In the past few years, I haven't really been big with Disney's recent animated movies as while I did like "Soul" and "Raya and the Last Dragon", the other works like "Luca, Encanto, Lightyear, Strange World, Elemental and Turning Red" I wasn't really big on. "Wish", being the 100th Anniversary for Disney, manages to be bland and boring at its best.

Throughout, the animation is solid as there are some good colors, solid structures and designs. There are some good musical instrumental backgrounds as well. I do appreciate that the story isn't based on a sequel, remake or something that already exists and Disney tries to introduce new characters and settings. But the issue is that the narrative is way too familiar from other stories and it lacks the creativity, energy and charm of the good old Disney princess movies which makes it pretty difficult to fully engage with emotionally or to care for. The lack of energy and bland style causes the characters to not be investing as well since none of the characters were engaging or interesting at all. However, the voice performances from the cast members are pretty good. Ariana DeBose and Chris Pine both provided really good voice performances. Including Alan Tudyk as Tudyk is great as usual with his voice works.

The animation, as I mentioned, it's solid as the design models, colors, and movements are pretty good. With the animation using a mix of computer and watercolor, there are some really nice moments but admittedly, there were some animated movements or looks that felt odd, bland and slightly distracting. The dialogue is pretty clunky, the direction was boring, and the singing or musical moments, despite one or two songs being not too bad, the singing and song-writing wasn't good as some of the sound felt like it was written from AI. Like some of the voice and singing sound effects were pretty off. And as a whole, it was mostly boring.

For this being the 100th Anniversary movie for Disney, it's quite embarrassing since there could have been any other movie that could have been pretty fun and all but it seemed Disney decided to go with the bland route.

Overall, children and families will be entertained but this one is definitely one of Disney's weaker movies.

There is absolutely zero talent, invention or creativity in this disney movie. The first thing you'll notice is the atrocious animation style which was done by computer, bit rendered to look sort of like it was drawn. Reminds me of animated series from about 20 or something years ago. The last movie, Raya was bland and poorly told, but at least the animation was breathtaking. I am watching the Angry Birds movie right now with my little kid and that looks WAY better than Wish, and that is 8 years old for crying out loud. Did any people work on this movie at all? The plot was probably generated by AI, was the animation also? Where did that budget go? Paychecks? If so, I want to work at disney as well, because you apparently no longer need to be exceptional or talented.

If you ever wondered what'd happen if a committee of 'play it safe' producers would come up with if you gave them Chat GPT, look no further. On top of that, the end credits feature previous characters from previous sucessfull movies. All that does is reminds you of better stories and characters. It is kind of sad really. The reigns at disney had fallen to lesser men.
