Everything in Wish is muted and messy, from the lackluster story that fails to pack a punch to the random smattering of songs from different genres of music that don’t quite fit. The animation is sharp and something different, so I’ll give it a pass.
Look, I’m all for an origin story for the Star, but this ain’t it. Add in the countless references and a villain who seems to be a shadow of better offerings, you get a film that was supposed to be a celebration of the last 100 years that instead makes you wish the talent wasn’t wasted on such mediocrity.
