Didn't they already explore this theme in Bruce Almighty? Bruce granted everyone's prayers and immediately realized that it was a bad idea. Maybe the disney of old would have had this movie go in a similar direction, but I have a feeling that won't happen for this film in today's selfish society. It's a shame. It could have taught a great lesson.
He literally says that in the video. You either have the attention span of a fish or you write comments before finishing video or WORSE, you write what he stated to get likes
In theory, this movie would work if it was otherwise a compelling and thorough deconstruction of the whole "when you wish upon a star" theme that the Disney company is built on. It would have a more somber and cynical tone compared to every other movie they've done as it would explore deep themes about ambition and the uncomfortable truths of life and existence. The story could end with the main character coming to terms with the fact that not all wishes are meant to come true and accepting reality for what it is, and no matter what happens, life will still go on. However, there are good and noble things in life that are worth wishing for, even if there are no guarentees. She could even reconcile with the king who would otherwise be portrayed as a reasonable authority/parental figure who really wants what's best for his people, even if it's an overwhelming and often thankless responsibility. On a side note, the wishing star could play the role of villain who hides behind a veil of faux-innocence and manipulates people who dream of something more and takes advantage of their naivety for it's own gain, and thus cause inadvertent damage to it's victims and everyone around them. It could contrast with the king as a representation of chaos, destruction, and temptation. This could also show that the pursuit of one's hopes and dreams, at the cost of their happiness and well-being, can indeed change them for the worse and drive them to the point of insanity or despair.
I wish I thought you were wrong. I really do. This could be an interesting set up where she learns the dangers of granting everyone's wish and the king turns out to be very wise in only granting the wishes that will benefit everyone. But I don't hold out much hope that they will have a good moral in this movie. I'd be thrilled to be proved wrong, however. This is coming from a life long DisNerd, too, who hasn't watched the last few movies. And doesn't plan to. It hurts to see what this company is putting out now.
It follows many decades of an approach of “children know best through their native genius, and authorities, especially paternal ones, are dolts or egotists.” It fits well with today’s narcissism.
They try to paint the King as the bad guy, when it reality life would be absolute HELL if he granted everyone's wishes! The main character goes "It'S uNfAiR" like she doesn't understand the repercussions of what she's wishing for. Edit: In addition, is it just me, or has the animation quality kinda decreased? It doesn't seem quite as good as some other recent ones.
Yeah i think they wanted like go the spiderverse route or something idk. I think theres gonna be a plot where she does grant everyones wishes but then realizes like “no this bad lala” and then tries to reverse it idk. We’ll see.
@@KEP1983Yeah. They screwed that up because they had the potential to blend different styles and experiment. They're instead experimenting with woke ideology and political/religious messaging. They're playing it safe while dealing in the absolutes that everyone hates and no one wants forced onto themselves and their children.
If the movie decided to go in a direction where she starts granting everyone's wishes, only to quickly learn exactly why that's a bad idea, proving the king right in his argument, that would make for an interesting story. But this is Disney we're talking about, so that's pretty unlikely. But it would be funny if they did that.
It's probably going to be something crazy like the king using the power of the wishes he doesn't grant to power the magic to grant the ones he does want.
Be woke Disney Write a movie where the villain White King doesn't grant everyone's "wish" Diverse GirlBoss decides for herself and grants everyone's wish A Literal Disaster happens The villain king turns out to be a hero Empowering diverse Girlboss ends up being a villain. Moral of the story, white men know better.
"I grant only the wishes which I think are good for the kingdom." "No! _ALL_ wishes should be granted!" In other words, society should be forced to indulge every unhealthy fantasy had by people with problems of the brain.
@@KEP1983 This film has two Directors, one is Chris Buck of Surf's Up fame thats good. The other is Fawn Veerasunthorn, who worked on The Lorax, Ranph Breaks the Internet, Frozen, Raya and the Last Dragon. Not so good.
I am just flabbergasted at how many people seem okay with only one person deciding what the people need or don't need. Where have we seen that before? Oh yeah: in dictatorships where the people are at the mercy of one individual person. Here's the thing: it's one thing for the king to be cautious about granting every wish. But he should not be the sole decider on which wishes should be granted. He should have a council of advisors or judges to help him decide which wish is worthy of being granted and which one is not. I feel like Asha will learn as the movie progresses that the king may be right in that not every wish should be granted. But she still has to stop him because he's using the magic to build up his own power and thus will become a tyrant.
Agree with your take. In my opinion, a fairytale should 'resonate' with something deep inside us. The trailer for this movie? Just confused me. Because the king was simultaneously shown to take wise actions with good results (i.e. discern which petitions to grant keeping in mind "what is good for" the community -- with a result that his kingdom lives in peace!) but juxtaposed against imagery of the king having evil looking eyes and a deranged voice. Obviously the king is portrayed as having human flaws like vanity ("I am a handsome king"), and that's fine to portray (he could be a good protagonist learning to overcome his flaws). But insofar as the king seems like a metaphorical stand-in for Christ? King of a kingdom, with the power to grant wishes (prayers) but answering "no" to many, not just "yes", which God does for our good? Portraying that as an inherently evil figure, seems definitely toxic anti-Christ messaging. Praying thanksgiving to Christ right now for being a good king. Even when the answers to my prayers have been "no" or "not yet". I'm not entitled to his gifts; I can continue to be grateful for those I've received and hopeful for more in the future, without becoming rebellious and thinking it's my 'right' to grasp at more than he's chosen for me to have at this time. I hope that many more take this opportunity to thank our good king for his goodness to us, and reject unhealthy caricatures like this movie seems to promote, misguiding young minds about what it means for a king (and father, and God) to be good and loving.
While I get what you mean, king magnifico is not exactly "jesus". The king is not entirely like jesus, but more like a government/monarch of sorts. Matt walsh pointed that out perfectly. Then again, ant man 3 had a subtle metaphor that makes me think they are not really inclusive and are doublling down on attacking those who oppose them. In terms of november movies, I think i'll watch trolls band together instead. It has traditional values like a natural biological romance, and the reoccurring theme in the movie of the importance of family. It also has evil twins who want to be famous by stealing someone else's talent, not a metaphor for toxic masculinity, or whatever garbage disney likes to call it. Recent disney movies attack traditional values, but the bad guys, minions the rise of gru, puss in boots the last wish, the super mario bros movie, ruby gillman, and trolls band together do not. They don't attack christians or conservatives, they don't beat you over the head with political lectures. They are actually inclusive with everyone including christians, they have strong, but likable female characters like poppy, princess peach, and kitty softpaws. They are actually for kids with no weird grooming bullcrap. Just good entertaining content to enjoy, just like og disney, which is why I am celebrating 100 years of disney. To watch and think about their old stuff, like og pinocchio from 1940. If you are really concerned about wish, just watch any of the movies I mentioned. Super mario was really good. If you haven't seen it, I would definitely recommend it.☺☺😎
Christianity is in rapid decline (particularly in the United States) for a REASON and based on surveys....a lot of it has to do with the behaviors of Christian believers themselves. So, everything is not going to center on a Christian religious view. History is full of examples of *real...Historical* Kings who've govern their Kingdoms poorly. Everything doesn't have to align on a Christian viewpoint about human behaviors (so funny since Christians create their own unhealthy caricatures of everyone else). Real life doesn't revolve around Christians. The narcissism is absolutely insane (as is the seemingly recent mass religious hysteria labeling nearly everything "satanic" or "anti-Christ" that doesn't bow to their unsupported faith-based worldview) assuming such an opinion is deserving of respect by default. Ridiculous.....
Except that this movie doesn't seem to follow the punchline. I caught the king's response that not all wishes are granted. That is (or should be) a good thing. Some folks wish for things that will (eventually) cause them great harm. A bit of wisdom goes a long way. (I can say this, because my "wisdom" has not always been working when some of my wishes came true.)
A lot of people are praising this movie because Disney's return to obvious villains rather than twist villains. Originally, I was kinda interested in this film. It sounded fresh and different. However, after learning more about it and hearing the analysises by Not the Bee staff, you're absolutely right. This movie is pushing an agenda, a false worldview. While watching the trailer, I found myself agreeing with the king who said he only granted wishes if they were the best for the recipients/kingdom. Having all your wishes fulfilled is "hell on earth." I was shocked to see how dark and anti-God the worldview is in this film. Glorifying rebellion is not something anyone should do, especially a children's movie producer. Sorry, Disney, but I'm going to skip this one.
