Analyzing the Flaws and Storytelling of Disney's Wish While REWRITING Them
Hello friends, this has been the longest I have ever talked for a video ever JSADIFHOASIEGH !!
I have always loved watching KZhead commentary videos, especially when it comes to animated movies and series and I decided why not give it a try myself! I was extremely motivated after having so many thoughts about Wish and was encouraged by many friends and especially Saki (who influenced sabino's outcome in the rewrite LMAO)
I hope you all can enjoy something a little different! Now this video for sure is the longest I have on this channel!
Rest assured, the other potential videos I have planned will definitely not be this long!
As always, thank you for watching and if you read this entire description, please let me know if you actually enjoyed Wish or not if you've seen it!

Thank you everyone for tuning into this video! ;0; this is the first time a solo video of mine got pushed out over 10k views so I’m very honored everyone was able to listen to me ramble about storytelling !!
maybe i'm of the few who think the film wasn't THAT bad, i mean, i didn't felt bored nor repelled watching it, also, i think Asha's doubts about magnifico's sistem had some basis: Magnifico's sistem didn't inpsired respect to the magic in the people since they were of the idea it was something that could be gained by pure luck instead of something that should be earned. Also, i remember Asha's interview and a complain i've seen is that she wanted to score a bruce almighty, when i saw it she KNEW that there wishes that cannot be granted. I think that if i had to rerwitte the film, the things i would rewrite would be these: -it would be more or less the same, however, the changes would be: 1-Star, who i will call hesperia, cannot comunicate with Asha as in the film, however valentino, now sapinet, would be able of translate, and he would explain to asha that hesperia is in the eath looking for her brothers who are missing. 2-ash'as friends would contribute with her to search for the other stars, and there will be clues that they're on rosas, where exactly we don't know yet. 3-however, Asha's teacher sabino, who here will be a sorcerer but not as famous as magnifico, will point to the fact that the magicians, by general rule, cannot grant wishes. how is that magnifico does it, they don't know. 4-and there is the big reveal: both magnifico and amaya were kidnaping hesperia's siblings and using their power to grant wishes, and the struggle now is to find in which part of the castle they are. 5-during the struggle, Asha manages to take from magnifico the key of the cage where the star people were being held prisoner, but in the process, Amaya stabs her with a blade hidden in her scepter, killing her(remember marcy's death at andrias hands in amphibia). and recapturing the stars 6-when everything seems lost, there is something else happening, when the stars almost scape, they emitted a scream that was heard by something else in the distant space.... 7-ust when magnifico was giving his discurse of victory, Amelia tell everyone that there are 2 moons...but it isn't, the other thing in the sky is an entity known as Belobog, the king of the light, a light-made dragon, who heard the scream of help of the stars, and came to rosas to release them, causing a massive rampage. during the havoc, Belobog captures amaya and Magnifico, using it's magic to turn amaya into the harp from mickey's story of jack and the beanstalk, and magnifico into the mirror of krimilde in snow white. 8-when belobog is about to lightblast rosas into a molten wasteland, hesperia talks to him calming him enough to explain it that Asha and her friends were helping them to spcae, and sadly Asha lost her life for that, Belobog decides to bring her back to life, but now she's not human, but a fairy to foster respect between humans and magic in the future...
Easiest fix for "Wish": Have the reveal near the end that almost all the bubbles are Magnifico's. The King has to give up all his own wishes as a sacrifice to protect the kingdom(after his previous home was destroyed thanks to errant magic), but he has to remember everything he has to give up. Every wish he wants, every desire, every hope for the future. He takes the wishes of others and actually grants them over time because granting every wish is just madcap chaos(think of the lottery win in "Bruce Almighty"), and because of the power, he can never grant his OWN wishes. He wants to do well for his kingdom, but he can only do so through his magnanimous acts(no taxes, etc;) and granting SOME of the wishes, even though he believes his people should have more. So he is embittered by the fact that he gave so much and sacrificed so much and Asha tells him what other people deserve("This Is The Thanks I Get?" could reveal more on that). Have him and Asha grab at a bubble(maybe her grandfathers instead of her moms)during a fight at one point, making the wish burst and corrupt Magnifico, making Asha responsible for the magical twisting he goes through. Reveal later that he can't actually give back the wishes, even if he wants to, to the people because of the magic. He becomes corrupted over time by taking wishes into himself and his wife takes advantage of that, making him look like more of a villain so she can take over and look like the hero. Go more into why Magnifico believes Star is dangerous. It should not be about keeping his power. It could even be his previous home was destroyed because of another Wishing Star who granted every wish willy nilly and because of it, things went bad. People grew apathetic because they didn't need to work or do...anything and because of it, his home was destroyed. I apologize for the long post, but I think it could have been saved if they weren't so set on making the movie suck. They should have made the Queen the villain(100 years, the first Disney villainess was Grimhilde/the Evil Queen from Snow White. Just feels like a missed opportunity.)
Instead🙅 of redesigning wish characters from the movie, you should be practicing your craft and improving your art and growing your channel work more on your art and practice before you decide that you want to fix another person‘s property improving yourself so that you can see the improvements you can do with your rewrite and redesigning I’m just giving you advice to improve your art and help you as a growing art channel and unless you’ve been lacking in a lot of creativity lately on your old channel and I’m here to Help This is just criticism and act all don’t take it harshly There’s room for growth and improvement, especially with your art please work more on yourself and you're artwork i mean it okay 🙁☝ learm more art techniques in perfect your craft take please my art advice you desperately as an artist. 😟👋 and help you're channel grow and why not try making some original characters at best 😉
My fix for her: make her the villain she was designed to be! And make king magnifico the hero the story wanted
keep the story mostly the same because the human star doesn't feel right but how star is in film feels right maybe his wish can backfire as friendly pranks if selfish/evil or even just to help so one selfish like cure someone if truly worthy or how to cure them as a riddle or shown what they need on a piece of paper. but stars unlike shooting stars need to be pure of heart or true to their heart.
I’m really on my way to watch all the Wish character analysis videos and not the actual movie LMAO
Same 😭✋🏾
Same here
hahaha 😂 Still haven’t seen the movie, but feel like I have
That's the best use of our time
Same
Magnifico destroying the grandfather’s wish makes so more sense to the story than destroying the mom’s. Asha put more emphasis on granting his wish and we never even learn what the mom’s wish was. Disney played it WAY too safe for this movie
If they had any teeth they'd have done that and had it kill the grandfather. Have Magnifico do something actually evil, give Asha an existential crisis over her actions leading to the outcome.
@@Crazyashley42 Yes, I think it would've greatly improved the "mustache-twirling villain" aspect of Magnifico's character if crushing the wishes kills people instead of making them sad, like maybe the wishes are really the life force or soul of a person rather than just "I want a new car", so the people who turn 18 and give him their wishes are literally placing their lives in the palm of his hand. That raises the stakes since Magnifico would be parasitically draining the lives of his own people in order to make himself more powerful, emphasizes what Asha says about people forgetting "the most beautiful part of themselves" and now we have a real reason to root for her to defeat him.
@@colbystearns5238It would also help if the wishes actively made Magnifico stronger so it feels even more selfish.
One of my biggest gripes about this is how Amaya isnt heartwrecked by Magnifico turning to evil. That is the person she loved, she married, she has shared her life with, and the emotional impact of him turning evil before her eyes is practically non-existent. She even mocks him after he gets trapped. That was the true love of her life and losing him was, to quote Pitch Meeting, "barely an inconvenience".
