I Don’t Like Anything About Wish

It’s one of those Mondays where I don’t have anything to share, but I want to post something, so I’m digging up this trailer from a week or two ago for the upcoming animated Disney movie Wish. I don’t like Wish. I don’t like these trailers. I don’t like the characters, the jokes or, especially, the talking goat. Alan Tudyk is a national treasure…but man, I hate his talking goat.

The premise seems OK…but also really crummy. Gah. I don’t like how I hate everything about this trailer. The main character, Asha, seems like she was written by committee looking to make the human equivalent of ‘plucky’. The villain seems pretty dull. I’m not entirely sure what’s even happening in the story. And the talking goat is such a ‘talking animal sidekick’ cliche to the max, and I hate the talking animal sidekick cliche with a passion.

But it’s Monday, and I wanted to share something, so mission accomplished. Wish is coming to theaters sometime around Thanksgiving.

Disney: The Last Wish

Disney Animation has revealed their first look at their next movie, Wish, which I think is about the magic of Disney making a wish upon a star. Just like how Puss in Boots made a wish upon a star?! I kid. But so far, this teaser looks pretty generic. Heroin, villain, animal sidekick.

They even included the little star dude from the Mario movie!

Still kidding. Anyway, I’m a big fan of Disney animation in recent years. Encanto was great! I don’t remember what they did after Encanto…oh right, Strange World! Yeah, Strange World was fine. So we’re just gonna have to hope — rightfully so — that Wish will also be fine. That’s my hope, at least. Or perhaps it’s my…wish?

Anyway, Wish comes to theaters on Nov. 22.