I don't know about you but I'm not skipping this one because I really don't believe this TH-camr he's reading way too much into this trailer. There is no agenda in it second of all I think it's ridiculous that people are going to complain about Woke in a movie that hasn't even come out yet all because the main character has a mixed feeling about the person in charge how in the world are real world kids are going to rebel against adults that is the stupidest thing I ever heard of kids have more common sense than most of these adult
There is always an agenda. After all, what if someone wishes for harm to another? Something tells her that our "heroine" would grant that wish just because it was made.
Honestly this movie doesnt sound woke, it more sounds like a complicated mess. From what I heard, this movie is trying to be some sort of connection to all other Disney movie like their own weirdly constructed cinematic universe/kingdom hearts bullshit. Which SOUNDS EVEN WORSE THAN ANYTHING WITH THE WORD "WOKE" BEHIND IT. Christ!
This movie is far from bs but it’s important to remember that anyone who uses the word woke is just a child making shit up cuz there’s no such thing as woke and if there were then the word bad wouldn’t exist
@@abdullahsnowking8590 it’s a fantasy world not real life. Talking goats don’t exist in the real world either. Everyone with half a brain knows it isn’t real.
@@AussieDisneyGirl Hey, AussieDisneyGirl, there is a comment on this video's comments section from user, Gray Martineau which states the following: "In theory, this movie would work if it was otherwise a compelling and thorough deconstruction of the whole "when you wish upon a star" theme that the Disney company is built on.

Okay, comment over. What do you think?
I think that this works really well as a message that the black community is ruined if they take government handouts, because the government is only after their own lasting power.
The beautiful thing about the Bible (with proper understanding) and those of us that study actual written historical accounts is that the hatred of your kind won't last forever because according to Obadiah, Edom/Esau will cease to exist due to their hatred in the last days... enjoy while it lasts. Yesss, because ONLY the black community take government handouts. 😂 While you worry about so-called blacks you should be worried about biblical prophecy of Esau/Edom/Idumea (which you are) going extinct. All praises to TMH! Keep the hatred and false testimony going. 😊
Seems like this movie is dissing God for Him not answering all prayers. He can’t answer all prayers since we all effect one another. And this is NOT Heaven. Earth is a mix of good and bad.
This demonstrates the logical conclusion of the activism against "systemic oppression" by authorities: namely, the view that God is the ultimate oppressor. It's very obvious in this film.
Look you guys. I like the Babylon bee. And disagree with the modern definition of woke. But this is a time I have to disagree. Just let me explain myself. First the animation. I thought it sucked at first. But turning up the quality helps. But there’s actually several 4k ultra hd versions of wish teaser and trailers. The best ones I found are from Trailer Spot. The animation is stunning. It’s just Disney irresponsibly sabotaging the impression of the animation form what will really be the final movie. Besides, it already suffered a lot of compression from TH-cam. Now for the story we saw. We see that Asha is meant to be the apprentice of a magical king who can grant wishes. King Magnifico takes her to see the wishes of Rosas. He explains to her that people give their wishes to him. And he decides which ones are good for Rosas. But keep in mind he is the villain. What does he think is good for Rosas? Asha then asked him if some of the wishes will never be granted. Not even seeming against it. It came off as a genuinely curious tone. It wasn’t the kind of tone that she would say if she instead said. “¿What do you mean some of these won’t ever be granted?!” Magnifico replied that he doesn’t even grant most of them. Asha then says more assertively, that the people deserve more than what they are being given. But she never said she thought all the wishes should be granted. Only to be somewhat aggressively brushed of by Magnifico. Saying that he decides what everyone deserves. But what does he think everyone deserves? It’s made even worse when you hear out people who watched the Wish preview. They found out that the king actually doesn’t care how good or bad a wish is. If it benefits him, it’s granted. And if King Magnifico actually did what he claimed to do. There would be more variety in who does and doesn’t get their wish. Instead of the huge imbalance of most wishes left un-granted. And the few that benefit him no matter how good or bad are granted. Also. I have to greatly disagree with you with comparing Magnifico to God. God created the universe and everything in it. Magnifico is one of those dudes that is playing god, which is insulting to pretend that your like god if your human. Even if you have the power to grant wishes. Not to mention he erases people’s memory of their wish if it’s not granted. It was also in the preview. All to avoid conflict he could deal with without doing it. Considering all of this. It should be obvious why Magnifico can simply not be compared to God. And don’t give me the “he’s the king, he should decide what is good for his kingdom.” Says the same people that disagree with politicians and presidents. Don’t be hypocritical. If you could do what Asha seems to do to politicians you know are not good. You’d do it unless your a coward. Unless your afraid of everyone thinking your a traitor to your country or are on the wrong side of things. Which is something Asha will seem to have to face. This story seems to follow with the message of. “Sometimes the people in power you may think are good, may turn out to not be as good as they actually are. Don’t be afraid to stand up to them. Fight for a better future not for yourself, but for everyone around you.” It’s not like the recent ones or “fight the patriarchy or whatever” and that was something those character’s did for themselves. But considering all of this information. It’s likely Asha isn’t doing this for herself. And actually cares about her home Rosas. And wants the best for it. This is about fighting for something bigger than yourself. Not about fighting against god. It is ridiculous to make such a claim. But not being afraid of what people will think of you. There will be challenges on the way sure. But that’s just part of life.
I agree, but the movie is kind of portraying magnifico as the evil white guy who is actually deciding what wishes can come true for the betterment of the kingdom. At least that's what matt walsh said. We'll see what happens when the movie comes out. Seriously, this can't be how they are celebrating 100 years of wonder.
@@chrisprattfan2592 Yeah. This is stuff I analyzed outside of marketing. I never came to the conclusion the king is right and Asha is wrong. But rather I felt like something was missing. I found all this other information through reliable articles for the movie. But I really hope they’ll execute this movie properly. I’ll likely never trust Disney again if this isn’t good. Also, Asha is actually half white and has a white grandfather. From what I’ve read, her family means the world to her. So it would definitely include him. So it doesn’t seem they have anything against white men.
@@chrisprattfan2592what happened to not focusing on race? Would this be better if the villain wasn't white? if people complained about it like you are doing now, would you pretend that you would never complain for such a stupid reason and make fun of those complaining?
@@sugarzblossom8168 I just remembered that asha had a white family member. You know what? I am going to stop judging the movie based on the trailer. Whether this movie is "woke" or not can only be determined when the movie comes out. For now, let's just wait and see.
The golden goat is a widespread legend in Europe, found from Spain to Belgium. But it’s in Provence that the legend is most well-known. At the end of the Middle Ages, the inhabitants were terrified of the Saracens that controlled the region and accumulated treasures from pillaging. The story begins when the Moors hid one of their treasures, promised to come back and retrieve it, but never did. The only witness to know the secret hiding spot of the treasure was a goat, who became the guardian of the buried riches. Since then, dozens of treasure hunters have tried to find it, but the goat uses his beautiful golden coat to lure them underground into traps, where terrible dragons await to devour them. Thus, the treasure has never been found.
Dan! 'Pointed' is right. 🙂 And good insights into this "worldview" matter. (Because this movie will certainly, like every single other piece of media, reveal itself to be made from a very particular worldview.)
So in a nutshell the message would be: responsibility is EVIL, self-indulgence is good! Thank you, Bob Iger and Woke Disney, for saving me more money! #BoycottDisney #CancelDisneyPlus #FireBobIger #HollyWOKE #BoycottHollyWOKE #WokeDisney #HollyWOKE #RestoreTheMagic
Reminds me of in the movie "Bruce Almighty" when Bruce has prayers to come in like emails and then sets up an auto-responder to say "yes" to all of them. Chaos ensues.
Making claims based on a trailer and not the whole film makes you sound like you have an agenda even more than Disney. You’re trying to assert your knowledge about something you know nothing about yet. This makes your opinion untrusted and even malicious.
"Wish" is a bad movie. The songs are bad, the jokes are bad, the characters are not sympathetic, the talking goat is awful, the storyline is bad. It's a bad movie. No wonder Disney lost 131 million USD over it.
@@animezilla4486 It's a passage from the Bible. In the garden of Eden the devil tells Eve "you shall not surely die if you eat of the fruit." The commenter means that Disney is trying to convince people that God is wrong and the devil is right
Also, she wished upon a star (lucifer) in defiance of the king (God). The star falls from the heavens to earth and begins granting people their wishes. Kinda like selling your soul to the devil, no?
First of all, satan does not actually make deals with you so he can steal your soul. The whole sell your soul thing is made up faustian fantasy. Also lucifer is not associated with stars. He was a fallen angel, not a shooting star. Puss in boots the last wish has a shooting star that is just that, a shooting star that came from a nebula. In the case of which, it's not exactly how you are claiming it to be. Please don't make things unnecessarily religiously symbolic when they're not. Another thing, watch puss in boots the last wish and the original pinocchio, you won't regret it.
