Does anybody remember the days when Disney animated movies were treated like events and that you couldn't miss out on them when they were in theaters?
Oh yeah
Yea I remember the 90s lol
This year had been bad to companies; Disney is just the most high-profile, evident by the fact Disney will finish the year either number 1 or 2 in the boxoffice. But I do agree with you 100%, direct-to-streaming is the equivalent of straight-to-DVD ....it cheapens the brand in our minds.
Yeah this one felt like disney is trying to mimik...... disney?
@@AustinBurkedon't be a sean chandler and only write or upload reviews for mainstream films.
Hard to call it a misfire when a good Disney movie has been the exception lately.
Yeah but for what they were going for with the 100 year anniversary thing, and making this a celebration of that, I think this one missed that mark.
??? we're a bit unfair to Disney cause it's Disney, but there's a chance they end the year on top, this is how badly everyone is doing. I mean just look at Universal for example: Just this summer they had so many flops: FastX, Teenage Kraken, Book club, Society People, Strays, Asteroid City, Renfield, Voyage of the Demeter. That extends after the summer as well with really bad films: FNAF and Exorcist are the two worst-rated films all year. I'm sure I'm leaving out so many bad films cause Universal is prolific. They're saved by two big hits and a few moderate ones, but they don't easily stride ahead of Disney when they're supposed to be at their worst.
Same thing with Sony, Lionsgate, Paramount and Warner..... terrible year.
Like Universal, Disney had some wins: Guardians, Little Mermaid and Elemental; all received A's from audiences and did well; all three started weaker than expected but legged out well.
@@aishaalamoudi599 I'm mostly talking about the quality of the films themselves. Though yes box office performance stems from that
@@aishaalamoudi599 Warner... terrible? I didn't hear about Barbie bombing. No mention of Oppenheimer from Universal? How did that do? I hear almost billion box office is pretty decent.
@@greggibson33 These are exceptions evident by the fact that Disney's Boxoffice will finish 2023 either on top or a close 2nd. Universal and Warner had way too many flops as well this year. It was a terrible year for every studio.
It's so annoying that throughout the first act they kept hinting at King Magnificio tragic backstory that could've explained why he does what he does but they completely abandoned it during act 2! So many unfired Chekov's guns!
100%
I agree. I wished they would have fleshed out Magnifico a bit, but overall I enjoyed the film.
I took my three and six year old. They were both glued to it, totally engaged the entire time. I had fun watching for the Easter eggs and enjoyed the voice acting, but that's about it.
The movie was good, my Dad and I actually liked this film. But my favorite modern one is Encanto for sure.
It's pretty embarrassing and sad to know that the movie's screenplay and story was co-written by the CCO of Walt Disney Animation Studio. As a CCO, you expect something big from the leader herself when she also dropped the ball in telling this story
It's almost like Disney hires based on things other than talent.
She wasn’t trained in the Disney mastery. She just got lucky with Frozen.
@@mehmetadembarisseverShe probably wasn’t the only reason Frozen wasn’t a success.
@@TF2Fan101 As a director and screenwriter of that movie, she still got a lot of credit for it
Love your review man. It sucks Disney is just going downhill. I was really hoping this one would be a hit.
At least it had a straight forward villain. Disney hasn't had one since Tangled and that was 13 years ago and that's including Pixar. And that one character looks like Snow White had a baby with Doc
No! I don’t know what you and a lot of people are smoking, Magnifico was a terrible villain! They set up a potential tragic backstory for this guy, but then they were like fuck! People don’t like villains with depth, we have to make him petty for the sake of being petty. And by the third act is motivation is lost and unclear. If you give us a petty villain, you have to go all the way with it. If you give us a in-depth villain, you have to go all the way with it. Yes we want villains again, but we want GOOD villains. Not half assed villains.
I'm convinced AI is already writing for Hollywood
The reactions to this film had been bipolar. The song are really great, so if the people who dislike it disliked the songs, which they did, then that gives me hope...cause the songs gives me vibes.
Great review Austin and I glad you review this movie

Yo Austin, Please review Blue Eye Samurai and Scavengers Reign.