Funny thing, Pitch Meeting actually did a video on Wish.
and she also just comes in her quinn attire to aisha... Not only does she look out of place in the scene, but wouldn't she be recognized or at least noticed on the streets? a really strange moment
the original concept had them be an evil couple. but having a woman be seen as in the wrong and/or caring about a man in modern times? couldnt have that kind of messaging, as we all know woman can never do anything wrong and also will never ever need a man for any reason.
Can't have women be evil now. It's only men, men MEN. And if women were gonna be evil they have to be REDEEMABLE.
Was "Wish" Supposed to be an origin story for the Fairy Godmother? If so, I would've loved it if Asha started out as an ACTUAL Godmother to a child, who would one day grow to be the Fairy Godmother in "Cinderella" and her journey to becoming the first Fairy Godmother.
Much as that would be neat, Pretty sure they just threw in the cloak for reference purposes as the movie is full of spot the Disney classic references. Still that's a better idea then the actual purpose!
Maybe she can Change her appearance and time travel. It’s a stretch but…🫤
I wanted them to incorporate The Star in the story more, why not have a stargazing kingdom where magic came from the stars and anyone could learn to use this magic but maybe Asha discovered another type of magic? Like the magic from dreams, not in the sleep sense but the deepest wish of your heart sense, cause this way it would tie into the song from Cinderella with lyrics like "A dream is a wish your heart makes~". Like have Asha just be one of the people Magnifico is teaching magic to, have the other seven dwarf references also be magnifico's students, or if that bloats the cast too much have Asha just have two other classmates who are young versions of Merlin and Yen Sid (the wizard from Fantasia), and Magnifico's road to villany is just so lame, he needs a motivation and objective like Jack Horner from Puss in Boots the Last Wish, either that or cut him out and have a villain who's a reference to other magic wielding disney villains take his place, someone who's a reference to Maleficent or Jafar maybe. If the kigdom also made magic acessories like staffs you have your Jafar or Maleficent reference, you could make all sorts of magical objects who served as references, like a magic mirror, maybe the people don't use the magic of the stars directly maybe they need to direct this magic into these objects and Asha becomes the first person to be able to use magic directly.
@vampybyte7812 The same goes for the face of the Magic Mirror popping up while King Magnifico was being pulled into his staff, it's just another Easter Egg.
I would've preferred a "Rumpelstiltskin" adaptation where a mother makes a wish to save her child, only for Rumpelstiltskin to save them but take them away from her as payment.
I just realized why the animation bugs me so much. Their clothes look painted on. They don't wrinkle. They warp and bend with the body of the character rather than moving like cloth like other 3D movies do. FROZONE WE FOUND YOUR SUPERSUIT!
If you've seen Disney's kid 3d shows the animation of this looks a lot like that that is why I didn't feel it would be good and didn't watch it.
I actually didn't catch that until now, I think that's one of the other things that bothered me when I saw some clips for this movie.
We indeed found Frozone’s supersuit
Oh so that’s why, it felt so.. paper dolly
Exactly! And it’s such a shame too because Encanto’s clothing animation was phenomenal
Me personally I'd go with the with a "just because you can do something it doesn't always mean that you should" lesson. Asha would get what she wants early in the story and the fall out of it would be the fact that she got exactly what she wanted. To the detriment of everyone.
Like the monkey's paw, right?
@imperialofficerremusblackw8452 Yup I think that Monkey's paw stories are the best way to handle narratives like Wish.
Sounds like a good plot. It is similar to Megamind, where he "killed" Metroman and got control of the city....only to find out that owning the city requires work that he is unable to do
Wish is so disappointing because it doesn’t feel like Disney’s centennial movie at all. They played it way too safe and the results show. It’s also crazy how a main studio Disney movie hasn’t had a romance be a major part of a film since Tangled over ten years ago. (Not counting Anna and Kristoff). This movie could have been a cross between the Sorcerer’s Apprentice with Asha and Peter Pan with the Star not to mention the scrapped ideas of Magnifico and Amaya being an evil couple. Asha isn’t even a princess and that just adds salt to the wound. Disney as a creative studio has to change because this predictable formula for its storytelling has definitely run its course.
Sadly, they listen people who think Disney movies are some Planned Parenthood infomercials, and Disney Romances a kind of patriarchal slavery of young women. We can notice Pixar is allowed to romance with _Elemental_ , but in the subtext of anti racial message.
I kind of like her not being a princess. At first, i wanted her to have been adopted by them at a young age after her family dying, but i think i like what they were going for. It's like mulan and tiana, relatively normal women who go on journeys that end in them becoming royal/politically important. they wanted to show that ordinary people can make a change too, and that's fine by me. However, i agree with everything else 💀 so much wasted potential, but im glad it's making everyone come together to create all these rewrites (just like in the miraculous fandom 🤣). Sometimes if you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself!
Both your comments are gold, couldn't agree more 👍🏻
Enchanted would have been a better centennial movie. It's more reflective of Disney's past and plays around with the tropes.
@@ringinn7880 ooo you make a good point. that movie truly was golden, and the songs were bops too.
The concept art looked so good like Star had a human form and was Asha’s love interest and both Magnifico and Amaya were evil. This is my personal rewrite Asha would be Magnifico and Amaya’s actual daughter and so she grew up thinking that keeping the wishes was the right thing. I would also make her personality more similar to Elsa and Mulan rather than Rapunzel and Anna. She’s smart and serious but also stubborn. (Little nitpick but I would also change her design to look more like her concept art. She would have her natural hair out and her color palette more orange and red. When I think purple I think Rapunzel and Isabella.) Magnifico I would go the sympathetic route since it honestly works better for him. I would make that due to a traumatic experience he’s now a very paranoid man who truly just wants to keep everyone safe and he picks wishes that he deems best for everyone. Amaya would also be traumatized but instead of focusing on wishes she focuses on appearance. Like she wants her family to look good to the kingdom so that they don’t question them and believe that they’re all safe. The seven friends could be people who work around the castle and Asha then helps them throughout the story. I also like the betrayal but I like to imagine that Simon has a crush on Asha so he wants to be the greatest knight in order to hopefully impress her.
I always really loved the concept of Asha being their daughter! This is a great rewrite!
I personally ship Asha and Dahlia.12:15 I love that Asha’s friends are based on the 7 dwarfs. Nice tribute. Dare I say my Favorite Variants of the 7 dwarves. YES!!😆
This is getting good, I hope you could continue it, like how she finds out that her parents are evil, she finds Star, her future love interest and her parents attempting to capture him. Btw, if she is their actual daughter, does that mean that either Amaya or Magnifico (Or both) would be black? I always thought the story would take place in North Africa or South Asia due to Asha's appearance (And the goat being those country's animal), so the story should definitely should have taken place in either.
I honestly enjoyed Asha being unrelated to the royal family since most recent Disney princesses were born into royalty (Tiana being the last one who wasn't), plus I LOVED the "Sorcerer's Apprentice" concept (imagine if Asha had Mickey's blue, silver, and red color palette), though I'd be fine with Star being Magnifico and Amaya's son, being born with world-changing magic like Elsa. And I feel like 7 friends is too much for a main story, tbh. Dahlia, Gabo, and Dario were the only standouts to me, though you could always conflate Dahlia with Hal, Safi with Dario, and Gabo with Simon.
