I have not seen this movie in the theaters yet but holy smokes I am in love—most especially the songs. I’ve been obsessing over “This Wish” for the past few days.

[whencartoonsruletheworld]

saw that disney100 movie or whatever. started crying about 2d animation and all that

"Leave you here I don't wanna

I wanna…

Love you as one does…"

April 2024 edit : now with an official Redesign ^^

Like a lot of people, I was semi-disapointed by Disney's "Wish", even more as I read more and more about what it could have been. So I try and comfort myself with my own version of Human!Star, a more original-like Asha and Magnifico and Amaya's unholy matrimony.

Because being a couple of narcissistic entitled tyrants doesn't mean you can't have a loving relationship ^^

Wish 2.0 is on its way!!!

🌟 IT'S OFFICIAL!! 🌟

Me and a couple of folks are gonna remake Disney's Wish (for free, for fun, to honor Walt Disney's legacy properly, no commercialisation or anything of the sort)

We are still a growing team and would be happy to find more people to help (especially storyboarders/animators and voice actors).

For now, you can enjoy this little sneak peek of our two main characters's ref sheets, Asha and Star.

Please share around and spread the word!! And don't be shy to DM me if you want to join the team! The more the merrier!!

I swear to God Disney I need you to stop being cowards right now and just make a canon autistic princess at this point. Enough with this "adorkable" and "omg she's so quirky" bullshit.

things I loved abt Wish

Since it needs more positivity in the tags:

That it's a fairytale movie. I adore fairytales and Disney magic💜

That it has a flamboyant and evil villain. It's been too long

Asha's character. She was so sweet and loveable. Idk how to explain it but she has this warmth to her voice and expressions that really enhance her character to me

That it has a female hero/male villain dynamic. Unless I'm forgetting someone there hasn't been a Disney princess that opposes a male villain for the majority of their movie. Jasmine, Tiana, and Mulan face male villains but only for a short scene in their movies. There's something badass to me abt a teen girl defeating a male villain💅

The astrology/mystical aesthetic of this movie. Just looking at the visuals of posters and certain merch bring me euphoria.

The simplicity of the plot. I was so happy in the theatre when Asha said she would steal the wishes from Magnifico and return them to the people. I know a lot disagree with me on this, but after years of Disney attempting to take risks with overly ambitious and preachy plots it was refreshing to be able to sit back and enjoy a lower stakes movie. I get people wanted something grander for a 100th anniversary movie, but for me personally it's simplicity was comforting and refreshing.

At all costs. It's one of the most beautiful songs in all of Disney to me. They need to make more songs of that tone.

Asha's design. It just appeals to me immensely.

The animation. It's fairly unique to me and I loved it. Especially the watercolor backgrounds.

That Asha, a Disney heroine has friends. Especially loved Gabo and Sabeena.

Amaya. People think she didn't play a big enough role but I think she got enough screentime for how unfortunately short it was. I loved how she stayed by Magnifico's side while he showed cracks in his armor, tried to real him away from his dark desires, but eventually betrayed him because he ended up so far from the man he once was. I think it's an important lesson to teach women that they aren't obligated to stay with a toxic man. But I also love the end scene between them. I believe she still cares for him and talks to him often. ☺️

Star. I thought they would be an average sidekick plot device but I think most people would agree they have this big charm to them. They don't talk but are so expressive. And those giggles and chirps. 🥺

How active Asha is in her movie. From opposing Magnifico out of the gate. Making her wish. Breaking into Magnifico's study. Throwing that bookcase on him and saving her parents. Rallying all her friends. She isn't just said to be a good person. She puts herself in danger so many times all to bring happiness to other people. She's kind of badass

King Magnifico's complexity. At least for a Disney villain he has multiple traits to him such as being kind, vain and paranoid. It's interesting to see a king villain cuz he already has power and status so his goals aren't typical. It's unique to see a villain who is both benevolent and a madman in the same film. The fact that even in his madness he was in a backwards way just trying to protect his people is so unique cuz most villains don't care at all abt protecting anyone. He is a classic villain but not a classically evil one.

Valentino. He's a 3 week old goat that wears pajamas. He fits Asha's aesthetic perfectly.

