Wish "A Musical Event" Trailer

Minor nitpick on this trailer...you're telling me that you are using clips from other Disney animated features to promote this film and you didn't use freaking Pinocchio. You know, "When You Wish Upon a Star" Pinocchio? Ah well, still looks and sounds great!

Wish is set in Rosas, known as the Kingdom of Wishes, is a fantastical land off the Iberian Peninsula. People travel to the Rosas to give their wishes to the magical king who promises to grant their desires...someday. Asha is an idealist who “makes a wish so powerful that it is answered by a cosmic force��a little ball of boundless energy called Star. Together, Asha and Star confront a most formidable foe—the ruler of Rosas, King Magnifico—to save her community and prove that when the will of one courageous human connects with the magic of the stars, wondrous things can happen.” (Walt Disney Animation Studios)

Wish stars the voice talents of Ariana DeBose (Asha), Chris Pine (King Magnifico), and Alan Tudyk (Valentino the  goat). Chris Buck and Fawn Verrasunthorn are directing from a screenplay by Jennifer Lee and Allison Moore. The film features original songs by Julia Michaels and Benjamin Rice and a score by Dave Metzger.

Disney’s Wish releases to theaters on November 22, 2023.

Wish (U): The Latest Disney Animation Finally Charms After a Lacklustre Start.

#onemannsmovies #filmreview of "Wish". #DisneyWishMovie. Disney's 62nd feature is a game of two halves. So it's half decent. 3.5/5.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “Wish” (2023). “Wish” is Disney’s 62nd animated feature film. It’s released as Disney turns 100 years old – Walt and Roy Disney founded Disney Brothers Studio on October 16, 1923. So, with such a legacy of great films behind it, you would think this would be developed as a fitting tribute. And, to a degree, it is. Bob the Movie Man Rating: Plot Summary: Asha…

More than romances and situationships (and I love that kind of thing and am a shipper heart), I really want to see Armand's biological family, Benji and Sybelle and do hope they stick to the books when it comes to that.

Armand briefly reuniting with his parents is my favorite TVC moment, it made me cry like nothing in this world ever had and washed over my soul in the most devastating yet beautiful way. It went as far as touching the very core of my soul. I think I'll never be able to forgive it if Rolin doesn't go there.

And as for Benji and Sybelle, I believe most of Armand's growth and healing happened with them. Sure, other people such as Lestat, Louis, Daniel, Bianca and Riccardo played a role in that too (the latter more when he was still human, though), but saving Sybelle and Benji was the biggest shift in his life for me. And not only him protecting them was important, but he has so many parallels with those two as well and it did him wonders to have such connection with both. I really do hope we can see it.

I'm not a native English speaker, so maybe I'm missing some wordplay or slang but to my ears ''ThroOoo CAUTion to every warning SIgn'' can have two meanings:

I see a ''warning sign'' (something looks dangerous, I have a bad feeling about this, etc.) so I ''throw caution at it'' (Use my knowledge and common sense, so I can succeed anyway.)

I see a ''warning sign'' but I ''throw caution at it'' as in, completely ignore all the warnings and abandon my common sense which tells me not to do something.

And I have a feeling it's the second option that's more likely. It's possible to make a song about wanting to do something that is dangerous. Disney themselves have done it in the past. But the wording in this song is so terrible.

Julia Michaels and Benjamin Rice are the songwriters. I've never heard of them. I wonder what the rest of their music sounds like.

The only other trailer song is the ''funny'' chicken song.

There also will be a villain song. (It's been 7 years since Shiny in Moana.) I hope it's better than the ''I want song''.

About the “This Wish” Song

What is with this line:

“And throw caution to every warning sign”

What?

The phrase is ‘throw caution to the wind.’ As in, “Abandon that hesitance by imagining yourself throwing caution into the wind, where it will be carried away.”

If you say, ‘throw caution to every warning sign’ it sounds stupid. The mental image is, “throw that feeling of caution at big stop signs and warning lights.” Why? Is she afraid of warning signs? Are they dangerous in and of themselves?

🙄

No. It’s just really stupidly worded. Sounds like it was written by AI, and the bot was trying to guess what word came next in the sentence. It sounds like Michael Scott trying to write an impactful sentence but it looks like this:

What makes it worse is that it’s at a really high and energetic moment in the song, so it pulls a lot of attention in, and honestly, I’m going to see the movie, but it makes me hate every trailer.

“throOoo CAUTion to every warning SIgn—”

Hamtaro: The Dream of a Nutcracker

Based on Sanrio's 1979 film "Nutcracker Fantasy", Tchaikovsky's 1892 ballet The Nutcracker and E.T.A. Hoffmann's 1816 story "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King".