Wow…for the record, sometimes a childrens fairy tale is just that. We are so blessed in so many ways. There is nothing wrong with keeping our eyes open to the dangers todays society can present. The rewards of living in the good are so much more life affirming and the way I believe we were born to live! Again, no judgement just my thoughts. God Bless!
@@guol1806 agin. Please dont take offense! To be honest, I have never even replied to a set of comments. I hopped on to take a peak at the video. Disney has been a part of my life for such a long time. So many wonderful memories with my children. I was just taken aback by the comments. It just sort of hurt my heart to see so many folks in one spot clearly with much different feelings.
@@eddieurishvidSorry dude, but it sounds like you haven't been paying attention to the last 10 years. Disney HAS STATED that they have a not-so-secret agenda for our kids.

@@T1544767 I am sorry but I dont believe we are going to find common ground on this. I did not mean to engage in any sort of conflict. I appreciate that you feel you have insight that I am not privy to. I am afraid the only result you and I will be able to achieve regarding this topic will be toxic and that was not and is not my intention. I wish you well on your journey brother. Life is so short and the world is full of blessings. I realize I sound like EXACTLY the kind of person who epitomizes the opposite of what you are standing up for…I promise you my friend, it was not the differences between us that inspired me to respond…it was seeing my reflection in everyone’s comments throughout so much of my past life. A lot of anger, a great deal of resentment etc. I guarantee you. My perspective is not a result of being naive or blind. I wish you well.
The animation looks like they’re trying to go for a more comic book cel shaded style like Spiderverse or Puss in Boots, but yet they are trying to do it with a traditional style of their animation, which doesn’t mesh well together. Not to mention the environments look lacking. It makes it look more bland rather than stylized. The models look unfinished rather than cel shaded. Even in the more traditionally animated parts of the puss in boots movie they models were heavily detailed and at times look painted. This whole movie just feels lazy.
While not a fan of what Disney has been putting out for our children, (nor do I take my grandkids to them) I would like to be able to judge the whole on the complete movie. I'd like to know how the movie resolves in the end before I make an absolute opinion. Probably ends predictably and your advice is sound, however, I am with the 'too soon to tell' crowd. My trigger response usually is 'It is from Disney, can't be good", but I'd like to know more.
In cases like this, I wait until the movie is $3 to rent. I give them the least amount of money possible as they appear to have considered my interests and values the least.
Imagine seeing a movie about not giving up on your dreams just because they are hard. I a movie that says if you work hard at something you can make it happen. A movie that advocates moving the "lotcus of control" as Jordan Peterson calls it from the external to the internal and thinking it's woke.
From the amount of terrible live action movies Disney has put out recently, we deserve an animated movie worth putting next to Enchanto and Coco at most. And if viewers are still not satisfied, then they’re just gonna have to make a movie themselves if they want something good to watch.

With all due respect your argument about this doesn't make any sense at all nobody is questioning God, nobody is questioning family values, and nobody is making children question authority, you're reading way too much into this. Judging how many numbers people have viewed for this trailer he looks like this movie has caught the public attention in a good way which I'm glad that means Disney is definitely on the right
Yeah right. I’m tired of these lame excuses with the animation in w Wish looking lame. Even after knowing about what happened with website compression. It’s a mix of 2d watercolor and modern 3d. That’s why it looks the way it looks. It looks like a story book painted in watercolor pretty much. If you don’t like the animation it’s fine. But it doesn’t mean it’s bad quality.
It’s a new masterpiece but it’s very important to know that there is no such thing as what you children call “woke” just say bad like a normal person instead of trying to fit in with the kids who listen to nothing but that awful rap music instead of real music.
It's definitely anti government. It does have a vague spiritual element. Wishing on a star is almost analogous to prayer to a higher power. The king was originally a well intentioned guy who sets himself up as a false god. It's half baked but I don't think it's sacrilegious.
The animation just isn't there for a 100 years of Disney. Songs are okay for kids but not epic like in other movies. The laziness in the animation is remarkable. They don't even use the rules of simplistic animation. Place your characters at the left a third or the right a third of the way to allow the eyes to be drawn to the whole scene. They really took shortcuts on the animation if this is the best of the movie scenes. Very disappointed. Typical Disney in the last 6 years with a female lead that has no faults that they have to overcome to get where they are. Sick of straight Mary Sues in all their movies. Let the main characters have flaws they overcome so you can identify with them. Disappointing is all I can say for this writing. I don't care one way or another if it succeeds, but in the end this won't be a classic used for reference of true Disney animation or story writing.
I'll give this movie a chance, in fact, I'm going to watch it on opening day with my sisters, my niece and my nephew. Anyway, you know how in the teaser trailer released in the summer they do this thing where they show title cards to remind viewers of six of their past films? These films were "Frozen," "The Lion King," "Moana," "Cinderella," "Beauty and the Beast" and "Encanto." One TH-camr said "it's obvious you ain't that same studio anymore." I have to agree with that statement. I think it seems kind of desperate, especially considering one of they films they listed in that trailer was made while Walt Disney himself was still alive. Just to be funny, I imagine other films being listed in that teaser, including but not limited to those that didn't do so hot at the box office: From the studio that brought you "Home on the Range," "Fun and Fancy Free," "Dinosaur," "The Black Cauldron," "Hercules," "Meet the Robinsons."
I thought this was gonna be a valid critique of the movie and it's plot etc. Nope, it's just another dude saying Disney is bad because they don't like god or some shit
revolt against maturity said it best (referring to the view of God during the jesus revolution); When God is made out to be a doting father, desire is made appalling, and gratification the greatest grace.
I like your theory but I tried to make great cartoon as Aladdin 1994 for Disney's.... I work programmer with myself (single) alone to help my mom because my mom old woman and she work as teacher and she can't help me anymore because I want to depend about myself.... So I used my abilities to work in Disney.
I was thinking it was an allegory against religion after seeing tonight, Christianity in particular. Interesting hearing a Christian or at least Christianity-favoring perspective on the movie said so well - good thing too that these trailers spoil so much I guess lol. I can see how applying those critical questions to parents and God will enable rebellion to authority, especially in applying personal power to pursue impermissibilized & potentially perilous prayers. But that’s the supposedly but surreptitiously not good God King’s detrimental depowerment approach, to willfully withhold information on mass in an ignorance is bliss fashion. When knowledge is power working to keep it at bay is keeping those people weak enough to wield or govern. It is a choice of consequence to censor media from those under your care, to seek to stifle their growth like unwanted weeds, even where it would be good for them for fear it won’t be good for those above them. Children can be inspired to topple power structures that confine their potential even at their own expense - far more cunning kings don’t let their Asha equivalents access their inner sanctum’s secrets to even risk that awakening’s outbreak. Just cancel that whole social cancer gateway to own overthrown hell deal before it’s begun, what was that faith-fueled fool thinking ^ ^ ‘ ?
Not sure what you mean about the animation. Do you mean the rendering or the design? Personally, I think it reminds me a bit about Nimona. I don't like how to put facial moles on characters for no reason. When did Disney start going woke? I would say in the early 90s.
I’m not going to jump to conclusions. I think it looks very good and hope it ends up being at least a decent film. While I agree and understand the arguments here, there may be surprises and twists in the film that make it more realistic and effective in its messaging. Furthermore, we don’t know all the details for the kings intentions and there’s likely more to it than it looks in the trailers. Define what he thinks is good for Rosas. Doesn’t mean he is doing good for the kingdom but maybe only for himself and his reign. Like maybe some wishes threaten his reign and control according to him and refusing to grant wishes while making them forget is his way of crushing any opposition to the power he’s obsessed with. Asha likely has good intentions for her people and the kingdom, not just rebelling for the heck of it. Let’s wait for the reviews, but I’m still cautiously optimistic.
Asha is actually North African Iberian. So no it’s not a exactly typical black girl protagonists. It’s why she has braids, which we don’t know her hair type, freckles, blush on her cheeks and ears, light brown skin, light brown eyes, stuff like her face shape, nose shape, and lips. Her mother is a North African lady called Sakina. While her grandfather is of South European likely Iberian ancestry called Sabino. So no this isn’t another poc against the white man. They had no reason to make her half white, and yet they did. So put this whole “black girl against white patriarchy” to rest. She’s not even really black anyway. At least not west African.
Wow, there sure were a lot of non-Europeans living in Western Europe during an era when very few people outside of merchants and conquering armies took upon themselves the effort of making the long, dangerous journey of traveling abroad. Also notice that the most European-looking people in this movie are the villains.