@@missplayer30It's supposed to take place in Andalusian Spain. Also, Asha being the princess would make a lot of sense for why everyone respects her and trusts her so much and would give her a great arc overcoming the expectations to be a perfect princess and grow into the leader Rosas needs. It would also provide a great conflict where in order to do what's right, she had to betray her own parents.
Three easy changes to make (story-wise): 1. Make Asha's personality more in line with Ariel, Jasmine, or Pocahontas--fun, intelligent, and curious. And give us more info on her dad if he's fonna have this profound impact on her. 2. Focus on the grey message; the people of Rosas are selfish and codependent, fueling Manifico's trauma and making him micromanage the wishes (which are still optional). And maybe make him ACTUALLY magical, since learning magic makes a huge plot hole in the film. 3. Make Asha's family involved and fleshed out, though maybe reduce the number of friends since that's a huge cast. And side note: was it really THAT hard to adapt "The Fisherman and His Wife" or expand on "The Sorceror's Apprentice"?
The superior Disney movie with a prominent wishing star motif and themes is Princess and the Frog.
No I think that was Dreamworks last year with Puss in Boots and the Last Wish.
They were comparing Disney movies PIB2 wasn't a Disney movie.
Absolutely.
I’ve been working on a rewrite myself as a writing exercise, and one idea I had was to take the vagueness of Asha’s desires and goals and make that part of her character. She doesn’t know what to wish for and feels tremendous pressure to get a wish of her own, but her father’s influence means her views on wishes differ from the kingdom’s. I am also including the Starboy as a character, but he’s got a connection with Asha already. See, Asha promised to give him her wish as a child, before he showed up, and he heard that and took an interest. Asha ended up talking to that star every night, unaware he was listening, to have someone to vent her frustrations and concerns about the kingdom to. The star also develops a wish of his own after coming to Earth… guess what it is.
To be with Asha? :D
@@SweetOrangeGirl Yup. It just kind of developed as an idea and I found it fitting.
I love this idea! It reminds me of a gender swapped The Little Mermaid, and there could be a reference to Part of That World in a song lyric or something.(Sorry if that’s not what you had in mind lol)
@@august6760 Well, one of the concepts they didn’t put in was that Asha and Star Boy were going to be in a romantic relationship (which would’ve been SO beautiful), so technically yes!
@@august6760 Thanks. I'm planning to go for more thematic and trope references rather than something that overt, but I might slip something in.
My idea of the story: Asha is able to fulfill all wishes immediately, but has to learn that this leads to chaos and destruction. Magnifico has to help her to solve the mess she created and together they can settle everything back to normal. Asha came to learn that not all wishes can be granted, at least not immediately, ar the same time, Magnifico learned that keeping unfulfilled wishes is not okay and is returning them to their owners. Also, from now on, he and Asha together fulfill the wishes of the people, but more than one every month, maybe five-ish or so.
Honestly this is how I kind of thought the movie would happen.
I would slightly change the lesson to be one of "you have to make sacrifices and work hard for your wish to come true" Every classic Disney movie required the protagonist to do this. I do like your idea that uncontrolled wish granting causes chaos. Sorta like in the Socerer's Apprentice, Mickey gets magic power, but overuses it causing things to get out of hand
That actually sounds more like what I thought the movie was going for but Lord forbid a female lead be wrong and has to change her worldviews rather than changing the world
Yeah Asha sees the kingdom's citizens are lacking some spark and she concludes that with their wishes gone and not granted, people are mentally suffering. She frees all the wishes and gets them granted at the same time but that causes chaos. Maybe many people feel worse off cuz now that their wishes were instantly granted, they feel even more empty. Magnifico has to help her set things right and clean up her mess and emphasizes that's why he did what he did. Asha isn't happy with his way of doing things but isn't happy with her solution either. Somehow she noticed her grandpa wasn't affected by the chaos and is in even more hugh spirits than other people in the kingdom and questions how that happened. It's revealed that his wish was organically granted so when Asha freed all the wishes, he just realized that he inspired the next generation by being wise and caring, or something. Then Asha realizes that simply having someone grant wishes isn't gonna make people fulfilled with their lives. The fulfillment comes from putting in hard work and effort to make your dreams come true. Or maybe just the journey makes people happy, alternatively her grandpa could realize his wish long ago wasn't exactly granted, but he still was a good person and though trying to live a good life, he realized that he didnt need his wish to be granted to feel fulfilled. Asha brings this up to the king, who isn't evil, and with the help of his wife who would be a voice of reason, he agrees to try this new plan. The movie can end here if it's too long or if there's still time, the last part of the movie could be them working together to help a sample of people or one person fulfill their wish and upon success, this will become the new norm. Or people could realize that some of them are happy with their wishes not being granted cuz they found meaning in life without their wishes and granting their wishes now won't really enhance their life anymore. I fell like a message saying "work to make your wish come true" is very needed right now with children (and even adults) having short attention spans cuz they are used to getting stuff instantly, whether that be food from buying fast food so they don't need to take the time to cook or by swiping on horrible social media apps like tiktok. Patience is a virtue and we weren't created to be lazy. Our bodies don't like being sedentary. A movie showing how rewarding it is to work for your goals is really needed rn.
That's what should done
King Magnifico's story could've played more into the story to tell why he won't grant wishes when he can. My idea is that he started out as a good and benevolent traveling sorcerer who loved granting wishes wherever he went until one day he made a seemingly harmless wish to someone who proceeded to use that magic for evil and destroyed the town he and his wife were staying in. Magnifico and his wife survived and founded Rosas, but he was traumatized by the event and disillusioned by wishes in general seeing only the potential danger and selfishness in them. Over the years he grew more fearful of anything happening to his perfect kingdom so when news gets out that someone else is granting wishes willy-nilly, he fears losing everything including his power which is why he finally opens the Dark Fairies' Book of Forbidden Arts that he found while traveling and uses it to destroy the wishes being granted and eventually the kingdom, becoming the same as the person who destroyed his home.
This is such a better backstory for him than the actual movie.
Oooh, and what's great about that is that as a 100th anniversary film, it combines both a classic Disney villain (The Evil Queen from Snow White. The fear about someone taking his spot) and a more recent one (Alma from Encanto. The trauma and control issues).
One change I'd make from your changes is that the king doesn't tell someone he's met for the first time his true intentions, especially since he has no intention of hiring her! She'd have to get hired to find that out, one would logically assume
FINALLY there's a video critisizing Wish that doesn't start with "Well, my kid loved it" or "Disney is going downhill" but instead comes from a person who acknowledges Disney/Pixar movies as examples of great, serious storytelling
Personally, I would love to just separate Magnifico into two villains: one redeemable with the whole backstory and pragmatic wish granting, and the other (Queen) pure evil with green magic book and megalomaniac wish to absorb Star. As for why she was with him (the other way around is pretty understandable, true love), maybe it's the just a wish to absord those unused and powerful yet "dangerous" wishes, but pure magic of wishes can not be controlled by heinous green magic, or something like that.
Ooooo I have an idea! What if magnifico was the wishing star of Asha’s great grandfather? He couldn’t grant the wish or the wish led to unintentional consequences that destroyed the kingdom. Magnifico is banished from the stars for his failure and is desperately trying to make up for his mistake by keeping the wishes.