Narrated by Hamtaro, he tells the story of Ragman, a mysterious old man who roams about the city looking into people's houses and turns children into mice if he catches them up past their bed time after when the fog silently rolled around the houses at night in the mid-2000s Toronto, Canada.

Clara (played by Sandy) is excited about her friend Fritz (played by Stan) coming to visit the next day and refuses to go to sleep. Her Aunt Gerda (played by Panda) tries to frighten her with stories about the Ragman, but Clara says she's too grown up to believe in him. Uncle Drosselmeyer (played by Maxwell) startles them with his arrival. He gives Clara a nutcracker doll, which she adores. She promises to go to bed immediately if she can keep it.

Clara awakens in the middle of the night to find her nutcracker gone. She sees a group of mice carrying it down the stairs and follows them into the living room. As she takes back the doll, she's confronted by the leader of the mice, a two-headed rat queen (played by Boss). The queen orders Clara to hand over the nutcracker, but she refuses. Clara is knocked out just as the nutcracker springs to life to defend her against the mice.

The next morning, Clara finds herself back in her bedroom. She tells her aunt about the mice and her doll being missing, but Gerda insists that she is talking nonsense and is ill with a fever. In her delirious state, Clara goes down to the living room and stares at the grandfather clock. Thinking she sees Uncle Drosselmeyer inside, she climbs in, only to be scared by the Ragman.

She wanders, looking for Drosselmeyer, until she finds herself in a palace. There she sees a portrait of a girl identical to her and a glass coffin containing a sleeping mouse person. A king and a group of mourners appear, believing Clara to be their Princess Mary returned. After Clara corrects their mistake, King Goodwin (played by Oxnard) explains that she's in the Doll Kingdom. They were at war with the mice, led by the two-headed queen Morphia. When defeat seemed inevitable, the dolls surrendered. However, the King refused to agree to Morphia's final term: Princess Mary must marry her son, Gaar (played by Howdy). As punishment for refusing, Morphia cursed the princess to look like a hideous mouse and lie in sleep until King Goodwin agrees to the marriage.

King Goodwin gathers all the world's wise men in hopes they can find a way to break the curse, but all their ideas are far fetched and illogical, and an argument quickly breaks out between them. Despairing that no one knows how to help, Clara leaves the castle and wanders the streets. A street singer points her in the direction of The Queen of Time (played by Jingle), who is known for having the answer to everything. Clara goes to her and asks if she knows how to save the princess and defeat Morphia. The Queen of Time uses her magical crystal ball to spy on Morphia, revealing the only way to save the princess is to destroy the queen's source of power, the Shell of Darkness. This can only be done if the magical Sword of Pearl is wielded by someone with a pure heart. The Queen of Time provides the sword, but it's up to Clara to find someone to carry it into battle.

Clara returns to the castle, believing Franz (played by Stan), the captain of the guard, has a pure enough heart. She tells him what he must do in order to save the princess. King Goodwin promises Franz his daughter's hand in marriage if he's successful, and Franz leads the doll army off to battle. They arrive as the mice are celebrating Gaar's eminent marriage to the princess. Just as it seems the toy soldiers are losing, Franz destroys The Shell of Darkness and kills Morphia - but not before she places a curse on him, turning him into a nutcracker doll.

Clara carries the Nutcracker back to the palace, where she finds the court and King Goodwin are celebrating Princess Mary (played by Bijou)'s awakening. Seeing Franz's new state, the princess abandons the marriage promise and calls the Nutcracker a piece of wood. Clara leaves the kingdom to wander in search of anyone who knows how to return Franz to human, unaware that Gaar survived the attack and is following her. She eventually comes across the Watchmaker (played by Dexter), who tells her the only way to save Franz is through an act of true, unselfish love. Clara declares she loves Franz, but the Watchmaker says that isn't enough.

Exhausted from travelling, Clara falls asleep. She dreams that Franz is human again and they enter a magical kingdom made of candy. As they're about to ascend the stairs to live happily ever after in their castle, Clara's foot becomes stuck. Franz continues without her, leading Clara to grab his foot and beg him not to go. She wakes up to realize she's clutching the Nutcracker as Gaar tries to pull him away. She begs Gaar to spare Franz and kill her instead, but Gaar insists Franz must die for killing his mother. As he's about to stab the Nutcracker, Clara uses her own body as a shield. This frees Franz from the spell and destroys Gaar.

Clara wakes up in bed, with Uncle Drosselmeyer beside her. As Clara is recounting what happened and trying to ask Drosselmeyer what he was doing in the clock, Aunt Gerda comes in to say Fritz has arrived. He comes in, identical to Franz. Hamtaro narrates that Clara and Fritz lived happily ever after.