I was slightly interested in the movie not because of the story, but because of Chris Pine's villain song. I guess listening to the song seems like a better choice than rushing myself to see this movie in theaters 😂😂
Unless you have kids, I agree haha
@@AustinBurke I hope you have kids someday Austin 😂
@@15CandlesI think he has a baby
'Wish' has faced its share of criticism, but I find it to be an enjoyable movie that has been unfairly judged before its release. The blend of 2D and 3D animation seemed jarring on the internet but worked in the theatre, offering a visually captivating experience that sets it apart from traditional animation styles. Additionally, the vibrant soundtrack greatly contributes to its appeal. I hated the music for both "Frozen" and "Encanto" so it's a breath of fresh air to me. The melodies were more appealing and I missed the straight up traditional villain songs. The choice to make it a 'happy' villain song one was surprising to me.
It's unfortunate that some people were quick to criticize 'Wish' even before it hit the screens and people seem to be running with that now that the movie has been released. Preconceived notions often overshadow a film's merits, but I believe that every movie deserves a fair chance to be experienced and appreciated. Despite initial skepticism, I loved it. Along with "Elemental" both Disney and Pixar have surprised me this year.
Encanto’s my favorite recent one! Since we’re looking at a Disney movie, have you thought about doing 20 of your favorite animated Disney movies?
Good idea
I had seen Encanto and Raya and the Last Dragon last month before my 36th Birthday!
Peter and the Wolf is so rewatchable 😊
Sadly, 'A Disney Misfire' is the norm rather than the outlier.
Why do people act like Disney is uniquely bad compared to other studios lol.
@@Anthonycheesman33 Don't recall comparing Disney with other studios. But thanks for putting words in my mouth. 😆
@Anthony33431 probably because this was supposed to be their 100th anniversary and they didn't even try
Can someone tell me whether or not the premise of this movie even makes sense? It’s about wanting to have wishes granted by giving them away? Also, once you give them away, you can’t remember what they were? How does that make sense? How would you know that your wish was granted if you can’t remember what it was? Are the things that the characters are wishing for achievable through hard work or are they fantastical, like the ability to breathe under water? If the wishes are achievable, why do they need to give them away? Are the characters just lazy? Also, doesn’t the main character wish upon a star? Why couldn’t everyone else do that too? In the end, the main character becomes a fairy godmother. Isn’t that kind of the same thing as the evil king? Does she now grant wishes? Why can’t the characters just work for what they want?
As Disney fan im still looking for this movie, but when i saw those trailers i had feeling that there was something little bit fishey.
Great review Austin and take care and stay safe 👍.
Thank you my friend
@@AustinBurke Your welcome 👍.
I enjoyed Wish. Great animation and songs. Magnifico could have been fleshed out a bit, but overall good film.
I just watched Disney's Wish for the first time last night. I've been hesitant to watch it because I've been hearing a lot of mixed reviews but after watching it; I can easily give it a 3/5. I loved the story, world building and characters however; the animation was questionable and most of the songs didn't fit.
Yeah, better watch Nimona, pals.
Hope the procedure went well!
It did! Laying in bed for the rest of the day. Kinda nice haha
Hi Austin! Happy Thanksgiving! Will you watch and review the new Studio Ghibli movie, The Boy and the Heron?
Just got a screener yesterday 🔥
Yess! Can't wait! @@AustinBurke
Hi there Austin! Happy Thanksgiving to you!
Same to you!
The story had a cool premise with the wishes; however, they dropped the ball. It felt like a template movie that had too many callbacks to Disney's earlier works. If they focused more on telling a fully developed story and less on how many easter eggs they can shove in, they could've made a compelling movie. In the end, it just feels like it should've been short.
I’m a little late to your review but a fantastic movie of their approximately 5 upto this point hands down has to be ENCANTO it’s definitely not PERFECT but their efforts in the last few years especially there’s no comparison not to mention their politics are getting in the way of their products to the point I’ve but checked out out this point aside from their short film last month called Once Upon A Studio
I like the movie
Are you going to review SALTBURN????
Oh yes
I haven’t seen the movie but I’ve heard the music is really bad, and the animation looks so weird.Asha literally looks like a clone of Isabella from Encanto and has a quirky dorky personality like every princess since Rapunzel and it’s god damn getting old. The talking goat and star are only in the movie to sell merch and have butt jokes. 200 million + budget and this is what Disney pumps out? Just embarrassing
If this movie is an hommage to classics, it fails! None of the side characters are memorable, the animal sidekick is not funny, none of the songs are good except '' I make this wish! '' ; the villain's motivation changes for no reason, the climax was lame and rushed (Defeating a wizard with a song is not impressive or cool) The animation is ok but it's not enough to make the movie good.