That it is filled with so many Easter eggs cleverly woven into the story

There's more but this is getting long. I just love this Movie man💜

Like king magnifico, Asha has Experience what its like to have your wish Shattered in front of you, she was Very Young when her Father got sick and all she wish for was for him to get Better and she Wholeheartedly Believe her wish will come ture for she does live in a kingdom where wishes come ture and her father told her that "the stars are there to Guide us, to reminds us to Believe in Possibilities" but however her father did not get better from his Illness and he Passed away when asha was only 12 years old, After all that wishing her wish Didn't come ture and her wish actually Broke In front of her, However unlike king magnifico even Though the stars Didn't Grant her wish when she needed them the most, she Didn't stop Believing in the stars or Hold a Grudge Towards star when she met them, Nope she keeps her father's Belief in her heart and was very grateful when star came to help her, Asha doesn't want what Happened with her father to happen again with her saba so she's very Determine to make sure he gets to live out his dream Before he Passes away but this Doesn't mean asha only cares about her saba even though she did ask king magnifico if he can Grant sabrino's wish, but asha Wasn't looking for sabrino's wish when king magnifico showed her the wishes Doing the "at all cost" scene she just so happened to see sabrino's wish. Asha STILL wanted to become king magnifico's Apprentice for Other peoples wishes she Actually says to magnifico "And that's why i want to work for you." when he tells her why he Does what he does, Only for asha to find out that 98% of people's wishes will never come true and they can't pursue their wishes themselves either All though There is nothing really wrong with them, that is what makes asha upset, she's not upset that king magnifico doesn't grant every wish Imaginable, she's upset that it's basically Illegal for people to pursue their OWN HOPES AND DREAMS! You Would be upset too! How is she Selfish in anyway for that???

And about Asha being "adorkable" yeah, she can be very Awkward sometimes but its only Because of king magnifico. Every time asha is being "adorkable" is because she is Nervous or Scared of magnifico,

Nervous about meeting King Magnifico for the First time.

Scared King Magnifico will see star.

Scared her Plan to lure king magnifico away for the castle will fell.

All of asha's "adorkable" Moments were out of Fear Because they Involved king magnifico in some way, meaning asha's not quirky for the hall of it She's Actually just scared of a Grown man trying to kill her😭 it actually makes sense for her to act the way she did Around king magnifico and was probably a foreshadow on how their Relationship would go.

So um yeah...i kept seeing people do this meme and i wanted to do it :)

So… Magnifico was Disney, right?

I mean, you got his dabbling in dark magic corrupting him from a ruler who makes selfish decisions behind his benevolence. One could liken him to how Walt Disney likely started out with decent intentions for art on top of money.

However, those calling out his unfair working conditions as has been historically documented show that he became a lot more about business than about letting artists flourish. A baton that has clearly been passed from each CEO to the next.

I mean, Asha's posse and their song would totally be what would've been sung during the Hollywood Strike. The big bad is even defeated not by one lone hero rising against the odds but the whole kingdom coming together in solidarity. In a union, you might say.

It's honestly a good take on acknowledging that Disney's founder wasn't exactly squeaky (wink, wink) clean the more he ran the show.

Furthermore, the Wishes here feel like IPs here. Some are granted and allowed to flourish. Many others are rejected and hoarded even. Why hoard when you could keep back? Well, the king though Saba's wish to inspire with music could spark a rebellion against him.

A real life analogue could be that of the Disney Vault where certain stories aren't sold anymore because of taxes they can totally afford to pay but don't want to because that's... beneath them.

Even more pointly are other companies creating their own vaults for shows that don't even get the dignity of going out and getting cancelled for their own shortcomings. Returning certain IPs, ones not born from studio heads first, back to the original creators would also increase competition that a megacorporation would fear.

I mean, we rave about The Amazing Digital Circus now but it's only one in a long line of small studios and small creators working not within a studio system that's liable to screw them over. Rather they take their Wishes and work their own magic.

[fantasygerard2000]

After addressing numerous times that Magnifico has always been a shady ruler at best and straight up power hungry narcissist at worst, to which few refused to acknowledge, it's best to focus on the other person in the room and the "supposed" scapegoat to Magnifico's actions into villainy, Asha.

Like with Magnifico, Asha's character gets a lot of misreadings and unlike with Magnifico, she gets most of this mischaracterization which is flat out unfair to borderline accusatory. A blatant example of this is from post I saw on Twitter about her "pushing away the wishes during At All Costs to get her grandfather's" which apparently shows that she's selfish. However, like in my previous post about Amaya, I wanted to discuss more about the Asha we have and less about comparing the version detractors made up.

Asha grew up in a loving community, having being taught by her father, Tomas about how the stars are there to remind her to always have hope and are there guide her when she struggles. As stated in a previous post, Asha knew what grief felt. She dreamed for her father to get better but when he died, that dream was crushed. However, she held what her father taught her, to always have hope in the darkest times and support those who been in her position.

She applied for the position to be Magnifico's apprentice, as she has heard from her community that he built her home to be a place where wishes and dreams can come true through kindness and generosity. I like to think that her father's death, despite her grief and loss her experience has encouraged her to pursue in helping others who are going through the same. So, what better help she can do than be the apprentice of the man he built this kingdom on, so she can encourage him to pursue in helping his subjects.

