This is a bit random, but I like that on your Wish 2 poster you used the logo from the cruise ship. I thought it was funny especially because apparently when the movie was announced some people confused the two? I don't mind the Fantasia font they used for the canon logo but I do think it could have looked fancier. Sorry, I just have lots of little niche specific thoughts like this. Your poster art is really pretty too! Love the colors! :)

Awwww thanks! Yeah I tried using the movie logo but tuen I saw the alternative and just liked that better (plus I knew I had a font that would work with it xD)

I think one of the problems I had with Wish was that it strangely seemed to lack stakes. Like we're told how important the wishes as a part of a person but I felt the consequences of not having the wish wasn't really explored and no one ever felt like they were in danger

Yeah, they just sort of got...sad. Which is a reap shame because showing a world were people were devoid of hope/motivations/ect could have been a very compelling stake if they were willing to push through with it

In the Disneyverse, is there somehow a fine line of difference between the Moroni Olson/Tony Jay/Birth By Sleep!Corey Burton Magic Mirror and the Hans Conried/Happy Haunting!Corey Burton Magic Mirror? Also, is Willoughby the assistant mirror spirit from the 1951 Walt Disney Christmas Show a part of the Disneyverse?

The only spirit in the Magic Mirror in the DisneyVerse is Voland, who is ultimately malevolent. Any depictions of the personality of the Magic Mirror in Disney promotional materials are non canon to the DisneyVerse. As such no Willoughby, sorry.

Ok but I'm really curious I wanna hear your Wish rewrite ideas!!!!!!

What we were promised: "An origin story for the Wishing Star!" What we got: not an origin story, the Wishing Star just happens to be a character.

So, here's how I would rewrite it to honor the original premise and the finished film. (And no, there's no Starboy.)

🌟 Asha and the Wishing Star 🌟

Asha tells the story of Rosas, of how Magnifico learned magic, married Amaya, and founded their kingdom, primarily as a prologue to the (movie) audience but also revealed as a story for the new visitors to Rosas, whom she still greets and leads on a tour like in "Welcome to Rosas". After the tour she visits her friends in Dahlia's bakery where the whole "King's apprentice" ambition is revealed, and Sakina and Sabino arrive - a bit early for the Wish-Granting Ceremony, but they also wanted to come and wish Asha well in the interview. Sabino is still turning 100 that day, and has been waiting for his wish to be granted for 84 years (if my math is right.)

Queen Amaya still comes to retrieve Asha for the interview. Of course, Asha continues to hold the true values of Rosas at heart, just as in the finished movie, and Amaya sees this in her. In the king's study, Asha is very interested in all of the alchemy equipment, etc. but instead of approaching the dark magic book, she is repelled by it, staying away and then immediately being drawn towards the glowing wishes even though they are hidden from her at first. This is what gets King Magnifico's attention swiftly, rather than Asha touching the evil book's glass. Both of them hold wishes in very high regard and know them to be incredibly precious and needing protection ("At All Costs") - for very different reasons, of course, but that's not obvious yet. Asha still hopes for her grandfather's wish to be granted, but Magnifico refuses, still saying that Sabino's wish - to create something that inspires people - is too dangerous and vague, and that Sabino is better off not even remembering his wish. At the Wish-Granting Ceremony, King Magnifico still makes a show of refusing Asha's wish and dismissing her as a possible apprentice.

Later that evening, after the disagreement with Sabino who doesn't want to remember a wish he'll never see granted, Asha makes "This Wish," and of course, Star answers. He's a little hurtling ball of boundless energy which leaves Asha so confused at first, but then when she understands he came here because of her, she tells him about the wishes trapped by Magnifico, and they're resolved to find Sabino's wish and free it. Asha, however, already questions her own abilities compared to Star, which leads to the song "I'm a Star," about how every living thing has stardust in them - but Asha herself has always been able to perceive wishes in a way that few humans are truly able to. However, no star is able to use the full extent of their magical power without a wish being made to them, and once that wish is granted, a star must return to the sky to watch over all the world.

King Magnifico is alarmed by the light that shone when Star first arrived, and like the movie, has to be persuaded by Queen Amaya not to turn to the book. Instead, he gathers the people to claim Asha to be a traitor and ask them all about the light; Dahlia and the rest of Asha's friends cover for her with endless questions as Asha and Star get into the tower to get Sabino's wish, and Star is curious about the dark magic book, only for Asha to pull him away, saying she doesn't know how, but she's certain that it's incredibly dangerous. They retrieve Sabino's wish and escape - but not before witnessing Magnifico's spite towards the kingdom for questioning him and his turn to use the dark magic book ("This is the Thanks I Get?!")

Asha returns Sabino's wish to him, and asks Sabino what wonderful music he'll create first, only for Magnifico to arrive and confront them, crushing Sakina's wish as he does in the movie and Asha pulling down a bookcase on him for her and her family to escape. Asha sends Sakina and Sabino to a nearby island as she knows that Magnifico is a danger to all the kingdom, and that she must free all the wishes so that people are able to leave. She enlists her friends' help.

