why Wish's soulless animation is worse than you thought

i wish this movie didn’t exist 😭 also if anyone knows a real-life Flynn Rider hmu

What I loved about tangled was it wasn't afraid to have TEETH. Mother Gothel is one of the most insidious, evil villains in Disney history for how she emotionally manipulates and abused Rapunzel. and the fact that it gets genuinely dark and a little violent towards the end, it's amazing that Disney allowed that.

You talking about the colours made me think "so Wish is the sad beige of animations"

On Asha's outfit, her purple is so MUTED, if it was more saturated it would suit her but a bright yellow and red would make her glow so much more, and would force animators to make her surroundings, like her home,or the kitchen with friends, more warmer too to symbolize her being connected with people.

i'm just like... who puts a main character in MUTED PURPLE when all of the backgrounds are MUTED BLUE?? meanwhile rapunzel is in SOFT PINK/PURPLE in a BRIGHT GREEN world. contrast = interest 🤷🏼‍♀️

One thing I noticed is that there are no hard shadows in this movie. It makes it look like cheap 3D and like everything is smooth

The really went children's hospital colour theory with the purple dress

Everything new I hear about Wish makes me hate it more, whereas everything new I hear about Tangled makes me fall deeper in love with it

As someone who watched Tangled multiple times, I'd like to add something; The movie gets more charming as you watch it more and you get to notice the little things, the characters faces while they have interactions, the pretty delicate details that you'll only notice on your second to third watch that makes you appreciate the movie more and it's animation

The fact that they were able to create an ENTIRE TV SERIES just from the movie Tangled just goes to show how much care was put into the original

I think the desire to be an anniversary film is the ultimate reason why it's so bland. Like instead of making a movie Walt would be proud of, like the creative ideas in the concept art, they just copied themselves without realizing the true magic behind Disney: creativity and a love for art. Walt was a businessman, but he was an artist first and foremost.

Any time you show pictures of the artbook, I just start sobbing. We were so robbed of a better movie...

The first time I saw Wish, the music, the animation, I said one thing, “Too many hands in the pot!” I’ve worked on group projects where there is not a cohesive vision, rather too many visions. I recognized this almost immediately. And it turns out, this was pretty close to what happened

I honestly wish that they'd committed to having the Queen be part of an evil couple, alongside her husband, as was initially planned. Her being good just didn't seem to be explored enough.

Tangled flopped at the box office?!? This is an alternate Disney history.

Another aspect that ended up bringing Wish down was the comparison between the two main characters' personalities. They're both supposed to be adorable, quirky and awkward, and with Rapunzel it makes sense; she's been in a tower her whole life, she has no social skills so she's both afraid and too trustworthy of everything around her. This can be shown by being obviously scared of the guys from the tabern and seconds later listening to their stories. She was scared of the unknown but didn't hesitate to humanize people usually seen as misfits. This can also be explained by the dancing scene in the Kingdom; who cares if no one was dancing, she wants to dance so she dances, a normal person probably would have never done that. Her personality connects with her story. Asha was quirky and awkward because... well, that's what people like I guess, a bit similar to what happened with Mirabel in Encanto. They're awkward cause the script says so, not because their story builded their personalities or their upbringing changed the way they see the world; and that's why she feels so empty during her I want song

Not me tearing up at the reunion with no sound because it still chokes me up. I'm such a baby when it comes to movies and when I watched Wish and didn't even tear up, my fiance said "Wow, that bad, huh?"

Wish is so stewed in references to the point where it stops being charming and becomes, "Have you ever had an original thought before?"

I find it crazy how Enchanted, was a better movie homage to Disney. It poked fun while telling a nuanced story about fairytales and true love. Plus Giselle is a great Princess

I gotta say: I didn't and don't especially care for Tangled but this video made me remember it's really important to stress the difference between "I didn't care for it." and "It's bad" because anything that can have this much of an impact on someone couldn't be awful. Tangled really deserves well-spoken people like you who say more than "It's good" but clearly care on such a deep level so as to explain why it's good and really break down all the love an attention that was put into its development. It's the type of thing that makes me really hope that future Disney productions go in that direction (maybe even bringing back the creative leads from Tangled, as you suggested) and that Tangled itself continues to get more appreciation and recognition it deserves. Even if my personal tastes aren't so easily changed I respect it and you quite a bit now!