So what's the background for Rosas?
@@OpticalSorcerer The king’s attempt at rebuilding what he destroyed. Only now he doesn’t believe in wishing and does his best to limit the amount of magic.
@@freshoffthehook904 If he doesn't believe in wishes, why does he even tell everyone he can?
@@OpticalSorcerer Correction, he doesn’t believe that wishing solves problems. He believes in the power of wishes and fears the consequences of wishing but he doesn’t believe in the “Disney magic”.
@@OpticalSorcerer He can’t completely get away from wishing magic because it is a part of his history. The power exists and he fears it will blow up in his face and destroy what he has rebuilt from the ashes of his mistake. So he does what he can to limit what people can wish for. Having him be a former wishing star that was exiled explains why he is such a powerful sorcerer, why he wants to control the wishes/how he knows how to get them in the first place, and it gives a lot more weight to his decision to use the wishes as a power source when he goes dark. It would also explain why he freaks out as soon as another wishing star comes down.
Honestly, if they had just fleshed out the magic system to have it so that possessing vast amounts of wishes granted the king his powers to grant a few would have made his motives make way more sense. Like the King draws power from the ungranted wishes to grant the few he thinks would have benefits the kingdom the most without losing his powers
I hate how asha says “I’m so nervous” like girl we can see your face and tell ourselves. Don’t patronize us
23:20 this would be cool to have her dress change from purple to orange (like the concept art) or visa versa😊
Nice ideas, especially bringing about Grandpa's death and how it affected Asha. I will give Wish one thing, just about everyone gives their take on what type of story it should've been, and it's fascinating to see everyone's version of it.
If Magnifico basically kills Asha's Grandfather, he NEEDS to get sucked into that mirror or at least face a suitable punishment for his evil. otherwise, yeah, what happens to him based on how the movie ACTUALLY goes is pretty harsh. There should have been more with the evil book, rather than "I said I'd never use this because I KNOW it's evil" meaning he was trying to be good the WHOLE TIME, and caved that once, leading him to get possessed by evil, that's like if Sorcerer Mickey, after messing with the hat and causing all that chaos, got punished by getting sucked into the hat for all eternity. Magnifico getting sucked into the mirror and becoming the Slave in the Magic Mirror should have been a more clear side effect for the evil power he was using, like the short-sightedness of the Evil Queen's Hag transformation playing into more of her feelings of jealousy and insecurity with Snow White rather than an actual desire for beauty. (if she's 2nd, she might as well be last) She doesn't care about the actual concept of beauty, she just doesn't want anyone to be better than her. Magnifico wanted to be in CONTROL of everyoen's desires and wishes, seen and beloved by all as someone with the power to influence the world around them. Since he was defeated, the cost of using that evil magic (Magic always comes with a PRICE) is he is now a SLAVE with NO CONTROL, and must answer honestly to anyone who summons him the reality and nothing else, either aggrandizing their ego, or reality checking their WISH. Holding up a mirror to their Wish/desire, and deaming it false. He can't do anything about it, just call it as it is, to the observer's dismay. That's an AWESOME explanation for the spirit in the Magic Mirror being a Cursed Egomaniacal Wish Granter who was brought low because he lost sight of what he really wanted and fell into power-grabbing.
With Asha’s clothing, I could see it being blue at first instead of purple. A sign of her dedication to the kingdom as their colors look to be blue, white, and shades of grey (as depicted by Magnifico’s clothing). And at the end her clothes are transformed into purple and gold as to represent a new era for the kingdom, the clothes she wears in this film, and her connection to the stars. That way there’s the magical transformation Disney has been known for and have been wanting to see for a long time.
It makes me sad that Disney doesn't seem to have writers who know how write engaging stories anymore.
Wasn’t there a writers’ strike in Hollywood?
@@MeimoonsOh yeah, I can't believe I forgot about it.
@@Meimoonscan you explain about the writer's strike?
@@MIchellaSaliba basically writers and actors stopped working until their demands were met to protest and prevent the use of procedural generation (ai isn't really an accurate name) to replace their careers
@@BookWyrmOnAString ohhhhhhh thank you btw happy new year to you❤️
It would be cool to see a redesign of Asha that includes a more dark/blue color pallet with maybe a purple ombre to represent the night sky, THEN when Star ads sparkles to her dress they look like stars in the night sky
I actually cried with your version of the story, plus the ending is validating, unlike eerything in wish. Thank for sharing your vision! For me, this is the actual story and not Disney's version ;'D
It's not perfect (because no story is perfect), but is significantly better than the original story. I actually felt things for & even kinda cared for your version of the characters. Awesome video!
Ok, but Magnifico was right. It IS bad to grant everyone's wishes. Some wishes counter each other, while some are straight out negative for everyone else, or everyone except the wisher. They posed it as him looking too much into simple wishes, but with little evidence that would support that claim. If he didn't really analyze the wishes and just granted them, he would be wildly irresponsible.
I'd love to watch this interpretation of Wish on the big screen, and i NEVER go to cinemas (mainly coz I'm broke 💀 lmao)
im loving all of the rewrites ive seen on youtube, all of them seem so interesting and entertaining and pretty solid from a critique perspective too
I really like how you rewrite the story, there wasn’t a dramatic change, but you make the story more meaningful. 😊😊😊
your video editing and quality are absolutely amazing. you are so underrated!! when i clicked on this video i thought i’d see sm more subs, but its shocking how underrated u areee!! keep it up tho, ur super cool :))
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!! That means a lot to hear!! :D I'll keep at it with more uploads hopefully!
Finally, someone who appreciates turning red like I do
A minor thing, but I think Asha could have had twin-buns to further pay tribute to Mickey.
That was so good! The concept of wishing upon a star- and us all being stars so we can grant our own wishes is actually a really good concept! I really like your take on the story!- it had a lot of heart!
I feel like the movie should've been animated in 2D animation because disney started in 2D and could be a nice callback to all of their previous animated films
I want Asha’s quirky personality to actually be a farce for work and when she gets home after work she’s just tired of everything and anxious about her future since she’s the only one who can provide for her family and it’s up to her to keep going
I plan to rewrite Wish aswell where King Magnifico has an Evil Brother from his backstory and he plans to take revenge from magnifico and idk how to continue to write story blablabla
You can have Asha grant the evil Brother's wish because she doesn't recognize the inherent with granting every wish until she inadvertently puts the evil brother on the throne. You can even have a friend be upset at Asha go for granting their wish because their wish was their goal and something they wanted to work towards. Asha granting the wish made the goal lose its meaning. And the villain is toppled not through a wish but through the people standing up to him because he got his wish to be king yes but he didn't have the backing of the people like Magnifico did.
