Top Comments of this video!! :3
We were robbed. What wouldâve worked more was if the king and queen were both evil and Asha was their daughter. Then Asha wouldâve grown up thinking that keeping the wishes was the right thing and star boy had to help show her the right way. Also it would add a lot more to Ashaâs character by standing against her parents since for all the other Disney princesses with evil parents theyâre always stepparents (Lady Tremaine, Evil Queen, and Gothel). So the fact that a princesses actual parents are evil wouldâve been so cool

The concept of the movie had an evil royal couple and a romance between Asha and the Star who had a male form. An awesome concept I can think of is the King and Queen were both evil and Asha is their daughter so she grew up thinking that stealing wishes is the right thing. Then the Star boy comes and has to help teach her the right way. What if you made the Star have to help her learn in order to be able to go back to the stars after. Iâm on the verge of writing and designing that story myself

I refuse to believe that the villain was always meant to be a straightforward, evil villain. He had all the set up for being your standard âgood intentions that were lost along the wayâ bad guy before someone said âhey, Disney fans miss the fun, evil, bad guysâ and then they changed his outcome without altering the set up

I think shiny gets more respect than âthis is the thanks I getâ because it strikes the perfect balance between cheery and sinister. Shiny never quite lets you forget that Tamatoa is stronger than both of these characters and is trying to kill both of them. Meanwhile MagnĂfico sounds like a self centered ineffective blowhard, not a major villain who could and would kill somebody.
Gastonâs song works because itâs mostly sung to him, not by him, and heâs just a guy with influence, not the magic wielding king of an entire nation.
When Gaston sings a reprise of the song for himself, itâs a lot more serious and less goofy. And he also gets an even more serious and sinister song later on when he raises up the crowd to kill the beast, while MagnĂfico doesnât get one like this. His second song is literally a love song.

The problem with Magnifico's song isn't just that it's upbeat. It's that it's upbeat AND IT'S BLAND. It sounds like department store music.
Yes, "Gaston" and "Shiny" are both upbeat, but they both have a ton of character to them. "Gaston" is basically a bar song where Gaston's drinking in the town's adoration, and "Shiny" is Tamatoa basking in his own self-adoration in such a hammy, over-the-top way that you just can't help but love watching him. Plus, "Shiny" still has sinister undertones despite being upbeat, due to the heroes being in danger during the song. And Gaston gets a second villain song later in the movie which is much more sinister than "Gaston".

Giving Asha SEVEN friends we are supposed to care about is such an obviously bad idea. Just have Dahlia, and then the other 6 appear in one scene as a one-off joke/reference. No spoilers but when that one friend was apologizing to Asha and we are supposed to be touched by it, no one was touched because they and Asha had barely even said two words to each other!!

My main complaint with Magnifico is they wanted to have it both waysâfor him to be both a completely irredeemable sinister villain harkening back to classic Disney AND a relatable tragic backstory villain who thinks heâs doing the right thing like with their more modern stories. Thatâs why his transformation to full villain seems so suddenâbecause they wrote him to be two completely opposite things and he has to switch over from one to the other before the runtime is up lol.

THANK YOU for calling out the style of this movie and recognizing it isn't actually hybrid but just a shader. It seems many people fall for it, and as an animator it makes me cringe inside a little whenever it happens. Listen, it would've been AWESOME on paper - what a better way to celebrate Disney's animation trajectory than using both 2D AND 3D at the same time? - but they chose the laziest possible way of doing it and hoped to profit off the style's recent popularity without understanding what made it so attractive and revolutionary in the first place.

Disney didnât use villains for so long they forgot how to write compelling ones.