When Magnifico interviewed her, she felt like a failure after embarrassing herself before him til she reminds him about her father, to which Magnifico knew and was familiar at some point, so it's likely he has heard that one of his known subjects, a philosopher has passed and that Asha is his daughter. They connected by expressing their desire to make their kingdom and community a place for those who experience loss and hardship to support each other. This discussion is what lead to Magnifico letting her in his private chamber where he kept the wishes.

Upon seeing her saba's wish, she kindly asks for Magnifico to consider granting it as it was his 100 birthday, to which Magnifico started to act oddly as if she offended him. She even apologizes when he reminds her that apprentices get their and their families wishes granted after months to a year after servicing him. When Magnifico tells her that her saba's wish to inspire others as "dangerous", she opposes this as having leaving with Sabino for all her life, she knows that he would never encourage to insight a rebellion that will destroy his own community.

Asha learns from Magnifico that he does not intend on granting most if not majority of the wishes for he considers it his duty to protect his kingdom. Asha considers that he could just return them and encourage his people to pursue to achieve their dreams, but he tells her that he believes achieving dreams are a struggle not worth chasing and so he makes his people forget what their dreams are so they have no aspirations to pursue them. To her, she sees this as something what Rosas is against. People forgetting their dreams and taking away their ability to pursue them.

At the ceremony, she now sees Magnifico differently and how the ceremony, an event that used to be a hopeful occasion now as a ritual where the people in her community have their dreams taken and locked away forever. Just when she has little hope of her saba's wish being granted on his birthday, Magnifico grants someone else's, much to her and her friends and family's dismay. After being told that he declines her application to be his apprentice and that he'll "protect her family's wishes forever", she felt hopeless about the future of her family and community. The future of her as an apprentice of a man she thought understands her and working with him to help their community is crushed.

Despite this, she has the courage to tell her saba about how unfair it is for his wish can be deemed dangerous to grant. However, upon hearing him dismiss her for telling so and asking her if she wants to break his heart, she apologizes and leaves. Presumably realizing that she unwillingly made him to feel the trauma of loss and hopelessness she experienced.

Remembering what her father taught her, the spark of hope reignited as she seeks to the stars and makes another wish, but for her family and her people to achieve their dreams. This "selfless" wish causes Star to come down from the heavens to the earth. Their light shines throughout the island as its inhabits that are illuminated in it felt a loving wondrous hope.

Upon meeting Star, she asks if they can grant wishes to which she quickly apologizes upon realizing that she came of as selfish. Upon explaining to Star about her family's wishes, Star agrees to help. When they retrieve Sabino's wish, he sees what he dreamed of. And upon putting in back what was his, Asha sees the saba she grew up with as whole and complete.

When Magnifico arrives to her home, he accuses her of stealing what was "his". With courage, she speaks up to him that he should not take people wishes and they deserve to have them back. However, he refuses to listen and punishes her by crushing her mother, Sakina's wish before them. In this bit, I interpret Asha reliving her trauma of loss as Sakina's reaction to her wish getting crush is similar to how a wife was informed of her husband's sudden passing.

On the boat, she breaks down, feeling responsible for her mother reliving that feeling of loss again as she knows that Magnifico will do the same to the rest of her community. When she looks at Star, she is encourage to return and save the wishes and stop Magnifico for good.

After managing to get her friends to help, as well as the Amaya the queen, she conducts a plan use herself as bait to lure Magnifico away from the wishes. Seeing how Asha puts herself into dangerous situations before and how they won't be with her this time, Star gives Asha a piece of them, their magic as they care about her safety.

When Magnifico successfully manages to capture Star and absorbs the remaining wishes, she succumbs to hopelessness again as Magnifico tosses her around as she is nothing to him, and knowing him, knows what his people are to him now. Finally remembering her father's advice and what Star taught her, she wished. Soon, her people also wished as together, their hope brought Star back and stopped Magnifico.

After freeing the wishes and returning them to their rightful owners, they start to do what they should've done when Rosas was built, encouraging each other to pursue and achieve their dreams. Seeing Asha selflessness and the struggles she faced to help her people, Star rewards her with a magic wand. She refuses, because she was terrible with magic but more so thinks she is unworthy. But after encouragement from her friends and family, she accepts the wand and the role of fairy godmother, to help others at their time of need and give them the tools to pursue their dreams.

Asha'a and Wish's moral resonates with people who dream of pursuing a career they dreamed of having but the struggles are too hard to overcome. With encouragement from their own fairy godfamily and support from each other, they are able to achieve their dreams.

My hypothesis about Asha having trauma of losing her father is something noteworthy as her losing her father is painful, but it's her hope that drives her to go through that pain and makes it so other won't go through what she had. And when they do, she's their to help them go through it.

Say what you will about the execution, but Asha's story will always be universal to those who want to pursue their dreams and inspiring others to do so.

Y/N and Asha gaze up at the stars...
