Wish (II) (2023)
5/10
Feels like a parody of itself...

Where has the Disney of old gone? I know this is a children's movie; but when you compare this to Hercules, Mulan & other projects from the studio we love... this falls flat.

The music is good but feels forced and made before the movie. (Also enough with the Hamilton rap musical style number. - it's been done 100x & is beyond played out)

The main character is fine but the supporting cast is nothing more than memes and callouts.

Have fun waiting 45min it's for any sort of call to adventure.

My biggest problem with the whole movie was the villain. He has this mysterious past in this tapestry hinting at why he's made bad decisions trying to do good. However this is never explored as Disney is just interested in toppling another Patriarchy.

The callouts a meta-ness of the movie are cringe. Considering this is the movie to celebrate 100 years I am embarrassed for Disney.