Thats a pretty nice Idea
I have been waiting to long to find this kind of video I thought I was going to have to re write it myself after I watched it (when it came out on Disney +)
See I feel like the re-write missed the message they slapped on the cover: "Be careful what you wish for." From what I have observed Magnifico granted a few wishes, mainly those that were clear and benefitted the kingdom. So in my rewrite Magnifico sticks to that premise. In this tale he is the antagonist, but not a true villain. Asha in this case is a more naive girl, she goes along in a happy-go- lucky sort of way, but eventually starts to wonder why the King doesn't grant more wishes, and why he still keeps the ones he doesn't grant. In this version she makes the wish to grant her fathers wish, but the king doesn't grant it. She had written this down thus unlike the others she knows what the wish was and becomes the kings assistant after. Once inside (after a quick montage to indicate some time has passed) she asks why the king keeps the ungranted wishes, he explains that his magic doesn't allow for the wish to be returned without granting it. (In this case showing that the magic will automatically grant the wish unless he interferes). She then asks why not just grant them then? This is done during a Magnifico song where he pulls a wish down from the roof containment area and shows a wish where a man wished for all the women to love him (with the king explaining that this is mind control, and thus he refused), but during the song Asha sees her old man's wish and reaches out for it, firing off questions to keep the king distracted. In the process she frees all the wishes. Magnifico panics and tries to grab them all but fails, and the wishes escapes into the kingdom. Now the Queen would also be a villain in this story, but one made by her own wish. She had wished for power to protect her people, the king refused because it was too vague (and in a future flashback we can see him desperately trying to reshape her wish so he can grant it but fails) and she becomes a malificent styled mage. The wishes see everything fall to chaos, and the king throws Asha out, turning to the evil book in desperation as he tries to take back the wishes. Asha would then have her own wish granted, with a part of herself splitting off to become star. The story then continues with Asha trying to help people by granting the spirit of their wish in a way the king couldn't, as the king could only grant the one wish unlike Asha, so she regrants them. In the end Asha has seen the danger of granting every wish without thinking, but its a bittersweet ending with Magnifico unable to break from the evil book, and the queen's power being warped by her time fighting to keep the people safe (via imprisonment ala turning folks to indestructible stone) whilst also battling her husband who she deemed the enemy, the last act of Magnifico is to banish them both, warning Asha that he will never return to who he was, and to beware the evil he will become.
Even after I saw the movie, I already had an idea for how Magnifico's story could've been altered to fit more his apprenhension against granting certain wishes. Maybe when he was younger, he was the student of a great wizard. He learned much of his magical powers from him, and soon, he could use that power to grant wishes. Most of the wishes started out small, but his teacher warned him about granting wishes in such a reckless manner. But he ignored his warnings. It wouldn't be until a stranger learned about his power and traveled to his town. Using lies and clever words, he tricked the young Magnifico into granting his wish to become a king in order to help his homeland. The boy would grant it, but the new king would prove to be cruel and tyrannical, soon conquering neighboring lands for himself. The king would return to the town and pillage it, sending his men to kill Magnifico, to prevent someone from else from using the boy's power. Magnifico would flee from the ruins of his home. Blaming himself, he would use his power to create the kingdom of Rosas. He would continue to grant wishes for the citizens, but was hesitant about those whose wishes were vague. As he was tricked in the past, he will not allow the same mistake to happen. So he keeps these wishes up in his tower, he won't publicly refuse to grant a wish, but unless he can discern it will be used for the benefit of the kingdom, it shall remain behind lock and key.
So lemme get this straight... Asha is an unapologetic Mary Sue, whose flaws are protrayed as her biggest strengths, hereby cancelling out the fact that her flaws are her bad traits, thus making her a flawless character solely because she's the protagonist and the good guy in the film, and cartoon logic states that the good guys never do anything wrong and never have any flaws. Disney most definitely used AI to make this story, and you cannot convince me otherwise.
This rewrite has not been done by AI 🙌🏽 10/10
I enjoyed the rewrite you did for wish It’s such a shame that the actual movie wasn’t like that why does Disney waste so much good potential on movies nowadays
Wow u just made an entire plot by urself. and as far as i understood the movie ur interpretation is much better. yet you are so gentle about ur critic, and actually reminded us that it is most likely not the writers fault, which is i think is true. also ur rewhite really already gave me some emotions (well maybe because im lost in life and do need my own wish too) and i think its great, it means ur rewhite already has the meaning to be good. ur voice is soft, i liked ur simplistic style and ur thoughts, keep it up! ur doing great
Solution? make the queen the twist villain and him the prime suspect. He can even have the ideology of Not every wish should be granted, and she can hold the ideology that not everyone deserves to have their wish granted. Both coming to such a conclusions due to what happened to Magnifico’s backstory (expanded to include her) think something similar to Madara and Hashirama from Naruto.
Ok, here's how i think Wish should be for me... - Asha is a happy go lucky who wants to believe in the best of everyone - Magnifico is an Anti Hero, formerly like Asha, until his homeland was destroyed by greediness, now willing to let most wishes rot for the sake of keeping Rosas safe - Beings like star have been around before Magnifico's homeland was destroyed, but they left after that land was razed by its inhabitants - Magnifico willingly let some of them get their wishes to prove his point, and he was right - Sabino sang to raise the spirits of ppl after their morals are down when they realize their king was really protecting them, but only managed to uplift Asha - Magnifico's song is about how greed destroyed his past kingdom - Asha does a final "sing against" with Magnifico about how people can learn to be better, eventually followed by everyone, before finally beating Magnifico - Magnifico was going to exile himself after defeat, but was told to stay, and ends up as a storyteller to keep the new generations from repeating the grave mistakes of the past
That's a nice outline! But the big problem is that Magnifico has a wish too. And some of his subjects might genuinely like to get rid of their greatest wish (like killing someone or marrying someone else's partner) in order to live in peace. The magic system exaggerates a real problem. But it can't be consistently solved by anything but dialogue, compromises and societal rules/contract. Basically self-imposed regulations. Movie ignores it. Your outline addresses it To overthink even more: there's no indication that the stars or "personal wish power" can provide an equality of outcome. So this unchecked newly found power can make some of the poorest poorer, and some of the richest much richer (it was established, that the rich people can also buy wish-fulfilling services for their own sake Magnifico style). Also Asha should watch her back because of Robespierre-type figure (supercharged by the stars at that too), who won't stop at just overthrowing Magnifico
@@evennot Hence outline...i simply brought in the core concepts because that's generally the best i can do
asha should have her wish originally granted by King Magnifico,and as she slowly finds out abt the true nature of the wishes granted by the king,she tries to rebel back but her wish somehow bites her back and sabotages all of the progress she has made to save the kingdom of rosa (this way the quote "be careful of what you wish for" actually makes sense) and star's relevance could increase as asha could have wished on a shooting star as a last resort to fixing whatever crisis shes facing
My idea when i heard This is the thanks i get, was, why not make the king a second main character? Asha's story could be about overcoming her childish view of wishes, while her apprenticeship under the king helps him rediscover his love for his people. A classic Master and Apprentice learn from eachother and become better people core plot. Maybe she is the one who finds the evil book, and accidentally unleashes a pure evil force that is the driving antagonist of the plot... by being a lore accurate Genie granting wishes in the worst way possible?
Good video! What did you do to anger the YT gods to make your channel so underrated?
I just don’t upload as frequently as most do! But I’m trying to! Thank you sm!
i loved your analysis!!
