervew she did talking about how it was to work for disney and she says she had ABOUT 3 WEEKS to deliver each song but only using a cliffnotes version of the script... They didn't even tell her the name of the protagonist, just described Asha as "a young activist that loves her people" After knowing that and seeing scrapped storyboards and animatics of a previous version of wish I feel so sorry for her and everyone who worked on this movie

You know the last three big disney musicals before Wish did their "obligatory animal sidekick" in a lot more fun ways. Sven wasn't Anna's or Elsa's, he was Kristoph's. the Moana rooster was a bait-and-switch, replacing the obvious and promoted funny-cute-pig with an ugly, unintelligent, borderline detrimental chicken, and that was a good bit. Encanto didn't even have one, unless you count Bruno's rat friends, which would probably be a nice thing to do for the guy. The Goat is so barebones in the face of this that it's a wonder why they did it outside of Monkey's Paw-ing everyone's complaints; "Oh, 'modern Disney' isn't good enough for you?

A few added thoughts, If you'll indulge me: -Another function of the animal sidekick is to give the lead reason to vocalize their thoughts without talking to themselves, which can function better when the sidekick doesn't talk back. (See: Pascal) -I saw speculation that Star was being primed to be a new mascot for Disney as they lose more and more of Mickey to Public Domain. Disney's held onto the "When you wish upon a star" song for so long, taking a literal wishing star as their mascot makes sense, they've even shown in concept material how the star's expressions were modeled off of classic Mickey. I don't know if I fully believe it, but given the way that the star was originally made to be human-esque and was then mascotified, for lack of a better term, I can see where the belief comes from. -It is SO obvious that At All Costs was meant to be a duet between Asha and Human Star back when that was still a thing and production materials imply that the relationship might even be romantic. -This is the Thanks I Get was 100% released so they could go "We have a villain song this time guys!" Since that's something people have been begging for the return of for years. - While I don't have much hope for Moana 2 knowing that they didn't bring Lin back and knowing the history that it was originally meant to be a Disney+ series, it VERY MUCH worries me that the only music that is in the Moana 2 trailers is from the first film, giving me the impression that they don't have much faith in the sequel's music.

Such a shame that “This Is the Thanks I Get” absolutely doesn’t fit the bill for a Disney villain song. 😂 It’s there on the technicality that a supposed villain sang the song. And that sucks because a title like that would have made for a banger villain song, especially if it were a decent guy enraged that all of his “benevolent efforts” were taken for granted by the ungrateful masses. That’s certainly what it seems the song was going for, but the lyrics and melody do not work at all.

realistically, yes, asking for magnifico to grant wishes you want is in fact selfish. he does it at his own convenience to be sure, but the fact is that you are asking someone else to make something happen for you or someone you know with nothing in return, as opposed to doing something about it yourself - as grandpa does by the end. the entire kingdom seems void of ambition because they’re all just counting on their wish being granted by this ruler, to the point where they just see him as the guy who grants their wishes every once in a while. the entire thing of “just keep wishing” at the end seems like a particular part of that: if you just keep hoping, maybe someday disney will actually listen and make a good movie again. it’s just a whole mantra against putting in effort. yeah, just sit there and do nothing, accept what we’re giving you in the vain hopes that someday it will improve. the truth is, if you want your situation to improve, you need to do something. and in fact that is exactly what asha does, by challenging the status quo of magnifico and in essence taking his place as wishgranter. but then… she just says “oh yeah don’t do what i did to get here lmao”.

First time watching Wish I got whiplash from how fast Asha goes from “you are our beloved king and a borderline demigod I’d serve unconditionally” to wanting to rebel and change the whole system. Like there’s not even a song’s length and he barely gets to explain his logic so she can poke holes in it. We don’t know what happened to his family to make home so paranoid but it’s implied to be really violent. Like realistically you can’t be granting vague wishes and if she took slightly longer to think there could’ve been a middle ground option he rejected THEN she’d rebel and he’d fall to dark magic.

