Excerpt From Disney’s “Wish” Review

Every new animated feature released theatrically by Disney is a promise. A promise that young viewers will see themselves in the film’s protagonist. That the musical tracks and songs will have the audience singing their new favorite tune as they leave the theater. A promise that the story will feel fresh and surprising, and yet have the familiar comfort of a children’s fairy tale. And finally, a promise of a true Disney classic that will be carried in the hearts of fans from generation to generation.

“Wish” does not keep that promise.

Over the last few decades, Disney Studios has continuously reinvented itself in an effort to stay relevant, while keeping its core mission to provide family entertainment for all. The illustrious House of Mouse stands strong on the traditions and values it has attempted to uphold for a century. As the company celebrates its centennial anniversary in 2023, the standards and expectations for the megacorporation are higher than ever.

It seems that with “Wish,” however, Disney was hoping to fall back on its stellar reputation rather than create something meaningful and long-lasting. Instead of making a film that will echo through the ages, “Wish” is a self-congratulatory bit of grandstanding with all flash and no substance. The film feels more like a slapdash put-together television special for Disney’s 100th anniversary rather than the high-quality, memorable storytelling that the studio is famous for. Between the minimum-effort storyline and so-so musical numbers are countless references to classic Disney movies that are far superior to this one.
