Disney's Wish is just the Wish version of Tangled. the way I went from "I can't make a video about this movie" to "let me actually read the whole art book in the middle of the night and make a 30-minute video analyzing the animation" is very on brand I must say. Also, I highly recommend the Tangled art book if you love the movie as much as I do 💛

  • i wish this movie didn’t exist 😭 also if anyone knows a real-life Flynn Rider hmu
  • What I loved about tangled was it wasn't afraid to have TEETH. Mother Gothel is one of the most insidious, evil villains in Disney history for how she emotionally manipulates and abused Rapunzel. and the fact that it gets genuinely dark and a little violent towards the end, it's amazing that Disney allowed that.
  • One thing I noticed is that there are no hard shadows in this movie. It makes it look like cheap 3D and like everything is smooth
  • i'm just like... who puts a main character in MUTED PURPLE when all of the backgrounds are MUTED BLUE?? meanwhile rapunzel is in SOFT PINK/PURPLE in a BRIGHT GREEN world. contrast = interest 🤷🏼‍♀️

    Everything new I hear about Wish makes me hate it more, whereas everything new I hear about Tangled makes me fall deeper in love with it
  • You talking about the colours made me think "so Wish is the sad beige of animations"
  • On Asha's outfit, her purple is so MUTED, if it was more saturated it would suit her but a bright yellow and red would make her glow so much more, and would force animators to make her surroundings, like her home,or the kitchen with friends, more warmer too to symbolize her being connected with people.

    As someone who watched Tangled multiple times, I'd like to add something; The movie gets more charming as you watch it more and you get to notice the little things, the characters faces while they have interactions, the pretty delicate details that you'll only notice on your second to third watch that makes you appreciate the movie more and it's animation
  • Any time you show pictures of the artbook, I just start sobbing. We were so robbed of a better movie...
  • I think the desire to be an anniversary film is the ultimate reason why it's so bland. Like instead of making a movie Walt would be proud of, like the creative ideas in the concept art, they just copied themselves without realizing the true magic behind Disney: creativity and a love for art. Walt was a businessman, but he was an artist first and foremost.
  • Wish is so stewed in references to the point where it stops being charming and becomes, "Have you ever had an original thought before?"
  • Another aspect that ended up bringing Wish down was the comparison between the two main characters' personalities. They're both supposed to be adorable, quirky and awkward, and with Rapunzel it makes sense; she's been in a tower her whole life, she has no social skills so she's both afraid and too trustworthy of everything around her. This can be shown by being obviously scared of the guys from the tabern and seconds later listening to their stories. She was scared of the unknown but didn't hesitate to humanize people usually seen as misfits. This can also be explained by the dancing scene in the Kingdom; who cares if no one was dancing, she wants to dance so she dances, a normal person probably would have never done that. Her personality connects with her story. Asha was quirky and awkward because... well, that's what people like I guess, a bit similar to what happened with Mirabel in Encanto. They're awkward cause the script says so, not because their story builded their personalities or their upbringing changed the way they see the world; and that's why she feels so empty during her I want song
  • The first time I saw Wish, the music, the animation, I said one thing, “Too many hands in the pot!” I’ve worked on group projects where there is not a cohesive vision, rather too many visions. I recognized this almost immediately. And it turns out, this was pretty close to what happened
  • @trinaq
    I honestly wish that they'd committed to having the Queen be part of an evil couple, alongside her husband, as was initially planned. Her being good just didn't seem to be explored enough.
  • The fact that they were able to create an ENTIRE TV SERIES just from the movie Tangled just goes to show how much care was put into the original
  • @mossimur
    Not me tearing up at the reunion with no sound because it still chokes me up. I'm such a baby when it comes to movies and when I watched Wish and didn't even tear up, my fiance said "Wow, that bad, huh?"
  • Tangled is me starting to draw something out of a random surge of motivation, and Wish is that same piece of art after I start drawing for a couple hours
  • I find it crazy how Enchanted, was a better movie homage to Disney. It poked fun while telling a nuanced story about fairytales and true love. Plus Giselle is a great Princess
  • @amethsys
    The really went children's hospital colour theory with the purple dress
  • wish is a perfect example of a creative crew having wonderful ideas, like the star character being a love interest, the queen being evil, just for the out of touch executives to veto everything that could’ve made it more interesting just to try and appeal to the masses and completely failing miserably