You can tell that Welcome to Rosas wanted to be The Family Madrigal so bad, but what made The Family Madrigal so good was that they gave us so much information on the STORY and the characters we’re supposed to care about. In four minutes (an absolute fricking banger four minutes)we can deduce that the Madrigals are the unofficial head family of the village. They’re the “Amazing Madrigals”, and Antonio’s gift ceremony is a community wide event that kicks off the entire plot. We can deduce that Abuela is a bit of a severe figure hyperfocused on “the miracle” and serving the community. We learn that her son has been completely excommunicated, and while her daughters are married to sweethearts, their gifts can be a bit burdensome, Pepa’s being “hard to control” and Julieta’s being in high demand. When Mirabel introduces her sisters she says “the beauty and the brawn do no wrong”, implying that *she* does wrong, and she’s the family screwup/scapegoat. “She’s the perfect golden child” lets us know that things are tense bewteeen her and Isabela in particular, and her telling Mariano she’s a “primadonna” lets us know it’s full on hostility. AND this also lets us know that Mariano marrying Isabela will also be something to remember for later in the film. The way everyone’s color palette lets you know whose kid is whose, and they move in accordance with their personality. Camilo is the goofball shapeshifter, Dolores listens more than she speaks, Augustín is accident prone, which even gives us insight on how he ended up with Julieta. Then you look at Welcome to Rosas. It doesn’t seem like a particularly tight knit community like the encanto. It’s supposed to be this magical lamd of wishes, but it looks generic. Despite what the lyrics say, there are no “creations on display”. Mirabel sings the opening number as a member of La Familia Madrigal singing her relatives’ praises. Asha is…a tour guide? Like, is she PR? Does she have a W-2 with the palace? She could’ve easily just been the naive princess singing about how wonderful her kingdom is without knowing about her father’s true intentions with people’s wishes were, but nooooo. That would be compelling. That would be substantial. This film is just EMPTY, my dudes.

I think Disney's complacency falls purely on stagnation due to success. In the early-to-mid 2000s, Disney was struggling because 2D animation was on its way out and 3D animation was becoming more and more viable thanks to DreamWorks and Pixar. Films like Atlantis: The Lost Empire and Treasure Planet got good reviews but failed financially, Disney was looking to other avenues of revenue while they were working out how to bounce back, one of which was video games. Their Japanese branch was situated in the same building as Squaresoft, and after an elevator pitch, kickstarted a series of games still running to this day. But the funny thing is, Disney invested in the experiment because of how desperate they were for money. They were still cautious in case Kingdom Hearts flopped though, and that's why Mickey barely shows up in the first game. The hard truth is, Disney would NEVER greenlight Kingdom Hearts in 2024.

There’s a reason this quote is a thing: “necessity is the mother of invention”. When you become complacent, that’s when true stagnation and failure rears its head.

Scheduling. The answer is scheduling. Wish *had* to come out at Disney's centennial, so the timeline had no room for flexibility. Someone like Lin-Manuel Miranda would require flexibility, since (much like Howard Ashman before him) he's the kind of songwriter that gives feedback and suggestions to the story while it's being written. Julia Michaels seemed like a terrible choice (because it absolutely was), but I can kind of see the logic from an executive's point of view: you want more Billboard Hot 100 hits like Let It Go and viral Tiktok music like We Don't Talk About Bruno, so you hire someone who's written Billboard Hot 100 hits/Tiktok dance music AND is willing to work on a tight deadline. If you get her to write enough catchy hooks, odds are SOMETHING is gonna stick in the audience's heads, right? Right?

I'm not sure what else they were up to during Wish's 5(?) year production but they most likely didn't have the time to work on it. Also, they both probably would've wanted to be more involved with the story or at least know as much as they possibly could about it to write the music for it. And well... with all the constant changes being made to it, LMM and Menken might've ended up jumping ship.

I think the animal sidekick trope was also a way for Disney characters to have a support system but still be independently driven in their respective journeys. Alot of the Disney classics begin with their protagonist isolated in one way or another; Their support system (family, friends, etc.) may not be able to follow them on their journey, actively ignore or discourage the protagonist wants/needs, or just doesn't exist at all. (Think Hercules, Little Mermaid, Aladdin) An animal sidekick gives that unwavering loyalty and love a pet has while also being personified enough through the animation or voice acting for the protagonist to banter with before they gain other companions. However the sidekicks remain dependent on the main character, so they still have to find their own solutions to problems. The goat feels redundant not only because of the star fitting the role better, but because Asha never fully loses her support system. I agree with what you said about why the star works but the goat doesn't. At some point it occurred to me, "Hey, wouldn't it be neat if the unfunny goat scenes were replaced by one of the 7 friends helping her to flesh out both them as characters beyond the dwarf they represent and their bonds with Asha?" I mean you can get rid of 5/7 friends and nothing is lost. I seriously think they only wrote two friends initially and the 7 dwarfs thing was a reference shoe horned in out of obligation, not unlike the terrible, terrible goat.

