#wish 2023

I enjoy analysis explaining what a story was trying to do, how it failed and how to improve it.

What I don't enjoy is when people skip the "what it was trying to do" part and instead overhaul the entire thing until it becomes a whole new story.

I'm not defending Disney's Wish but some people add so many changes to "fix" it that it becomes a completely different story.

Also one time I came across a piece of artwork that I thought was an original character until I read the description which said it was a "fixed" version of Charlie from Hazbin Hotel. I legit could not see the resemblance.

It be like if someone made a steak I didn't like so I "fixed" it by making apple pie and said "Now that's a steak."

Early visual development for Wish (2023) by Griselda Sastrawinata-Lemay and Brittney Lee.

An earlier version of the film saw Star take on a human form as a magical, glowing character inspired by Peter Pan. Ultimately, the creative team reconceptualized Star as an ethereal, playful entity resembling Mickey Mouse. "Now Star and Asha have an emotional journey. They are soulmates." -Allison Moore.

Haven´t watched the Wish movie, but somehow I came across some early concepts and premise of the movie and I can´t believe Disney just threw them away. They threw away shapeshifting twinkly star boy!

[adventuretolkienlover]

Honestly, this make me so sad. I would have preferred this story so much. THIS feels like a love letter to Disney's past. I'm sure others will have their opinions on it. But this pretty much sums up mine.

(I kinda hope they'll do a remake someday with this instead. That's probably wishful thinking. But hey! I can dream. Lol.)

EDIT: People seem to think I mean a live action remake. I don't. I mean I would want it completely done over. That's a bit out there, but like I said, I can dream. It's just my fantasy.

Alrighty, here's my first bit of fanart for 2024! Asha and Starboy from Disney's Wish - more specifically, Wish's concept art :''') I haven't seen the movie, but I think I can confidently say that I would've been more interested in seeing it if they'd kept the romance/soulmate dynamic from the early concepts.

But anyways, here's my take on Star's design, and also a little cheek kiss for Asha! :D Also, I never made an official "Happy New Year" post, so I just wanted to say thank you all for your support in my art and writing endeavours! I hope this year is a kind one for you, and may all your wishes come true <333

We could've seen the first villain couple but they decided to go on a generic route and made her the good one-

[slayjensen]

💫 Asha concept art 💫

God I wish they committed to a design that better represents the Amazigh people.. it really just feels like they copped out and went with the generic princess face and this boring ass dress.

She at least deserved to keep her traditional jewelry and ornamented hair..

Disney concept art is almost always more dynamic than the final movie designs..

disney animation execs going on-record last year saying that they couldn't do 2d animated movies anymore because of the supposed "limitations" of the medium and then immediately losing to a 2d animated movie on awards season is too perfect

[salmonpiffy]

My interpretation of Asha and Star from Wish (2023) based from early concept designs of them

Yeah, I'm coping so hard

[sidsinning]

Wish man,,,,just makes me sad bc it FEELS like a lot of creative and talented people wanted to tell a unique story, but at every turn The Big Man kept twisting and turning their material to be as safe and sanitized as possible for focus groups,,,,

the team originally wanted it to be 2D animation to celebrate Disney's 100 years of filmmaking, but were told it'd be too limiting (thanks for firing a bunch of the 2D animators back in 2013, Disney) and to change it to the standard CGI

every concept idea that was changed made the film worse/more generic

ex. potential shapeshifting star boy character became head empty blobby mascot that would probably sell well as a toy

ex. ROYAL VILLAINOUS COUPLE (THE FUCKING SLAY THIS COULD'VE BEEN??? THE "FUCK EVERYONE BUT MY WONDERFUL S/O" DYNAMIC???) changed to evil man with holier than thou good wife (that is immediately ok with kicking him to the dungeon for being evil with no hesitation at the end lol)