It’s not a bad film, but nothing about it is memorable. There is no Let it Go, Valentino doesn’t have many good jokes, if any. The message itself is like an updated, ‘coolified’ checklist of princess film must haves. The ensemble cast, while certainly talented, fails to give life to any of the supporting characters, and the turn is utterly unearned and completely against what we are shown of the character’s personality. All in all, not bad, but not good either.
This movie looks like a long video game cutscene
I predict that your review on this movie would get a 50% & I was right.
You mean another Disney Misfire?
I just saw it and it was amazing!
Excited for you to see Poor Things! Such an amazing bonkers of a film.
I can’t wait to watch it
I'm curious why would you give it a 50, when most of what you mentioned are bad things, a few couple here and then "good" things, but overall bad and still a 50....
Be harder Austin!!
That’s what she said
@@AustinBurke 😂😂
I told my daughter back in the day Disney made the most magical movies like Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast; she responded by telling me; bull s**@! But seriously, Disney has flatlined.
Every comment I see is about how Disney sucks . Maybe I’m an asshole but Disney was never the studio I expected quality from even in the 2000s lol.I mean it’s not like Disney is dreamworks .
DreamWorks is as inconsistent as it gets, wdym?
@@user-mz2ne4yh2t that’s literally what I said lol.
Dreamworks has its MANY inconsistent movies. Yes it has its many amazing movies but there have been many periods with the studios where they were treated like a joke because of the bad movies they put out.
Bro today Dreamworks just released Megamind 2 and im pretty sure Disney even at their worst *cough* Chicken Little wud never make something as bad as that one
This looks like yet another Disney borefest and forgettable film.
I disagree completely about your assessment of king Magnifico’s transition. I think he is a human man that has worked his whole life to create a safe community for all people. But fear and ego take hold as he’s challenged. He even says he never wanted to go to dark magic (which had already entranced him)!
Asha isn’t even 18 and she walks into a job interview like she knows more than a man who’s devoted his life to his people and tells him he’s doing it wrong, with out the slightest effort to see where he’s coming from! In all fairness King Magnifico is a handsome man who is tested beyond others because his good looks cause doubts on his ability! But it all comes down to red pill/blue pill. And throughout his travels and his search of knowledge, he’s found what works for him and the kingdom he’s created. No one is in shackles, no one is forced to stay, and no one is even forced to give their most sacred wish! And in the Beginning all the towns people seem fine with it.
And btw, He is the King! If everyone felt so unhappy and so cheated, why didn’t they bring it up with him in a civilized manner before? He obviously was not a tyrant. And as he implied in his song, He’s the king. So no he can’t go out Personally and reclothe and rebuild a house but he CAN coordinate a team to help the process! The President does’t clean up the ashes of Maui, but he Can send out the right people with the right expertise to help!
Magic is never an everyday, dust off your clothes , wipe your mouth solution. It’s too powerful for that! King Magnifico respects his HARD EARNED magic and rules accordingly.
I personally was shocked by Asha’s behavior. Acting like her personally motivated, immediately thought up solution without any background information or experience was the one true way to go and Kingdom be D*mn$d, she was gonna get her way! I know as a kid it is wonderful to think you have the answers that adults just don’t have and if they followed your ideas all the world’s problems could be quickly solved. And sometimes that’s tue to some extent. But the reality is Asha needed to be reined in, maybe receive a little more education. She was at the the precipice of the kings library and willingness to teach!
Unfortunately Disney had to take it another direction. Somehow “wokeness” or being “ PC” got in the way. A young girl of color couldn’t possibly learn anything from a blue eyed, strait white male. She, in her naïveté, hubris, inexperienced, uneducated mind had all the answers!
There was nothing simple or rehashed about this storyline. And if ignorant influencers would have stayed out of the way, I think it could have been even better. But mostly I think people need to take a breath (sorry I know that saying’s cliché) and go have fun for a couple of hours and see the movie! You can see with your own eyes the beauty of the animation and hear the lyrical songs from the previews! If that’s not enough to get you to go and spend a couple hours with friends and family, maybe the movie industry is gone for good!
Boring review 😢
*crying baby sounds*
I loved it! ❤❤❤