He managed to make it out alive to start a new kingdom, but from then on he vowed to never lose control again. Leading to him becoming something of a dictator. But then by the end of the movie people kind of make their own magic to overthrow Magnifico as he went too far in the other direction. Something like that im not a writer.

The more 2D elements (like the Star and magic) seem to use standard smear frames and look really good, but the 3D animated elements (everything else) just looks like it’s been played at the wrong frame rate or something 😭😭😭

"I'm a star" has a point, a very important point that you need to understand the ending, it introduces the idea that every one is a stard, so in the end, when the sky is block and she can't look up, she looks down at the people and wishes upon them, because they are stars. The song is done is so incompetent way that breaks the ending. (Also it doesn't need to be a song, it could be a line and it would be much cleaner)

Its just kind of thematically all over the place. It doesnt really have a theme that asks questions. At best, its sort of narcissistic.

I enjoy the deconstruction of the whole ‘adorkable’ trope. Makes me wonder how a Disney princess style character could work if they had social anxiety that wasn’t all prettied up. Let them be overwhelmed, give them panic attacks. Why not Also Magnifico is funny cause it’s not even that we don’t know anything about him, but that the little we do know contradicts itself

There is something puzzling about the villain. Like he seems genuine in the beginning because he he tells her that he cares about his people but doesn’t explain much about his past in which I was curious about. But then he turns into a narcissist and sings about how good he is. So what are his motivations now? I guess more power but his power is consumed by evil magic when he opens to book. No too mention that the Queen read that book and I was expecting like a true love kiss but no, she just traps him.

I watched this in the theater because my daughter asked to go for her birthday. I hadn't heard much about it, but I did know it was a grand celebration of Disney and silly me, based on my entire childhood, I assumed they could and would make a decent musical. Even more, I was excited to see it because it wasn't a live-action remake but rather a new story. 2 hours later I was smad, and had spent most of the movie either rolling my eyes or physically recoiling in irritation (that lie-lie-lie-lie lyric really nailed my coffin shut). I don't mind pop songs in musicals (love the soundtrack to Greatest Showman) just not this musical or these pop songs. side note: I just accidentally???? wrote "poop songs" both times

It's one of the reasons why I was TAKEN back by Honkai Star Rail and Kingdom Hearts ...even though one is a Gacha mobile game of all things and Kingdom Hearts is more of a franchise at this point, THERE is a lot of consideration into the soundtrack itself. try to listen to an Orchestra version of Kingdom Hearts' soundtrack... It transports you into a land that Disney these days can't 'conjure'...mostly because these days Disney focuses more on 'safe' stuff or they try to focus on Stories that are sequels.

Yea, one thing that's absolutely unfair is that even though Genshin Impact feels middling in a lot of ways compared to other Hoyo games... The soundtrack is PHENOMENAL. Better than Star Rail's and most games I've played, by miles imo. One of their early composers dropped a debut album (Yu-peng Chen's FANTASYLAND) and it's also really good

I think convincing someone to give something up under false pretenses counts as stealing. Like, legally. That's like, the definition of fraud. Also there doesn't seem to actually be any option NOT to give up your wish to him. Also no, Magnifico wasn't "right". He had a point in saying that some wishes are too dangerous to be granted, yeah, but one guy with no oversight or accountability definitely should not have the authority to decide which people are and aren't allowed to pursue happiness. We have a word for that in real life, actually, and it's not one with generally good connotations.

@AugustQ-p1w so by that logic, national lottery is illegal too, right? There's no false pretense, people know ceremonies happen and when. so if they don't lack braincells they realize what the chances are. Still, they all sing and dance being happy and excited about it up until the plot suddenly needs them to not be. Also, asha clearly says you "get to" give your wish in a ceremony, not have to, not forced to, she gleefully talks about how "maybe someday" your wish could become true. They are all aware, except the poor writing of the movie ig.

@@WobblesandBean fr like tbh when I heard that Magnifico is just not cut out to be a villain but is actually a really good character, that changed my whole view on how badly they shoehorned him into the role. The movie explains what he went through to want to make a safe haven, and that he doesn't want to grant wishes that may jeopardize that, and like the people aren't even oppressed??? They live happy lives and give him nothing, and they get mad cause he won't give them even more stuff, and he has to struggle against that the entire time

This is the, what, 9th time that Disney's been like "hey this movie's gonna have gay characters in it!!" and it's totally blink-and-you-miss-it so they can edit it out for the foreign releases.