.........You see oppression everywhere now? do you feel attacked and oppressed? are you gonna push laws that infringe on people's freedom of speech so as not hurt your feelings? The villain in all 2023's Marvel films are black; Guardians3, Antman3 and the upcoming Marvels. The lead hero in all three films are white. Are these films racist against blacks? The villain in Wakanda Forever is Latino, the villain in Shazam2 are 3 diverse women and the lead hero is a white man. How do you not see you've become the neoSJWs, the new cancel/outrage culture???
I believe this takes place in the Iberian peninsula, the moors(North Africans) conquered that area for 800 hundred years. Even the Spanish language has some Arabic words due to this. I’m assuming she may be half Spanish and Moroccan or even full Moroccan depending on the timing. Many south Spaniards and Portuguese have some North African ancestry
I really dont think their writer are that talented or smart enough to put that level of hidden meanings, they are all mostly just like your average liberal joe, rebelling against some kind of "archy", and not being responsible/mature/adult enough to not let his personal grievances/issues affect the thing he's on in such a pity level
I don’t completely disagree with you. But, I think this movie is more pushing towards government rather than religion. I think it’s trying to say that rebellion is always an option if need be. And that perhaps when you use that rebel button you could make some unfair problems more fair. For example, segregation, that was a very unfair problem in that time of society. And then MLK Jr. came up and led a REBELLION which ended up making that issue more fair and equal. Now me personally likes the animation as it is a new princess movie about the wishing star.
Stop The thing that Asha is wishing that everyone Wishes should be granted is the main conflict not the message for example in lion king and frozen there was a time where the protagonists made a mistake and later fixed it I mean she says that I have to undo my Wish I mean the marketing says „be careful what you Wish for" That's pointing to Ashas mistake making this Wish Im sorry but that is bullshit dont mix plot or main conflict with the message I mean the main conflict from the lion king is that Simba is running away because of his guilt is that the message? No, Its about taking responsibility and fixing things from the past
Clearly you're either a dumbass or you're biased. Clearly the Trailer show this is the plot summary, that Asha genuenly believes all wishes should be granted without question, and portrays the King (the "villain") as being a selfish man who won't grant everyone's wishes, but he's clearly not in the wrong here, granting every wish only leads to catastrophe, but the trailer clearly seems to say otherwise.
“Is god really good?” “Are my parents good for following him?” “This is not what I want my daughters to ask?” My question would be why? Why wouldn’t you want your daughters to ask is god good? Why wouldnt you want your daughters to find their own truth, find what they believe in, question why they should believe in god, question why you do? Then they can make the educated and informed decision for themselves as to what they choose to believe in and live their lives being true to themselves and their beliefs. Just because you believe does not mean they have to. They are individuals, they have their own minds, their own beliefs. Just because they might not match yours does not make it wrong, and just because they question your faith does not make it bad. Educate your sons and daughters to think for themselves and follow their own path, do not force them to follow yours. Let them question everything, learn, grow and become the person they want to be, not the person you think they should be. You are not here to create carbon copies of yourselves, you are here to educate and advise and hopefully lead them to their own path. Isn’t that what Disney teaches us? Be true to yourself, and if that means being different from your parents so be it. I truly hope this movie shows that, and not that you have to keep quiet and believe what you parents believe because ‘what your parents believe is what matters’. 😡
That's what we call an "A-DORK-able" character. It started with Rapunzel in Tangled, and it so it became a "Standard" for all Disney princesses after her (oh and don't forget to add an animal sidekick to the kit as well). Honestly, it started out alright, but now it's boring, and even cringe enducing.
Stop are you doing? It’s a no no band of Internet all the haters are not allowed to be on TH-cam and delete them or else no more no more complaints. I had enough. It is what it is we don’t films is No, no
I'm going to reserve judgement until the movie has actually come out... but yeah, I wasn't too impressed with that trailer either. I'm skeptical, but not forming an actual opinion on the film just yet. It might surprise us. Or it might not. Can't say just yet.
Always quick to judge now aren’t we? This is a masterpiece of a film that doesn’t deserve its low score. Go watch it and u will understand that critics can’t always be trusted
As a former disney die hard, the animation quality has dropped big time. It dosen’t look like a good story. And the star thingy really? I've seen the mario movie twice this year and it has far more potential then what disney is producing and considering that fact that it comes on top of 4 flops this year. Yeah, i'd rather watch transformers, sonic or mario. Then disney's rushed out woke garbage. So i'm skipping this and i recommend to everyone, if you want too. Have better fits for your bucks, then buy mario and sonic the hedgehog 2. They are much better, so vote with your wallets and not support disney. So your video spot on and you deserve a sub.
I mean, it looks like a bad, woke movie but the connection between god and the king character is ridiculous. Especially comparing prayers to wishes. ROFL
Kids do make this connection. My son was sad because his snowman didn't come to life, when he wished for it to. I told him that wishful thinking does not have any power. But thankfully, we have a Father in Heaven who hears our prayers and knows what we need. He doesn't just grant wishes. He knows us and knows what's best for each of us! In the end, he decided to pray for what he needed(a friend) and God answered his prayer! God is not like the villain in this movie at all! If they portray Him like that, it makes Him sound like an egocentric tyrant! That's not God at all! He is good!
@@susannasilva8135 There is no god. There is no proof of god. Your religion is a cult. It's not even the original version. Your cult subscribes to brand created by a King that didn't like being told what to do by the Vatican. It's all nonsense.
why would it be bad for kids to question if god is good or not ? If your god is so good, it should be simple to prove so. I don't like the premise of the movie, but your reasons are just ridiculous.
Every conscious human being knows Disney was early woke, early liberal in making every movie as dystopian as possible. Bambi is anti-2A/hunting, the rest are sappy activist kool-aid sipping concoctions of animals are smarter than humans, are above humans or should rule over humans. Never was a Disney fan from my initial viewing as a young kid. Still the same rubbish in psychopathy. This movie review reminds me of Jesus's warning: Mat 24:9-14 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come."
Didn't they already explore this theme in Bruce Almighty? Bruce granted everyone's prayers and immediately realized that it was a bad idea. Maybe the disney of old would have had this movie go in a similar direction, but I have a feeling that won't happen for this film in today's selfish society. It's a shame. It could have taught a great lesson.
He literally says that in the video. You either have the attention span of a fish or you write comments before finishing video or WORSE, you write what he stated to get likes
In theory, this movie would work if it was otherwise a compelling and thorough deconstruction of the whole "when you wish upon a star" theme that the Disney company is built on. It would have a more somber and cynical tone compared to every other movie they've done as it would explore deep themes about ambition and the uncomfortable truths of life and existence.
The story could end with the main character coming to terms with the fact that not all wishes are meant to come true and accepting reality for what it is, and no matter what happens, life will still go on. However, there are good and noble things in life that are worth wishing for, even if there are no guarentees. She could even reconcile with the king who would otherwise be portrayed as a reasonable authority/parental figure who really wants what's best for his people, even if it's an overwhelming and often thankless responsibility.
On a side note, the wishing star could play the role of villain who hides behind a veil of faux-innocence and manipulates people who dream of something more and takes advantage of their naivety for it's own gain, and thus cause inadvertent damage to it's victims and everyone around them. It could contrast with the king as a representation of chaos, destruction, and temptation. This could also show that the pursuit of one's hopes and dreams, at the cost of their happiness and well-being, can indeed change them for the worse and drive them to the point of insanity or despair.
You my dear fellow, just wrote down something i would pay to watch on the big screen tbh.
That's better than this movie. Disney is out of touch.
I wish I thought you were wrong. I really do. This could be an interesting set up where she learns the dangers of granting everyone's wish and the king turns out to be very wise in only granting the wishes that will benefit everyone. But I don't hold out much hope that they will have a good moral in this movie. I'd be thrilled to be proved wrong, however.
This is coming from a life long DisNerd, too, who hasn't watched the last few movies. And doesn't plan to. It hurts to see what this company is putting out now.
It follows many decades of an approach of “children know best through their native genius, and authorities, especially paternal ones, are dolts or egotists.” It fits well with today’s narcissism.
How dare children want to be seen as people's
Too well thought out for Disney
They try to paint the King as the bad guy, when it reality life would be absolute HELL if he granted everyone's wishes! The main character goes "It'S uNfAiR" like she doesn't understand the repercussions of what she's wishing for.
Edit: In addition, is it just me, or has the animation quality kinda decreased? It doesn't seem quite as good as some other recent ones.
Yeah i think they wanted like go the spiderverse route or something idk. I think theres gonna be a plot where she does grant everyones wishes but then realizes like “no this bad lala” and then tries to reverse it idk. We’ll see.
