… Wish is hampered due to its generic and predictable plot, which has nothing new to offer. Running on the same formula of good beating evil, the songs are forgettable and sometimes slow down the narrative.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 23, 2024

Intended as a celebration of the studio's 100th birthday, this latest animation is a forgettable jumble of allusions with no real soul of its own.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 11, 2024

Wish works well as a tribute to Disney not only through the many easter eggs but also because its very own premise calls back to one of Disney’s core concepts of wishing upon a star.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 14, 2024

Wish is a decent film with good themes to share, although it somewhat buckles under the weight of its status.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 19, 2024

...would be instantly forgettable if it weren’t for the bizarre story choices that can only be described as autopopulated hiccups.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 8, 2024

A grab bag of storytelling tropes, generic characters and musical styles from the well-thumbed Disney playbook.

| Apr 10, 2024

A musical mashup of irksome ideas... a lifeless husk dressed up like a feature film. Every decision seems to stop at the first idea... never plussed in any way or given any complexity... exists merely because the studio demanded it.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Apr 10, 2024

Competent but boring, typically Disneyesque yet unenthused and forgettable.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Apr 10, 2024

Disney 100 turns up a catch-22: Those who have seen many Disney movies are the target audience of Wish, but those who have seen many Disney movies have already seen everything in this movie.

While it doesn't have catchy songs or a sound plot like Encanto, Wish still manages to bring the public a simplicity and candor that we haven't seen in a long time. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 3, 2024

Wish could have been another Disney triumph, limited only by time to fully realize its grand vision.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 12, 2024

With imagination as its flag, Wish paradoxically chooses to honor Disney's history in the most linear and conservative way possible, appealing to the emotion of a loyal audience over the risk of starting a more disruptive path... [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 4, 2024

A musical film, tied to many of the tips, clichés, or whatever you want to call what usually populates these types of films, that's clearly aimed at the little ones. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 4, 2024

There is nothing too irritating but also nothing surprising in Chris Buck's film... [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 3, 2024

Wish feels soulless at times, but the film is a step in the right direction for Disney Animation Studios, as the company acknowledges they have fresh characters, not merely sequels, even if the characters retread classic storylines.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 1, 2024

When you remind audiences of classic movies they grew up with, even as an Easter egg, it takes away from what’s being played in front of them. You’d rather watch the reference. And that’s the biggest problem. The film has no identity of its own.

| Original Score: C+ | Jan 1, 2024

On one level, the total artistic failure of Wish is reassuring because it shows there are occasions when vast amounts of money and supposed expertise really don’t make a difference.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Dec 29, 2023

A lukewarm homage that lacks Disney's visual and narrative inventiveness. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 29, 2023

“Wish” is a perfectly enjoyable, entertaining fairy tale. It is an expressive nod to the past, paying tribute to Disney’s extensive legacy in animation.

| Dec 29, 2023

[Wish] assumes that the magic that governs its universe is will save it and turn it into a remembered tribute, but it only ends up being a fairly executed project with beautiful and wasted art. [Full review in Spanish]