I LOVE YOU’RE ANIMATION STYLE. It’s so cute.🩵💜
"Wish" is supposed to be Disney's magnum opus that celebrates Disney's 100 years of animation. Instead, it was a major letdown thanks to its reliance on nostalgia, comparisons to other animated Disney films, a poorly written story, bland animation, generic characters, and forgettable songs. So, I ask myself, "What if 'Wish' had a different version than the final result that we got? What if the story and characters were developed better? What if the film was a fully hand-drawn animated film with some CGI animated elements instead of a fully CGI animated film with a 2D watercolor style filter like the final version?" I asked ChatGPT to generate that alternate version of the film, and here's what it had to say: In the alternate version of "Wish", the story takes place in the enchanting kingdom of Rosas, where Asha is not just a young girl but the 18-year-old Princess of Rosas. As the daughter of King Magnifico and Queen Amaya and the younger sister of Prince Andrew, Asha carries the weight of royal responsibilities on her shoulders. The kingdom is known for its magical history, where the reigning monarch possesses the ability to grant the greatest wishes of their subjects. However, this power has its consequences, as the wishes are sealed away, creating a sense of longing and mystery among the citizens. Asha, being a compassionate and curious princess, becomes increasingly aware of the unfulfilled desires within the kingdom and yearns to uncover the truth behind her family's magic. Sabino, Asha's 100-year-old grandfather, is not only a wise figure in the kingdom but also the father of King Magnifico. Sakina, Asha's 86-year-old grandmother, provides a different perspective as Magnifico's mother, offering a familial dynamic that adds depth to the royal family's history. The film's visual style is a unique blend of traditional hand-drawn animation and CGI animation. Approximately 80% of the film, including the characters like Asha and her family and most of the scenery and objects, are meticulously hand-drawn, giving the movie a classic, timeless aesthetic. The remaining 20% of the film's environment is brought to life through CGI animation, seamlessly integrated to enhance certain magical elements and create a visually stunning and dynamic world. As Asha embarks on her journey to unravel the secrets of Rosas, her relationships with her family, friends, and the anthropomorphic wishing star named Star take center stage. The blend of animation styles accentuates the magic and wonder of the kingdom, showcasing the coexistence of tradition and modernity in this enchanting tale. The narrative still revolves around Asha's quest to understand the true nature of wishes, but now, her royal lineage adds an additional layer of complexity to the story. The dynamics within the royal family, their connection to the magic of wishes, and Asha's role as both a princess and a compassionate individual contribute to a rich and multifaceted narrative. Also in this alternate version, the character of Star undergoes a fascinating transformation. Instead of being a simple wishing star, Star is a magical human boy with the extraordinary ability to shapeshift into anything he desires. This includes not only inanimate objects but also various forms, creatures, and beings. His character is a blend of the mischievous and carefree spirit of Peter Pan from the eponymous story and the playful and whimsical nature of the Genie from "Aladdin". As Asha's love interest, Star brings a dynamic and enchanting element to the narrative. Their interactions are filled with playful banter, magical escapades, and a shared sense of wonder. Star's shapeshifting ability adds an extra layer of fun and unpredictability to their adventures, as he can effortlessly transform into different forms to aid Asha in her quest. Star's fusion of Peter Pan and the Genie's personalities means he possesses a timeless and adventurous spirit, coupled with a flair for theatrics and comedic charm. His boundless energy and ability to find joy in the simplest of moments resonate with Asha, creating a deep and magical connection between them. Throughout the story, Star not only assists Asha in her quest to uncover the mysteries of Rosas but also serves as a source of comfort, inspiration, and, ultimately, a driving force behind the film's exploration of wishes and the power of dreams. The romantic subplot between Asha and Star adds an emotional layer to the narrative, highlighting themes of friendship, love, and the transformative nature of wishes. The blend of their unique personalities and magical abilities contributes to the overall charm and enchantment of this reimagined "Wish". Also, I made a page for that alternate version of the movie. Here's the link: jhmovie.fandom.com/wiki/Wish_(2023_Disney_film;_alternate_version) So, what do you guys think of my story pitch?
WOAH WHAT, after hearing your idea on how to rewrite Wish It felt like I actually WATCHED a movie! With a plot!
really wish someone would hire a production team and make your movie the official wish XD it sounds really good! also you ending music is super relaxing
OH GOSH I LOVE YOUR REWRITE!!!! so much potencial in this film and it's so sad to see it wasted it.
Underrated this is so good
Oh my god. Your version is so, SO much better!!! Even if it was just a short outline, it moved me a hundred times more than the movie and it WORKED! Loved how you managed to really bring out the message! Dare I say … stellar work? 😉😘
The movie really feels like Disney is tryna appeal to everyone that it ends up appealing to noone
Omg, your re-writing gave me GOOSEBUMPS 😭😭😭😭
Ahhh this is such a nice rewrite! Great ideas :]
Omg I’ve planning to make a video just like this on my other channel! So many great points. I loved your ending rewrite- why did it make me more emotional than the actual film lol. We have a lot of similar ideas so if I do make that vid I’ll be sure to mention and link your vid and channel!
Imo, i think magnifico should not have been the villain, but asha's mentor against an unapolligetically evil villain that wants to destroy/consume the wishes maleficent style, however, it was attracted to the king's hoarding of the wishes instead of granting them as quickly as they should, and have her unite people on their wishes to be better, something like that, but magnifico doesn't fit as a villain to me
Thank you. I 100 percent agree.
Dang, this was well made. I've never watched Wish but heard a bit about it and you got me interested in checking out the movie just to see these almost comical storytelling elements of the movie haha. Your version of the movie was well thought out and really explores the gaps and jumps in character development (or lack of I guess...) and y'know, I never really did notice until now mostly every Disney princess protag has been the same on the surface lately for no real reason. The last movie I saw was the Princess and the Frog where Tiana absolutely killed it for me. (in a good way, she slayed) Gotta love a good struggle to success type story. I was able to follow along well because of how you laid it all out, so I'm glad your efforts were rewarded with a well deserved video blow up. It was a really relaxing watch. If you ever do this kind of video format again, can't wait to see :) mad enjoyable, great work
Perfect version! I love your Wish! Maybe Star was symbolic of Ashas magic? Thats why it was so small and new?
So far all these Wish reviews seem more intriguing than the movie itself. I haven't seen the movie but all these rewrites seem like such a better movie. One video I saw said the main character is the villain of the story cuz the king doesn't do anything evil until the very end. The king didn't force the people to give up their wishes, they did so willingly at the cost of maybe having their wishes granted. But all the people deep down know it's very unlikely to happen. A wish is granted once a month, so only 12 wishes are granted in a year and then there are thousands of people. The king would die before even half of the wishes were granted. With their wishes removed, they don't have a feeling that they are somehow missing something. Apparently the grandpa lived a whole life and wasn't depressed his wish wasn't granted. So when the main character learns about this, she seeks to break into the king's castle to steal back her family's wishes and thinks he's a bad dude for doing this to the people. She's literally being selfish and causing conflict when this doesn't need to happen. Plus, from one video in particular, the reason she didn't get the job was because she made a fuss about him keeping the wishes. If she'd had played it smarter, she could have hidden her true feelings, got the job, and then stole the wishes she wanted once she gained access to parts of the castle. Would the king notice 1 or 2 wishes being gone? I might watch this movie just to better understand how horrible it is 🏴☠️ Anyway, good video. Much better characters than the ones we got.
That was an awsome rewrite! Watching the movie I honestly thought it was heading to this version's grandfather arc, realizing he already inspired the next generation by inspiring Asha, also they repeated so much he was 100 that I thought that was foreshadowing that he was going to die 😅. Also also I thought that it was going to be revealed that the reason the King was hoarding wishes and only granting a few was because the wishes were the source of his power, so the more wishes he had the more powerful he was, so if he gave back the ungranted wishes he would have been left powerless. And given his backstory (what little there was) he would have done anything he could to never feel powerless again.