Animation quality has definitely decreased
@@KEP1983Yeah. They screwed that up because they had the potential to blend different styles and experiment. They're instead experimenting with woke ideology and political/religious messaging. They're playing it safe while dealing in the absolutes that everyone hates and no one wants forced onto themselves and their children.
If the movie decided to go in a direction where she starts granting everyone's wishes, only to quickly learn exactly why that's a bad idea, proving the king right in his argument, that would make for an interesting story. But this is Disney we're talking about, so that's pretty unlikely. But it would be funny if they did that.
Heck, the very fact that she's acting against an opponent proves that granting all wishes is a no-win proposal.
It's probably going to be something crazy like the king using the power of the wishes he doesn't grant to power the magic to grant the ones he does want.
Be woke Disney
Write a movie where the villain White King doesn't grant everyone's "wish"
Diverse GirlBoss decides for herself and grants everyone's wish
A Literal Disaster happens
The villain king turns out to be a hero
Empowering diverse Girlboss ends up being a villain.
Moral of the story, white men know better.
Wouldn’t that just be a Disney knock off of Bruce Almighty?
@@nurabsal0x018cwas about to comment the same thing 😅
Disney hasn't had good production value for a while.
Studio Ghibli has much better production quality and still makes hand-drawn animation.
I really need to check them out. I'm assuming they're still not woke. Hopefully the east will remain strong against our western form of communism.
"I grant only the wishes which I think are good for the kingdom."
"No! _ALL_ wishes should be granted!"
In other words, society should be forced to indulge every unhealthy fantasy had by people with problems of the brain.
The story seems to think it's impossible for a wish to have unintended negative consequences.
Great points 💯
@@KEP1983 This film has two Directors, one is Chris Buck of Surf's Up fame thats good. The other is Fawn Veerasunthorn, who worked on The Lorax, Ranph Breaks the Internet, Frozen, Raya and the Last Dragon. Not so good.
I am just flabbergasted at how many people seem okay with only one person deciding what the people need or don't need. Where have we seen that before? Oh yeah: in dictatorships where the people are at the mercy of one individual person.
Here's the thing: it's one thing for the king to be cautious about granting every wish. But he should not be the sole decider on which wishes should be granted. He should have a council of advisors or judges to help him decide which wish is worthy of being granted and which one is not.
I feel like Asha will learn as the movie progresses that the king may be right in that not every wish should be granted. But she still has to stop him because he's using the magic to build up his own power and thus will become a tyrant.
@@TimberlakeTigerGirl you're trying to rationalize a ridiculous plot hole.
Agree with your take. In my opinion, a fairytale should 'resonate' with something deep inside us. The trailer for this movie? Just confused me. Because the king was simultaneously shown to take wise actions with good results (i.e. discern which petitions to grant keeping in mind "what is good for" the community -- with a result that his kingdom lives in peace!) but juxtaposed against imagery of the king having evil looking eyes and a deranged voice.
Obviously the king is portrayed as having human flaws like vanity ("I am a handsome king"), and that's fine to portray (he could be a good protagonist learning to overcome his flaws). But insofar as the king seems like a metaphorical stand-in for Christ? King of a kingdom, with the power to grant wishes (prayers) but answering "no" to many, not just "yes", which God does for our good? Portraying that as an inherently evil figure, seems definitely toxic anti-Christ messaging.
Praying thanksgiving to Christ right now for being a good king. Even when the answers to my prayers have been "no" or "not yet". I'm not entitled to his gifts; I can continue to be grateful for those I've received and hopeful for more in the future, without becoming rebellious and thinking it's my 'right' to grasp at more than he's chosen for me to have at this time. I hope that many more take this opportunity to thank our good king for his goodness to us, and reject unhealthy caricatures like this movie seems to promote, misguiding young minds about what it means for a king (and father, and God) to be good and loving.
While I get what you mean, king magnifico is not exactly "jesus". The king is not entirely like jesus, but more like a government/monarch of sorts. Matt walsh pointed that out perfectly. Then again, ant man 3 had a subtle metaphor that makes me think they are not really inclusive and are doublling down on attacking those who oppose them. In terms of november movies, I think i'll watch trolls band together instead. It has traditional values like a natural biological romance, and the reoccurring theme in the movie of the importance of family. It also has evil twins who want to be famous by stealing someone else's talent, not a metaphor for toxic masculinity, or whatever garbage disney likes to call it. Recent disney movies attack traditional values, but the bad guys, minions the rise of gru, puss in boots the last wish, the super mario bros movie, ruby gillman, and trolls band together do not. They don't attack christians or conservatives, they don't beat you over the head with political lectures. They are actually inclusive with everyone including christians, they have strong, but likable female characters like poppy, princess peach, and kitty softpaws. They are actually for kids with no weird grooming bullcrap. Just good entertaining content to enjoy, just like og disney, which is why I am celebrating 100 years of disney. To watch and think about their old stuff, like og pinocchio from 1940. If you are really concerned about wish, just watch any of the movies I mentioned. Super mario was really good. If you haven't seen it, I would definitely recommend it.☺☺😎
Christianity is in rapid decline (particularly in the United States) for a REASON and based on surveys....a lot of it has to do with the behaviors of Christian believers themselves. So, everything is not going to center on a Christian religious view. History is full of examples of *real...Historical* Kings who've govern their Kingdoms poorly. Everything doesn't have to align on a Christian viewpoint about human behaviors (so funny since Christians create their own unhealthy caricatures of everyone else). Real life doesn't revolve around Christians. The narcissism is absolutely insane (as is the seemingly recent mass religious hysteria labeling nearly everything "satanic" or "anti-Christ" that doesn't bow to their unsupported faith-based worldview) assuming such an opinion is deserving of respect by default. Ridiculous.....
That’s exactly the impression I got from the preview. Expect nothing good to come out of Disney anymore.
I don't like the song. It has bad lyrics and they're not memorable. It will fade into obscurity.
Sounds like a "Bruce Almighty" copycat.
"It's hard granting everyone's wishes" being the punchline.
Except that this movie doesn't seem to follow the punchline. I caught the king's response that not all wishes are granted. That is (or should be) a good thing. Some folks wish for things that will (eventually) cause them great harm. A bit of wisdom goes a long way. (I can say this, because my "wisdom" has not always been working when some of my wishes came true.)
Except that movie wasn’t about answering prayers. It was about Bruce learning that getting his every wish wasn’t enough to give him joy.
A lot of people are praising this movie because Disney's return to obvious villains rather than twist villains. Originally, I was kinda interested in this film. It sounded fresh and different.
However, after learning more about it and hearing the analysises by Not the Bee staff, you're absolutely right. This movie is pushing an agenda, a false worldview.
While watching the trailer, I found myself agreeing with the king who said he only granted wishes if they were the best for the recipients/kingdom. Having all your wishes fulfilled is "hell on earth." I was shocked to see how dark and anti-God the worldview is in this film.
Glorifying rebellion is not something anyone should do, especially a children's movie producer.
Sorry, Disney, but I'm going to skip this one.
Sorry not sorry I’m skipping this one.
I don't know about you but I'm not skipping this one because I really don't believe this TH-camr he's reading way too much into this trailer. There is no agenda in it second of all I think it's ridiculous that people are going to complain about Woke in a movie that hasn't even come out yet all because the main character has a mixed feeling about the person in charge how in the world are real world kids are going to rebel against adults that is the stupidest thing I ever heard of kids have more common sense than most of these adult

There is always an agenda. After all, what if someone wishes for harm to another? Something tells her that our "heroine" would grant that wish just because it was made.

@@animezilla4486 Keep coping Disney Fanboy XD
I agree. Sony Pictures Animation and DreamWorks are better now. IMO.
Honestly this movie doesnt sound woke, it more sounds like a complicated mess. From what I heard, this movie is trying to be some sort of connection to all other Disney movie like their own weirdly constructed cinematic universe/kingdom hearts bullshit.

This movie is far from bs but it’s important to remember that anyone who uses the word woke is just a child making shit up cuz there’s no such thing as woke and if there were then the word bad wouldn’t exist
This movie isn't about God at all. It has nothing to do with Christianity. You seem to be just making this up with zero evidence.

Okay, comment over. What do you think?
I think that this works really well as a message that the black community is ruined if they take government handouts, because the government is only after their own lasting power.
