REVIEW:
Wish is not a very good movie. In fact, it is one of the weakest Disney animated films in ages. Too bad, since it is also one of the few 2D traditional animation films that the studio has released in quite some time. But the story here, about a ruler who can grant wishes, but mostly takes them away and keeps them for himself to give himself power, is predictable at all times. The concept is fine, but the villain is revealed early on and nothing changes from there. We get no new revelations or plot turns throughout the film. Even the music isn’t quite up to par. Considering that Disney often takes a fantastical idea and then uses it to open up a world of possibilities, with movies like Onward, Raya and the Last Dragon, and Soul (to name just a few from the last handful of years,) this one doesn’t quite make the cut.
