So I rewrote Wish...

...to have something more for us than this.

I wrote this in three days so it's not production quality, but at the very least it solves a lot of plotholes.

“A fox wishes his friendship with his dog buddy never ends” seeing that in the film would be enough to make the older fans PLENTY emotional

[glichimech]

the idea of Starboy brushing his hair with the fork as a reference to the little mermaid just made me start clapping, thats a perfect way to use a proper reference to an old disney movie!

This is why I love the Wish “fandom”. It’s so creative and takes something that had so much potential and actually give it the potential is deserved. I loved this rewrite

[factoryresetbutton]

i saw this comment on a video where an artist redesigned the wish characters and it suggested that since the original star didnt speak, star boy could also be non verbal and speak in sign language. they also added that the star's signing could get messier and more frantic the more emotion he gets.

Cool. One idea- instead of Ashe accidentally killing the queen, maybe you could make Magnifico be part of the battle and accidentally kill the queen in the crossfire. That was it's not Ashe's fault, and you could use it as a reference to Ursula killing Flotsam and Jetsam in The Little Mermaid.

[tomsparrow]

One small suggestion; when Asha hits starboy with the broom, the star magic should make the broom move around like a person, to reference the Sorcerer's apprentice.

I actually thought this movie was going to be about wants vs needs. Like, the King understood this and Asha was the one that had to learn that wishes aren't always smart or good.

[ddhvn]

i have an idea for the goat:

Valentino was actually the king's former apprentice, but he was cursed by Magnifico for speaking out against him. When Valentino gets his voice back, he has an identity crisis because his memory was wiped. At the end of the movie, he gets transformed back into a human by a kiss from the star boy (to reference Princess and The Frog)

All Disney had to do was write the damn thing themselves. Now we have Adam Sandler writing the best last-ish movie of 2023. By the way, good on him for writing and acting in said masterpiece along with Smigel and Paul Sado. Excellent work. Now, all we have to do is wait for Disney to fuck up a lot more, and more independent movies can get into the spotlight.

It’s crazy how all of the fan animations and rewritten stories blow me away including this and and are all better than Disney’s version by far…..

Man we could bully Disney into rewriting the story entirely

[elliottsalt]

I haven't seen the original, but this rewrite seems good to me.

now write a fully blown script in 2 days

*Another Idea for ending, * in the fight between Star and Magnifico, Mag's magic could of been deflected in one of the scenes resulting in Mag accidentally killing or freezing his own wife.
He would be distracted for a moment, overwhelmed by shock and a bit self reflection. Asha would try to reason with him, but he is too far gone and tries to take his anger out on Asha, this is where Star flies in to protect her but gets seriously injured.
That injury causes an explosion of star dust and light, drawling in the citizens to the commotion.

They get covered in the dust and are immuned to his manipulation and temporarily have powers, which they start questioning Mag and riot against him, either killing, arresting or banishing him.

That's when Asha does to the broken Star, and Wishes for him to be alright. The other citizens begin to join her and the Star starts to glow, he takes his human form briefly and they have a moment. And he tells her that even if he must go, he is never truly gone as if she's ever lonely or needs someone to listen to he is always a Star in the night sky.

Like the quote from The Little Prince "In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night. You only you will have stars that can laugh"

[tomboyjessie]

Ok, but a villainous power couple? How could they have slept on it?

[benjaminjara]

Can we start using the term "anti-fandom" to refer to all the franchises that generated a massive fan cult SPECIFICALLY to create better stories while making fun at the source material?

[clairem]

OH MY GOD
I JUST REALIZED
WHY DIDNT THEY HAVE THE GRANDFATHER LOOK LIKE WALT DISNEY!?!?!?!?!
His wish even fits already! Or you could change it to something more accurate to the real Walt like “I wish to promote that childlike wonder in all of us” or “I wish to bring joy to the world through art and story telling”.
He could even have a tiny mouse sidekick 🥺
And maybe have some ducks and dogs. And he tries to be a wingman for his little mouse when it tries to go flirt with a girl mouse 🥺

[Wingedspace]

The more I see Asha at the start of the video, I’m like “Braids don’t flow in the wind like that”. Lol

[abby.animated]

Instead of Asha hitting star with a broom, she could hit with a book like Tiana does to Naveen when he shows up as a frog

[Chemical_Argentum]

Starboy showing what people who wished upon a star actually had their wishes granted was BRILLIANT!!!

[sawyerk]

One small edit on top of your edits: I think it would be good if the captured wishes were actually stars. Then they can have this paraell with Asha wanting to help save her people, and Star wanting to help save his, and both valuing what the other person wants, or wishing for what's good for the other person moreover, over simply being together. I think if the captured wishes are also captured stars imprisoned in bubbles, ones who presumably fell to earth to grant the wishes they heard and were never able to carry out their purpose, it also makes Magnifico more evil. Which is a plus.

Not gonna lie it would've been amazing if they finally did 2-D movies again especially for the 100th anniversary