The beautiful thing about the Bible (with proper understanding) and those of us that study actual written historical accounts is that the hatred of your kind won't last forever because according to Obadiah, Edom/Esau will cease to exist due to their hatred in the last days... enjoy while it lasts. Yesss, because ONLY the black community take government handouts. 😂 While you worry about so-called blacks you should be worried about biblical prophecy of Esau/Edom/Idumea (which you are) going extinct. All praises to TMH! Keep the hatred and false testimony going. 😊
@@aviyahisrael6936i know, he is an embarassment. 😂😂😂

Seems like this movie is dissing God for Him not answering all prayers. He can’t answer all prayers since we all effect one another. And this is NOT Heaven. Earth is a mix of good and bad.
The king's purpose in the movie is like the CEO at Disney saying that animation was just for kids. Thst being said the king is a manor dictator
This demonstrates the logical conclusion of the activism against "systemic oppression" by authorities: namely, the view that God is the ultimate oppressor. It's very obvious in this film.
God isnt a dictator
@@PrincessMavenKittyDarkholmeI know. Disney is brainwashing people and children.
Dumbest comment I've seen so far
It isn’t real either. 😂@@PrincessMavenKittyDarkholme
Ni
Look you guys. I like the Babylon bee. And disagree with the modern definition of woke.
But this is a time I have to disagree. Just let me explain myself.
First the animation. I thought it sucked at first. But turning up the quality helps. But there’s actually several 4k ultra hd versions of wish teaser and trailers. The best ones I found are from Trailer Spot. The animation is stunning. It’s just Disney irresponsibly sabotaging the impression of the animation form what will really be the final movie. Besides, it already suffered a lot of compression from TH-cam.
Now for the story we saw. We see that Asha is meant to be the apprentice of a magical king who can grant wishes.
King Magnifico takes her to see the wishes of Rosas. He explains to her that people give their wishes to him. And he decides which ones are good for Rosas.
But keep in mind he is the villain. What does he think is good for Rosas? Asha then asked him if some of the wishes will never be granted. Not even seeming against it. It came off as a genuinely curious tone.
It wasn’t the kind of tone that she would say if she instead said. “¿What do you mean some of these won’t ever be granted?!”
Magnifico replied that he doesn’t even grant most of them. Asha then says more assertively, that the people deserve more than what they are being given. But she never said she thought all the wishes should be granted.
Only to be somewhat aggressively brushed of by Magnifico. Saying that he decides what everyone deserves. But what does he think everyone deserves?
It’s made even worse when you hear out people who watched the Wish preview. They found out that the king actually doesn’t care how good or bad a wish is. If it benefits him, it’s granted.
And if King Magnifico actually did what he claimed to do. There would be more variety in who does and doesn’t get their wish. Instead of the huge imbalance of most wishes left un-granted. And the few that benefit him no matter how good or bad are granted.
Also. I have to greatly disagree with you with comparing Magnifico to God. God created the universe and everything in it. Magnifico is one of those dudes that is playing god, which is insulting to pretend that your like god if your human. Even if you have the power to grant wishes.
Not to mention he erases people’s memory of their wish if it’s not granted. It was also in the preview. All to avoid conflict he could deal with without doing it.
Considering all of this. It should be obvious why Magnifico can simply not be compared to God. And don’t give me the “he’s the king, he should decide what is good for his kingdom.”
Says the same people that disagree with politicians and presidents. Don’t be hypocritical. If you could do what Asha seems to do to politicians you know are not good.
You’d do it unless your a coward. Unless your afraid of everyone thinking your a traitor to your country or are on the wrong side of things. Which is something Asha will seem to have to face.
This story seems to follow with the message of. “Sometimes the people in power you may think are good, may turn out to not be as good as they actually are. Don’t be afraid to stand up to them. Fight for a better future not for yourself, but for everyone around you.”
It’s not like the recent ones or “fight the patriarchy or whatever” and that was something those character’s did for themselves.
But considering all of this information. It’s likely Asha isn’t doing this for herself. And actually cares about her home Rosas. And wants the best for it. This is about fighting for something bigger than yourself. Not about fighting against god. It is ridiculous to make such a claim. But not being afraid of what people will think of you. There will be challenges on the way sure. But that’s just part of life.
I agree, but the movie is kind of portraying magnifico as the evil white guy who is actually deciding what wishes can come true for the betterment of the kingdom. At least that's what matt walsh said. We'll see what happens when the movie comes out. Seriously, this can't be how they are celebrating 100 years of wonder.
@@chrisprattfan2592 Yeah. This is stuff I analyzed outside of marketing. I never came to the conclusion the king is right and Asha is wrong. But rather I felt like something was missing.
I found all this other information through reliable articles for the movie. But I really hope they’ll execute this movie properly. I’ll likely never trust Disney again if this isn’t good.
Also, Asha is actually half white and has a white grandfather. From what I’ve read, her family means the world to her. So it would definitely include him.
So it doesn’t seem they have anything against white men.
@@chrisprattfan2592what happened to not focusing on race?

@@sugarzblossom8168 I just remembered that asha had a white family member. You know what? I am going to stop judging the movie based on the trailer. Whether this movie is "woke" or not can only be determined when the movie comes out. For now, let's just wait and see.
I dont like the Raging against God part. The agenda never stops. This film will end Disney animation forever.
The golden goat is a widespread legend in Europe, found from Spain to Belgium. But it’s in Provence that the legend is most well-known. At the end of the Middle Ages, the inhabitants were terrified of the Saracens that controlled the region and accumulated treasures from pillaging.
The story begins when the Moors hid one of their treasures, promised to come back and retrieve it, but never did. The only witness to know the secret hiding spot of the treasure was a goat, who became the guardian of the buried riches. Since then, dozens of treasure hunters have tried to find it, but the goat uses his beautiful golden coat to lure them underground into traps, where terrible dragons await to devour them. Thus, the treasure has never been found.
Y’all make up an image of Magnifico of him knowing what’s good for Rosas. But none of you ever ask what he thinks is good for Rosas.
Does anyone realise that Asha's Disney pet for this movie is a talking goat? We all know the dangerous symbolism behind it.
Dan! 'Pointed' is right. 🙂 And good insights into this "worldview" matter. (Because this movie will certainly, like every single other piece of media, reveal itself to be made from a very particular worldview.)
So in a nutshell the message would be: responsibility is EVIL, self-indulgence is good! Thank you, Bob Iger and Woke Disney, for saving me more money! #BoycottDisney #CancelDisneyPlus #FireBobIger #HollyWOKE #BoycottHollyWOKE #WokeDisney #HollyWOKE #RestoreTheMagic
Agreed. I'm ready to boycott this film.
Reminds me of in the movie "Bruce Almighty" when Bruce has prayers to come in like emails and then sets up an auto-responder to say "yes" to all of them. Chaos ensues.

Also, she wished upon a star (lucifer) in defiance of the king (God). The star falls from the heavens to earth and begins granting people their wishes. Kinda like selling your soul to the devil, no?
First of all, satan does not actually make deals with you so he can steal your soul. The whole sell your soul thing is made up faustian fantasy. Also lucifer is not associated with stars. He was a fallen angel, not a shooting star. Puss in boots the last wish has a shooting star that is just that, a shooting star that came from a nebula. In the case of which, it's not exactly how you are claiming it to be. Please don't make things unnecessarily religiously symbolic when they're not. Another thing, watch puss in boots the last wish and the original pinocchio, you won't regret it.
No.
Also, "You are the center of the universe."
Why does have to be about God? It can be about governments juggling priorities -- people can't have everything they want.
Wow…for the record, sometimes a childrens fairy tale is just that. We are so blessed in so many ways. There is nothing wrong with keeping our eyes open to the dangers todays society can present. The rewards of living in the good are so much more life affirming and the way I believe we were born to live! Again, no judgement just my thoughts. God Bless!

@@guol1806 agin. Please dont take offense! To be honest, I have never even replied to a set of comments. I hopped on to take a peak at the video. Disney has been a part of my life for such a long time. So many wonderful memories with my children. I was just taken aback by the comments. It just sort of hurt my heart to see so many folks in one spot clearly with much different feelings.
@@eddieurishvidSorry dude, but it sounds like you haven't been paying attention to the last 10 years. Disney HAS STATED that they have a not-so-secret agenda for our kids. When Disney wants to get THEIR message to your kids, as one of their best characters said "a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down"
@@T1544767 I am sorry but I dont believe we are going to find common ground on this. I did not mean to engage in any sort of conflict. I appreciate that you feel you have insight that I am not privy to. I am afraid the only result you and I will be able to achieve regarding this topic will be toxic and that was not and is not my intention. I wish you well on your journey brother. Life is so short and the world is full of blessings.

A lot of anger, a great deal of resentment etc. I guarantee you. My perspective is not a result of being naive or blind. I wish you well.
