Every Disney Reference in Wish

This video contains every Disney in Wish, including about a few dozen that I don't think anyone has found.

I went frame-by-frame through the film and spent a lot of time googling names and rewatching classic Disney films..

When Asha says, “Oh, Mama” it sounds EXACTLY like Tiana.

[josephe]

When Magnifico got sucked in the mirror, there was a slight reference to the villain defeat in Princess and the Frog.

[lamontsimmons]

I think this is one you missed. After Simon’s wish is granted, he says, “Long live the king, ” which is the same line Scar said to Mufasa in The Lion King.

The Atlantis reference might be the moment Star steals Dahlia's glasses and looks through them like Kida does with Milo's

[TolisArmenistis]

When Asha’s friends hold the ropes and they jump to open the roof of the castle, it resembles the way that Quasimodo was ringing the bells in Norte Dame. And of course they shout like Tarzan.
Other than that, I see Valentino, being a goat, always supporting the main female character as a (wild) reference to Djali, the goat of Esmeralda in The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

[sheaharris]

I was thinking when she said “just keep wishing” it was a reference to Finding Nemo’s “just keep swimming”

[authoreyes]

Missed the reference to Mulan's opening sequence: when Asha is sitting with her dad, it's in an ink drawn style in a similar way to Mulan's opening.

[powerpup]

Here's a Disney reference you missed: During the first scene with Asha and her friends, one of them offers their cookie to another and says, "Take mine." This is most likely a reference to 101 Dalmatians when Roger says, "Take mine, " as he offers his handkerchief to Anita.

The dancing chickens scene had the same movements/sequence shots as the dinnerware from “Be Our Guest” in Beauty and the Beast

When Asha tries to take the staff at the end, it’s the same movements as when Ariel tries to get the triton from Usula

[andrewweaver]

Also a reference: the diamond shaped patterns on Magnifico’s wall are just like the ones Elsa makes when she wakes up the enchanted forest in frozen 2

[serenamolinari]

maybe it's just me but the whole scene of the dinner when Asha has an argument with Sabino right before the song "this wish", it resambles a lot the scene of the argument between Mulan and her father before she decides to join the troops

[tsitraht]

Asha walking over the bridge in the forest during “This Wish” is reminiscent of Mulan walking over bridge (in terms of composition) like Mulan during “Reflection” sequence.

[marcelogorenman]

Missed ref: near the end of Wish, there is a shot that starts on a belltower and travels down into the town. This is a reference to a famous shot in Pinocchio (the morning he goes to school), which was the most expensive shot in that film.

[HeartszukoKamaping]

You skipped one Disney reference. The scene in the movie "Wish" where Valentino sticks his tongue out at the wall painting of King Magnifico when Asha was singing was mostly likely referenced from the scene in the movie "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" when Esmeralda’s goat, Djali stuck his tongue out at Judge Claude Frollo right after Esmeralda announced Judge Claude Frollo as "the only fool."

[zwinkels]

her earrings. are not references to Maui's hook. but they are pumpkin seeds she also wears them around her ankle. it is a reference to Cinderella's fairy godmother👍

[o.lyandzberg]

The neon green eyes Magnifico (and Simon, at one point) gets, are REALLY reminiscent of Bruno's, when he uses his gift. This is definitely not a coincidence.

[GalaxinaStyle]

One more: the bear calls the deer "brother", I bet that's a Brother Bear reference!

[IzayoiArwena]

This is why i love this movie, so many references, like a homage for Disney. And the welcome to Rosas kinda reminds me of family Madrigal, i dont know why. Maybe because of the introductions. Was happy to notice Peter Pan and Mary Poppins. Also the scissors remind me of Auroras dress scene. I had a feleing that Ashas friends are the dwarves but i didnt notice that they even have their clothes. I thought Dario is Happy because he loves to make fun and Hal is Dopey but something wasnt right. Oh my God, they even have names starting on the same letter like their equivalents!

You can see HeiHei the chicken in the chicken coop when the star first comes out of the bag.

[crazyy_shay]

One that you missed that I immediately recognized is when Magnifico sings This is the Thanks I Get he does the SAME hand gesture as Elsa in Frozen, when she got upset at Anna at the ball, when she revealed her powers to everyone for the first time before running away.