Queen Amaya witnesses King Magnifico with the dark magic book and staff and understands swiftly that a line has been crossed there's no coming back from. Worried but initially uncertain, it's not until the gathering in which Simon's wish is "granted" and he names his other friends as traitors helping Asha, when Star is able to get a message to Queen Amaya.

Asha and her remaining friends regroup, alongside Star and Valentino, and resolve to defeat Magnifico, joined soon by Queen Amaya ("Knowing What I Know Now"). At nightfall they enact their plan, with Asha once again acting as bait in the forest and aided by a magic wand while Dahlia and the others getting into the tower with Star and Amaya's help while Magnifico is seemingly distracted. But the trick is revealed as Magnifico sent Simon to pursue Asha and the real king has been waiting in his tower to catch them all in their treachery, trapping all the wishes and blocking out the sky. Asha's friends alone manage to escape him.

Star initially fights Magnifico and actually does fairly well for a few minutes, being more zippy and annoying than actually a threat, before Asha makes it back to the kingdom and is dragged to the top of the King's tower so he can make an example of her. Star attempts to interfere as Magnifico attacks Asha with magic, but Star is thrown aside as Magnifico derides him, saying "how could [Magnifico] have ever thought [Star] was a threat? He's nothing to be worried about at all, how can he grant even the measliest wish?"

Asha attempts to defend Star, challenging Magnifico, only for him to carelessly throw her from the tower - seemingly to her death. Star dives after her, too late to rescue her before he finds her motionless on a roof below, surrounded by Dahlia, Hal, Safi, Bazeema, Gabo, Dario, and even Simon who had been freed from Magnifico's control and come to find his friends. As it seems all is lost, Star mourns with Asha's friends and tries to comfort them all with gentle nose-boops, before he lays himself against Asha's heart, and begins to glow, brighter and brighter until both of them are blinding golden - then the glow fades, revealing only Asha remaining. She stirs and wakes, bewildered at first before her friends tell her what Star did. When Asha sees her heart glow the way that only Star had made it possible, realizes that not only has he had given himself to restore her, but he had also bestowed her with his magic, that he trusts her deeply to be able to defeat Magnifico. Wiping away her tears, Asha vows that she won't let Star down, and looks up to the tower under the darkened sky. She says she needs her friends, and that since Star touched them with his magic as well, she knows they cannot fail.

Having disregarded Asha and Star the moment they were out of sight, Magnifico descends to the stage where he always has them gathered and taunts the kingdom, snaring them all in his dark magic, saying there will be no more wishing on stars and none of them will ever escape - before Asha appears. She attempts to fight Magnifico, but he overpowers her again and throws her to the stage floor, and as Asha looks out at the trapped kingdom, she remembers that stars can only use their full powers to grant a wish, and she entreats the people of Rosas to make a wish ("This Wish (Reprise)"). As the people make a wish, Asha shines brilliantly and transforms into a radiant form (I particularly imagine this redesign by by @princess-ibri but you all are of course free to imagine her design however you want but it's definitely more than just sparkles!) and is able to rival King Magnifico's powers for the first time, disarming him and causing him to actually fear her. He attempts to flee from her, disappearing into the palace and charging up the tower. Asha does not pursue him, but as she commands, starlight breaks through Magnifico's dark clouds, causing them to begin to thunder and lightning.

Magnifico flees up the tower and finds all possible escape routes blocked by Asha's friend armed with magical weapons that were taken from his own chamber, determined not to let him get away. Upon reaching the top of the tower once more, he attempts to threaten the kingdom, trying to restore the darkness over the sky. However, the wishes of Rosas as granted by Asha's power are too much for him, and as he backs away from the seven friends, raising the staff, a lightning bolt of sinister green dark magic strikes the staff, causing a reaction that causes Magnifico to fall from the tower as the staff breaks into pieces. He is trapped in the mirror-like jewel, unforgiven by Amaya, and will be locked away behind the protected glass that once housed the dark magic book.

With Magnifico defeated, however, the wish that Asha made and Star answered is fulfilled, and now Asha must ascend to the stars in Star's place to continue watching over the world. She breaks the orbs containing all the wishes, allowing them to be returned to all of Rosas, and begins to bid good-bye to her friends, who will all miss her. Most of all, Asha says, she is sad that she will never be there in person to hear all the wonderful music that Sabino will write to inspire the world.

Sabino tearfully embraces her, and says she will know of it, he will make sure.

After seeing that the kingdom is in good hands under Amaya's care - that the queen still holds all the values of Rosas at heart - Asha rises into the air, transforming into a beacon of light that soars away through the stars. The star she becomes glows brighter than the rest in the sky, so the people of Roses will always know her.