The animation looks like they’re trying to go for a more comic book cel shaded style like Spiderverse or Puss in Boots, but yet they are trying to do it with a traditional style of their animation, which doesn’t mesh well together. Not to mention the environments look lacking. It makes it look more bland rather than stylized. The models look unfinished rather than cel shaded. Even in the more traditionally animated parts of the puss in boots movie they models were heavily detailed and at times look painted. This whole movie just feels lazy.
The art style looks like a direct-to-DVD bargain bin movie.
What an opportunity to tell what happens when a spunky rebel thinks he/she knows better than those who do.
We already know they live happily ever after
How dare people want to voice themselves
While not a fan of what Disney has been putting out for our children, (nor do I take my grandkids to them) I would like to be able to judge the whole on the complete movie. I'd like to know how the movie resolves in the end before I make an absolute opinion. Probably ends predictably and your advice is sound, however, I am with the 'too soon to tell' crowd. My trigger response usually is 'It is from Disney, can't be good", but I'd like to know more.
In cases like this, I wait until the movie is $3 to rent. I give them the least amount of money possible as they appear to have considered my interests and values the least.
Imagine seeing a movie about not giving up on your dreams just because they are hard. I a movie that says if you work hard at something you can make it happen. A movie that advocates moving the "lotcus of control" as Jordan Peterson calls it from the external to the internal and thinking it's woke.
From the amount of terrible live action movies Disney has put out recently, we deserve an animated movie worth putting next to Enchanto and Coco at most.
And if viewers are still not satisfied, then they’re just gonna have to make a movie themselves if they want something good to watch.
It’s enchanted or encanto NOT enchanto .. Choose one don’t mix.
The golden goat is a widespread legend in Europe, found from Spain to Belgium. But it’s in Provence that the legend is most well-known. At the end of the Middle Ages, the inhabitants were terrified of the Saracens that controlled the region and accumulated treasures from pillaging.
The story begins when the Moors hid one of their treasures, promised to come back and retrieve it, but never did. The only witness to know the secret hiding spot of the treasure was a goat, who became the guardian of the buried riches. Since then, dozens of treasure hunters have tried to find it, but the goat uses his beautiful golden coat to lure them underground into traps, where terrible dragons await to devour them. Thus, the treasure has never been found.
With all due respect your argument about this doesn't make any sense at all nobody is questioning God, nobody is questioning family values, and nobody is making children question authority, you're reading way too much into this. Judging how many numbers people have viewed for this trailer he looks like this movie has caught the public attention in a good way which I'm glad that means Disney is definitely on the right
Cope all you want Disney Fanboy, riding on your precious Daddy's meat.
The animation looks weird because youtube compressed it and made it worse
The animation is already shit, it looks dull and lifeless no matter the quality of the video. It's just terrible all together
Yeah right. I’m tired of these lame excuses with the animation in w
Wish looking lame.
Even after knowing about what happened with website compression. It’s a mix of 2d watercolor and modern 3d.
That’s why it looks the way it looks. It looks like a story book painted in watercolor pretty much.
If you don’t like the animation it’s fine. But it doesn’t mean it’s bad quality.
@@bravestraven4650 I like the animation, he dosen't
It’s a new masterpiece but it’s very important to know that there is no such thing as what you children call “woke” just say bad like a normal person instead of trying to fit in with the kids who listen to nothing but that awful rap music instead of real music.
This could be viewed as a slam against God, or it can just as easily be taken as a slam against big Government
It's definitely anti government. It does have a vague spiritual element. Wishing on a star is almost analogous to prayer to a higher power. The king was originally a well intentioned guy who sets himself up as a false god. It's half baked but I don't think it's sacrilegious.
The animation just isn't there for a 100 years of Disney. Songs are okay for kids but not epic like in other movies. The laziness in the animation is remarkable. They don't even use the rules of simplistic animation. Place your characters at the left a third or the right a third of the way to allow the eyes to be drawn to the whole scene. They really took shortcuts on the animation if this is the best of the movie scenes. Very disappointed. Typical Disney in the last 6 years with a female lead that has no faults that they have to overcome to get where they are. Sick of straight Mary Sues in all their movies. Let the main characters have flaws they overcome so you can identify with them. Disappointing is all I can say for this writing. I don't care one way or another if it succeeds, but in the end this won't be a classic used for reference of true Disney animation or story writing.
Spot on analysis.
Thanks Sue!
I'll give this movie a chance, in fact, I'm going to watch it on opening day with my sisters, my niece and my nephew. Anyway, you know how in the teaser trailer released in the summer they do this thing where they show title cards to remind viewers of six of their past films? These films were "Frozen," "The Lion King," "Moana," "Cinderella," "Beauty and the Beast" and "Encanto." One TH-camr said "it's obvious you ain't that same studio anymore." I have to agree with that statement. I think it seems kind of desperate, especially considering one of they films they listed in that trailer was made while Walt Disney himself was still alive. Just to be funny, I imagine other films being listed in that teaser, including but not limited to those that didn't do so hot at the box office: From the studio that brought you "Home on the Range," "Fun and Fancy Free," "Dinosaur," "The Black Cauldron," "Hercules," "Meet the Robinsons."
I thought this was gonna be a valid critique of the movie and it's plot etc. Nope, it's just another dude saying Disney is bad because they don't like god or some shit
revolt against maturity said it best (referring to the view of God during the jesus revolution); When God is made out to be a doting father, desire is made appalling, and gratification the greatest grace.
I like your theory but I tried to make great cartoon as Aladdin 1994 for Disney's.... I work programmer with myself (single) alone to help my mom because my mom old woman and she work as teacher and she can't help me anymore because I want to depend about myself.... So I used my abilities to work in Disney.
Nice wallpaper, Dan.
now that you mention it, that wallpaper *is* very sharp
I was thinking it was an allegory against religion after seeing tonight, Christianity in particular. Interesting hearing a Christian or at least Christianity-favoring perspective on the movie said so well - good thing too that these trailers spoil so much I guess lol. I can see how applying those critical questions to parents and God will enable rebellion to authority, especially in applying personal power to pursue impermissibilized & potentially perilous prayers. But that’s the supposedly but surreptitiously not good God King’s detrimental depowerment approach, to willfully withhold information on mass in an ignorance is bliss fashion. When knowledge is power working to keep it at bay is keeping those people weak enough to wield or govern. It is a choice of consequence to censor media from those under your care, to seek to stifle their growth like unwanted weeds, even where it would be good for them for fear it won’t be good for those above them. Children can be inspired to topple power structures that confine their potential even at their own expense - far more cunning kings don’t let their Asha equivalents access their inner sanctum’s secrets to even risk that awakening’s outbreak. Just cancel that whole social cancer gateway to own overthrown hell deal before it’s begun, what was that faith-fueled fool thinking ^ ^ ‘ ?
Not sure what you mean about the animation. Do you mean the rendering or the design? Personally, I think it reminds me a bit about Nimona.
I don't like how to put facial moles on characters for no reason.
When did Disney start going woke? I would say in the early 90s.
If King Mag can grant wishes, why doesn't he grant his own wish to disappear the protagonist. Movie over before Act II Ends.
I’m not going to jump to conclusions. I think it looks very good and hope it ends up being at least a decent film. While I agree and understand the arguments here, there may be surprises and twists in the film that make it more realistic and effective in its messaging. Furthermore, we don’t know all the details for the kings intentions and there’s likely more to it than it looks in the trailers. Define what he thinks is good for Rosas. Doesn’t mean he is doing good for the kingdom but maybe only for himself and his reign. Like maybe some wishes threaten his reign and control according to him and refusing to grant wishes while making them forget is his way of crushing any opposition to the power he’s obsessed with. Asha likely has good intentions for her people and the kingdom, not just rebelling for the heck of it. Let’s wait for the reviews, but I’m still cautiously optimistic.
Asha is actually North African Iberian. So no it’s not a exactly typical black girl protagonists.
It’s why she has braids, which we don’t know her hair type, freckles, blush on her cheeks and ears, light brown skin, light brown eyes, stuff like her face shape, nose shape, and lips.
Her mother is a North African lady called Sakina. While her grandfather is of South European likely Iberian ancestry called Sabino.
So no this isn’t another poc against the white man. They had no reason to make her half white, and yet they did. So put this whole “black girl against white patriarchy” to rest. She’s not even really black anyway. At least not west African.
Wow, there sure were a lot of non-Europeans living in Western Europe during an era when very few people outside of merchants and conquering armies took upon themselves the effort of making the long, dangerous journey of traveling abroad. Also notice that the most European-looking people in this movie are the villains.