Magnifico is an amalgamation of Luke then Anakin Skywalker: First the burned out lose of home and then the addiction to the dark side. The vitriol is lost on me for the "We are all Stars". Scientifically, it is just the fact we are all both created and connected by the same building blocks of all things like stardust. I am new here and like your delivery. I wish you many years of successful vids, I'll be watching for sure.
(Disclaimer: I haven't seen Wish yet btw, I've only heard about it.) One thing that bothers me to no end, from what I've heard from others, is the missed opportunities in the characterization of Queen Amaya. Apparently, she and Magnifico were originally supposed to be an evil power couple (which sounds AMAZING). Going off what I heard from others, Queen Amaya is described as a loyal wife. She is or tries to be King Magnifico's support/voice of reason(?)/conscience(?), but ultimately joins the good guys and fights against him, and is mean/insensitive/turns on him quickly for no reason(?) as a joke? I don't really know, that's just the gist of what I've heard. *Anyway,* as a survivor of both spousal abuse for 3½-almost 4 years and childhood abuse from both my mom and dad, I find Queen Amaya's lack of psychological struggle to be a major balldrop on Disney's part. Disney didn't want Queen Amaya to be a villain, okay fine. Disney wanted Queen Amaya to join the good guys against Magnifico...ehhhh, bit more iffy, but fine if executed correctly, okay. Here are my notes on how Queen Amaya's arc could've been executed, and I'm going to include different options/variations. 1.) Original concept: make her a villain. She and Magnifico are evil partners in crime, the amazing villain power couple that we all wished for, deserved, and were robbed of. 2.) Make her a villain, but in the sense that she's so emotionally tied up in Magnifico and his manipulation, it's half Stockholm Syndrome/half "I love you no matter what, I know there's still good inside you." Basically, she knows what he's doing is evil, but she's committed to *him,* though not necessarily to his plan. 3.) Make her an attempted hero/twist anti-hero by having her join the heroes because she knows what he's doing is wrong, but she's doing this because she wants to try to redeem him. Maybe there's a plan formulated where she has the opportunity to "take the shot," but she ultimately *can't.* She doesn't join Magnifico, but when facing him, she can't actually fight him either. Maybe there's a moment where she's pleading with him and tries to reason with him, and he feels even *more* betrayed because until now, though they've had their disagreements, she's always been "on his side" and has never actively gone against him until now. 4.) Make her *appear* loyal to Magnifico and everyone on the outside, but have her ditch/betray him the soonest chance she gets because after years of putting up with his shit, she's super salty and her love for him has died like *years* ago. Basically make her a salty ex/petty queen, but for good reason and in a way that's well-executed.
Literally all of these work better than the movie.
@blueflare3848 thank you
I haven't seen wish nor will I but your story was so beautiful and powerful it even made me cry when the grandpa died
Lmao not even a minute in and the Isabela Madrigal thing came up. The first thing I thought when looking at an image of Asha in this film was "Oh this is cool fanart of Isabela with braids"
They could had made Asha related to the royals unknowingly. I mean her father and the king could had been brothers or distant cousins. Like her branch of family (or the very least grandpa) either got kicked out or walked out with the royal family and her quest is her finding out and having to fight against her newfound evil relatives.
I’ve recently gotten into the habit of analyzing good examples of writing in stories and understanding why they work, while also analyzing examples of bad writing, understanding why they don’t work, and trying to find ways to rewrite and fix it. It’s a good writing exercise, in my opinion and also just fun to do. I also enjoy seeing what ideas other people come up with. It’s interesting to think about what could have been.
Asha should of went towards a katara from avatar. Stubborn, hot headed but still caring.
I love it your version of the story, I really would like to see it in the movies!
This was a really good rewrite!
"I wish for a dragon to destroy the village" .... The story should have really be around the "Beware what you wish for" concept
1:04 is that a pirate hat I see? 👀
Honestly, I wish they'd leaned into the lack of informed consent with people giving up their wishes. Like, it doesn't seem like people _know_ that vagueness or potential for harm might disqualify their wishes from fulfillment? Like, if Asha had proposed the equivalent of employment offices helping people with their resumés, but for the wishes, so they didn't go ungranted for specious reasons; or filtering out 'you can totally achieve this yourself' wishes that don't need magical intervention.
I like your version of the story
@lightofthedeep what if the king's farm was burn down as the unintended consequence of a neighboring families wish to have the best farm, so he ventures out to find out how to un due a wish, because the wish made his land barren. Stopping here is a good set up for the good story. He discovers the power of wishes and sets out to protect people from the negative sides of wishes. A set up for the evil could be that he find the evil book as the only means to un due a wish. So he used the book many years ago to undue the wish and turn his farm into the castle, and his whole nice guy side is actually an act because he is already controlled by the evil book but it isn't reveal until Asha pushed him too far.
After watching Wish and rewatching the latest Disney movies I remembered the old Disney movies and princesses, and how their personalities were so different from each other, then I rewatched the old Disney princess movies, and I miss those personalities, Ariel, Mulan, Merida. When I watched the trailer I kinda expected Asha to have a more serious personality that was the vibe I got from her.
06:00 In the song “you’re a star” the animals actually talk about that everything is made of stardust. (I mean the water on earth is already older than our sun.) But I think for someone who isn’t interested in Astronomy that could be hard to catch. Like you shouldn’t need prior knowledge in order to understand the story.
You wrote an actually touching, good version of Wish. Nice.
Very underrated!!!
