Only weak part was the unremarkable songs. I came out of Frozen and Moana with Let It Go and You're Welcome on my head, this I vaguely remember the main Wish song.

So what you're saying is....Jack Black's definitely winning for Peaches?

There's no way Peaches is winning when Barbie has that category on lock.

Critics Consensus

Wish earns some tugs at the heartstrings with the way it warmly references many of the studio's classics, but nostalgia's no substitute for genuine storytelling magic -- no matter how beautifully animated it might be.

Audience score start rising back to 83% after 100 votes. 

[MovieMan89]

Sub 50% major animation studio films since 2010 (WDAS, Pixar, Illumination, DWA, SPA, Blue Sky):

 

Spirit: Untamed - 48%
Wish - 47% (in progress)

Boss Baby: Family Business - 46%

The Star - 43% (animated movies about stars are cursed??) 
Cars 2 - 40%

Ice Age Continental Drift - 37%

Ice Age Collision Course - 18%
The Emoji Movie - 6% (truly “impressive” for big budget animation lol)

Wish, The Star, and Emoji are the only non-sequels. I don’t think Paramount Animation is a “major” one since they haven’t had a big hit or big budget before, but they’ve dropped a few real turds though.

84% audience score is horrendous. Hope it goes up.

[MovieMan89]

I don’t think the audience score is that bad if it stays there, but it’s still super early. What’s bad is that it legit looks like it may be going under the chicken little/brother bear all time WDAS RT low mark of 37% at this rate. Mid 40s now, avg rating is almost exactly the same as chicken little’s

Just saw the movie and yeah it’s not good. This would’ve been released straight to video 20 years ago… My nieces enjoyed the movie and kids in the theater as well so there’s that. But yeah Disney needs to changed their creative teams and put in stricter quality controls because all their releases this year except Guardians 3 have been lacking. They can’t keep putting out crap like this and expect audiences to trust them. Also this movie did not feel or look like a $200 million movie. Where did all that $$$ go cause from what I saw on screen I would’ve guessed like a $100 million budget at most and even then I’d say Disney got ripped off.

The blissful April 2023 days when this was supposed to break out like Frozen and do 1.1 billion

Meanwhile, me saying something seemed “off” just from the concept of it alone…. 

[MovieMan89]

Really though it was knowing WDAS history that caused me to have no faith in this all these months. A movie like Strange World after such a long and high era doesn’t just end up a “one off” if you know your Disney history. It was a sign some bad history was starting to repeat

The animation style of this movie just sucks honestly

[HummingLemon496]

We're gonna get the CinemaScore in a bit. Expecting B/B+ and then an influx of "it's joever Disney is dead forever hahaahahaah" Reddit comments.

and remember, in 2003, the average wide release had a 44.6% positive grade. It's roughly 65% today thanks to an influx of easy critics.

Wish has got a “A-“ on Cinemascore

[HummingLemon496]

A- is meh for a family film honestly. Honestly impressive how Frozen II managed to make $1.45b with a meh A-

A- was the lowest CS grade Wish could afford to have. I see average legs for it though.

 

Frozen characters are beloved around the world which helped F2, even if the story was just ok. Big demand to see the sequel. But they need to do better for Frozen 3+4.

[Borobudur]

At least A- isn't as bad as feared based on that 82% verified score

Marvels/Flash flashbacks

[MovieMan89]

A- is definitely best case considering the critical reception. Audiences probably don’t hate it as much as critics. But I can’t see that saving it either.