.........You see oppression everywhere now? do you feel attacked and oppressed? are you gonna push laws that infringe on people's freedom of speech so as not hurt your feelings?
The villain in all 2023's Marvel films are black; Guardians3, Antman3 and the upcoming Marvels. The lead hero in all three films are white. Are these films racist against blacks?
The villain in Wakanda Forever is Latino, the villain in Shazam2 are 3 diverse women and the lead hero is a white man.
How do you not see you've become the neoSJWs, the new cancel/outrage culture???
I believe this takes place in the Iberian peninsula, the moors(North Africans) conquered that area for 800 hundred years. Even the Spanish language has some Arabic words due to this.
I’m assuming she may be half Spanish and Moroccan or even full Moroccan depending on the timing. Many south Spaniards and Portuguese have some North African ancestry
I would say the villians being European looking is pretty accurate lmao
@@arisboba how would it be accurate when the Moors were the invaders ? 🤔
We live in an era of wishful, albeit unrealistic, thinking. Perfect time to pretend wishes are real.
Shoot and it looked so pretty 😭
If you want to watch it then do.
I'm doing my part!
Remember how terrible Wonder woman 1984 was? Disney apparently doesn't.
I really dont think their writer are that talented or smart enough to put that level of hidden meanings, they are all mostly just like your average liberal joe, rebelling against some kind of "archy", and not being responsible/mature/adult enough to not let his personal grievances/issues affect the thing he's on in such a pity level
I don’t completely disagree with you. But, I think this movie is more pushing towards government rather than religion. I think it’s trying to say that rebellion is always an option if need be. And that perhaps when you use that rebel button you could make some unfair problems more fair. For example, segregation, that was a very unfair problem in that time of society. And then MLK Jr. came up and led a REBELLION which ended up making that issue more fair and equal. Now me personally likes the animation as it is a new princess movie about the wishing star.
Stop
The thing that Asha is wishing that everyone Wishes should be granted is the main conflict not the message for example in lion king and frozen there was a time where the protagonists made a mistake and later fixed it I mean she says that I have to undo my Wish I mean the marketing says „be careful what you Wish for" That's pointing to Ashas mistake making this Wish Im sorry but that is bullshit dont mix plot or main conflict with the message I mean the main conflict from the lion king is that Simba is running away because of his guilt is that the message? No, Its about taking responsibility and fixing things from the past
Clearly you're either a dumbass or you're biased. Clearly the Trailer show this is the plot summary, that Asha genuenly believes all wishes should be granted without question, and portrays the King (the "villain") as being a selfish man who won't grant everyone's wishes, but he's clearly not in the wrong here, granting every wish only leads to catastrophe, but the trailer clearly seems to say otherwise.
“Is god really good?” “Are my parents good for following him?” “This is not what I want my daughters to ask?” My question would be why? Why wouldn’t you want your daughters to ask is god good? Why wouldnt you want your daughters to find their own truth, find what they believe in, question why they should believe in god, question why you do? Then they can make the educated and informed decision for themselves as to what they choose to believe in and live their lives being true to themselves and their beliefs. Just because you believe does not mean they have to. They are individuals, they have their own minds, their own beliefs. Just because they might not match yours does not make it wrong, and just because they question your faith does not make it bad. Educate your sons and daughters to think for themselves and follow their own path, do not force them to follow yours. Let them question everything, learn, grow and become the person they want to be, not the person you think they should be. You are not here to create carbon copies of yourselves, you are here to educate and advise and hopefully lead them to their own path. Isn’t that what Disney teaches us? Be true to yourself, and if that means being different from your parents so be it. I truly hope this movie shows that, and not that you have to keep quiet and believe what you parents believe because ‘what your parents believe is what matters’. 😡
Why is she portrayed so goofy? Do they think kids would relate to that?
That's what we call an "A-DORK-able" character. It started with Rapunzel in Tangled, and it so it became a "Standard" for all Disney princesses after her (oh and don't forget to add an animal sidekick to the kit as well).
Honestly, it started out alright, but now it's boring, and even cringe enducing.
Stop are you doing? It’s a no no band of Internet all the haters are not allowed to be on TH-cam and delete them or else no more no more complaints. I had enough. It is what it is we don’t films is No, no
There’s nothing wrong with questioning authority. Intelligent people will reach the correct conclusions
I'm going to reserve judgement until the movie has actually come out... but yeah, I wasn't too impressed with that trailer either. I'm skeptical, but not forming an actual opinion on the film just yet. It might surprise us. Or it might not. Can't say just yet.
when i saw this it's straight copy from frozen😂or tangle
AI Prompt: Make Bruce Almighty except God is the bad guy and it looks like Disney computer animation
NtBees for Dan! go Dan! booooo to Disney woke garbage!
Yeaaaahhh... 10 seconds I to the trailer and I already agree with you, I won't let my family partake in this ungodly propaganda
Always quick to judge now aren’t we? This is a masterpiece of a film that doesn’t deserve its low score. Go watch it and u will understand that critics can’t always be trusted
I saw the movie. I didn't think it was overly woke. I did not notice any To controversial
Hopefully in the end she will learn that you can't grant all wishes, like you can't answer all prayers Bruce All Mighty
Something tells me it just going to be another woke movie, trying to be political.
ANYTHING Disney is evil, please parents don't allow them around your children 🙏🏼
That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of what's so evil about this movie
Whats evil about this
@@dilwynakowuba
Stars don't grant wishes. God is the only one who grants our wishes. I am Muslim and this is wrong.
@@abdullahsnowking8590so it is evil because it does not mention your religion and fit your beliefs?

You're right about everything, Dan. Sheer genius. Can I have my car keys back now?
It is only up to Dan to decide, relinquish your wish to him at once and forget about it!
Basically a copy of Moana I wouldn’t pay 30 + bucks to see it this is ridiculous
It’s not a copy of anything
It’s very much worth the money to go and see cuz it’s a masterpiece
Thanks for this video. I agree with you so much! So much indeed.
Such a shame what those companies try to do with our children. Such a shame.
Man, I had to stop that trailer after about less than a minute.
Lol you can easily twist anything to a specific agenda.
Oh my goodness dude really?
This was very insightful. I tried unsuccessfully to locate other of your reviews.
As a former disney die hard, the animation quality has dropped big time. It dosen’t look like a good story. And the star thingy really? I've seen the mario movie twice this year and it has far more potential then what disney is producing and considering that fact that it comes on top of 4 flops this year. Yeah, i'd rather watch transformers, sonic or mario. Then disney's rushed out woke garbage. So i'm skipping this and i recommend to everyone, if you want too. Have better fits for your bucks, then buy mario and sonic the hedgehog 2. They are much better, so vote with your wallets and not support disney. So your video spot on and you deserve a sub.
I hope that the Movie ends like Bruce Almighty. She grants everyone their wishes and the world goes to shit. That would make sense..
That won't happen.
@@inactivehorse9753
It doesn’t really need too, movie already looks like shit
@@daboz8753 oh that's a fact lol. And now I've seen the critics score on Rotten Tomatoes and it's currently at 51%, and it keeps going down lol
I made many video games and cartoons.....
Interesting analysis. I guess it’s good to start being aware.
I mean, it looks like a bad, woke movie but the connection between god and the king character is ridiculous.
Especially comparing prayers to wishes. ROFL
Kids do make this connection. My son was sad because his snowman didn't come to life, when he wished for it to. I told him that wishful thinking does not have any power. But thankfully, we have a Father in Heaven who hears our prayers and knows what we need. He doesn't just grant wishes. He knows us and knows what's best for each of us! In the end, he decided to pray for what he needed(a friend) and God answered his prayer! God is not like the villain in this movie at all! If they portray Him like that, it makes Him sound like an egocentric tyrant! That's not God at all! He is good!
@@susannasilva8135
There is no god.
There is no proof of god.
Your religion is a cult. It's not even the original version. Your cult subscribes to brand created by a King that didn't like being told what to do by the Vatican.
It's all nonsense.
I give this movie one big....meh
why would it be bad for kids to question if god is good or not ? If your god is so good, it should be simple to prove so.
I don't like the premise of the movie, but your reasons are just ridiculous.
Simple is not where we live.
Yh this story is not it
Every conscious human being knows Disney was early woke, early liberal in making every movie as dystopian as possible. Bambi is anti-2A/hunting, the rest are sappy activist kool-aid sipping concoctions of animals are smarter than humans, are above humans or should rule over humans. Never was a Disney fan from my initial viewing as a young kid. Still the same rubbish in psychopathy.
This movie review reminds me of Jesus's warning:
Mat 24:9-14
“Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come."