i want Magnifico to be the main character. i felt so bad for him being framed as 'the plain evil villain' even though he has a traumatic past and good intentions
As an aspiring writer this just hits deep how they thrown amazing stuff of concepts for better writing
You know what I think would be a cool magic system? I think it would work rlly well if magnifico was keeping the wishes and USING THE WISHES to gain magic ability, and then, at the end, you can have that big community take down of the people realising that because they are connected to the stars, that they could grant their own wishes. This also gives magnifico motive to not grant wishes, because he *needs* them to use his powers, and gives him more reason to feel threatened by star/want to defeat him, because he wants stars magic
You should be someone who works at Disney and make movies lol this is so good your story you made! Awesome Job! 👏🏻😁😆🥰❤🎉😂😊WE ALSO NEED THE OLD ART BACKKKKK I LOVE ITTTTTT LOL😂🤣😅
21:57 ok but why am I so invested in this, damn light 😭😭
it's nice to see these fan rewrites being cooler and interesting then the actual movie and now I'm motivated to my own some ideas I've had are like star people hail from a legendary magical land where star people reside and is like a mythical kingdom and the star people help grant wishes to those who needed it Magnifico is a star person which is basically like he originally originated from the kingdom where all the star people reside and I might take ques from Paradise Lost (yes by the way I'm gonna go pull a George Lucas and derive several stuff like classic literature and myths etc as inspiration.... and some tropes from TvTropes for some off reason) where his driving motivation and factor in that backstory being here due to him being the most proudest yet to him the most perfect out of them his fatal flaw is his own ego and pridefulness believing everything should be around him til which slowly started to weakened his relationship with the King and Queen of the Star Kingdom as well burned bridges then the straw breaking the camel's back in the form the star people turning their attention to the original ruler of Rosas, a king and philosopher under the name of Matias and something like he wished for stuff like him and his wife needing a child or something then things go awry as Magnifico then decides to well rebel against his leaders and leading an a coup where it resulted in the death of both the King and Queen of the Star Kingdom but... resulted in the baby prince being kept safe as well ultimately Magnifico's exile nerfing him and stripping him of his star powers and turning him seemingly human and then he married Amaya who was just as evil as he is and they decided to take over Rosas via the death of Matias and the disappearance and exiling of Queen Sakina (as for Sabino idk what to do with him probably in hiding somewhere), as for the both Matias and Sakina's daughter they raised her as her own Asha being a bit more on the serious side being a bit of an inept mage as she's dealing with her parents Magnifico and Amaya gaslighting her and taking the same parent techniques as Gothel and Frollo as well trying to learn to be a sorcerer like them and there's the fact her friends mainly Dahlia work as a scullery maid in the castle and the rest of the seven also work in the castle Star Boy whom I would nickname Sirius as in the constellation of the name meets Asha and he does bring some joy into her life and others lives and secretly does give everyone in Rosas's actual wishes and desires to come true, he's usually a bit cheerful and somewhat chill and he also encounters the seven Magnifico and Amaya's motivations are... get everyone's wishes and so Magnifico can become full star man hp and make Amaya a star person as well by the way why the people of Rosas in my one don't bat an eye that their ruler got suddenly went bye bye without a trace and being replaced by Magnifico and Amaya is because maybe just maybe him and Amaya placed some laser guided amnesia spell to forget kinda like what King Candy did to the inhabitants of Sugar Rush he basically had magical spell to force them to forget about King Matias and Queen Sakina oh yeah for Valentino make him the cute animal who shouldn't talk Amaya might have a Lady Macbeth like character about her probably and a stupider idea I've had which is her being the Starscream to Magnifico's Megatron though more subtle around to her husband Sirius also has mini star serving the role as the tagalong cute sidekick who also doesn't talk and some honorable mentions Asha discovering the truth about her real birth parents and Magnifico's past and what Sirius's comment to her about her parents I'm A Star is adapted out the third act gets interesting as Magnifico turns into a demon star monster form while Amaya joins in the fight where it turns into a fight between Asha and Sirius against Magnifico and Amaya then where it provides a challenge to both Asha and Sirius where Sirius almost dies and Magnifico attempts to siphon off Sirius but then maybe Sirius gets revived with Asha becoming a good mage now reviving him then Sirius goes basically full super saiyan to Magnifico and Amaya defeating them both
I get why they focused on the Wishing Star since it's in the company's theme song but I think it would have been a better celebration of Disney's history if they used fairies in the story as well, fairies are such a huge part of classic disney and fairytales are called fairy tales for a reason. Imagine if it was a kingdom where fairies and humans lived and the humans adored and served the fairies cause the fairies had the power to grant their wishes with magic, but the fairies didn't do it for free, they made the humans serve at their beck and call and maybe even abused some humans like snow white and cinderella were abused. Imagine if we not only had a evil king and queen but an evil fairy king and queen, like a mix of Maleficent and Mother Gothel, who spent all their time thinking about ways to gaslight the humans into believing only fairies could grant their wishes. Maybe Asha has been toiling away trying to get her wish granted but the fairies keep asking stuff she can't manage (impossible tasks are huge staple of old fairytales), and then the star falls from the sky and Asha is the one to find him and both of them plan to use his magic to help Asha complete the tasks to get her wish granted and he does it without expecting anything in return, this makes Asha realize magic should be freely used to make people happy and she teaches that to the humans and the fairies, so the whole time the queen and king would be trying to stop Asha and the Star cause they want to preserve the status quo, but in the end Asha and the star are able to teach the fairies how to be generous with their magic. The fairies in old fairytales like Brothers Grimm were prideful super powerful beings that you didn't want to offend or they would turn your child into a frog, but Disney's fairies are such goody two shoes (with the exception of Maleficent, just like in the tale of the Brothers Grimm), it would be cool to have a story about why there are fairies like Maleficent and there also fairies like the Fairy Godmother in the Disney canon.
Ok I had this one idea about the queen being the twist villain (with hints) but this is better lmao
Your ideas are very good.
Alternate title: A ramdom person doez better than a disney AI- Uh I mean "writer"
I wish they would have used the original script because it would have been better, and we would finally have a romance story again. And a Disney power couple! That would have been awesome!
Atp im waiting for a group of animators and writers to make their own movie LMAOO
I have an idea to completely revamp this cartoon. The setting will be in a steampunk style, and the actions will take place in a kingdom ruled by King Raymond and his wife Alice. Raymond presents himself to the people as a benevolent and generous monarch willing to fulfill any wish of his subjects, but in reality, Raymond has no intention of granting people's wishes because he wants to fill the sphere of desires with them, capable of fulfilling any of his desires, namely to become a god. When people give up their desires, they begin to lose themselves, becoming lifeless and submissive, which benefits Raymond twofold. To force people to give up their wishes, he uses various machinations like self-promotion campaigns, raising scenes, and lowering salaries. The main character is a 16-year-old teenager named Greg, who is cool-headed and sarcastic, skeptical of wishes because he believes one should achieve everything themselves with family. He has a kind and wise grandfather named Julius, who in his youth was a guitarist who brought laughter and joy to everyone, but one terrible day he received a hand injury and could no longer play. Julius gets tired of living like this and gives up his wish to play the guitar again. After some time, Greg notices Julius' strange behavior; he becomes lifeless, although he used to be very sociable. He tells his parents, who dismiss it as just aging, but Greg doesn't believe it. He recalls how his friend Kelly spoke of a similar case with her father, but Greg ignored it then, considering Kelly's quirky character. Now he realizes Kelly was right, and together they visit the royal palace to ask Raymond why their relatives started behaving strangely. Raymond brushes them off, claiming it's just a side effect that will pass once he fulfills their wishes. But Greg and Kelly don't believe him and decide to spy on him. They reach Raymond's laboratory, where he fulfills wishes. They hide and see Raymond pressing a button, revealing a secret room. They enter and see a sphere containing people's wishes. They overhear Raymond talking about his plans, and they decide to leave to tell everyone the truth. But Raymond notices them and accuses them of treason. Luckily, Greg and Kelly escape, but now they are on the run. Along the way in the forest, they encounter a fallen star who takes the form of a teenage boy named Lyric. He is positive and kind, introducing himself to Greg and Kelly, saying he is a star come to fulfill people's wishes. Greg and Kelly explain the situation, and Lyric believes them but doesn't see Raymond as evil, as Lyric embodies goodness and sees everyone as friends, which slightly annoys Greg given his cold demeanor. Together, they must save the kingdom from Raymond and prove their innocence. When Raymond learns of Lyric's existence, he decides to capture him to extract all his magic to fill the sphere of desires. Towards the end, Greg and Kelly gather evidence against Raymond and give it to Raymond's wife, Alice. But instead of exposing her husband's wrongdoing, she decides to destroy the evidence because she truly loves him and doesn't want anyone to come between them, thus becoming the second villain in this cartoon. (Yes, I know this may seem like graphomania, but at least I tried, unlike the creators of the cartoon. Please tell me what else to add to my version of the cartoon.)
Could you just imagine if this was 2d animated? I know that they said they can’t anymore but at least the animation would be fixed