For the ending scene, Sabino and Sakina sit outside their home, looking up at Asha's star self in the sky, as Sakina says "Asha will be happy. Her greatest wish was always to help people. So long as people wish, she will be there." "Yes, she will be," says Sabino, and he picks up his lute, picks a few notes, and then begins to compose the first lines of 'When You Wish Upon a Star'. "And she will be there to grant wishes wherever they come from."

The end credits shows Asha's star overlooking moments from all the original Disney animated films throughout history. Maybe she didn't actively participate... but she was there, watching over them all.

🌟 This was lots of rambling and no it was not proofread lol. Anyways I just think that Wish missed a lot of potential and this at least is my perfect rewrite. 🌟

Hope you don't mind me referencing your redesign @princess-ibri! It's just my perfect idea of Asha getting the incredible transformation she deserved.

Alicia and the Kingdom of Starlight part 4! Lets gooooooo

[princess-ibri]

What are the origins behind Witch Hazel from 1952's Trick or Treat, and is she canon to the larger Disneyverse?

According to some of the Italian Disney Comics, hwr backstory is that she was born a witch in a place called "the Witch Country", and was sent out into the world to get people to believe in magic again.

Since she is a human in a world largly populated by anthropomorphic animals, I'll sat that the Witch Country is probably located in the Everrealm, and she's crossed over into the Ducktales reality.

Here's what she looks like for anyone who hasn't seen her before!

She's in a pretty cute Donald Duck cartoon where she helps the triplets get candy from a stingy Donald on Halloween :)

Does Dorothy end up living in Oz in the Disneyverse?

Yes! As do Uncle Henry and Aunt Em, per the later books in the Oz series. My hypothetical Disney Oz would hit all the main beats from the orginal Baum books

[princess-ibri]

Retta Scott (1916-1990), former animator on Disney’s Bambi and Dumbo, illustrated the Golden Books publication of Cinderella in 1950. Beautiful work from a great artist.

I just stumbled across your blog so maybe I don’t fully understand your disneyverse but I saw you talk about morgana being tritons step sister and I was wondering what your thoughts on that were/an explanation for why you think step siblings over full siblings and if there’s any canon to that.

I mean I know that Morgana isn’t a really thought through character and conflicts some of the earlier lore so I was wondering what you thought about the whole thing

Sorry if you’ve answered this alr or if this doesn’t make sense

You're all good! So basically on this blog I'm doing my own Disney multiverse called the DisneyVerse, where I try to tie all the movies (or at least the ones I like) into one timeline, and I come up with more backstory for the characters to flesh them out more/tie into the greater timeline narrative.

My backstory involving Urusula and Morgana and Triton's relationships can be found here:

And here:

But basically, I take the orginal films as the hard canon, and ten just take from the many different Disney spinoff materials and pick and choose which peices I like from those to build out my expanded universe :)

[princess-ibri]

How was Wonderland created?

Just the way any other world in the DisneyVerse was. Magic and science and whatnot. It's a pocket dimension that touches both Our World, the Everrealm and the Land of Dreams.

[princess-ibri]

Have you ever done anything for the fairy tale The White Cat?

I've done one drawing yes!

[princess-ibri]

Are you going to do a Wizard of Oz rewrite for the Disneyverse, or do you basically see the story as being just like the book?

Ah I've already done some Wizard of Oz stuff for the DisneyVerse here!

[princess-ibri]

A year ago, I made this first sketch. Some time ago, I thought it would be an interesting idea to have a group of three very powerful characters from the Disney magical universe: the wizard Merlin, the genie of the lamp and the Enchantress who cursed the beast.

In the original idea, I thought about including Mushu, but then I discarded this. I liked the idea of "three magical beings" better, not four. Three is a powerful number. Although, Archimedes surely has a lot to say about his importance

When I designed The Enchantress, from the beginning, I was sure that she had to be a tall and beautiful woman. Not completely perfect, because she has a big, upturned "elf" nose. But I love the idea of the satellite crown XD

Made fanart of @annymation's Kingdom of Wishes (with designs by @uva124)✨

These three specific lines lived rent-free in my head, can you guess why lol

Anyways, go read their fic if you haven't yet! It's a really fun and emotional read!

More Wish 2 stuff. Just gonna post it as I doodle it I think instead of trying to build up chronologically cuz I don’t want to burn out. But here’s some concept doodles for when Asha and now Human Star meet again

Star would still be nonverbal in this story and communicate with his star dust pictures, which I think would be a nice pair up with how I’d have Asha display her magic, using her wand to draw objects into reality (gotta use those drawing/animation skills they showed her using!)

And then I did a little moment of Asha and Maroula talking later in the story when they’re in the Land of Dreams

Maroula's been fighting against Lamia for almost 100 years now (I figure Magnifico's magic helps keep him and Amaya young), and while she doesn't regret taking up the quest she was given, she too is beginning to be worn down by her responsibilities.
