Disney’s “Wish” Takes a Surprising Political Turn
Leftward Lurch
Disney's recent battles with Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and its woke agenda have been no secret. The studio's political stance has sent it into a fiscal tailspin and left fans wondering when Disney will rediscover its magic.
A Political Twist
The new animated film, "Wish," surprises viewers with its libertarian messaging. The story revolves around Asha, who longs to be King Magnifico's apprentice. However, she soon discovers that the King controls the wishes of the people and is stingy when it comes to making them come true.
A Quest for Freedom
Asha embarks on a mission to retrieve her grandfather's wish and is joined by an adorable star named Star and a talking goat named Valentino. Together, they challenge the King's authority and fight for their own dreams.
Catchy Musical Numbers
"Wish" starts strong with buoyant musical numbers and stunning animation. The film combines hand-drawn characters with digital effects, creating a unique visual style.
A Missed Opportunity
While "Wish" has moments of charm, some sequences fall flat and supporting characters lack depth. The film stays true to the Disney aesthetic but fails to dig deeper into its creative DNA.
A Libertarian Message
The core messages of "Wish" challenge the idea of relying on big government for protection and emphasize the importance of individual dreams. Conservatives may be surprised by the film's messaging, but audiences of all ideological stripes will yearn for a third act that lives up to the Disney brand.
Final Verdict
While "Wish" offers a shockingly libertarian message, it falls short of the standards set by past Disney classics.
